1.4 Compatibility with previous versions

This version has numerous bug fixes compared with the previous version. But we also introduced some incompatibilities with older versions. Not just for the fun of it, but to make the compiler more stable, efficient and ANSI compliant.

• short is now equivalent to int (16 bits), it used to be equivalent to char (8 bits)
• the default directory where include, library and documention files are stored is no in /usr/local/share
• char type parameters to vararg functions are casted to int unless explicitly casted, e.g.:
    char a=3; 
    printf ("%d %c\n", a, (char)a);
  will push a as an int and as a char resp.
• option -regextend has been removed
• option -noreparms has been removed
