[Neko] Neko 1.7.0 Released

[Nicolas Cannasse]

Hi list,

I'm please to announce the 1.7.0 release of Neko.

A few bugfixes, a few more apis, and some good optimizations :
   - memory usage should be reduced by 30% (optimized debug infos)
   - cpu usage should be reduced (threaded interp. for Linux/OSX)
   - mod_neko can now be a bit configured within apache conf file
    (more details on this later)
   - a few statistics callbacks has be added in order to measure
    the time spent by different VM callbacks
    (run with neko -stats for an example)

All changes are the following :
   * nekoc : allow binary ast format with -p, don't allow inline nxml
   * std : allow int32_new float parameter
   * vm : reduce debug infos memory size by 16
   * vm : fixed $int in case of overflow
   * regexp : upgraded windows ndll to use pcre 7.3 with utf8 support
   * fixed : math_round(0.5) is now 1
   * fixed : date_set_hour and date_set_day crash with invalid dates
   * fixed : bug in vm/callback.c when stack address is >2GB
   * sockets : added support for socket_poll for Windows
   * sockets : added socket_poll_prepare and socket_poll_events
   * thread : added tls_create, tls_set, tls_get
   * vm : threaded interpreter (gcc only)
   * vm : always use COMPACT_TABLE for objects
   * mod_neko : log some errors into apache log
   * neko+vm : added perf statistics hooks (-stats)
   * mod_neko : scriptable configuration and statistics
   * regexp : allow more than 10 matches
   * std : added process_close
   * vm : added $aconcat
   * nekoc : fixed big arrays declarations
   * std : added sys_is64

Enjoy,
Nicolas
