v1.0.4

New Features

• Rename cobc, the compile command, to cobj.
• -fserial-variable option
  • Java variable naming rule has been changed. Starting from v1.0.4, variable names are f_{COBOL variable name} or b_{COBOL variable name} by default. With -fvar-number option, Java variable names are set to f_{serial number}. This new option preserves the old naming rule and prevents javac errors in case COBOL variable names contains illegal characters for Java, for example Japanese DBCS characters.
• Improve the performance of control statements.
