release 1.9

• Syntax change: simplified the asmsub syntax (see the updated p8 lib files)
• fixed bug where assignments were shuffled around in a futile attempt to optimize something
• added parsing of when statement (code generation not yet complete though)
• gradle build system improvements

• major code restructurings in an attempt to separate things and improve editor and compiler performance
• there's now an AstToSource printer

release 1.8

• script fixes
• updated kotlin sdk version
• many code cleanups and improvements
• added code optimization: removal of unused code and variables, subroutine inlining
• added travis CI builds
• added AST-based virtual machine (-avm command line option) it runs on the internal AST directly, without needing byte codes
• strlen functions now terminate at the first zero byte
• better implicit type casting
• the stackvm and astvm can now print in different colors

release 1.7

• array size in vardecl is now optional (if you provide an array initializer value)
• %asmbinary is now implemented
• tweaked the build scripts a bit
• invalid assignment reordering fixed
• avg() fixed for float arrays

release 1.6

• upgraded to kotlin 1.3.30 and intellij 2019.1
• new functions: pow(f)
• fixed functions: min, max, all, ceil
• integer pow() removed
• address-of operator & implemented to create memory address pointer values
• memory variable datatype keyword replaced by &
• various stackVm bugs fixed

release 1.5 beta

• fixed loop labeling problem that resulted in uncompilable assembly code
• stackvm can now intercept certain system/rom calls
• stackvm endless loop bug fixed
• strlen() and sqrt16() added
• improved some compiler error messages
• for loops can now be over an iterable literal (such as a string or array) without explicitly having to use a hold variable
• irq handler now saves zero page scratch registers

release 1.4 beta

• removed pascal string types (str_p and str_ps)
• fixed some bugs in the tehtriz example, added holding area, tweaked controls

release 1.3 beta

• fixed many bugs
• added Tetris clone game example
• asmsubroutines can now be used in expressions (they return their value on the eval stack)
• fixed primes.p8 example
• documented zp type tag and irq handlers
• gradle can now create a fully contained fat jar (although it still is a lot bigger than what the build script produces)
• added a few builtin functions such as read_flags

release 1.2 beta

• gradle buildsystem (contributed by fboldog)
• math assembly optimizations (contributed by Soci)
• bugfixes
• better zeropage handling, new zeropage mode (floatsafe)
• improved module file name/path handling, fixed path issues on windows
