[Fix] (Mac) Control captions: now respect the encoding of the caption

BevelButtons).
So this means we can now use non-ASCII characters? (I have no idea
if you could before, BTW)
Yes, this should now work fine on OS X. Classic MacOS support for
this won't appear till the next alpha (and even then it'll only work
for the set of characters which are supported by the system encoding).
[Opt] (Mac) New compiler: now "bakes in" string literals like the old
compiler did, instead of reconstructing them at runtime;
this is faster
I'm not quite sure what this means, but it's probably good!
Let me take a stab - it keeps a fully-built string object for string
literals in the application, rather than just the string literal
itself that it builds a string object around. Is this right, or just
a totally wild guess?
That's right.
[New] (Mac) Uppercase, Lowercase, TitleCase, Trim, RTrim, LTrim,
Replace, ReplaceAll: now encoding-savvy and in particular,
work correctly for UTF-8 and UTF-16. (UCS-4 support is
still weak.)
Yay
This one should have been marked (Car) -- doesn't currently work in
classic builds.
Well, this looks like a very great release! Keep up the excellent work!
Thanks for the feedback!
Cheers,
- Joe
