Metacompiler: PortablE r5
Christopher Handley's metacompiler PortablE translates the Amiga specific programming language E into different languages. Windows, AmigaOS 3/4, AROS and MorphOS are supported.
Changes in version r5:
- Experimental MorphOS support (for C++), including MOS executables! MUI seems to work
- Modules provided by others for AHI, CD_Play, FreeDB, MPEGA & some MUI bits
- PortablE is up to 65% faster than before
- PortablE's memory usage has been halved! Now similar to GCC's
- MUI programs with custom classes can now be compiled by AmiDevCpp for OS3
- Added emulation of AmigaE's ! (floating-point) operator to the compatibility mode
- FastNew is implemented using an enhanced TLSF algorithm, greatly reducing memory usage
- Programs produced by PortablE run faster, and PEGCC produces smaller executables
- Lists are now truely stack-allocated, rather than being dynamically faked
- Implemented the missing string formatting codes (\l, \r, \z, [w] & (x,y)) for C++
- For speed, multi-threading support is now disabled unless you use OPT MULTITHREADED
- Directory scanning is now much more robust on Windows
- Improved documentation; clickable links, added bold/etc & special characters now visible
- More examples of portable code
- Various bug fixes
Download-Tool: wget 1.12 for AmigaOS 3/4
Diego Casorran has published new ports of the download tool wget:
- URLs in file's comments are now unescaped (eg: %7e -> ~)
- For the first time, added an AmigaOS4 build.
- Compiled using OpenSSL 1.0.0-beta4, download it from
amiga.sourceforge.net if you want SSL support
in Wget - OS4 users need to have AmiSSL installed
