[gameprogrammer] ANN: EEL 0.1.6 released

EEL 0.1.6 released
------------------
    "Not much time for wrapping up and releasing lately, but
    this version has evolved in parallel with substantial
    amounts of production EEL code, so chances are it won't
    blow up in your face instantly. ;-)
       Some 200 new lines in the ChangeLog, covering bug
    fixes, new features, and some improvements to the
    language. Most interestingly;

      * Improved error handling and more informative VM
        dumps, with source line numbers
      * Explicit declarations - no more accidental
        assignments to existing variables
      * OOP member call syntax; ie some_object:SomeMethod(),
        passing self implicitly
      * Some syntax sugar for constructing objects from
        tables
      * switch..case..else construct
      * file and memfile types
      * continue now always works as expected
      * repeat (bypassing loop test) in any loop construct
      * Dedicated vector operators - + concatenates
        indexable objects, vectors included
      * Constant declarations
      * Compile EEL source code from (d)strings at run time
      * SFont rendering, GUI toolkit and other additions to
        EELBox
      * More test/demo scripts for EEL and EELBox"

So, will someone beat me to writing the first ever game in EEL...? ;-)

(Sorry, no sound support yet. I want to do it right, allowing EEL code 
to run "live" in the audio thread - but one could get away without 
that by wrapping some native sound engine, such as SDL_mixer. Also, 
networking is TCP only, as I've had no need for UDP for the work 
related stuff so far.)
