Kite

Kite now uses the same Flex/Bison based parser that non–LLVM Kite uses, significantly improving compile time. 100% of Kite syntax can now be parsed. string|format was added to the standard library. kdoc (System.doc) support and prerequisite System.object methods are now fully functional. The eval statement now supported (e.g. eval “1|print;”). Code versioning support from non–LLVM Kite is now active. Compilation errors on some systems were fixed.

Internal data structures were optimized for performance and memory consumption, and initial support for multiple inheritance was added.

This release fixed problems with the Windows installer and with the Kite debugger.

A new package building system has been added, as well as some new methods in the standard library. Several bugs have also been fixed.

Compile errors when using certain releases of GCC have been fixed. Lists now have an explicit operator for adding items to an existing list instead of creating a new list. Several classes have been created to handle POP3/SMTP email, and numbers can now be represented in different formats. Finally, regular expression bugs have been fixed and regular expressions are now part of Kite's syntax.
