New build is posted and online docs updated.

Nothing huge in this build, just tons of little enhancements and bug fixes.

One breaking change to be aware of is that we have removed the ability to use a named super on classes. Use of the invokespecial opcode in that case is not allowed by the Android VM. See #1670 for additional discussion.

I also made the compiler a bit more restrictive in that it will now catch call chains like this foo?.bar.baz.

Also note the new classes IntArray and BoolArray. These classes provided optimized low level access to byte[], short[], int[], etc. This has been a much requested feature that lead to lots of people rolling their own.
