Version 2.1.8

Raspberry Pi support!

This release includes built binaries for the Raspberry Pi. You can now write code with Roo on this fantastic little computer. The only dependency is libunwind8. Install that with the following command:

sudo apt-get install libunwind8

Bug fixes

• Text.swapcase now correctly returns the swapped case value, rather than the original value
• The RegexResult and MatchInfo objects now correctly report their names when printed
• If the absolute value of the specified position is greater than the length of the Text object with Text.slice(position) then Nothing is returned (rather than an empty Text object)
• Whenever Text.slice!() returns Nothing, the original Text object is now left unchanged
