1.13.0 - 05.05.2019

  • [may break old sources] DEVICE: each assembling pass resets also "device". To work with "device" memory (SAVESNA, SAVETAP, ...) you must select the device (and slot and pages) before producing machine code which you want to work with (SAVESNA, SAVETAP, ...). If only single DEVICE is used in whole source batch, then the setting is "global" and will be applied to all lines of source (in 2nd+ pass).

  • Fixed: LUA used inside macros, LUA get_word, LUA error reporting
  • parser: added C++(like) numeric literals
  • ZXSPECTRUMNEXT device added
  • refactoring of label/define implementation = less memory leaks, more correct "label.mem_page" values, "Unreal" labels dump is more correct too
  • docs: now the CSS file is actually used, and default style modified a bit
  • new MACRO examples, syntax-highlight file for KDE5 editors (Kate)

  • Fixed parsing of expressions starting with string literal
  • Fixed listing of DS directive with negative values, added value check warning
  • Fixed possible wrong indexing of some arrays internally
  • Fixed parsing of single-word instructions in colon-packed-no-space macros
  • Making macro arguments substitution a bit more aggressive, to work also with DEFINE, IFDEF, IFNDEF, DEFARRAY directives inside macro (this gives the coder more macro power and freedom, but the error reporting may get lot more confused)
  • Refactoring substring substitution for macro-arguments and defines, now it should work always. To prohibit some macro/define to substitute into middle of the string, start its name with underscore, like "_VERSION".
  • THIS MAY BREAK SOME OLDER SOURCES, SORRY. Also the rules for substitutions will be in the future further modified and documented, to make them more intuitive and predictable, so there may be more breakage even later.

  • Very important fix of procedure of line reading

1.05 (debug)

  • Now you can write directives from the beginning of line
  • Added directive .<expression> <code>, where <expression> - count of repeats, <code> - code, which need to repeat
  • Corrected small bug of IF and IFN
  • Added directive LABELSLIST (by Kurles^HS^CPU)
  • Added directive DISPLAY analogue of Alasm's directive (by Kurles^HS^CPU)
  • Added directives EMPTYTRD, SAVETRD, INCHOB, INCTRD
  • Remade procedure of lines reading (added support of end lines codes of Mac and Unix)
  • Added support of resting of DUP, REPT and synonym of EDUP -- ENDR
  • Corrected error with macros

1.04 (debug)

  • Speeded up! 250000 lines of code compiles with 1.15 sec instead of 2.5 sec! And SjASMPlus will no more eat so much RAM.
  • Added support of encodings (WIN/DOS) --- directive ENCODING and key -d (by Kurles^HS^CPU)
  • Added directive IFN an opposition of IF

1.03 (debug)

  • Added counter of compiled lines
  • Added directive SAVEHOB, which saves block of memory in Hobeta format (by Kurles^HS^CPU)
  • Corrected bug with using <..> in directives INCLUDE, INCBIN and etc (by Kurles^HS^CPU)

1.02 (debug)

  • New synonym of INCBIN -- INSERT
  • Added support of ZX-Spectrum memory. Use key -m for this.
  • With key -m enabling new directives PAGE, SAVESNA, SAVEBIN and extra parameter of ORG <address>,<pagenumber>
  • Added directives DISP, ENT (PHASE, UNPHASE, DEPHASE)
  • Speeded up. 250000 lines of code compiles with 2.5 sec instead of 7 sec!
  • Max length of line now is 1024 bytes

1.01 alpha

  • Added synonym of EX AF,AF' -- EXA
  • Corrected small bug with DEFINEs
  • Small speed up
  • Added support of single quotes for BYTE, DB, DC, DZ, in which don't working slash (example \n will be \n, but not carry to new line)
  • Commented all changes in sources
  • -Q & -L was returned (yet in test mode)

1.00 alpha

  • Added key -P which enabled reverse compiling of POP (i.e POP AF,BC will be compiled to pop bc / pop af)
  • Support code throught colon (LD A,C:INC A:PUSH AF:IFDEF FX:LD A,D:ENDIF...)
  • New synonym of REPT -- DUP
  • Synonyms of IXH,IXL and IYH,IYL: XH,XL,LX,HX,YH,YL,HY,LY
  • Corrected small bugs (with SIZE and other)
  • Shortened listing file was more friendly
  • Display time of compilation

0.39f

  • Maximum, minimum, and, or, mod, xor, not, shl, shr, low and high operators added.
  • Logical operations result in -1 or 0 instead of 1 or 0. Of course, -1 for true and 0 for false ;)
  • Fixed the "ifdef <illegal identifier>" bug

0.30

  • # Can be used now to indicate a hexadecimal value
  • Local "number" labels should really work now
  • Multiple error messages per source line possible
  • Things like ld a,(4)+1 work again (=> ld a,5). Somehow I broke this in v0.3
  • Filenames don't need surrounding quotes anymore
  • Macro's can be nested once again
  • Better define-handling
  • Textarea detects forward references
  • Include within include searches relative to that include
  • Unlocked some directives (assert, output)
  • # Can be used in labels
  • No space needed between label and = in statements like label=value
  • The export directive now exports label: EQU value instead of label = value
  • Labelnames starting with a register name (like HL_kip) shouldn't confuse SjASM anymore
  • RLC, RRC, RL, RR, SLA, SRA, SLL (SLI), RES and SET undocumented instructions added
  • ex af,af and ex af are possible now
  • Added defb, defw and defs
  • Locallabels now also work correctly when used in macros
  • Added // and limited /* */ comments
  • SjASM now checks the label values between passes
  • >>> Operator added
  • Sources included
  • >>> And >> operators now work the way they should (I think)
  • Removed the data/text/pool-bug. (Together with the data/text/pool directives. ~8)
  • Added endmodule and endmod to end a module
  • STRUCT directive
  • REPT, DWORD, DD, DEFD directives
  • More freedom with character constants; in some cases it's possible to use double quotes...
  • It's now possible to specify include paths at the command line
  • Angle brackets are used now to include commas in macroarguments. So check your macro's
  • Fixed a structure initialization bug
  • It's not possible to use CALLs or jumps without arguments anymore
  • DZ and ABYTEZ directives to define null terminated strings
  • SjASM now checks for lines that are too long
  • Added "16 bit" LD, LDI and LDD instructions
  • PUSH and POP accept a list of registers
  • Added "16 bit" SUB instruction
  • Unreferenced labels are indicated with an 'X' in the labellisting
  • Unknown escapecodes in strings result in just one error (instead of more)
  • Labelnameparts now have a maximum of 70 characters
  • Improved IX and IY offset checking

0.2

  • SjASM v0.3x assumes Z80-mode as there are no other cpus supported
  • All calculations are 32 bits
