2020-01-15	stage1: move local native_libc.txt to global	Michael Dusan
	Automatic creation of `native_libc.txt` now occurs only in global cache. Manual creation/placement into local cache is supported. closes #3975
2019-11-02	stage1: add linux XDG Base Directory support	Michael Dusan
	- define zig global cache based on XDG spec: if env XDG_CACHE_HOME { "$XDG_CACHE_HOME/zig" } else { "$HOME/.cache/zig" } - old definition "$HOME/.local/share/zig" is retired - closes #3573
2019-09-26	zig additionally looks for lib/std/std.zig	Andrew Kelley
	previously zig would search up directory parents for lib/zig/std/std.zig. It still does that, but now it also accepts lib/std/std.zig. This will probably be how we start shipping windows .zip files, since the extra directory is pointless. It also means you can run zig binaries from subdirectories of the zig source tree without lib files being installed.

2019-04-16	stage1 is now a hybrid of C++ and Zig	Andrew Kelley
	This modifies the build process of Zig to put all of the source files into libcompiler.a, except main.cpp and userland.cpp. Next, the build process links main.cpp, userland.cpp, and libcompiler.a into zig1. userland.cpp is a shim for functions that will later be replaced with self-hosted implementations. Next, the build process uses zig1 to build src-self-hosted/stage1.zig into libuserland.a, which does not depend on any of the things that are shimmed in userland.cpp, such as translate-c. Finally, the build process re-links main.cpp and libcompiler.a, except with libuserland.a instead of userland.cpp. Now the shims are replaced with .zig code. This provides all of the Zig standard library to the stage1 C++ compiler, and enables us to move certain things to userland, such as translate-c. As a proof of concept I have made the `zig zen` command use text defined in userland. I added `zig translate-c-2` which is a work-in-progress reimplementation of translate-c in userland, which currently calls `std.debug.panic("unimplemented")` and you can see the stack trace makes it all the way back into the C++ main() function (Thanks LemonBoy for improving that!). This could potentially let us move other things into userland, such as hashing algorithms, the entire cache system, .d file parsing, pretty much anything that libuserland.a itself doesn't need to depend on. This can also let us have `zig fmt` in stage1 without the overhead of child process execution, and without the initial compilation delay before it gets cached. See #1964
2019-03-27	fix build on arm64	Shawn Landden

2019-03-11	stage1 caching system: detect problematic mtimes	Andrew Kelley
	closes #2045
2019-03-05	build libunwind.a from source and link it	Andrew Kelley

2019-03-05	dynamic linker path is independent from libc installation	Andrew Kelley

2019-03-02	rename std lib files to new convention	Andrew Kelley

2018-09-17	remove `zig build --init`. add `zig init-lib` and `zig init-exe`	Andrew Kelley
	init-lib creates a working static library with tests, and init-exe creates a working hello world with a `run` target. both now have test coverage with the new "cli tests" file. closes #1035
2018-09-10	stage1 caching: zig no longer uses zig-cache	Andrew Kelley
