Changes / improvements

• Removed support for LLVM 17, 18.
• Detect large temporaries when creating slices on the stack #2665
• Search for the linker in PATH; use the builtin linker if CC missing. #2906
• constdef inference through binary expressions: Foo f = Foo.AUDIO | Foo.VIDEO can be written Foo f = AUDIO | VIDEO;
• Fix for LLVM 22+ compatibility #2987
• @weaklink for just affecting linkage.
• Add a fully static build of c3c for Linux. #2949
• @weak now allows direct overriding of @weak definitions with a real definition.
• Unified SDK fetching under c3c fetch-sdk <target> (windows, android) and added support for automatic Android NDK (r29) download. Better progress bar. #3019
• Improved Linux backtrace readability by stripping internal panic and runtime startup frames. #3008
• Added repetition compression for deep recursive stacks in backtraces. #3008
• Added new builtins: $$acos, $$asin, $$atan, $$cosh, $$exp10, $$sinh, $$tan and $$tanh.
• Added the rest of the xoshiro and xoroshiro PRNG variants. #3027
• Improve error when using keyword as identifier #3066
• Warn when using $$builtin functions outside of the stdlib #3065
• Zero element enums now disallowed.

Stdlib changes

• Add contract on any_to_enum_ordinal and any_to_int to improve error when passed an empty any. #2977
• Add hash method for ZStrings. #2982
• Added json serialization from structs.
• Add keccak and Keccak-based hash functions: sha3, shake, cshake, kmac, turboshake, tuplehash, and parallelhash. #2728
• Added fault.short_name and fault.@short_name to get just the fault name for both run and compile time. #3002
• Compiler runtime functions extracted outside of std.
• Add the GZIP file format (RFC 1952).
• Add file::last_modified.
• Make DateTime and DateTimeTz Printable.
• Add to_format functionality for DateTime.
• SubProcess/process::create/process::execute_stdout_to_buffer deprecated, replaced by Process/process:spawn/process::run_capture_stdout.
• Add support for AES-encrypted Zip files (AE-1 and AE-2 formats).
• Add Argon2 memory-hard hashing with associated tests. #2773
• Matrix type is now column major.
• Fix matrix perspective and ortho, project and unproject to be RH [0,1]
• Add vec3 methods: rejection, project, implement unproject.
• Add vector function cubic_hermite
• Deprecated sq_magnitude, barycenter, towards, ortho_normalize, clamp_mag, use length_sq, barycentric, move_towards, orthonormalize, clamp_length instead.
• Add Quaternion conversion functions to from Euler angles and axis+angle.
• math::deg_to_rad and math::rad_to_deg respects the underlying type, returning float on a float argument.
• Added float.to_radians and float.to_degrees and the same for double.
• Added Quat, Mat2, Mat3 and Mat4, Vec2, Vec3, Vec4 aliases.
• Added is_normalized to Quaternion and floating point vectors.
• Added quaternion::from_rotation and quaternion::from_normalized_rotation
• Added Rect type.
• Added matrix::frustum.
• Added math::@abs for compile time abs.
• Make Errno a constdef containing all definitions. Deprecated libc::errno constants.
• random::seeder no longer uses temp memory.
• Add simple member-wise struct comparison with member_eq. #2801
• std::core::mem::allocator deprecated and split into std::core::mem::allocators containing allocators and std::core::mem::alloc for various allocation methods.
• Add always_assert builtin macro.
• Add an entropy module to generate cryptographically-secure random bytes. #3022
• Add a builtin TIMEOUT fault definition. #3022
• Base32, Base64, Hex and Codepage encoding deprecates encode_buffer and decode_buffer. Those are replaced by encode_into and decode_into with dst being the first argument. #3055
• hex::encode_bytes and hex::decode_bytes are deprecated in favour of hex::encode_bytes_into and hex::decode_bytes_into which has dst the first argument. #3055
• Deprecation of @unaligned_load and @unaligned_store. Use mem::load and mem::store instead.
