1.14.2 - 3.10.2019

• added i8080 mode (--i8080 CLI option) (it's still Z80 Zilog syntax, just limited instruction set)
• added Sharp LR35902 mode (--lr35902 CLI option) (100% syntax compatibility with IDA, 95% bgb)

• 1.14.0 include-path bugfix reverted, the "." is again automatically added (did break projects)
• small improvements/polish/extra-info in docs, INSTALL, README, few new tests added
• cmake script fix of SYSTEM_LUA=ON option, CirrusCI configs added for macOS and FreeBSD
• few fixes of memory leaks, invalid memory access, double free/delete

1.14.1 - 30.8.2019

• refactored SHELLEXEC to use clib system(..) on all platforms (also MS VS), minor fixes
• lua example inc_text (result of specific request from sjasmplus user)
• listing fixed when Lua was used to emit bytes and also parsed lines of assembly source
• MinGW windows exe prefers "/" file system delimiter ("\" should still work on windows (only))
• lot of small bugfixes and Cirrus CI infrastructure adjustments (windows MinGW build does run full tests)
• MS VS builds stabilized and fixed, should now work mostly on par with MinGW builds (99.5%)
• Using lgtm.com code analysis (did help to find new bugs and memory leaks)
• UnitTest++ framework added for regular C++ unit tests, first few tests added

1.14.0 - 17.8.2019

• UNDEFINE had undocumented feature of removing also labels, cancelled (was broken beyond repair)
• R800 MULUB was producing wrong opcode all those years... fixed

• several tests added to improve the code coverage: coveralls.io/github/z00m128/sjasmplus
• as tests were added, minor bugs were found and squashed (errors wording, etc)

1.13.3 - 21.7.2019

• bugfixes, new examples (check tests/lua_examples)
• UTF BOM are now detected, UTF8 BOM is silently skipped, UTF16/32 BOMs cause fatal error
• ZXSPECTRUMNEXT device is now initialized with whole memory zeroed (no more ZX48 sysvars)
• DEFL documented, "no forward reference" rule relaxed for EQU
• some error messages reworded to make them easier to comprehend

1.13.2 - 28.6.2019

• OPT has now also listoff and liston commands
• added to --syntax option: case insensitive instructions, bBw added/changed
• new macro examples, minor fixes and refactoring
• SAVETRD implementation refactored (more checks, less bugs, "replace" file feature)

• updated syntax-highlight file for KDE5 editors (Kate)

1.13.0 - 05.05.2019

• [may break old sources] DEVICE: each assembling pass resets also "device". To work with "device" memory (SAVESNA, SAVETAP, ...) you must select the device (and slot and pages) before producing machine code which you want to work with (SAVESNA, SAVETAP, ...). If only single DEVICE is used in whole source batch, then the setting is "global" and will be applied to all lines of source (in 2nd+ pass).
• [may break old sources] ZXSPECTRUM128 based devices map into slots by default banks {7, 5, 2, 0}. (was {0, 5, 2, 7} in older versions)
• [may break old sources] ZXSPECTRUM128 based devices have sysvars and stack set up as in USR 0 mode (ZXSPECTRUM48 system variables and default stack content).
• [may break old sources] MAP + FIELD directives removed (STRUCT is better and working)
• MMU directive (fusing SLOT + PAGE and extending them)
• SAVEDEV directive (similar to SAVEBIN)
• SAVENEX directive (for ZX Spectrum Next)
• INCBIN: support for negative offset/length values, support for MMU wrapping
• INCBIN: support for file chunks of 64+ki size (usable with MMU)
• Fixed: INCTRD offset, binary STDOUT on windows, SAVETRD, SAVEHOB filenames
• Fixed: LUA used inside macros, LUA get_word, LUA error reporting
• parser: added C++(like) numeric literals
• ZXSPECTRUMNEXT device added
• refactoring of label/define implementation = less memory leaks, more correct "label.mem_page" values, "Unreal" labels dump is more correct too
• docs: now the CSS file is actually used, and default style modified a bit
• new MACRO examples, syntax-highlight file for KDE5 editors (Kate)

1.12.0 - 07.04.2019

• Fixed parsing of expressions starting with string literal
• Fixed listing of DS directive with negative values, added value check warning
• Fixed possible wrong indexing of some arrays internally
• Fixed parsing of single-word instructions in colon-packed-no-space macros
• Making macro arguments substitution a bit more aggressive, to work also with DEFINE, IFDEF, IFNDEF, DEFARRAY directives inside macro (this gives the coder more macro power and freedom, but the error reporting may get lot more confused)
• Refactoring substring substitution for macro-arguments and defines, now it should work always. To prohibit some macro/define to substitute into middle of the string, start its name with underscore, like "_VERSION".
• THIS MAY BREAK SOME OLDER SOURCES, SORRY. Also the rules for substitutions will be in the future further modified and documented, to make them more intuitive and predictable, so there may be more breakage even later.
• Adding fake instructions break and exit for CSpect emulator (--zxnext=cspect)
