ECX v56 (2.1.2) - July 2009
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Problem with ELF generation and SYMBOLHUNK/S, fixed.


ECX v56 (2.1.1) - June 2009
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Some old bugs in EC/Creative modules support fixed.

- \0 to \9 codes in immediate strings broke in 2.1
   (which in turn broke ECX's ELF generation), fixed.


ECX v56 (2.1.0) - June 2009
--------------------------------------------------------

- Fixed an gigantic amount of 64bit integer issues and forgotten things (PPC).

- Strings now supports formatting codes \1 to \9 to insert
  ascii values 1 to 9. (\0 has always been supported).

- 68k String(), List(), DisposeLink() now supports optional
  argument "mempool" just like PowerPC versions.

- "CONST BLA = (<non-constexp>)" => crash, FIXED.

- Now does optimisations like "!x/256.0" => "!x*(!1.0/256.0)" => "!x*0.00390625".

- Finally implemented 68k inline assembler! *badabing* Hard work :)
  See ecx.guide.

- ECX now supports 'foo''bar' type of strings like EC/CreativE.

- Improved SYMBOLHUNK generation, now also yanks symbols from
  "secondary loaded" modules.

- EmptyCache tool threw a hit, fixed.

- Added OPT CODE FAST, for compatibility with CreativE, does nothing.

- 68k Mul(), Div() now uses 68020 instructions.

- Fixed 68k StrCopy() to handle 0 len copy like PPC version.

- Added built-in function NewList().

- Some codegen fixes and improvements mostly for 68k.

- Various smaller fixes and improvements..
