Bugfixes
--------
- The old GC never collected cycles correctly. Fixed but it can cause
performance regressions. However you can deactivate the cycle collector
with ``GC_disableMarkAndSweep`` and run it explicitly at an appropriate time
or not at all. There is also a new GC you can activate
with ``--gc:markAndSweep`` which does not have this problem but is slower in
general.

default GC. Enable with ``--gc:markAndSweep``.
