RELEASE-NOTES for Qore 0.7.5

release summary: 4 bug fixes and minor new features over 0.7.4

• BUG FIX: Datasource::close() would assert() in debug mode and do nothing in non-debug mode
• BUG FIX: fixed a deadlock in running class destructor code when a member is deleted that is itself an object, and that object's destructor references the parent object
• BUG FIX: fixed a bug in the "qore" binary reporting the library's latest module API version (was using the compiled value and not the value from the library)
• BUG FIX: fixed a bug in the HTTPClient class where the connection was not flagged as closed when an error occurred that indicated that the client had closed the connection
• added a ModuleDir key to the hash output of get_qore_library_info()
• added an optional port number to datasources (i.e.: driver:user/pass@db(encoding)%host:port, updated:

•    Datasource::constructor(): added support for a port argument
•    Datasource::setPort(): new method
•    Datasource::getPort(): new method
•    DatasourcePool::constructor(): added support for a port argument
•    DatasourcePool::getPort(): new method
•    parseDatasource(): modified to parse the port if present

• updated module API to 0.7 supporting DBI drivers with port as a configuration option
• updated the %include directive to always search the directory of the currently-executing script first if known when looking for files without an absolute path
• added the C++ API function QoreObject::externalDelete() to handle the situation when object private data is deleted externally (needed by the QT modules)
• improved error messages in the scanner when trying to %include something that's not a regular file
