   - nekoc : stack align error message
   - set max-stack-per-function to 128 and default-stack-size to 256
   - jit now check stack overflow on function entry and not on every push
   - mod_neko2 set MOD_NEKO=2 env var (for version detection)
   - mod_neko2 : remove Apache 2.0 error message,
                 use 302 http code for redirect
   - fixed fallback of interp operator overloading
   - fix for 64-bit CPU
   - minor optimization for [0] jit array access
   - gnuk/freebsd support
   - fixed thread messages on Windows (do not use system queue)
   - thread_current returns unique value
   - remove kind_import, kind_export, added kind_share
   - added ui library
   - added libs/std/process api functions
