1.06.9

Adds a bug fix for an error running long programs that crept in when a program parsing cleanup was made!

• 1.06.6
  • correct wrong testbench error message on unexpected subroutine return or normal return
  • correct identical registers wrongly allowed in LDM/STM register lists
  • correct parse error in DCD value lists with unary - prefixed by space
• 1.06.7
  • correct implementation of testbench PERSISTENTREGS
  • further development of testbench code
• 1.06.8
  • make PERSISTENTREGS work as expected on inputs, make random numbers deterministic
  • give parse error on LDM/STM with index register in register list (will lead to undefined results if used)

• Fix bug in stack visualisation where BLS, BLO breaks this

• Add run menu with goto step number, goto next branch, goto next return, run tests

• Add testbench functionality

  • Testbenches when loaded contain multiple tests
  • each test can set up inputs, including memory, and check outputs, including memory
  • All tests can be run (with results displayed in testbench file
  • A single test can be started from run menu - allowing manual testing with input data from test
  • see help -> testbenches for documentation

• 1.06.2

  • fix bug where invalid register names in { } lists are ignored
  • move all alerts and confirms to vex.js format
  • rename run menu as test menu

• 1.06.5

  • add features to test benches
  • add cycle time display and tooltip help
  • add stall cycle output to parse, use this to calculate cycle time

Bug fix for forward referenced symbols in some cases not being resolved.

• 1.05.0 New features

  • reverse memory window
  • show SP in memory window
  • show stack frames in memory window

• Minor fixes and enhancements

  • fix lowercase shift spec not working
  • focus on editor window after emulator reset

• 1.05.2

  • fix bad bug in LDM where tooltips cause emulator crash single-stepping
  • fix minor bug where lower-case scaled offsets did not work

Continuing minor bug fixes..

• CS/CC syntax highlighting added
• 1.04.4 Vastly improved error messages LDR/STR syntax errors
• 1.04.4 Small fix to errors: word immediate offsets now forced to be divisible by 4, as well as word effective addresses
• 1.04.5 fixes to LDR/STR with PC as base register, allow symbolic offsets in LDR/STR
• 1.04.6
  • fixes lowercase dcd,dcb,adr,fill
  • adds error in case of literal constants larger than 2^32
• 1.04.7
  • fixes additional lowercase bug
  • fixes non-persistent path

• Add error with good error message when duplicate labels exist in code

• Alter UI:

  • step button appearance
  • swap position of forward and backward step to be consistent with Visual and more intuitive,

• fix issue where rotated literals are only recognised if written in unsigned form

• fix hover error detection for FILL, ADR etc

Fix bug processing network paths that prevents file opening on Windows 7
Fix pop-up message advising version change is needed on start-up
Fix incomplete reset issue single-stepping changed code.

Various small feature improvements from 1.01:

• undefined symbol errors
• shift errors
• documentation windows

release notes

This is the final planned release before widespread use in Autumn Term. Minor bug-fix updates are however expected before October.
