PC-BASIC release 15.03.4

This release brings a few bug fixes, notably:

  • Fix crash on reading from KYBD: files.
  • Grammar fixes and improvements to documentation

Starting with this release, packaging for Linux is approached differently. The installation procedure for Windows and OS X users does not change.

On Linux systems of all architectures you should now download the .tgz release, untar and run sudo ./install.sh. The script will install PC-BASIC in /opt/pcbasic/ and create the necessary icons and symlinks to be able to use PC-BASIC from your desktop as well as the command line. Note that the github-generated source code archives at the bottom of the list are not as easy to use as you will need to compile the documentation yourself.

On Debian-based systems such as Ubuntu and Mint, as well as on Fedora, the script will also install the necessary dependencies, which are no longer hard-linked into the package.

In related news, PC-BASIC should now install and run without issues on FreeBSD. Use the source package and see the README for details on installing dependencies.
