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
