This is a preliminary update to all disks in the library, along with documentation up to the hires collection. This is simply to make sure the library is backed up; the complete rewrite of the library will be coming after the speaker routines are finished along with the rest of the documentation.
- added cycle and byte count comments
- additionally added status flag clobbering comments
- wrote beginning of final documentation form in markdown for disk 1: REQUIRED
- consolidated macros and subroutines on disk 1
- created alias macros for 65C02, 8080, and Z80 architectures
- entirely rewrote and expanded documentation for disk 1
- rewrote disk 1 demo file to use fewer bytes by using comments instead of _PRN statements
- implemented a software architeture that will span across all libraries in the collection
- added .ASM extension to text sources to help with file attribution on contemporary systems
- slightly modified the naming convention for EXEC files
- fixed minor errors
- getting ready for major changes for 0.6.0.
- be sure to download the 0.5.0 release to ensure proper functionality, as these rountines will not work together in the SRC or BIN folder during the transition
- Beginning to significantly alter documentation
Added lores subroutines and macros, as well as most of the documentation for it. You will not find documentation for the library yet in the quick reference area.
At this point, it is likely that I will be going back to revisit older disks in order to do more optimization, make some strategic file name changes, and add extra subroutines/macros to each library. More content will be added to the documentation as well in order to accomodate multiple audiences.
After that, we will be moving to version 0.6.0, at which point the speaker library and the hires library will be added.
- massive overhaul of architecture
- first round of optimizations
- first draft of the technical manual for the entire library
- reorganization of directory structure
