In this release:

== Additions ==

* Added method overloading:
    def count(s as String)
        pass
    def count(tr as TextReader)
        pass

* Added variable number of arguments with the new `vari` keyword:
    def sumInts(stuff as vari int) as int
        sum = 0
        for x as int in stuff
            sum += x
        return sum

    def allTrue(stuff as vari object) as bool
        for x as Object in stuff
            if not x
                return false
        return true

* Added `use` directive (like C#'s `using` and analagous to Python's `import`):
    use System.Net

* Added a new program in Examples, download.cobra.

* Added a new program in Examples, wordcount.cobra.

* Expanded type inference to work for indexer expressions:
    s = listOfStrings[i]

* Enabled references to `System` in expressions such as `System.Console.out`. 
  These are not strictly needed since Cobra programs use System by default, but 
  it's provided for completeness.


== Changes ==

* Set the type of CobraCore.commandLineArgs to List(of string)

* Example programs are now compiled "out of the box".


== Fixes ==

* Improved forward references in code to include classes not declared yet.

* Fixed bugs with some list and dictionary literals.

* Fixed a bug with the `false` literal.

* Fixed a bug with the evaluation of truthfulness.

* Fixed a tokenizing/parsing bug in indexer expressions.

* Fixed a bug with certain call expressions.

* Fixed a bug when returning `this`.

* Fixed a bug where '\r' could not be used in string literals.
