v0.10.0 alpha 2

-Added pointer types, same syntax as references but using * instead of &/?.
-Added support for references/pointers into world/global arrays. Example: (int[] world:10* test;)
-Added void array nullable reference/pointer type. This type can be implicitly converted to any other reference/pointer type.
-Added internal keyword to replace current private.
-Added PTR_SPC macro to libbcs. When defined before including libbcs, it's pointers and functions will use the world/global array specified. Example: (#define PTR_SPC global:42).
-Added alloca to libbcs, which will automatically free the memory after one tic.
-libbcs malloc will now return 0 when appropriate.
-libbcs memory allocation will now display an error when out of memory.
-libbcs local heap size is 4x bigger by default (65536 words).
-libbcs errors/warnings are now colored.
-Deprecated private keyword for object visibility (except when applied to namespaces).

v0.10.0 alpha 1

• Added libbcs.bcs. Currently provides malloc/realloc/free, dynamic array and C-style printf functions.
• Added zcommon.acs, which simply imports zcommon.bcs.
• Nullable array/struct references can now be cast to/from int, allowing some rudimentary pointer arithmetic.
• "::" is now the namespace separator. [Positron, for BCC]
• Added "lengthof()" operator. [Positron, for BCC]
• Deprecated ".length()" array/string member functions. [Positron, for BCC]
• Deprecated "." as namespace separator. [Positron, for BCC]
• "lengthof()" can take in structure references now.
• Diagnostic messages are now written to stderr instead of stdout.

Version 0.9.0

• Added #pragma raw define on/off, which allows enabling/disabling C-like preprocessor macros.
• Added #pragma raw include on/off, which allows enabling/disabling preprocessor include (can appear at almost any point in the file).
• Preprocessor directives are now case insensitive like the rest of the language.
• Fixed broken runtime assert message (was supposed to be tinted red originally, but the code for it was buggy).
• zt-bcc can now be used with SLADE to compile BCS code. Doom Builders should work too, but currently untested.
• Removed ACS/ACS95 compilation modes. If needed, BCC 0.8 or ACC can still be used for this purpose.
• zcommon.bcs should be up to date with all new Zandronum, GZDoom and K8Vavoom functions.

Source changes:

• Removed all non-standard functions (hopefully).
• Fixed all warnings, at least when compiling under MSYS2 with MinGW.

NOTE: If you downloaded before 9:35PM - 17 January 2023 (UTC), please redownload, as the wrong zcommon.bcs was bundled in the win32 zip.
