nano 1.1.2

Short:        virtual machine, assembler like language
Author:       jay-t@gmx.net (Stefan Pietzonke)
Uploader:     jay-t gmx net (Stefan Pietzonke)
Type:         dev/lang
Version:      1.1.2
Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 2.0.0
Required:     AmigaOS 2.0, ixemul library, 68020+, 2+ MB

Long:
    Nano is a portable virtual machine.

    The programming language is assembler like, but it's easy to learn.
    IMHO.

    The main features are:

    - types: byte, short int, long int, double and string.
    - arrays
    - console in-/output
      ANSI output functions: text styles, text locating, cursor moving...
    - file in-/output
    - easy to use TCP/IP
    - open source (GPL)

The manual is available in English and German.

nano (1.1.2)

updated: include/host.h, assemb/loadp.c, vm/main.c, ChangeLog (uploaded)
updated global_d.h

changed env variable handling to set defaults if not set:

NANOPROG:
OS_AMIGA || OS_AROS:
"Work:nano/prog/"

OS_LINUX:
"~/nano/prog/"

OS_WINDOWS:
"C:/nano/prog/"


NANOINC:
OS_AMIGA || OS_AROS:
"Work:nano/include/"

OS_LINUX:
"/usr/local/share/nano/include/"

OS_WINDOWS:
"C:/nano/include/"

Changed type for int to int from long, for 64 bit compatbility.
Now nano compiles as 64 bit version.

nano (1.1.1)
    * new opcodes:
    inc_ls_jmp_l, inc_lseq_jmp_l, dec_gr_jmp_l, dec_greq_jmp_l
    inc_ls_jsr_l, inc_lseq_jsr_l, dec_gr_jsr_l, dec_greq_jsr_l

    to speedup loops.

    Example:
    inc_l           L1;
    lseq_jmp_l      L1, L2, loop;

    can be replaced with:

    inc_lseq_jmp_l  L1, L2, loop;

    which is faster.

    * changed directory name to nanovm, to avoid some name confusion
    with the nano editor by the debian package stuff.
    If I do checkinstall.

      names to avoid some strange things in the assembler.

-- Stefan Pietzonke <jay-t@gmx.net>  Sun,  5 July 2009 09:50 +0200


nano (1.0.6)
    * added watchdog.c for debugging, it adds memory protection
    to all constant variables. For debugging only.

-- Stefan Pietzonke <jay-t@gmx.net>  Sat,  20 June 2009 13:07 +0200


nano (1.0.5)
    Now assembler and VM show the filenames with error messages.

    * more DEBUG printfs
      cleanup

-- Stefan Pietzonke <jay-t@gmx.net>  Wed,  14 May 2008 21:10 +0200


nano (1.0.1)
    * bugfix: assembler: lab now warns if the label was already defined.
      jumplist[i].islabel is set by opcode.c

    * change: vm/exe_main.c: input_l and input_d
      uses now fgets and sscanf for input reading.

    * bugfix: sqrt_d wanted three arguments. Changed to two and works now.

-- Stefan Pietzonke <jay-t@gmx.net>  Fri,  11 Jan 2008 20:12 +0100


nano (1.0.0)
    * new opcode: show_stack, prints the stack for debugging

    * bugfix: vm/exe_main.c: add_s uses now STRING_TMP_1 and STRING_TMP_2
      variables for temp use, to avoid possible memory overlapping by
      strcat().

    * bugfix: vm/exe_socket.c: added MSG_NOSIGNAL in exe_sread and
      exe_swrite, to avoid programm exit on SIGPIPE when other side
      of socket is closed during read/write.

      Checked on Linux.

    * bugfix: vm/exe_socket.c: exe_sread_line_string
      now breaks read, if the reading fails at first char.

      Added checking for the right range of slist_ind, the socket index,
      on all write functions. This fixes the illegal read bug.

      vm/exe_process.c: Linux code fixed

    * Manual updated

    * exe_socket.c
      Patched the Windows socket includes to use "winsock2" and "ws2tcpip.h".
      Because "socklen_t" is not declared in "winsock.h".

      Amiga: defined "socklen_t". It's not in the includes.
