Today (5th March 2012) I have uploaded a
new PortablE beta of my
modernised AmigaE programming language. While development has moved slower, I have still made a lot of bug fixes, plus added some new features:
* The Amiga installer has been greatly improved. It uses choice requesters, it has a Simple Installation mode, you can finally change the PEmodules assignment, and more. Thanks to Hypex for suggestions!
* Added some new functions to the cGfx & cGfxSprites modules.
* cGui windows now receive a close request when Exchange tries to remove the app.
* cSnd has been heavily rewritten, and should be rock-solid (not that I noticed a problem before).
* cPath now properly supports soft & hard links.
* Added support for AmigaOS4's application.library .
* Greatly improved memory handling; no-longer becomes very slow in certain situations, won't crash when allocation requests fail (ouch), and also handles low-memory situations better.
* On AmigaOS4 executable sizes have been reduced by up to 60-120KB, thanks to an OS4 SDK discovery made by Kas1e.
* cGfx's drawCircle() now works correctly.
* Fixed various small bugs.
I have also replaced the "Shadow Of The Beast like" demo with one that is
much closer to the original game.
