Release of Gambas 3.22

[Benoît Minisini <benoit.minisini@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Gambas 3.22.0 is now officially released!

Among the hundreds of fixes and enhancements, the main features of this 
release are the following:

In the development environment:

- A project can now include database templates, stored inside the 
project, without having to rely on an actual external database connection.

- Many enhancements in the image editor and the shape management tab.

- Add an optional left vertical toolbar that can contain workspace 
buttons, and so that can indirectly save vertical space.

- Optimize how the project tree is refreshed when filters are used.

- A project can be opened in read-only mode, and this is remembered by 
the recently opened projects list.

In the core language:

- Add an optional two-pass compilation option. It allows to detect 
unknown method or property calls, and to check the number of arguments 
passed to a function call.

- Add support for named enumerations.

- Libraries are now installed and loaded with a minimum version and a 
maximum version compatibility.

- The Mod and Div operators now accept floating point values.

- Add '>>>', '>>', '<<', '>>>=', '>>=' and '<<=' Javascript-like operators.

- 'Array.Sorted' is a new property that tells the interpreter than an 
array is sorted.

- 'Array.Pull()' is a new method that searches for an element is an 
array, and remove the first one that match, or all of theme.

- 'Application.Busy' is automatically reset when we are returning back 
to the event loop.

Otherwise:

- Many important fixes in the 'gb.db2' component, and support for 
foreign keys.

- The MaskBox control has been reworked for more reliability.

- Many enhancements to the 'TextEditor' control.

- The 'Toolbar' control now supports vertical layout.

- A new icon theme named "gambas-glass".

- New HTTP verbs are supported by the 'HttpClient' class.

- Many enhancements to the gb.openssl component.

- 'Key.Send()' is a new method that sends a fake key event to the 
current active control.

- Many enhancements to the 'gb.web.gui' component.
