    Added support to wxserpent to catch window close and quit events.
    Fixed bug in lib/sched.srp (real-time scheduler)

28-May-15   Roger B. Dannenberg
    Added some new commands to Menus to allow changing them. Also
    made significant changes to programs/mididevice.srp, 
    programs/midi-io.srp, and lib/sched.srp. See 
    programs/mididevice-demo.srp.

11-Feb-15   Roger B. Dannenberg
    Ported to OS X 10.9, Xcode 6, and CMake 3.1. Many minor changes,
    but this release is more about making some working compiled
    downloads for OS X.

21-Apr-14   Roger B. Dannenberg
    Modfied memory allocator to allocate/free large chunks with malloc,
    and set maximum array/dictionary size to 1M. Of course, no real-time
    guarantees when you allocate/free large arrays or cause paging.
    Arrays up to around 8K (and dictionaries up to around 4K) are 
    allocated from Serpent's real-time heap.

9-Feb-14    Roger B. Dannenberg
    Fixed bug in op_member ("in" operator). sched.srp bug fix.

25-Jan-14   Roger B. Dannenberg

    wxserpent controls, see documentation.

    New OSC code, many bug fixes, shiny icons, ...

    Revised installation instructions.

    Fixed some problems with maintaining the stack on procedure calls
    and call-ins from C code.

08-May-13   Roger B. Dannenberg
    Started to release 64-bit versions. This is a major revision, so
    there are mostly separate sources for 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
    Added ZeroMQ messaging primitives.

21-Apr-11   Roger B. Dannenberg
    Added BUGS section below. See logs from SVN for many more changes
    since 2009. I guess I've been ignoring this file rather than
    updating it.

07-Oct-09   Roger B. Dannenberg
    Converted to using CMake

30-Sep-09   Roger B. Dannenberg
    Ported to 10.5, added some support for running as an Application.

    Modified Makefiles to build universal binary for serpent and wxserpent

BUGS:

If load fails from within a function, the stack seems to be corrupted,
causing a crash.
