Euphoria Version 1.3
May 19, 1995
Release Notes
-------------------------
We've made a lot of improvements since version 1.2 was released a year ago.
Here are the highlights:
* You can now edit multiple files using multiple edit windows.
Type: Esc c to create an extra edit window.
Euphoria files are now edited with tab=4 (you can change to a different
tab setting if you like). This makes indenting your program easier.
A case-insensitive search option and several other usability features were
added.
"Hot keys" are now used for most commands - you don't press Enter.
* The following new library routines have been added
(see doc\library.doc):
sprintf
value
read_bitmap
wildcard_match
wildcard_file
display_image
save_image
display_text_image
save_text_image
get_display_page
set_display_page
get_active_page
set_active_page
get_position
wait_key
all_palette
upper
lower
int_to_bits
bits_to_int
* The following routines were improved:
scroll -- extra parameters
rand -- extra range of values
pixel, get_pixel -- high-performance sequence of pixels option
* A new improved version (1.97) of the DOS4GW DOS extender is being used.
* New utilities and demo programs:
search -- lets you search your disk using wildcards for both
the files to search, and the string-patterns to
find
stereo.ex -- displays 3-D random dot stereo pictures
bitmap.ex -- displays .BMP picture files
* The trace screen now has color syntax highlighting. It also displays
both numbers and corresponding ASCII characters where appropriate on
the variable display. The ex.err file also shows ASCII characters.
* The Reference Manual was split into refman.doc and library.doc. The
descriptions of the library routines are more detailed and include more
examples.
* There were numerous other small improvements.
* Compatibility with v1.2: Programs written for v1.2 will run using v1.3,
except that you will need to add a couple of parameters to any calls to
scroll(). Also note that the "profile" command has been removed. Now you can
specify "with profile" and the ex.pro output file will be created
automatically when your program terminates. You no longer ask for it by
saying "profile".
* Files removed: bin\walkdir.ex and bin\grep.ex have been replaced by the new
search.ex. demo\dice.ex has been dropped. The demo\learn subdirectory
is gone, but a simpler learn.ex is now in demo.
Enjoy!
