v0.5.3

What's Changed

• The project is now split into sub-projects in a workspace. (#68)
• miette is used instead of codespan-reporting for error reporting. (#69)
• Changes to characters and strings (all #69):
  • Characters and strings don't have to be valid Unicode.
  • Strings evaluate to u8[N] const&.
  • Character literals evaluate to u32.
  • Strings are no longer null-terminated by default. A null-terminator can be added with c or C suffixes.
  • Unicode escapes are Rust-style instead of C-style (\u{HHHH...} instead of \uHHHH and \UHHHHHHHH).
  • \cHH is equivalent to \u{HH} (previously \xHH).
  • \xHH (string literals only) inserts the byte 0xHH.
• All zero-sized types can be returned from functions, not just null (64b0405).
• clap is used for the CLI (d3a226c).
  • Emit types are now specified with -e|--emit <type> where <type> is one of:
    • exe
    • lib
    • obj
    • asm
    • llvm
    • bc
    • header
    • header-obj
  • The jit subcommand can now have argv[0] set with -t|--this <name>.
  • Headers are specified with -H instead of -h. -h is used for help.

Not much changed in the language, but a lot has been rewritten since 0.5.2. I also finally updated my computer, so you need glibc 2.35 to run the prebuilds now.
