I've released 2.16.2. Most work in this release went towards preparing the
library to support registration of template types.

A few other improvements were made though. First, the initialization of the
global variables have been changed to make sure the primitive values are
computed before the objects. This allows class constructors to access
primitive global variables without having to worry about which will be
initialized first.

Another improvement is that the script language is now fully supporting UTF8
encoding. This means that string literals may now include UTF8 encoded
characters, and there is also the new escape sequences \uFFFF and \UFFFFFFFF
to insert UTF8 encoded unicode points in the string. Note that as this may
affect some existing code, there is also a new engine property
asEP_SCRIPT_SCANNER for setting whether ASCII or UTF8 should be used.
Also, don't forget to check out the bug fixes.
