0E. changes / history / new features
------------------------------------
New in v3.3a:
- significantly improved version of EasyGUI, including the SOURCE!
- new version of EDBG which a.o. now cooperates with Explorer
  (see  17K  for a full list of new features and bugs fixed).
  Now comes with source code as well!
- new version of EBuild
- various new examples, e.g. a texturemapper
- new versions of many modules and examples
- revised docs, e.g. a new "known-bugs" list.
- some new builtins, e.g. the Arc float functions.
- LIBRARY mode now has a PROC close() to match main()
- two (!) new class libraries now part of the distribution,
  Gregor's OO modules and Fabio's AFC.

Bugs fixed in v3.3a:
- EC now saves debug information for "self", and EDBG makes use of it.
- OPT RTD removed.
- ENUM now works with negative numbers
- module-cache flushing now definitely fool proof.
- and many smaller bugs...

New in v3.2i:
- make sure you read about the bug in mathieeesingbas.library (see  12D ) (!)
- You can explicitly assign registers in own libraries (e.g. `myfun(A0)').
- `find' in EDBG
- Iconvert supports PhxAss (with "-p")
- quite a few things in the distribution

Bugs fixed in v3.2i:
- methods with an exception handler could cause problems in the register
  allocator.
- various bugs in EDBG (scroller etc.)
- double declaration of object or label identifiers could go unnoticed
- EC would have problems flushing modules from different directories (now it
  only looks for the file-part and flushes it).
- problems could occur with method being called before their OBJECT declarations.
- and various smaller bugs...

New features in v3.2e:
- better EasyGUI (plugins)
- better EDBG (Arexx port and config saving)

Bugs fixed in v3.2e:
- procident.member gave weird errors
- preprocessor failed on 68000 in particular situations
- preprocessor didn't handle international characters
- '\0' in strings would cut them off
- EC would Lock() with an illegal mode from other dirs
- $FFFF as default arg became $FFFF0000
- macro errors could cause garbage to be printed on screen
- /* */ in comments failed
- inheriting from yourself wasn't detected
- didn't accept 0(A3,a) or 0(A3,a.L) or lab(PC,a) etc. where a:REG
- AND.L D0,a where a:REG changed src-dest

New features in v3.2a:
- EC can now output .library files!!! (see  17M )
- new EDBG with a massive amount of new features! (see  17K )
- enhanced EasyGUI (have a look)
- NEW and END now work on subobjects as well (see  4K ).
- NILCHECK/S, will insert code to check all "." and "[]" dereferences for
  NIL pointers (see  0D )
- v40 emodules, with types!
- new modules (Src/Class/ScrollWin/ and others)
- new docs / beginners guide
- extended distribution with Jason's RKRM examples etc.

Bugs fixed in v3.2a:
- IGNORECACHE was broken
- silly bug in /2
- asm -xx(Ax,Dx.w) addressing mode assembled wrong
- a-- where a:PTR TO o where SIZEOF o>8 translated into ADDI ipv SUBI
- globals in modules used in inline asm were not exported / offsets adjusted
- exp*globvar in module not compiled ok
- macros of other module would be saved again in current module
- and quite a few smaller ones...
