 - Compiler assertion when defining a function with return type untyped_list #2368.
 - Compiler assert when using generic parameters list without any parameters. #2369
 - Parsing difference between "0x00." and "0X00." literals #2371
+- Fixed bug generating `$c += 1` when `$c` was derived from a pointer but behind a cast.
 
 ### Stdlib changes
 - Add `==` to `Pair`, `Triple` and TzDateTime. Add print to `Pair` and `Triple`.
