v1.0.0-beta-02

Lang updates

• Add output of function names for partially called combinator functions to the stack trace output
• Add line numbers to the stack trace output
• Rename func.moduleExportCollectionVariable() to func.moduleExportCompositeVariable()
• Rename func.getModuleVariableCollection() to func.getModuleVariableComposite()
• Official spelling of this programming language is now Lang
• Add LangTest functions: func.testAssertTypeEquals() and func.testAssertTypeNotEquals()
• Rename func.formatTranslationTemplatePluralization() to func.formatTemplatePluralization()
• Allow for-each iteration of struct definition objects and instance objects
• Add the &Pair predefined struct definition type and functions for it
• Rename all LangTest functions from func.langTest...() to func.test...()
• Change behavior of func.makeFinal() and func.makeStatic(): Pointer to variable which is to be modified must be provided
• Add the &Complex predefined struct definition type and functions for it
• Add the &StackTraceElement predefined struct definition type and functions for it
• Define func.isInstanceOf() and the INSTANCE_OF operator (~~) for struct definition types
• Add the member access operator (::)
• Add the STRUCT data type and struct functions
• Removal of func.hexToDez()
• Removal of func.getErrorString()
• Removal of func.dtoi() and func.dtol()
• Removal of func.getLangRequest()
• Removal of func.condition()
• Change behavior of func.freeVar(): Pointer to variable which is to be deleted must be provided (FUNCTION_POINTER and ARRAY variables can no longer be deleted directly)
• Removal of func.clearVar(), func.clearAllVars(), and func.clearAllArrays()
• func.arrayDelete() was renamed to func.arrayReset()
• Removal of func.arrayClear()
• Removal of the implicit array variable creation version of func.arrayMake()
• Add l/L number postfix for LONG values
• Removal of the USE_OF_COPY_AFTER_FP warning
• Removal of func.copyAfterFP()
• Change func.exec(): Execute in callee scope
• Improve assignment parsing: If lvalue contains opening (, [, or { but no matching closing bracket, the expression is no longer an assignment (func.println(Hello = 42) is now working as expected)
• Fix parsing of variables in translationKey, token, and function argument list parsing
• Change parsing of con.repeat() and con.foreach(): Parse operands as operation expressions
• Improve parsing of operation expressions: Keep execution mode inside function calls and array creations (Add parser-only Comma operator)
• Change parsing of con.if(), con.elif(), con.while() and con.until(): Parse operand as operation expression instead of condition expression
• Change default version of the INC (▲) operator to (+|) and change default version of the DEC (▼) operator to (-|)
• Add internal functionName attribute to Function Pointers for better stack trace outputs
• Add the BYTE_BUFFER data type and byte buffer functions
• Fix loading of modules with relative paths
• Removal of pointer redirection
• Add Lang error message for the Java UnsupportedClassVersionError for native Lang modules

Lang shell updates

• Add saving to .lang file dialog (save: CTRL + S, save as: CTRL + SHIFT + S)
• Change shortcut for inserting special chars to CTRL + I
• Add file chooser for inserting file paths (CTRL + SHIFT + F)
• Add improved auto-complets for linker.unloadModule()

Lang module updates

• Add optional fields to LMC files: description and version

Lang native module updates

• Rename CONSTRAINT_COLLECTION (Marked as deprecated and will be removed before 1.0.0 will be released) to CONSTRAINT_COMPOSITEin the DataObject class
• Add the LangCompositeTypes class
• The lang.platform package was moved outside the module package
• Add throwError() helper methods
• Add the withFunctionName() method in the FunctionPointerObject class
• Add functionName attribute to the FunctionPointerObject class
• Fix the unload method of Lang native modules was not executed on the same instance the load method was called on
• Add createDataObject() methods
• Add the callFunctionPointer(String, List<DataObject>, final int) method
• Add the callFunctionPointer(DataObject, List<DataObject>, final int) method
• Add the getPredefinedFunctionAsDataObject() method
