 ===Bug fixes===
 * compiler: Fixed multiple bugs related to non-conforming inheritance, making the latter usable in production code:
 ** test#noncon006 — inheritance from a frozen class triggers an error only when the corresponding parent is conforming;

@@ Line 76: / Line 76: @@
 * compiler: Changed the semantics of non-conforming inheritance by removing automatic replication of inherited features.
 * library (base): Replaced conforming inheritance with non-conforming one where possible and appropriate.
 * compiler: test#attach130 — Added a validity check that the type of an inspect expression is attached when compiled in void-safe mode.
 * compiler: Changed the defaults for the iteration loop syntax in newly created projects to access the current item by the cursor name.

 * compiler: Fixed a bug that in rare cases could lead to a crash or incorrect binaries when generating code for .NET.
 * compiler: Fixed a bug that caused incorrect .NET code generation for a non-object call on an expanded base class.
 * compiler: bug#15451 (test#attach055) — Fixed a bug that caused the compiler to report a non-existent <code>VEVI</code> error for the feature <e>default</e> when a reference class inherits from an expanded one.
 * compiler (code analyzer): test#codeanalysis033 — Avoided false positives for unreachable code after a conditional instruction when only one branch of the instruction makes the successive code unreachable.

 * EiffelStudio: Migrated to GTK3 on non-Windows platforms (Linux, macOS, etc.).
 * EiffelStudio: Used user-controlled editor font in several tools.
 * compiler (pretty-printer): Taken any (Unicode) white-space characters into account when pretty-printing, not just a space character and a horizontal tabulation.
 * compiler (pretty-printer): test#pretty015, test#pretty028 — Added a preference to control pretty printing of unindented comments (often used for commenting out code). Such comments can keep the (absent) indentation (the default) or be indented using the general rules.
