24 bit color support (new for version 2.3.1)
============================================

  The SLtt interface has been modified to support 24 bit (true)
  colors.  Until the next major release (version 3), this feature is
  available for 64 bit Unix/VMS systems to keep binary compatibility.
  Support for 32 bit systems will be added in version 3.

  Since not all terminals support true color, and it is not supported
  by terminfo, 24 bit color is disabled by default.  A list of
  terminals that support true color may be found at
  <https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728>.

  To indicate that a terminal supports true color, set the value of
  the environment variable COLORTERM to either "24bit" or "truecolor",
  e.g.,

      export COLORTERM=truecolor

  Then to use 24 bit color in applications such as jed and slrn, use a
  24bit RGB value in the form "#RRGGBB" as the name of the color.
  For example, to set the color of the status line in jed to AliceBlue
  (#F0F8FF) on a SlateGray (#708090) background, use

      set_color ("status", "#F0F8FF", "#708090");

  in the .jedrc file.  In slrn, to set the color of the author name to
  the above colors use

      color author "#F0F8FF" "#708090"

  in the .slrnrc file.  Also note other character attributes may be
  specified, e.g., "#F0F8FF;italics;underline".

New Modules
===========

   1. base64: A base64 encoder/decoder module
   2. chksum: A module for computing various checksums (currently md5
      and sha1)
   3. stats: A statistics module
   4. histogram: A histogram module
   5. json: Encode/decode json structures

Module Updates
==============

   stats-module: Added Anderson-Darling normality and
   k-sample tests (version 2.3.1)

Intrinsic Functions
===================

   The following intrinsic functions have been added for 2.3.x:

     sincos : returns both sin and cos in one function call

     get/setitimer: get/set an interval timer

     wherefirstmin/max, wherelastmin/max: returns index for first/last
       min/max values of an array

     wherefirst_eq/ne/gt/lt/ge/le, where_last_eq/ne/gt/lt/ge/le:
     returns first/last index of an array where the array value is
     eq/ne/gt/lt/ge/le of a specified value. (version 2.3.1)

     wherediff: returns indices where adjacient elements of an array
       differ.

     bstrjoin, bstrcat: like strjoin/strcat but for binary strings.

     get_environ: returns an array of currently defined environment variables.

     getrusage: Get resource usage

     lchown: Change ownership of a symbolic link

     get/set_printable_bstring_size: Get/set the length of the
     printable representation of binary strings. (version 2.3.1)

     statvfs: Intrinsic that wraps statvfs POSIX function that returns
     file system statistics. (version 2.3.1)

     _ftime:  returns the number of (wallclock) seconds since an epoch
     (version 2.3.1)

     wchars_to_string/string_to_wchars: Convert a UTF-8 encoded string
     to and from an array of Unicode characters. (version 2.3.1)

     _array_byteswap: used to convert the values of an array from one
     endianness to another (version 2.3.2)

   The following functions have been enhanced:

     array_map modified to support multiple return values.

     is_substrbytes: Added support for an optional offset into the
       string.

     _push_struct_field_values: An optional argument may be used to
     specify the fields to be pushed. (version 2.3.1)

Interpreter Syntax
==================

   The step parameter was made optional for the _for statement.

   Struct field names may be an arbitrary string:

         X = struct {"some-field", some_other_field };
         X.some_other_field = 3;
         X."some-field" = 4;

   String literals now support \uABCD to specify a 32 bit unicode
   character.  Previously, the braces were required (\u{ABCD}).
   (version 2.3.1)

   A reserved word may be used for a struct fiel
