Version 3.3.7.2 of BricxCC is now available.

It fixes a bug in the Brick Piano (introduced in the previous version) which
made it impossible to save the music to a file or to the clipboard.

Music saved from the Brick Piano can now be in NQC, MindScript, LASM,
pbForth, leJOS, and brickOS C or Pascal code.

The output of the MIDI conversion feature also now includes pbForth and leJOS.

It adds .nqh as an NQC file extension.

It fixes an access violation when trying to compile a file without an
extension.  Also fixes a Win32 error when trying to compile an Untitled file.

Compiler warnings and linker errors from the brickOS compiler are now
handled better/properly.

Users can query for the version of the NQC (2.5a5 and above) & LCC compiler
(from the Preferences dialog, Compiler tab).

MindScript LASM output is now available in the Code/Error listing window
(requires SDK 2.5).  Now it works in BricxCC almost exactly like NQC does.

The MindScript and LASM compiler error position calculation is also vastly
improved if you use SDK 2.5.

The code editor window can now show something called "structure lines" in a
user-configurable color. These lines show matching brace nesting levels. It
is supported in NQC, MindScript, Java, and C/C++. See the Editor tab of the
Preferences dialog for the new color selection combobox. To turn off the
structure lines you select the color "clNone" (which is the default value).

The Find Brick dialog now uses radio buttons for selecting the firmware
type, specifically listing Standard, brickOS, pbForth, and leJOS as possible
firmware types.

The Code/Error listing window can be set to "stay on top" via the
right-click context menu.

The Joystick tool window now supports moving the robot via the regular
numeric keys along the top of the keyboard. These keys act in a "sticky"
fashion (i.e., the robot keeps moving after the key is released).

Find it at the usual spot:

Here are a few possible things still on my TODO list:

1. your requests here... :-)
2. pbForth console/downloading programs.
3. Better Spybot support with the various tool dialogs.
4. Enable some of the tool dialogs with brickOS.  This may involve
implementing some standard firmware opcode support in brickOS.
5. Get GNU Pascal support officially added to brickOS.
6. Enhanced MIDI conversion (support for multi-track MIDI files).
7. leJOS support (maybe).

Let me know what you think!
