FastBasic 4.6

Ukazała się nowa wersja rozwijanego od dłuższego czasu interpretera popularnego języka BASIC - FastBasic. FB pozwala na pisanie programów w znanej chyba wszystkim początkującym programistom składni, które będą nieporównywalnie szybsze od pisanych we wbudowanym dialekcie. Nowości:

• Now the FastBasic PC compiler can produce Atari 5200 cartridge images.
• atari-fp: produces Atari 800 XEX programs, with support for floating-point.
• atari-int: the old "integer only" version, produces Atari 800 XEX programs that don't use the floating-point package.
• a5200: produces cartridges for the Atari 5200
• atari-cart: the same as atari-fp, but producing cartridge images for the Atari 800.
• atari-cart-int: the same as atari-int, but producing cartridge images for the Atari 800.
• There are now PRINT functions that allows formatting the output for PRINT command
• DIM can be used to declare normal variables (like DIM X$, Z), the variables are automatically initialized to 0 or empty strings.
• DATA statements can be placed in ROM instead of RAM (useful for Atari 800 cartridges or Atari 5200).
• Allows writing to more than one register in a DLI
• The comma in prints now uses the TAB function internally, so it behaves more consistently in screen output (but in a different way that Atari BASIC).
• MOVE and -MOVE are faster, using code in zero-page.
• Fixes crash when setting DLI
• More size optimizations, integer IDE is still less than 8kB of size.
• Cross-compiler rewritten to allow multiple targets by configuration files.
• Cross-compiler allows building Windows version native and ports the cross-compiler test-suite to Windows.
• Cross-compiler prints better compiler error messages.
• Cross-compiler allows defining symbols for the linker and passing arbitrary arguments.
