v46 August 2004 ----------------------------------


   o PPC Rnd() bug fixed.

   o PPC StringF() bug fixed.

   o some RAISE conditions where not correct, fixed.

   o object.member++ was wrong, fixed. Thanks Damien G.

   o Automatic OBJECT "self" in methods now implemented.

   o Local class construction.

   o Small FreeMem bug in startupcode fixed.

   o Unreferenced check, did not check in methods, fixed.

   o SELECT OF fixed again!.

   o PPC Next(cmplx) did not cope with cmplx=NIL.

   o "(", ")" is now allowed in constant expressions.

   o Compiling exe with (line)debug and modules compiled with (line)debug crashed, fixed.

   o ModuleFromFD tool. Supports Amiga and MorphOS FDs (including SYSV functions).

   o PPC: DOUBLE variables may be put in registers too.

   o OPT NOWARN, NOWARN/S - implemented.

   o Vararg macros work now.

   o PPC NewM() was missing.

   o PPC String(), List(), DisposeLink() now takes a second optional argument: mempool !!

   o Automatic register allocation bug removed.

   o PPC FastNew() bug fixed.

   o PPC floating point support fuctions (Fxxx()) didnt work, fixed.

   o Two new internal functions: XtoD(), DtoX(). Theese functions convert
     a 64bit (signed) integer to a 64bit float, and the other way around. only PPC for now.

   o Another 68K ++/-- bug fixed. (QuickPub now opens window correctly).

   o 68k negate was wrong, fixed. (vectest3 now works)

   o Misc bugs fixed here and there, in a nutshell, many more sources works now.


   Other things:

      68k mode needs more work to be useful..

      PowerPC library mode still not working..

      Assembly style macros still not implemented..

      All MUI-examples, except Mui-Demo.e works correctly, in powerpc mode.

      Methods between modules seems to have problems..

      Lisp-cells not fully implemented.. will it ever be ?

      Chances are, there is more.. ;-)

      Oh yes, I havent been able to test if floating point operations
      works in 68k mode. As far as I can tell, MorphOS does not emulate
      68k FPU..


  Enjoy :)
