Rasm v3.2.7 - Atlas

Thanks to Frank and Mathias for their merge requests

• Added cross-platform path handling (Linux include becomes case insensitive like Windows)
• Added $$ symbol acting like real output address (cons to $ which is logical address)
• Added RELOCATE_START/RELOCATE_END_RELOCATE_TABLE like Winape things
• Added EXTENDED flag to LIMIT to allow breaking 64K barrier without crunch segment
• Trigger an error when trying to use PAGE/PAGESET in cartridge mode
• honour LOCALISATION inside a numbered BANK in cartridge mode

Rasm 3.2.6 - Atlas

• overall improvement in performance through the processing of labels and macros
• macro now support multi-arg and default substitution => see http://rasm.wikidot.com/keywords:macros
• better error message with wrong BUILDCPR usage, small modifications in log output when writing chunks

Rasm 3.2.5 - Atlas

• trigger an error if the relative offset with IX/IY adressing is out of -128/127 interval, instead of classic warning for data
• ability to use tags in variables/labels with directives IFUSED/IFNUSED/IFDEF/IFNDEF
• better conditional flow control (no more multiple ELSE)
• bugfix textbook cases with conditional directives

Rasm 3.2.4 - Atlas

• longer label in REMU chunks for upcoming version of ACE-DL
• non blocking error messages when loading EDSK in embedded mode
• EDSK SAVEFILE with new RAW option
• EDSK PUTFILE with optional HEADER creation

• bugfix lower ROM localisation at ACE export
• minor version release on the occasion of ACE-DL emulator release
• new command line option -rasm in order to produce super symbol file for ACE-DL Emulator
• new directive EDSK to build, merge, manage, edit and assemble inside
