- Over 450 commits.
- The completion of INT 21h emulation, along with a comprehensive test suite that verifies the interrupt interface layer on top of the DOS kernel.
- Maturation of the DOS kernel's file I/O layer, including, to some degree, the Short File Names support for non-Windows platforms.
- File I/O support in the QuickBASIC parser & interpreter.
- Lots of IDE bugs fixed. Lots still remain, I'm sure (as well as gaps).
- Improved number formatting & parsing.
- Conversion of numbers to/from strings (CVI, MKL$, etc.), including to/from MBF binary representation for floats (CVSMBF, etc.).
- Help file parsing & display (I don't distribute the HLP files, but if you give it the files from the QB71 distribution, it'll display them.)
- On that note, contextual help for menus and implemented dialogs, and F1 to jump to the topic for the word under the cursor.
- Partial support for having files loaded that aren't part of the project source (such as .TXT files).
- Event registration & dispatch.
- Proper handling of error handlers and event handlers in cross-module situations.
- New core dialogs, such as the F2 "SUBs" dialog.
- One small but key detail in line parsing/formatting: End-of-line comments stay at the column they're at unless the reformatted code bumps them to the right.
- Support for "pinning" variables to memory locations (VARSEG/VARPTR, SSEG/SADD) so that buffers can be passed to interrupts, etc.
- BLOAD/BSAVE support.
- COMMON blocks for sharing variables between modules in a multi-module program.
- Proper segregation of namespaces between modules, including allowing SUBs and FUNCTIONs to be declared with differing but semantically-identical TYPEs.
- VARPTR$() for "X" PLAY and DRAW commands.
- VGA ROM font at segment F000.
- Starting SUBs and FUNCTIONs by typing the opening line.
- STATIC variables & SUBs.
- Identifier canonicalization.
So, you know. A few things. :-)
