 *   Symbolic constants can be defined with the `const` keyword, and can
     be used in most places where literal values can be used.
-*   Specifying multiple SixtyPical source files will produce a single
-    compiled result from their combination.
 *   Added `nop` opcode, which compiles to `NOP` (mainly for timing.)
 *   Accessing zero-page with `ld` and `st` generates zero-page opcodes.
+*   A `byte` or `word` table can be initialized with a list of constants.

 *   Rudimentary support for Atari 2600 prelude in a 4K cartridge image,
     and start of an example program in `eg/atari2600` directory.
