Matrix Brandy V1.23.2 released
Hi,
I have released version 1.23.2 of Matrix Brandy. Changes include:
- General: Much code clean-up (and some bugs fixed) after static analysis.
- Build: Autodetect whether it's a release build (master branch, or a tarball without any git information) or a development build (anything else).
- System: Added a new version check for release builds. Use option "-nocheck" to skip this should it cause slow starts.
- System: Added support for a configuration file, in $HOME/.brandyrc, %APPDATA%\brandyrc or <Brandy$Dir>.brandyrc depending on platform. See docs/Config.txt for full details.
- System: Tune stack and recursion depth to allow for a flood fill of crosshatch in a 640x512 screen mode as the minimum stack size.
- System: Implemented SYS"OS_SetColour", apart from ECF and read colour.
- System: Implemented SYS"Brandy_MemSet" to provide quick initialisation of arbitrary memory blocks.
- Graphics: Fixed some breakage in flood fill. Also, allow it to terminate early instead of crashing the interpreter if stack is exhausted.
- MOS: *Refresh Off is now the same as *Refresh OnError.
- BASIC: IF something THEN REM is no longer handled as the start of a multi-line IF statement.
- BASIC: Unary minus (and plus) on arrays are now implemented.
- BASIC: Slight adjustment to TRACE VDU - 'TRACE VDU ON' now also works, and is functionally identical to 'TRACE VDU'.
- BASIC: EXT#handle%=length%% is now supported.
- BASIC: PTR#handle% and EXT#handle% now accept and can return 64-bit values for working with large files.
- BASIC: PRINT was garbling numeric output when left-justified on some platforms (notably RISC OS).
Downloads are in the usual place from the website, with source also available via GitHub.
