Fixes

• Assert triggered when casting from int[2] to uint[2] #2115
• Assert when a macro with compile time value is discarded, e.g. foo(); where foo() returns an untyped list. #2117
• Fix stringify for compound initializers #2120.
• Fix No index OOB check for [:^n] #2123.
• Fix regression in Time diff due to operator overloading #2124.
• attrdef with any invalid name causes compiler assert #2128.
• Correctly error on @attrdef Foo = ;.
• Contract on trying to use Object without initializing it.
• Variable aliases of aliases would not resolve correctly. #2131
• Variable aliases could not be assigned to.
• Some folding was missing in binary op compile time resolution #2135.
• Defining an enum like ABC = { 1 2 } was accidentally allowed.
• Using a non-const as the end range for a bitstruct would trigger an assert.
• Incorrect parsing of ad hoc generic types, like Foo{int}**** #2140.
• $define did not correctly handle generic types #2140.
• Incorrect parsing of call attributes #2144.
• Error when using named argument on trailing macro body expansion #2139.
• Designated const initializers with {} would overwrite the parent field.
• Empty default case in @jump switch does not fallthrough #2147.
• &&& was accidentally available as a valid prefix operator.
• Missing error on default values for body with default arguments #2148.
• --path does not interact correctly with relative path arguments #2149.
• Add missing @noreturn to os::exit.
• Implicit casting from struct to interface failure for inheriting interfaces #2151.
• Distinct types could not be used with tagof #2152.
• $$sat_mul was missing.
• for with incorrect var declaration caused crash #2154.
• Check pointer/slice/etc on [out] and & params. #2156.
• Compiler didn't check foreach over flexible array member, and folding a flexible array member was allowed #2164.
• Too strict project view #2163.
• Bug using #foo arguments with $defined #2173
• Incorrect ensure on String.split.
• Removed the naive check for compile time modification, which fixes #1997 but regresses in detection.

Stdlib changes

• Added String.quick_ztr and String.is_zstr
• std::ascii moved into std::core::ascii. Old _m variants are deprecated, as is uint methods.
• Add String.tokenize_all to replace the now deprecated String.splitter
• Add String.count to count the number of instances of a string.
• Add String.replace and String.treplace to replace substrings within a string.
• Add Duration * Int and Clock - Clock overload.
• Add DateTime + Duration overloads.
• Add Maybe.equals and respective == operator when the inner type is equatable.
• Add inherit_stdio option to SubProcessOptions to inherit parent's stdin, stdout, and stderr instead of creating pipes. #2012
• Remove superfluous cleanup parameter in os::exit and os::fastexit.
• Add extern fn ioctl(CInt fd, ulong request, ...) binding to libc;
