v1.5.0 stable

[tomhea]

Version 1.5.0 changes:

• Blazing-fast interpreter ( x1000! ) 🚀🚀 - thanks to a new native C run-loop (_fjcore.c), we now run at ~300M fj-ops/s, x1000 faster than the 1.4.0 interpreter. Prebuilt in the official wheels, so it's included in pip install flipjump (CPython ≥ 3.10; Linux, macOS, Windows).
  • Two pure-Python loops remain: Python's fast loop (~4M fj-ops/s), and the slower featured loop (allows breakpoints, debugging...).
• 1.5x-2x faster Assembler 🚀
• IO devices 🖥️ - pluggable input/output via --io MODE. Devices can now read/write program memory directly through the DeviceMemory hook. Modes include:
  • standard (terminal, default)
  • pc (an interactive window: live keyboard and a scaled 256-color screen; needs pip install flipjump[io]).
• CLI debugger 🐛 - now textual: breakpoints, single-step/skip, and memory & flipjump-variable inspection, driven by named commands (read, step, skip, continue, …).
• New STL macros: Added hex.abs, hex.fill_bytes, hex.copy_bytes.
• Small bug fixes and improved documentation.

🚀 FlipJump Tools:

• FlipJump Online IDE
• Read-The-Docs site - full STL and FlipJump documentation
• IDE Plugins: VSCode, JetBrains
• flipJump-dev Claude skill - /plugin marketplace add tomhea/skills and /plugin install flipjump@tomhe.

It's all tested and ready to be used on Windows, Linux, and Mac, with Python 3.10+.
