• 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

• fix --longptr mode to keep 32b address when DS 0 is used
• added fake instructions adc|add|sbc|sub de,bc|de|hl|sp
• dec|inc|pop|push will accept also single-comma multiarg in --syntax=a mode
• DUP/REPT will now accept also zero count (skipping the block)
• DEFL labels can be defined even as late as in last pass
• bugfixes (macros, listing, file names in errors, SLD reversepop data)

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

• SAVETRD has optional argument to save BASIC with variables (length_minus_variables)
• 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

• [may break old sources] the colon between end of EQU/DEFL/= expression and instruction is mandatory
• [may break old sources] new abs operator for absolute integer value
• new system of warnings (and suppression), the "; ok" comments are now deprecated
• DISPLAY has now also binary and char formatting
• DEFINE+ added to [re]define identifier without error
• ELSEIF added to conditional assembling arsenal
• WHILE added for conditional loops
• added "NOSLOT64K" device with 2MiB of virtual memory

• added exclamation mark prefix for labels to not affect following local labels
• added "listmc" command to OPT - to list only lines with machine code bytes
• added --lstlab=sort variant to have symbols in listings in predictable order
• minor bugfixes in parser and listing-line-numbering, refactored symbols/labels implementation
• Added example (chargfx2asm) how to use sjasmplus as byte-processor for binary files
