    have been added to chkstr.sd7.
- Errors in getGidFromGroup() and getUidFromUser() have been fixed
    in the file cmd_unx.c.
- In literal.c the error message for empty char literals has been
    improved.
- The number of C compiler warnings has been reduced in sql_oci.c,
    drw_win.c and int_rtl.c.
- In drw_drv.h, drw_dos.c, drw_emc.c, drw_win.c, drw_x11.c, s7.c,
    s7c.sd7 and comp/drw_act.s7i, the graphics support has been
    changed to call drawInit() at program start.
- The function drawInit() has been added to drw_dos.c and
    drw_emc.c.

    numeric result could be obtained. This is necessary for the
    program to work reliable under Windows with certain virus
    detection software.
- Documentation comments have been improved in color.s7i.


Changelog of the previous release (2022-04-10):
- In time.s7i, the function time(string) has been improved to
    consider the daylight saving time. Many thanks to Anders
    Carstensen for pointing out the problem and for providing a test
    program.
- Explanations of the times operator and the functions bytes(),
    bytes2Int(), bytes2BigInt(), expm1(), log1p(), ignore() and
    openServerTls() have been added to the manual.

    requested length of Lempel Ziv Welch compressed data is computed
    correctly.
- In jpeg.s7i, reading of JPEG files has been improved to use the
    component ID. Now, a hash from component ID to component type is
    used. The old code assumed that component ID and component type
    would be equal, and it raised RANGE_ERROR when this was not the
    case.
- In bitdata.s7i, the performance of the functions getBit() and
    getBits() with a msbBitStream has been improved.
- In array.s7i, the times operator has been improved to work with
    [A len L] times element.

    syntax.s7i.
- In x509cert.s7i reading and validating certificates has been
    improved. Now, there is partial support for PKCS #7 certificates.
- The libraries tls.s7i and showtls.s7i have been improved to
    support TLS certificate_request, client_certificate and
    certificate_verify messages.

    have been improved to set the EOF indicator instead of raising
    FILE_ERROR if the peer has crashed.
- In soc_rtl.c, the function logError() will now be called if
    recv() fails.
- In chkccomp.c, the function determineInformixDefines has been
    improved to avoid the definition of an empty C array.
- The makefile mk_msvc.mak has been changed to define
    LIMITED_CSTRI_LITERAL_LEN. This avoids that the C compiler runs
    out of heap space.
- Documentation comments have been updated in graph.s7i, tls.s7i,
    x509cert.s7i, ar.s7i, cpio.s7i, rpm.s7i, tar.s7i and zip.s7i.

    other. The actions DRW_CONVPOINTLIST, DRW_FPOLYLINE,
    DRW_GENPOINTLIST, DRW_GETIMAGEPIXEL, DRW_GETPIXEL, DRW_PIXELTORGB,
    DRW_POLYLINE, DRW_SETCLOSEACTION, DRW_SETCONTENT,

    The function openStriFile() should be used instead.
- The files htmldom.s7i, rpm.s7i, xmldom.s7i and chkbitdata.sd7 have
    been altered to use openStriFile() instead of the deprecated
    openStrifile().
- In stritext.s7i the function openStritext() is deprecated.
    The function openStriText() should be used instead.
- A syntax error in the library stritext.s7i has been fixed.
- In echo.s7i, dir.s7i, pixmap_file.s7i and shell.s7i internal
    identifiers have been renamed to use camel case.
- Interpreter and compiler have been improved to support the actions
    BLN_SUCC and BLN_PRED. Changes have been done in boolean.s7i,
    blnlib.c, blnlib.h, primitiv.c, comp/bln_act.s7i and
    comp/action.s7i.
- Interpreter and compiler have been improved to support the action
    SET_DIFF_ASSIGN. Changes have been done in bitset.s7i,
    bitsetof.s7i, set_rtl.c, set_rtl.h, setlib.c, setlib.h, primitiv.c,
    comp/set_act.s7i and comp/action.s7i.
- In interpreter and compiler the actions BLN_ICONV1 and BLN_ICONV3
    have been improved to raise RANGE_ERROR if the value is not 0 or 1.
- The interpreter has been improved (in s7.c) to write an error
    message if the declaration of main() is missing.
- The graphic keyboard drivers in drw_win.c, gkb_win.c and gkb_x11.c
    have been improved. Minimizing, maximizing and restoring a window
    triggers a KEY_RESIZE only when it is necessary. Now it can be
    checked if the mouse forward and back buttons are currently
    pressed. The event tracing in the keyboard drivers has also been
    improved.
- The parameters of the function drwPut() have been altered in
    drw_dos.c, drw_emc.c, drw_win.c, drw_x11.c, drw_drv.h, drwlib.c
    and comp/drw_act.s7i.
- The code generation for ENU_ICONV2 in the compiler has been
    improved (in comp/enu_act.s7i). Now it is similar to the code
    generated for BLN_ICONV1 and BLN_ICONV3.
- The error logging in exec.c has been improved.
- Several makefiles have been improved such that 'sudo make install'
    succeeds for an existing installation.
- In blnlib.c the functions bln_pred() and bln_succ() have been
    added and the functions bln_iconv1() and bln_iconv3() have been
    adjusted. Now these functions raise RANGE_ERROR if the resulting
    value would not be TRUE or FALSE.
- The function setDiffAssign() has been added to set_rtl.c.
- In tim_win.c the function alternate_utime() has been improved to
    work more reliable (this is called by setMTime).
- The function cmdReadlink has been renamed to cmdReadLink. Changes
    have been done in cmdlib.c, cmd_rtl.c, cmd_rtl.h and
    comp/cmd_act.s7i.
- Documentation comments have been added or improved in array.s7i,
    bigint.s7i, bin32.s7i, bin64.s7i, bitset.s7i, bitsetof.s7i,
    bmp.s7i, boolean.s7i, bstring.s7i, category.s7i, char.s7i,
    cpio.s7i, dir.s7i, draw.s7i, echo.s7i, file.s7i, filesys.s7i,
    float.s7i, forloop.s7i, gif.s7i, graph.s7i, graph_file.s7i,
    gzip.s7i, hashsetof.s7i, ico.s7i, integer.s7i, jpeg.s7i,
    keydescr.s7i, line.s7i, logfile.s7i, lzma.s7i, null_file.s7i,
    pixmap_file.s7i, png.s7i, ppm.s7i, progs.s7i, reference.s7i,
    ref_list.s7i, rpm.s7i, shell.s7i, stars.s7i, strifile.s7i,
    string.s7i, stritext.s7i, subfile.s7i, tar.s7i, text.s7i,
    tls.s7i, utf16.s7i, utf8.s7i, xz.s7i, zstd.s7i
    setlib.c and set_rtl.c.
