Sword 0.2.3 — Fold

2026-10-20. A hotfix to Fold for programs that talk to C: strings cross
between the two without each program writing its own conversion.

Standard library

• strings.FromC reads a C string up to its zero, and strings.FromCMax
  also stops at a limit, for a char[N] field the text fills. Both answer with
  a view of the C memory and copy nothing.
• strings.ToC writes a string and its zero into a buffer of the caller's
  for a C function that wants a const char *, and refuses a string holding a
  zero, which C would read as a different, shorter one.

Nothing that compiled before stops compiling.
