This release adds # as an alternative symbol for "line comment" (mostly useful for shell scripts). It adds an alignment flag for user data types. It adds a new API function sq_throwobject. There are minor bugfixes.
sq_getcallee() was added in the API. sq_getfreevariable() also works for native closures. Minor optimizations were made. Several warnings when compiling with GCC 4.x were removed. Some errors in the documentation were fixed. A bug when using SQUSEDOUBLE and 32-bit intengers was fixed. A bug when invoking generators with closure.call() was fixed.
Metamethods error handling was improved. The "isstatic" parameter was added to the _newmember metamethod. sq_getrefcount() was added to return the number of refences from C++. Minor bugs were fixed.
Class methods can be added or replaced after the class has been instantiated. JSON compliant table syntax was added as an experimental feature. sq_getsize() now returns userdatasize for classes and instances. setroottable() and setconsttable() now return the previous value of the respective table. A few minor bugfixes and refactoring were done.
