I've released version 3.3.7.7 of BricxCC today.
It adds a Spybot EEPROM tool window.
It adds a new configurable watch tool window.
It adds a new generic set source value tool window.
It adds a hot key (F2) for the pbForth console.
The position of the 3 new tool windows and the pbForth console are now saved to
and loaded from the registry.
The built-in help system has been updated to include documentation of the new
NQC Spybotics API.
The new NQC 3.0a1 keywords, constants, and commands are included. Click the
Default button on the NQC API tab of the Preferences dialog to update your
installation.
Here's the deal. I need *feedback* on the 3 new tool windows (Spybot EEPROM,
configurable Watch, generic Set Source Value). I don't think the Spybot
birthdate is working right. I may not be right about the 1 byte per digit of
dd/mm/yy. There may also be other problems with that dialog (aside from it
taking a while to load all the data). The configurable Watch dialog is, I
think, cool. It gives you a lot more flexibility than the old Watch dialog
does. And it supports all the sources. Similarly, the generic Set Source Value
dialog allows you to pick any writable source and set its value from any other
source.
I have included in this release a new NQC 3.0 a1 compiler. It's my first beta
for NQC so be gentle. No, actually, I want you to be ruthless. Try to break
it. Check that it generates good code. Compare the generated code to that
generated with 2.5r3. If you are doing Spybot stuff make sure you replace your
spy.nqh with the one included in this release since most of the stuff in the old
spy.nqh is now included in the built-in API. Try to use pointers and tell me
what you think of them. Whatever you do, don't try writing subroutines that
take parameters (with a Spybot target)!!! :-)
LMKWYT,
