v10.4.2

This release fixes some bugs and improves some things, and adds some new library modules and exampoles, but no major language changes.

breaking changes

  • removed the broken verafx.mult routine (verafx doesn't support unsigned multiplications. The muls routine is still there, that one works fine)
  • added verafx.mult16 for just the 16 bit unsigned results that worked fine.
  • string assignments got somewhat stricter to avoid problematic cases. If your code doesn't compile anymore, you should use string.copy explicitly now to set a new value to a string.

other changes

  • fixed assembly optimization bug that removed a RTS sometimes. This broke floats.ceil and some other routines.
  • fixed "raw" output to also properly initialize variables.
  • fixed C64 floating point sign problem
  • added experimental compression library, it provides RLE compression and decompression routines. (the RLE algorithm supported is Byterun1/Packbits, which is used in Amiga IFF ILBM images among others)
  • cx16: added audio module with subroutines to simplify calling the Audio routines in the kernal. The 'audioroutines' example has been updated to use this.
  • cx16: kernal bank 0 is once again activated at startup to speed up kernal calls
  • cx16: added callfar2 builtin function that allows you to set A,X,Y and Carry parameters instead of only AY.
  • cx16: added color fade routines to the palette module
  • cx16: added a port of the c64's "balloonflight" example. Added 'starszoom' example.
  • added sys.sizeof_byte etc etc constants that are the memory sizes of the given datatypes
  • many code optimizations
  • several error message improvements.
  • documentation improvements.
  • added 'fractal-tree' example.

Thanks to the people in the Prog8 channel on the X16 discord for their contributions.
