Agena

Agena is an easy-to-learn procedural programming language suited to be used in scientific, educational, linguistic, and many other applications, including scripting.

• The new `++` and `--` suffix operators return the current value of a variable and then increase or decrease the variable by one:
• > c := 0;
• > a := c++;
• > print(a, c); -> 0, 1
• To new functions: `bytes.tolittle` converts a number into its Little Endian, and `bytes.tobig` into its Big Endian representation.
• Some few non-functional changes to clear internal buffers in some functions before they issue errors.
• Documented the formerly undocumented function `bytes.bcd`.
• With numbers, `arcsinh` has become 2 % faster and `arccosh` 15 % faster. `stats.countentries` have become 2.5 % faster, `stats.extrema` 8 %, and `stats.peaks` 9 % faster.
• Tuned `bytes.tobytes`. On Big Endian systems, it has also been fixed.
• The new function `cordic.cmul` multiplies two numbers.
• The new C API function `luaL_clearbuffer` clears the luaL_Buffer but does not push anything onto the stack.
