ECX v52 (1.7.2) - October 2007
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- PPC Fsin(), Fcos(), Fcosh() fixes. Fcos() still has problems with negative
  vales < -1.

- "UNDEFINED EXPORTED GLOBALS:" sometimes printed bogus.

- Omitting "," between expressions in lists/parameter lists went unnoticed by
  compiler.. Fixed. Thanks UltraGelb.

- ECX now checks that the ECXMODULES: assign is set up correctly, gives error
  message otherwise.

- Rewrote PPC stringformatting functions to avoid bugs in new morphos functions.
  (zero flag was always on.)

- Compiling module with vardebug had problems in some situations. Fixed.

- QUIET/S commandline option fixed. Would crash on ERROR:.

- OPT NOSTARTUP stopped working as of 1.7.0. Fixed.

- PPC ListAdd() was broken, fixed.

- The global "arg" variable contained trailing newline as of 1.7.0, fixed.

- 68k code generator had problems with complex expressions like the _isinobject() macro, fixed.

- Two 68k floating point bugs fixed.


ECX v52 (1.7.1) - September 2007
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Build problem causing 68k mode to have problems creating code.
  Should be gone now. Thanks Damien G.

- PPC Fsin(), Fcos(), Fcosh() did not like inputs outside +-PI, fixed. Thanks UltraGelb.

- PPC mode float to int conversion rounded to nearest, when it should round towards zero,
  fixed. Also added OPT ROUNDNEAR incase someone wants that behaviour. Like myself :)
  Only for PPC currently.

- Library mode modules had debugf() calls in them, fixed.

- A bug that had nothing to do with OOP, but showed itself that way, fixed :) Thanks UltraGelb.

- Problem with stuff like x-->y (looks like comment), fixed. Thanks UltraGelb.

- Added OPT FPEXP for compatibility with CreativE. Does nothing.

- Bug in diself fixed, thanks Stefan H.

- More fixes to diself.

- A bug in OOP. To weird to even explain :) About methods being inherited mysteriously.

- Added modules/otherabox/ecode.m

- Added modules/toolsabox/longreal.m, modules/toolsabox/longrealtiny.m. PLEASE AVOID FOR NEW CODE.

- Zero size arrays in object stopped working as of 1.7.0, fixed.

- More relative module path fixing for secondary loaded modules.

- A preprocessor bug. Problem for macro without args, with a body using macro with args.
  Fixed. Thanks UltraGelb.


ECX v52 (1.7.0) - July 2007
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Made PPC RealVal() support 64bit precision strings.

- Added commandline options: POWERPC/S, MORPHOS/S. Works as the OPT versions.

- Preprocessor directive #include was not documented. Hardly tested either :)

- Another fix to relative module paths.

- Added OPT INLINE for compatibility with CreativE.

- OPT DIR now supports also absolute module paths (again).

- Added commandline option DIR/K, like the OPTion.

- OHYEAH! Comes with MorphOS native compiler (ecx.mos) :)
  It is aprox 2.5 times faster, or 25000 lines / second on PEG1 G3/600.
