v1.9

This is the release for version 1.9 of batari Basic.

This release contains the following updates:

• feature: conversion to web assembly (native binaries can still be compiled, if desired)
• feature: PXE kernel added
• feature: "rerand" statement added, to minimally roll the random number generator
• fix: multiplication by constant in wrong position yields wrong result
• fix: allow /**/ and ; comments in data statements

batari Basic binaries are now distributed in web assembly format. If you're on a Unix-like platform, it's recommended to use the package ending in tar.gz, to ensure executable permissions are correct. If your OS platform has the "wasmtime" web assembly runtime prerequisite, you should be able to run batari Basic.

v1.8

This is the release for version 1.8 of batari Basic.

This release contains the following updates:

• feature: enhanced error reporting for when syntax appears correct but a variable/constant/goto-destination wasn't defined.
• feature: add relocateBB and incorporate into workflow, so dpc+ games also produce ace roms, for unocart/pluscart players. (courtesy JetSetilly !)
• fix: issue with sprites occasionally disappearing by moving location of FineAdjustTable (courtesy splendidnut !)
• fix: various C scope issues corrected for building the bB compiler.
• fix: exceeding the maximum ine length (200 characters) with a data statement now produces an error message.
• fix: for...next unreliable when using constant type as end-loop value.
• fix: constants weren't working in scorecolor.
• fix: def command restructured to be more robust, limit raised to 500 defs.

This version marks the "reveng" bB fork being folded into the official release. In addition to historic fixes (mostly documented in the README.txt), the following updates were made:

• The latest release of dasm has been incorporated. (from https://github.com/dasm-assembler/dasm/releases)
• A bug that occured when "noscore" was used with the multisprite kernel is now fixed. (thanks Karl G)
• A "hex" font has been added, for handy debugging. Using this score font will automatically add the 0-9A-F digits to the score.
