Only three days after the 0.8 version, I finished the 0.8.1 version. It's a minor version, so there is no big changes to the language. However, I added support for the do while loop in the source code. Another change is that assignment is now returning a value. That allows you to make some code like this one: ```cpp int a = b = 5; b = (a = 4) + 1; ``` This new version includes also some new changes for the optimization engine. I implemented constant propagation and copy propagation for offset assignment. For example: ```cpp a(8) = 4; b = a(8); ``` becomes: ```cpp a(8) = 4; b = 4; ``` And the last change is that the concatenations that are detected to be constant after some optimization are made at compile-time by the optimization engine. This simplify a lot the generated code for source file with a lot of concatenations. The next version (the 0.9) will introduce floating point operations and parameter passing with registers (probably only in 64 bit). It's also possible that I will try to implement a first version of global optimization.
