Feature release 3.0-beta1

The first (beta) release of the new cQASM language.

Main changes with respect to previous cQASM versions are:

• Case sensitive syntax
• Decoupled qubit and bit registers
• Qubit and bit register variable declarations
• q and b are no longer reserved characters
• Assignment of measurement outcomes to bit variables
• No component (e.g. translator/compiler/simulator) specific directives (for now)
• Single-line comments through double-slash notation (//), instead of the hashtag notation (#)

For a full description of the new language we refer to its online specification.

Note: that this version of cQASM is not backwards compatible with previous versions of the language.
