Changes in the new GameMaker: Studio bytecode format (0x0F)

An implementation can be found here.
New ReferenceDef format

NOTE: Builds on Mirrawrs' documentation/this page on the Acolyte wiki and my correction/completion.

VariableDefinition (array in the VARI chunk, read to end)

uint NameOffset;
uint _pad0; // unknown, some flags?
uint _pad1; // unknown
uint Occurrences;
uint FirstAddress; // probably
FUNC : ListChunk<FunctionDefinition>

//NOTE: The lenght of the array is included in the chunk.
uint NameOffset;
uint Occurrences;
uint FirstAddress;
New CodeEntry format

CODE : ListChunk<CodeEntry>

uint Name;
uint Length;
uint Unknown; // seems to be '1' (always)
int BytecodeOffset; // offset to the code's bytecode, RELATIVE TO THIS VALUE (i.e. reinterpret_cast<byte*>(&codeEntry->BytecodeOffset) + codeEntry->BytecodeOffset)
uint Unknown; // seems to be '0' (always)
New Bytecode format

ComparisonType

The ComparisonType is the third byte of a DoubleTypeInstruction, only used when the OpCode is Cmp.
LowerThan   = 1, // <
LTOrEqual   = 2, // <=
Equality    = 3, // ==
Inequality  = 4, // !=
GTOrEqual   = 5, // >=
GreaterThan = 6  // >
