- The upgrade price (from 5.10) is $109. The manual (which was the
- weakest point of the old compiler) has been completely rewritten, and
- important parts of the documentation are now available online.
-
- CPR is much more powerfull.
-
- There's now a peephole optimizer.
-
- The global optimizer has made it into the 90s.
-
- There are two command line drivers; one backwards compatable with
- 5.10, one using AmigaDOS arguments.
-
- The arguments/options file interactions is now sane.
-
- The list goes on (and on and on and on)..
-
- I haven't seen the actual package yet, but suspect that it's going to
- be well worth the $109 price.
