1 : anton 1.9 User-visible changes between 0.6.2 and 0.7.0:
2 : anton 1.6
3 : anton 1.9 Bugfixes (in particular a Gforth bug when dealing with "../" is fixed).
4 : anton 1.4
5 : anton 1.9 Vmgen by default behaves just as in 0.6.2. While some advances have
6 :     been implemented, the result is not mature enough for general
7 :     consumption and is therefore disabled by default.
8 : anton 1.4
9 :    
10 : anton 1.2 User-visible changes between 0.6.[01] and 0.6.2:
11 :    
12 :     You now have to define a macro MAYBE_UNUSED (see manual); useful for
13 :     suppressing expected "unused variable" warnings.
14 :    
15 : anton 1.1 User-visible changes between 0.5.9-20020901 and 0.6.0:
16 :    
17 :     Support for upward-growing stacks (see "Stack growth direction" in the
18 :     manual)
19 :     New macro in output: IMM_ARG.
20 :     New input flag: include-skipped-insts (currently pointless).
21 :     Lazy loading and eager storing of stack items in superinstructiuons;
22 :     this reduces register pressure (useful on 386), but causes compiler
23 :     warnings about unused variables.
24 :    
25 :    
26 :     User-visible changes between 0.5.9-20020822 and 0.5.9-20020901:
27 :    
28 :     The store optimization is now disabled by default, but can be enabled
29 :     by the user. Documentation for this optimization is also new.
30 :    
31 :    
32 :     Use-visible changes between 0.5.9-20010501 and 0.5.9-20020822:
33 :    
34 :     There is now a manual (in info, HTML, Postscript, or plain text format).
35 :    
36 :     There is the vmgen-ex2 variant of the vmgen-ex example; the new
37 :     variant uses a union type instead of lots of casting.
38 :    
39 :     Both variants of the example can now be compiled with an ANSI C
40 :     compiler (using switch dispatch and losing quite a bit of
41 :     performance); tested with lcc.
42 :    
43 :     There are several changes in the way you have to define macros (see
44 :     node/section "Changes" in the manual). I recommend keeping the
45 :     gforth-0.5.9-20010501 version until you have completed the changes
46 :     (note that you can have several versions of Gforth installed at the
47 :     same time).
