PawnPlus v0.7

• Variants can store 2D and 3D arrays now. Many variant functions were updated to work with a variable number of indices.
• amx_fork can specify 3 levels of forking (exec, data, script).
• Native hooks are called filters now, both functions merged to pawn_native_filter.
• Obtaining the tag of a variant can be done via var_tag_uid, removing the need to use tagof.
• Optional syntax features are now disabled by default. Define PP_SYNTAX to restore them.
• Compatible with YSI by default.

PawnPlus v0.6

• Added various *_clone functions for deep-cloning objects.
• Memory leak fixes related to objects and threads.
• Massive infrastructure change in the various components of the plugin, leading to more manageable and safe code.
• Changes to the tasks API, its garbage collection and adding task_delete, task_valid, task_completed, task_keep, task_reset, task_any, and task_all.
• Time-based tasks are stored in a list ordered by the time, making the server more efficient in case of a larger number of active timers.
• Numerous functions related to AMX machines like forking, remote access to variables etc. Usable in other systems like tasks and threading.

PawnPlus v0.5

• Added a couple of functions related to tags (name, unique id, inheritance).
• New functions to construct lists and maps from arguments or array of elements.
• pawn_call_native doesn't require the function to be used in the script.
• list_delete_deep and map_delete_deep - deletes their contents too (inner maps, lists, variants, strings).
• New technique called guards - automatically freeing an object (list/map) when out of scope.
• Hooking natives. Pre-hooks and post-hooks only (not recursive). Modifying parameters or the return value is possible.
• str_split and str_join.
• Lots of sanity checks for strings, variants, lists, and maps for invalid pointers.
• Naming changes - *_is_valid is now *_valid. Iterator functions renamed to list_iter_valid and map_iter_valid.
• Several pp_ debugging functions for retrieving sizes of various pools (strings, lists etc.) Useful for debugging memory leaks.

PawnPlus v0.4

• Added dynamic containers: variants, lists, and maps. Can be used to store a value of any tag, or limited to a single tag in a generic fashion.
• Introduced customisable meta-tag AnyTag, matching a value of an arbitrary tag.
• Added pawn_call_public and extended pawn_call_native with new specifiers for lists, variants, and strings.

PawnPlus v0.3

• More sanity checks related to threads and pausing functions. Many of them no longer rely on the context.
• Fixed a stability issue related to awaiting a task in a continuation.

PawnPlus v0.3-pre3

Synchronising behaviour for threads can be set in thread_detach (or threaded), replacing the original bool parameter:

• sync_explicit: native functions are executed in the new thread and all callbacks have to wait until either the thread ends or thread_sync is called.
• sync_auto: the same applies, but every native function is executed synchronously with the main thread. Callbacks go through when this happens.
• sync_interrupt: if any callback is to be executed, the thread is paused and waits until the callback finishes (dangerous).

Note that interrupting functions which have side effects can cause race conditions, or worse freeze the server.

Threads can be created now from a task continuation. However, the two systems still aren't compatible (and they aren't going to be).

Debugging or otherwise useful functions like thread_sleep and thread_id were implemented.

PawnPlus v0.3-pre2

• Threaded blocks should now work properly.
• Added thread_sync to execute pending calls to the AMX machine (the thread is not yet paused).
• threaded() pseudo-statement for automatic calls to thread_detach/thread_attach.

PawnPlus v0.3-pre1

Use thread_detach(); to start executing code in a separate thread (parallel to the SA-MP server). Use thread_attach(); to revert.

By default, calls to any natives will happen synchronously. Use thread_detach(false); to disable this behaviour (faster code but possible race conditions).

PawnPlus v0.2

• Added functions like str_buf_addr and str_new_buf to allow using dynamic strings as output buffers to functions like GetPlayerName.
• String arguments in native variadic functions are no longer checked by default for performance reasons. Use pp_hook_check_ref_args to enable it.
• Implemented str_format supporting full range of standard format specifiers, and %S, %Q, and %o in addition.
• str_set_format can be used to set the output string instead of creating a new one.
• str_equal complementary to str_cmp (used directly by ==).
• Various other bugfixes and improvements.

PawnPlus v0.1.2

• Changed the definitions for await and async to remove the need to use parentheses in a statement-like syntax.
• Fixed indeterminate values in new task instances.
