Version history
Version 1.14 - June 8th 2019
- Upgraded the C Compiler to version 1.36 by integrating all the latest changes from Fabrice Frances: Better code generator, float/int conversion fixes, better error handling.
- Changed the default compile optimization level from -O2 to -O3 - providing significantly better code generation, both in size and speed
- Upgraded Link65 to the version 0.66: The new macro file generate lines that contain multiple instructions, the linker stopped at the first encountered instruction, this new version correctly parses that
- The code generator macro file is now compatible with both XA and FRASM
- Updated FilePack version number to 0.2 to 0.5 after somebody reported an issue with a veryyyyyyy old version which happened to have the same version number of a much more recent one.
- Tap2Dsk 2.1.1: Added a fix to avoid the tool to stay stuck on tapes with incorrect size specified in their headers
- Fixed a problem with itoa not correctly processing negative numbers (the "-" was overwritten by the number printing routine). Also took the opportunity to optimize the code (removed the jsr itoa / rts as well as an unnecessary x register clearing (it's set to zero when we are back from udiv10)
- Added support for %u to printf
- A new environment variable, OSDKVERSION contains the version number of the SDK, it is shown when building a program
Version 1.13 - October 14th 2018

Version 1.12 - July 29th 2018
- Upgraded Bas2Tap to version 2.0, with support for labels, defines, escape codes and binary optimization
- Updated macros for the C compiler from version 1.29 to 1.30 (fixes in the ADDW_IID, SUBW_IID, ANDW_IID, XORW_IID and ORW_IID which used the wrong register to access the source pointer).
- Fixed the BomberZ sample program to use the new Bas2Tap syntax
- Fixed the library functions 'scanf' and 'sscanf' (For some reason these files had not been converted to use the XA syntax when we switched from FRASM)
- Upgraded the version of Sedoric 3 used by Tap2DSK with the patch that improves the handling of the "insert master disk" prompt
- Modified the Oricutron batch file to use PUSHD/POPD instead of CD, this makes it possible to start the emulator even when the project is on another disk drive location
