   1.4 (v48) - February 2005

   -----------------------------------

   Stuff since 1.3:

   o "::" did not work on objects, fixed.

   o PPC NOP instruction added.

   o New source OPTions:

      NODEFMODS
      NOSTARTUP

   o New comandline options:

      RAWEXE/S
      ABSOLUTE/N
      TOADDR/N
      MODULEDIR/K
      NUMFREGALLOC/N
      OPTI/S

   o Many fixes for 68k and powerpc library mode, dare I say it works now ? ;)

   o Wrong termination of FOR/WHILE/REPEAT/LOOP could hang compiler, fixed.

   o Libraryfunction identifier may be used in inline asm now (as offset).

   o "->" inside "/* ... */" gave problems (mui-demo.e), fixed.

   o Increased internal stacksize; mui-demo.e compiles and works now.

   o Immedlist max lenght increased to 1024 for now.

   o (PPC) NILCHECK fixed.

   o Vararg define parameter names where not correctly written to module, fixed.

   o (68K) OstrCmp() took wrong # of args, fixed.

   o Another fix for methods returning in float-reg.

   o (68K) Many fixes to floating-point support.
     Tested and working: mandel.e, ifsfern.e, float.e.

   o (PPC) Fexp(), Fcos() was not correct, fixed.

   o "ENUM" did not accept -val, fixed.

   o IF..THEN..ELSE.. was not double-float aware (scaled to single), fixed.

   o ModuleFromFD tool fixes, now understands also MOS .FD's using no base-register,
     and r12base-register.

   o Added internal function DebugF(fmtstr,...).

   o Registers can be automatically allocated separately for integer and float registers.

   o Various codegeneration bugs fixed in 68K and PPC mode.

   o "CASE <exp>" where <exp> contains any kind of subroutine call, didnt work, fixed.

   o (PPC) Temporary register allocation bug caused complex expressions
     (like _isinboject() macro of class3.e) to generate wrong code, fixed.

   o (68K) InStr() used wrong default value, fixed.

   Other things:

      MUI-stuff does not work at all in 68k mode for now, unknown bugs.
      Scrollerwindow.e still not working in 68k mode.
      Updated brush2e supporting ECX available e:source/tools/



Happy coding!
