Change Log for the BPjs Library.

2023-09

• ✨ EventSets now have an except method, that allows removal of events from the set. e.g. allMotionEvents.except(moveDownEvent). (#218)
• ⬆️ Improved error messages when composing event sets.

2023-08

• 〽️ BPjsCodeEvaluationException is now have one general constructor for all rhino exception(#200)
• 🐛 BProgramRunnerListenerAdapter is now doing what adapters should do (create empty implementation for abstract classes and interfaces) and does not print on errors anymore. (#119).

2023-06

• ⬆️ Printouts and toStrings of JavaScript compound values (e.g. arrays) adhere to normative JavaScript style. That is, no more [JS_Array 1,2,3], just [1,2,3]. Java objects still retain their J_ prefix.(#213).

2023-05

• ⬆️ Upgraded dependencies.
• ⬆️ MapProxy's seed is now protected, so client code can use it directly (#206).
• ✨ Dedicated exceptions for calling bp.sync and bp.thread outside of a bthread. (#195, #203)
• 〽️ BpLog is now an interface, and it's implementation can be changed by calling BProgram.setLogger. (#208)
• ✨ BPjs' version is now available at runtime, using BPjs.getVersion(). (#136)
• ✨ BPjs' logger is now is now supporting bp.log.error. (#175)
