    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.
