Changes in version 1.4.0.xxx

This is a long (near 3 year) set of versions in which the compiler
was refactored in many places. The compiler migrated from one-pass
no objects compiler to a multiple pass object like compiler.
This not only makes the code much more maintainable and elegant, but
also a bit faster.

Technical stuff:
Now the AST uses an heterogeneous AST pattern, allowing both children
traversal using indexes (and also primitives like node.appendChild)
and attribute traversal which depends on the symbolTYPE being parsed.
e.g. for symbolBINARY (binary expressions), we have node.left, node.right,
node.operand, but also node.children[0], node.children[1].

================================================================
Changes from Version 1.2.4 to 1.2.5

Assembler:
! Under some pathological cases, compiling or assembling will last for exponential time (minutes to hours!),
  due to a possible bug/misuse of a regular expression. Fixed. Now it takes linear time.
+ Added support for IXh, IXl, IYh, IYl registers.
+ Added support for DEFS macro. Now DEFS n, B creates a block of n times byte B
! Instructions LD A, R and LD R, A where also missing. Fixed.

Compiler
! The optimizer -O2 was broken, and contained 3 bugs. Fixed.
! The optimizer -O3 was broken, and contained more than 15 bugs. It's been almost completely rewritten.
  Fixed. Now it even tries to optimize ASM users code.
! The @operator was broken under some circumstances (array accesses and variables). Fixed.
! The memory heap was also broken almost always when using any string in the program (INKEY$, STR$, CHR$, $ variables). Fixed.
! Signed LONG division was wrong for positive divisors. Fixed.
! Byte comparison operators < > = >= <= were sometimes bugged. Fixed.
! using MOD with Fixed type was unsupported. Fixed. Now MOD used Fixed type.

================================================================
Changes from Version 1.2.3 to 1.2.4
* Added SAVE/LOAD/VERIFY CODE/SCREEN$ capabilities (use ROM routines)
* Fixed a bug in @ operand which produced a memory leak

================================================================
Changes from Version 1.2.2 to 1.2.3

! CHR$ and STR$ might not use the HEAP without initializing
  it first, leading to memory corruption. Fixed. Thanks to britilion.
* HEAP size can now be set with a command line parameter.

================================================================
Changes from Version 1.2.0 to 1.2.2

! DIM with array base was buggy. Fixed.
! INK 8 and PAPER 8 were being ignored. Now they work.

================================================================
Changes from Version 1.1.9 to 1.2.0

! DIM f% = <value> was not working. Now it does.
! Memory HEAP routine slightly improved (initialization).
  Also removed a possible bug of memory corruption reported
  by britlion. (Thanks)
* New memory scheme: Now variables and heap zone are moved
  to the end of the memory (High area). This should make
  easier to implement data bank switching on 128K machines.
  It also allows to SAVE all data memory in a single block.
  This is a feature to be implemented in near-future releases.

================================================================
Changes from Version 1.1.9 to 1.2.0

! Undeclared local variables caused a compiler error.
  They should just compile (like global ones do).
! String variables used in string slices where sometimes
  optimized (ignored).
! ELSEIF constructions were not being compiled correctly.

================================================================
Changes from Version 1.1.8 to 1.1.9

! Fixed a bug for constant string slicing, so
  "0909"(A TO B) now works. Thanks to britlion.
! Expanded grammar to allow something like "0909"(f)
  or "0909"() which are also allowed in Sinclair Basic. Thanks to britlion.
! When used expressions like "0909"(f) (like above) might corrupt
  HEAP memory, leading to a program crash. Fixed. Thanks, britlion ;)
! Fixed a bug in typecast from signed integers to float which
  sometimes overflowed leading to wrong results.

================================================================
Changes from Version 1.1.7 to 1.1.8

! '%' suffix was being ignored.
! Global string variables were not optimized unless declared
  with '$' suffix. Fixed.

================================================================
Changes from Version 1.1.6 to 1.1.7

! BOLD and ITALIC could not be used as permanent attributes,
  only as temporary ones. Now they are allowed as permanent.
* Some more syntax compatibility with Sinclair BASIC. Expressions
  like F$(5) are now allowed. Expressions like PRINT ;;; do either.
! single PRINT sentences were not working (they should print a
  newline).
* Minor grammar corrections.
! Using a suffix like '$' in a function declaration was being
  ignored. Now this also works ok.
+ Added suport for PRINT ,  (Thanks to britlion and LCD for the
  suggestions and bug detection)
* Fixed a potential optimization bug for SHR and SHL

================================================================
Changes from Version 1.1.5 to 1.1.6

! Fixed many optimization bugs (almost five). Thanks to LCD
! Fixed ChangeLog file
- Internal refactored code (somewhat)

================================================================
Changes from Version 1.1.4 to 1.1.5

+ Added the ELSEIF construct to the IF THEN ELSE sentence
+ Added more optimizations in some jumps
+ Added the USR function (both for Strings and Floats)
* Optimized some print string generated code (now it's smaller)

================================================================
Changes from Version 1.1.2 to 1.1.4

+ The peephole optimizer has been enabled and seems to be working
  reasonably well.
! When a DIV BY ZERO error occurs with floating point numbers the program
  crashes and resets the computer. This behaviour has been fixed
  and now returns 0 value and sets the error code 6 (Numbert Too big)
  in the ERR_NR system variable.
* Refactorization of the assembler and compiler so they now
  shared the OPTIONS in a better way (still to be finished). This
  makes easier to program future compiler options. Now also --debug
  flag is additive, showing more verbosity the more it is used.
+ Memory optimization: The PRINT routine (which is about 1K) is not
  included if not USED.

================================================================
Changes from Version 1.1.1 to 1.1.2

! Fixed a bug in negative constant integer typecasting (Thanks to LCD
  at WOS for reporting it! ;-)). It was causing decremental FOR..NEXT
  to fail.
! Scientific notation numbers (e.g. 2e10) were not correctly parsed.
  Fixed. Thanks again to LCD. ;-)
+ Added TAB compatibility for the PRINT command (both as a command
  and as a CHR$ control character).
* PRINT code optimized for size, maintaining speed.

================================================================
Changes from Version 1.1.0 to 1.1.1

+ PRINT routines were included even when neither PRINT nor
  drawing primitives were used. Optimized.
! Fixed a lot of syntax error checkings with array operations.
! Fixed array dimension checking
+ Expanded syntax: Direct array assignation a = b (being a and b
  arrays of thes same type an size)
! Fixes an error exception on syntax error for array subscripting.
* Changed alloc functions to match the FreeBasic names.
* Using a wrong sigil in array declaration is now forbidden.
* Better sigils (suffixes) types managements at DIM declarations.

! Fixed a bug for local variables and parameters when the offset is
  very large (> 128)
+ Enabled the --sinclair flag for automatic sinclair libraries inclusion
+ Added SetAttr routine which changes the attribute of
  screen coordinate (I, J) with the given color attr
  value.
! Fixed a buggy modu16 modi16 implementation that was not compiling
  correctly
* Output asm code is now slightly optimized (for speed an memory)
! Fixed a bug in integer parameters (16 and 32 bits)
! Fixed a compiler crash when using arrays of Fixed Point numbers

================================================================
Changes from Version 1.0.9 to 1.1.0

* SCREEN$ coordinated were swapped. Fixed.
* DIM .. AT was not correctly working with local vars nor params. Fixed.

+ Added ITALIC "attribute". PRINT ITALIC 1; "Hello"
+ Added malloc, free and realloc functions to work with the heap
* Some code rearrangement
* The IFDEF directive was not working in the preprocessor. Fixed.

  multiple keys can be checked at once
+ Added GetKeyScanCodes
+ Added HEX and HEX16 functions to return HEXadecimal
  string representation of numbers
* Fixed a bug when a$(n TO) was specified
! Optimization: Remove unnecessary jumps at function returns.
! store16 now generates a more efficient backend (Z80 ASM) code.
+ Added alias for arrays. Now you can declare:
  DIM a(10)
  DIM c at @a
! Better code generation for STORE32 and STOREF backend
! Optimized constant array assignation as a direct store.
