• fix listing of Lua's sj.parse_code (eol-comments), minor memory leaks fixed
• fix relocation of temporary labels in expressions
• invalid CLI options are reported as regular errors (also changing exit code)
• errors are colored similarly to gcc (only keyword has color), console input name is <stdin>

sjasmplus v1.19.0

sjasmplus v1.18.3

• added --color to enable/disable ANSI coloring of errors/warnings
• added --syntax=s mode to disable sub-word substitutions of DEFINEs
• added at-sign prefix for macro local labels to act as non-macro local label

• minor bugfixes (conditional block parser)

sjasmplus v1.18.2

• [may break old sources] new exist operator to check label existence
• the --syntax=i mode makes now also register parsing case insensitive

sjasmplus v1.18.0

1.18.0 - 12.12.2020
