 - `a++` may be discarded if `a` is optional and ++/-- works for overloaded operators.
 - Improve support for Windows cross compilation on targets with case sensitive file systems.
 - Add "sources" support to library `manifest.json`, defaults to root folder if unspecified.
+- Add char_at method in DString and operators [], len, []= and &[].
 
 ### Fixes
 - Fix bug where `a > 0 ? f() : g()` could cause a compiler crash if both returned `void!`.
