All releases tagged Major feature enhancements


Release Notes: This release adds support for 1wire devices (due to work being done for the 4e4th.eu project) and improves power save strategies. Furthermore, it comes with a lot more documentation on the Web site: topics like timers as well as developer tools like profiler and debugger. Some Arduino relevant enhancements are made. There are now some rudimentary compiler safety checks. Some minor bugs are fixed as well.


Release Notes: This release introduces a new shell program to access the command prompt. It has command history, command completion with tab, and full access to all registers and bits by name without filling the dictionary on the controller. The library section is restructured and expanded. Some small bugs were fixed as well.


Release Notes: This release adds the last missing word from the Forth Standard CORE Wordset: EVALUATE. Some debugger tasks like a call tracer and a profiler are available now. Optional support for unified memory addresses is added. Internal changes open the road to more features like LOCALs. A few bugs are fixed.


Release Notes: This release adds the Arduino Platform and the Atmega2561. Some internal changes give access to the platform information as environment queries. There are documentation enhancements as well.


Release Notes: This release adds experimental code for the A/B forth VM registers as discussed at EuroForth 2008. The pictured numeric output was completely rewritten and conforms to the ANS94 standard, and some internal cleanups should ease the deployment on systems with external RAM. A few bugs are fixed.


Release Notes: Amforth now enables all interrupt sources without recompilation. The Top-Of-Stack element is now stored in a register pair, which significantly increases speed. A lot of new double and mixed precision arithmetic words were added.


Release Notes: This release adds interrupt handling with forth high level words and basic multitasking support.
