BASIC compiler: AQB 0.8.1
By his compiler AQB, Günter Bartsch aims to implement a modern, clean, Amiga compatible and future-proof BASIC that is geared to, but no clone of Microsoft's AmigaBASIC and QuickBASIC, respectively.
After last week's release of version 0.8.0, which included a source level debugger, the author elaborates on the new version 0.8.1 (detailed changelog):
"I've been working on AQB a bit more after there was a lot of feedback on the different channels - starting of course
from the amiga-news forum to people making YouTube videos about AQB. I have now released a first update for the 0.8.x series - there are a few new commands and features, but there are also important bugfixes for AmigaOS 3.2 and RTG users.
This is also accompanied by editor improvements, most notably the editor now uses the text font set via preferences instead of stubbornly using its own / preset fonts. This is a side effect of the RTG renderer - the previous text renderer could only handle 8 bit wide fonts (still used with these on native screen), while the new RTG renderer can handle arbitrary fonts (but is slower on native
Amigas on planar screen is slower)." (dr)
