LibAppend.lua.changelog

This is a changelog for this program: https://pastebin.com/Rac6Jxjg

2025/01/08:
• Added documentation for the update I made on 2024/05/14 since I forgot to add
  it then. I forgot I made that update and I genuinely could not remember what
  that code was for until I looked back at the changelog.

2024/06/06:
• Added expect.range to 'tobase' to ensure that the base is between 2 and 36;
  this was not being checked before.

2024/05/14:
• doubleBuffer: Pass windows as additional arguments to a new buffer to assign
  the buffer as the parent of those windows.
  • 'swap' will automatically reassign the parent of the windows to the next
    buffer.
  • 'reset' will automatically reassign the parent of the windows to the parent
    of the buffer.

2023/12/01:
• Added 'table.swap' to make it easier to swap the values of two elements in a
  table. This accepts both numbers and strings as keys.
• Added 'table.shift' to make it easier to move elements up and down in a table.
  This is ideal for ordered lists with index numbers as keys. This will NOT
  work for elements with strings as keys.

2023/09/11:
• Reimplemented 'AND(val, ...)' to check if multiple variables are equal to a
  value.

2023/09/05:
• doubleBuffer.new() now takes a 'parent' argument so the double buffer can be
  used on a specified terminal object instead of being restricted to
  'term.current()'.
• Also changed the if statment in the 'swap' function to some simple math.

2023/07/10:
• Removed 'math.rpow'. I added this function in the 2023/02/08 update. This
  function worked by doing 'math.log(number) / math.log(base)'. What I didn't
  realize is that math.log already does what math.rpow did,
  'math.log(16, 2) = 4'.
• The only reason I made math.rpow is because that function was the only answer
  I was given when scouring the internet because my knowledge of math isn't the
  best. Now that I know math.log already does the exact same thing, math.rpow is
  no longer needed.
• Swapped various 'error' functions with 'expect.expect'.

2023/07/09:
• Made 'require' usable even if a file is loaded with 'dofile'.
• Made a global 'expect' for the expect module.

2023/07/08:
• Removed the textutils.serialize rewrite due to it causing stack overflows when
  a table references itself or its parent table.

2023/07/04:
• 'bugCheck' now returns to the previous cursor position after it runs.

2023/05/08:
• Slightly reworded the comments above the vector API.
• Moved this changelog to its own file.

2023/04/19:
• 'vector2' has been removed and the vector API has been rewritten to include
  2D vectors and 4D vectors.
• 'vector.new()' is a one stop shop for 2D, 3D and 4D vectors.
• Pass 2, 3 or 4 arguments respectively and a vector of the correct size will be
  automatically created.
• 'w' is the name for the 4th dimension.
• Error messages will be thrown when invalid values have been passed to vector
  functions, making it a lot easier to debug programs.
• Instruction at the top saying to use 'require' has been changed to 'dofile'.

2023/03/28:
• textutils.serialize
  • changed 'removePointers' to 'addPointers' so that the function can be used
    like normal without additional arguments.
  • Fixed strings not being serialized correctly.

2023/03/26:
• Added term.printBlit.

2023/03/14:
• Added a 'wait' function, which does the same thing as 'sleep' but it uses
  tickrates instead of time. See the comments above for how to use it.
• Added 'doubleBuffer' which creates double frame buffers.

2023/03/05:
• Fixed vector2.cross returning vector.new instead of vector2.new.
• Added errors messages to vector2 methods for easier debugging.

2023/02/23:
• Simplified the code for math.round().
• Added a fix for textutils.serialize() that makes it easier to serialize
  tables.
  See the comments above the function.
• Renamed Vector2 to vector2 which now mimics exactly what vector does.
• Just like vector, you must call vector2.new() to create a new 2D vector.
• Reformatted the changelog so it's a bit cleaner than before.

2023/02/20:
• Changed bugCheck(). Instead of waiting for a time, it waits for a key press.
• Removed argument 't' from bugCheck().

2023/02/08:
• Added colors.name and colours.name to get the name of a color, similar to
  keys.getName returning the name of a key.
• Added math.rpow to reverse calculate an exponent, not to be confused with
  getting the nth root. Example: 2^4 -> 16, math.rpow(16, 2) -> 4.
• Added string.pad to use arguments to easily add padding to a string instead of
  using weird c string formatting.
• Added tobase as an antithesis to tonumber. Converts a number to a base instead
  of converting a base to a number.
• Added OR to do multiple 'or' comparisons with a single variable.
• Added isBetween to check if a number is between two numbers exclusive. Use a
  boolean as the optional fourth argument to check if the number is between two
  numbers inclusive.
