v45 June 2004 ----------------------------------


   o Increased max immedlist size to 512 entries. Sorry, no more, Gelb ;-)

   o Tiny fix to moduleformat, however tiny, its not backwards compatible!

   o CreativE module support.
     Limited in the sence that no new internal functions / variables may be used.

   o PPC Floating point got some MAJOR fixes. And its fast, VERY FAST :-)
     (Try out the Mandel.e source)

   o 68020 support now works, for smaller examples.

   o SELECT OF should work now.

   o ERROR: double declaration "Dum",  fixed. Thanks Damien G.

   o Conditional compilation got a fix. It actually works now :D

   o DOUBLE, ARRAY OF DOUBLE, PTR TO DOUBLE.

   o LONG 'string'.

   o Methods seems to work now, not much tested.

   o objectptr++, objectptr-- compiled wrong, fixed.

   o ViewCache tool was compiled for, and only worked on, MorphOS. fixed.

   o PPC StringF() *added* to "estr". fixed.

   o PPC Line() crashed. fixed.

   o Improved code quality.

      > Automatic register allocation. (NUMREGALLOC/N)
      > IF/ELSEIF/WHILE/UNTIL/EXIT <comparison> more efficient.
      > Calling system functions more efficient.
      > Member dereferencing (x.y) and indexing (x[]) more efficient.

   o PPC ListCopy(), ListAdd() had a bug.

   o Global defaultvalues where always NIL.

   o PPC SetColour(). 68k ObjName(), ObjSize().

   o PPC AstrCopy() only accepted 1 arg which is not very nice :)

   o PPC OpenS(), CloseS(), OstrCmp()

   o Quoted expressions fixed.

   o Hooks now works (toolsabox/installhook.e)

   o MUI custom classes now work (muiabox/muicustomclass.e)

   o PPC ListMax(), StrMax() was wrong.
