v1.5.0

New Functionality

• GH-1179: Cap parallelism use for JIT background jobs.

  During JIT, we would previously launch all compilation jobs in parallel. For
  projects using many modules this could have lead to resource contention which
  often forced users to use sequential compilation with
  HILTI_JIT_SEQUENTIAL. We now by default cap the number of parallel
  background jobs at the number of logical cores. This can be parameterized
  with the environment variable HILTI_JIT_PARALLELISM which for
  HILTI_JIT_PARALLELISM=1 reproduces HILTI_JIT_SEQUENTIAL.

• GH-1134: Add support for synchronize-at and synchronize-after properties.

  These unit properties allow specifying a literal which should be searched for
  during error recovery. If the respective unit is used as a synchronize point
  during error recovery, i.e., it is used as a field which is marked
  &synchronize, input resynchronization during error recovery will seek to
  the next position of this pattern in the input stream.

• GH-1209: Provide error message to %error handler.

  We now allow to optionally provide a string parameter with
  %error that will receive the associated error message:

  on %error(msg: string) { print msg; }
