In this release:

== Additions ==

* Code can now refer to methods, properties, etc. that are declared later in the 
  class. Previously, a declaration had to precede any usage of it.

* Added doc strings for methods, properties, variables, enums, constructors and 
  destructors and the top of a module.
    class Customer
        get totalRevenue as decimal
            """
            Return the total revenue in dollars from this customer across all time.
            """
            total = 0.0
            for payment in .payments
                total += payment.amount
            return total

* Added character literals. They look like strings but are prefixed by `c` as in 
  c'A' and c"\n"

* Finished first example program: sizes.cobra in the Examples subdirectory.


== Fixes ==

* Enhanced if-inherits (or you could say, fixed it) to not only allow invocations 
  on the type, but to recognize the variable of the given type in assignments and 
  passing to arguments.
    if obj inherits Car
        operator.drive(obj)  # drive() is statically typed for a Car
    else if obj inherits Plane
        operator.fly(obj)

* Fixed bug when passing a string-with-substitution to a constructor.
