PICOTRON VERSION HISTORY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.2.0d:
Added: rounded rectangles: rrect(x,y,w,h,radius,col) / rrectfill(...)

Added: map editor: can place multile tiles at once (shift + click & drag to select sprites)
Added: /system/demos/tinypaint.p64 -- minimal undo/redo example

Changed: gfx editor: can pick up colour with rmb or ctrl-click to search/replace regardless of selected tool
Changed: p8scii: print"\^w\^t\^=..." draws horizontal stripes (used to be the same as \^p)
Changed: filenav / desktop does not display files if initial cd() failed (for debugging disk access issues)
Changed: pal() doesn't reset the rgb display palette to system default (use pal(2) or reset())
Fixed: crash when screenshot while running a cartridge file name that is a number
Fixed: pal() not resetting changes made by palt() // dirty ram page bit not set by palt()
Fixed: palt(bitfield) sometimes modifing wrong colour table
Fixed: inverted ovalfill(), circfill() fails when width or height < 3
Fixed: some api functions are not highlighted green in code editor
Fixed: tokenoid() treats escaped quote at start of string as the closing quote
Fixed: note(100, ...) stops all sound unless a channel index is explicitly given (regression)
Fixed: print("foo",9) should behave the same as color(9) print("foo") (regression, + also fixed in terminal)
0.2.0c:
Added: colourful icons // can be disabled in settings or per-file with metadata.lowcol_icon
Added: icon editor: full colour / low-colour toggle, colourful templates, undo/redo, ctrl-click to swap a colour
Added: gui:attach_button{border=0x070e} for a 1px rounded border // colour when element has cursor in bits 0xff00
Changed: about windows have space for 3 lines of notes
Fixed: can not run sandboxed bbs carts using ctrl+r after load #foo ("can not find /ram/cart/main.lua")
Fixed: syntax error causes terminal to get stuck in a pauseable state (can't use enter)
Fixed: runtime error inside _init is not reported when corunning in terminal via CTRL+R
Fixed: text editor search box is not dismissed when pressing escape (regression: keydown event not sent from wm)
Fixed: x,y = print("\0",30,20) returns -1000000,-1000000 (should be 30,20 -- matches PICO-8 behaviour)
Fixed: opening lua files via error messages causes multiple tabs of the same file (.unique_location ignored)
0.2.0b:
Added: options sub-menu when paused allowing host fullscreen toggle
Added: export -e readme.txt foo.bin // to include files in the generated zips (can be a folder to flatten)
Added: binary exports set the host window title
Added: web exports can use fetch(stat(151).."extra.pod") to download extra files from the same location
Added: web exports: stat(150) for full window.location.ref, stat(152) for location.host, stat(153) for location.hash
Added: binary exports mount "/host_data" when a folder called "data" is found in the same path as the executable
Changed: fullscreen binary exports block wm elements & workspace switching unless window{can_escape_fullscreen=true}
Changed: exporter size limits: .p64.rom size can be 32MB (8MB for html) -- can use fetch() for more data
Changed: mac exports are now inside a folder called foo_mac in order to allow bundling extra files
Changed: exported cartridge is now mounted as /ram/expcart (was /cart, which could be mistaken for persistent storage)
Fixed: no way for binary exports to quit to host without using shortcuts (now: "Exit" means shutdown)
Fixed: info command does not show up-to-date rom size; now saves and flushes to temporary .p64.rom first
Fixed: windows that are too large to fit on desktop get stuck above the toolbar and can not easily be closed
Fixed: filenav/desktop: icon colours outside of 0,1,13,6,7 are not mapped to theme
Fixed: unmap() crashes when used on colour table memory regions
Fixed: memmap() changes on live audio data does not immediately sync with PFX6416
Fixed: pod() does not handle int64 userdata
Fixed: process 2 freezes for a long time after binary export (e.g. can't use folder command)
Fixed: widgets not loading on boot
0.2.0:
Added: binary exporters for windows, mac and 64-bit linux // > export foo.bin
Added: window icon
Changed: Anywhen does not log changes for folders ending in .bin
Changed: readme.txt is not copied to desktop for web exports (only used for bbs player)
Changed: no screensaver or wallpaper settings in exports // avoids runtime mismatches between exports
Fixed: apps lose focus after using "Reset Cartridge" from the pause menu
0.1.1f:
Added: export foo.p64.png to save a copy of working cartridge (without switching from that working cart)
Changed: only foreground process can read controller buttons
Changed: ctrl-p opens picotron menu (useless now but reserved for future)
Changed: linux uses dynamically loaded libcurl (wget no longer required), mac uses static libcurl
Fixed: load #foo sometimes fails to fetch cartridge (when no version number specified)
Fixed: batch cart downloads don't happen in parallel on mac, web (-> slow to open bbs://new/0 etc)
Fixed: not caching cart fetches under web (now cached per session, but not persisted in IndexedDB)
Fixed: system level crash when a process include()s itself (temporary hack: can't include file > 256 times)
Fixed: exported html shell does not block all keypresses when picotron app has focus (e.g. ctrl-s, ctrl-o)
Fixed: sandboxed dev cartridge can store() to self -- only /appdata and /appdata/shared should be writeable
Fixed: (regression in 0.1.1e) some gui events are not dispatched when there are multiple active guis
Fixed: hiding a button on click throws an error // https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=160440#p
0.1.1e:
Added: /system/widgets/owl.p64
Added: widgets can be installed by dragging any window into the tooltray -- stored in /appdata/system/widgets.pod
Added: bbs:// protocol // try "BBS Carts" from the Picotron menu
Added: automatic sandboxing for all bbs carts. /appdata maps to /appdata/bbs/cart_id + restrictions on send_message()
Added: files created by bbs:// carts are associated (metadata.prog) as a fallback default app to open it.
Added: open(location) // uses /system/util/open.lua -- can be used by sandboxed cartridges w/ a rate limit
Added: pitch ratios (TUNE *) can now compound and observe envelopes, RAND, multipliers, be set in ROOT.
Added: mousewheel to adjust tracker number fields / mb + wheel for inst knobs & fields. hold ctrl for +8,-8
Added: play music from a separate .sfx file: fetch("music.sfx"):poke(0x80000) music(0,0,nil,0x80000)
Added: Audio mix volume (0x5538), music mix volume (0x5539) and per-channel volume (0x553a, used by sfx()).
Added: ud:convert(type) // can convert between any type. f64 values are floored to convert to ints.
Added: ud:sort(column, desc) // to sort by a given column index and desc==true to sort largest to smallest
Added: ud:pow(), ud:sgn(), ud:sgn0(), ud:abs()
Added: ud:transpose() works on any data type
Added: diagonal flip bit + r to rotate selection in map + gfx editor. Supported by map(), but not tline3d() [yet?]
Added: gui attributes: squash_to_clip, confine_to_clip, squash_to_parent, confine_to_parent
Added: squashable windows: window{width=200,height=100,squashable=true} -- /system/demos/squashable.p64
Added: menuitem() label can be a function that returns the string
Added: screen / gif captures are named after the active window
Added: /system/screensavers/xyzine.p64 (run directly to use it interactively)
Added: desktop support for web in exports (allows exports with tabbed interfaces, gif & png captures, persist /desktop)
Changed: Per-process RAM limit is 32MB, with 16MB addressable (was 16MB, 16MB)
Changed: Userdata lookups have a separate function: ud:take(idx,...); *** ud:copy(idx,...) will be removed in 0.1.2!
Changed: Reduced number of sprite banks from 64 -> 32 (in order to make diagonal flip bit standard)
Changed: userdata:op() with no args is now a NOP for all ops except :copy; used to use self as RHS which is confusing
Changed: include() returns the results from loaded function (used to return true) -> can use module loading pattern
Changed: tweaked default palette for pairings & separation: 16,18,21,24,25,26,31
Changed: cartridge label stored in ram in qoi format (was png) for faster encoding and .p64.png mounting
Changed: default sandbox profile for bbs carts relaxed; can read /desktop, can R/W /ram/cart, can launch filenav.p64
Changed: env().title removed, env().prog_name moved to env().argv[0]
Changed: get_clipboard() can only read the host clipboard after ctrl-v is pressed inside picotron (security)
Changed: all gui callbacks always get mx,my,mb (was missing in :update)
Changed: ?vec(1/3,2,3.1E+234) prints with more precision, and integers without the fractional part (same as ?pod{...})
Changed: map editor: f,v (and now r) when nothing is selected alters the current brush; not the whole map. cursors moves camera.
Changed: pal() only charges cpu for colour tables that have changed since last call (~ 2x as fast)
Changed: escape while running a fullscreen cartridge brings up pause menu. (use alt+L/R to switch to desktop instead)
Fixed: terminal launched from another terminal sends print() output of launched programs to the parent terminal instead of self
Fixed: .p64 files still sometimes only partially stored (!) // race condition; introduced atomic disk operations for safety
Fixed: pending disk changes are not flushed when closing window immediately (<100ms) after copying / saving a cartridge
Fixed: crash when > 256 carts are mounted in one session due to unneeded cart mounts not being swept
Fixed: a:take(b2d) returns the correct shape when b is 2d, but only takes the first row of items.
Fixed: a:copy(nil, dest, ...) does not observe offsets/strides
Fixed: userdata ops with a scalar and an output e.g. a:add(3, b) -> reads from b instead of a
Fixed: mutate() does not alter dimensionality
Fixed: context menu cut / copy callbacks are broken
Fixed: carts that are folders on host (folders named foo.64) are sorted out of order by ls()
Fixed: unpod"{foo[hoge]}" crashes
Fixed: srand() only gives a different seed every second in web player (see rain in /bbs/?tid=142370)
Fixed: gui element draw() needs to exist for an element's children to be clipped and hidden
Fixed: scrollbar content is clickable outside of parents even when clip_to_parent is true
Fixed: abs(), sgn(), min(), max(), mid() are slow (using placeholder lua implementations)
Fixed: coroutine.resume() doesn't handle nested coroutines -- now just an alias for coresume()
Fixed: userdata :div(0), :idiv(0) throw an error; should behave same as regular operators (return -min,+max for that type)
Fixed: pressing space while playing an instrument (in instrument editor) triggers sfx instead of stopping instrument
Fixed: app menu sometimes appears partially outside visible desktop area (now uses confine_to_clip)
Fixed: printing strings to terminal ending in \0 does not surpress "newline" // e.g. print("abc\0")print("def")
Fixed: unpod() always returning floats for numbers stored as integers // ?unpod(pod(3)) -> 3.0, should be 3
Fixed: tline3d flags in batch operation are ignored
Fixed: The main instrument tune knob in the sfx editor does not work as expected when set to multiply by just ratios
Fixed: Sandboxed carts grant read access to the folder they are inside
Fixed: File dropped from host produces drop_items message without mx, my set (now always center of active window)
Fixed: Wallpaper process sometimes set as active window (should be uninteractive except for mouse x,y,wheel_* events)
Fixed: New Cart produces a completely empty cart folder; should match the default cart with main.lua, gfx/, sfx/, map/
Fixed: Fill tool cursor is broken in gfx editor
Fixed: ctrl-r, ctrl-m causes key("r"), key("m") to be true in active window
Fixed: escape halts currently running pwc (run with ctrl-r) when not in that workspace
Fixed: program corun in terminal can clobber env(), causing subsequent terminal commands to crash (ref: #picovania)
Fixed: shift-ctrl-r broken // runs the file in the code editor and jumps back to output without restarting program
Fixed: note() is sometimes delayed or has no audible effect on a channel that was previously used by sfx()
Fixed: instrument playback logic is broken; should be able to hold, but also to stop long-tail instruments & tracks/music
Fixed: pause menu doesn't close after selected item and callback returns falsey value
Fixed: button state persists after closing pause menu (now: each button is ignored until released)
Fixed: ord() with a negative number of items freezes
Fixed: circ(x,y,rad) with no colour parameter is a NOP (should draw with current draw colour)
0.1.1d:
Added: batch gfx operations for pset,circfill,rectfill,tline3d,spr // many draws with a single function call
Added: /system/demos/pixeldust.p64 // demos batch draw operations
Added: userdata:lerp(offset, len, el_stride, num_lerps, lerp_stride)
Added: userdata:copy(idx, ...) to perform a copy using idx as a lookup table
Added: desktop file items close together form stacks (use mousewheel to flip through)
Added: new context menu structure and items: create, load carts / cut,copy,paste / open cartridge contents
Added: mouse(new_x, new_y) to warp mouse position // not supported under web [yet]
Added: filenav: shift-click in list or grid mode for range selection
Added: filenav list mode: show non-cart folders first with icons
Changed: some vm inst cost only 1 cycle instead of 2 (same as PICO-8: add, sub, bitwise ops, load*, move, unm)
Changed: ls() returns non-cart folders first, is case-insensitive, and sorts by numeric values first
Changed: mousewheel events are passed to the window under the cursor (used to be the active window)
Fixed: memcpy() freezes when len < 4
Fixed: i64 userdata indexed writes have no effect // a = userdata("i64",64) a[0] = 3
Fixed: drawing filled shapes completely outside of clip rectangle sometimes crashes under web (causes illegal read)
Fixed: undercharging cpu for shapes partially clipped horizontally
Fixed: overcharging cpu when expensive operation falls near the end of a process slice
Fixed: host screensaver is blocked while Picotron is running // now using SDL_HINT_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER
Fixed: fetch("http://..") fails // regression in 0.1.1c -- was handling only https
Fixed: gif capture: frame delta is wrong when scanline palette (0x5400) changes
Fixed: music fade in/out speed is slower than requested (was updating once per mix instead of once per tick)
Fixed: filenav list mode: context menu not updated after right-clicking file
Fixed: filenav list mode: file modified date missing (now loads from pod metadata when available)
Fixed: filenav grid mode: when showing many files in grid mode, start to get visual junk
Fixed: unnecessarily large mix buffer size (regression in 0.1.1c -- made sound triggering / tracker feel laggy)
Fixed: matmul functions fail when output is same as input (because clobbering input data as generate output)
Fixed: map editor sprite navigator showing sprites from wrong bank
Fixed: /desktop/readme.txt stored in binary format by 0.1.1b (0.1.1d now re-saves in host-readable txt format)
Fixed: ctrl-r in html exports drops to terminal (is meant to reset cartridge)
Fixed: .p64.png inside an .p64 is listed twice by ls() (and so filenav, ls command etc)
Fixed: panning position is not reset when audio channel is killed
Fixed: default instrument 0 data not initialised for new process (relies on loading a default .sfx before using note())
Fixed: when opening a file in host and in fullscreen, result of the action is not visible (now minimizes self)
Fixed: pulldown menu: parent.onclose is not called (causes e.g. extra click needed for focus after using context menu)
Fixed: renaming a file on desktop causes it to jump around
Fixed: renaming a file via menu drops the original extension when not specified
0.1.1c
Added: inverted drawing for rectfill,circfill,ovalfill // set bit 0x800000000 in col parameter
Added: ud:mutate(type, width, height) to change the type / size of a userdata object

Added: desktop snap to grid POC -- turn on with: store("/appdata/system/filenav.pod", {snap_to_grid=true})
Added: /system/demos/birds.p64 // demos /ram/shared/windows.pod subscription pattern + transparent window
Added: integer divide for f64 userdata // ?vec(-3.1,3.1,5.9) \ 1 --> (-4.0,3.0,5.0)
Added: sfx(-2, channel_index) to hard kill a channel (leftover state like echos / decay are cut short)
Added: shift-delete, ctrl-insert, shift-insert shortcuts in code editor to cut, copy and paste
Added: userdata :max :min // returns the largest / smallest of each element
Optimised: faster path for shape hspans where span_w >= 16, (window_w&0x7)==0, target_mask==0 (~6M pixels / frame @60fps)
Optimised: filenav (uses cached render at rest), squishy windows, process blitting used by wm
Changed: /ram/shared/windows.pod is published by wm every frame
Changed: mouse cursor position is clamped to display region in host fullscreen (can hide at bottom right pixel)
Changed: stat(400+chan_index, 12) returns -1 when sfx is not playing.
Changed: sfx() offset can be negative to create a delay of n rows before notes are issued
Changed: sfx() channel selection prefers channel 8~15 to reduce accidental clobbering when music starts
Changed: Debug is not available to sandboxed programs
Fixed: event handling and menus breaks when using a custom mainloop; "vid(0)::_::flip()goto _" now works
Fixed: menuitem{id="rename"} does not remove item from menu
Fixed: menuitem() calls from non-active windows clobbering app menu (was affecting filenav)
Fixed: icons missing on drive.loc and readme.txt after fresh install
Fixed: capture.p64 doesn't respect video mode
Fixed: p8scii control character \^c missing -- \^d, \a is still missing, but probably won't support in Picotron
Fixed: filenav menu shows file ops for a single file when multiple files are selected (confusing)
Fixed: nil + vec(1) hard crashes // nil values should be treated as 0 for userdata ops
Fixed: dormant music channels that become active are played up to one mix buffer out of sync (erf!)
Fixed: text input buffer spills into textfield when it becomes active ~ should clear on gaining focus
Fixed: tracker playback following is broken when first track is empty, or when gui play button is used
Fixed: pressing enter in tracker should clear selection or insert a row otherwise, but not both
Fixed: ctrl-c to copy patterns in tracker cuts them
Fixed: off by 1 when blitting process displays to negative positions // causes red pixel in corner of squishy windows
Fixed: "picotron -home foo" host crashes when foo doesn't exist
Fixed: wrangle.lua crashes when opening legacy pods that do not have .revision in metadata
Fixed: gif encoder leaves inter-frame junk for colour 63 when using scanline display palette 3
Fixed: read mask not applied for non-aligned spans while drawing shapes with target mask == 0
Fixed: tonum(bool) doesn't return 0 or 1 (PICO-8 behaviour)
Fixed: mousewheel message is propagated to parent of scrollbox (should consume)
Fixed: Unable to send small number between processes // was happening for values serialised with scientific notation
Fixed: default tab width doesn't line up with monospace font ._.
0.1.1b

Fixed: filenav is slow with many / large files // improved fstat(), fetch_metadata()
Fixed: segfault when too many ord() results

Fixed: reading a cartridge as a file (fetch"foo.p64") immediately after its content changes returns the older version
Fixed: screenshots do not observe scaneline palette
Fixed: time() is wrong when battery saver is active
Fixed: removed EXIT from pause menu when running in BBS player
Fixed: stale audio ram mixed after poking to unmapped pages (is supposed to mark as dirty and send to pfx6416)
Fixed: slide effects use same keys as SFX navigation (-, +) --> should block navigation when cursor is in fx channel!

Fixed: arpeggios a-00, b-00 producing high-pitched when group of 4 contains empty rows
Fixed: stereo mixing broken under web
0.1.0h

Changed: foldback uses a more usual triangle function instead of cosine (sounds similar, but less harmonic junk)
Changed: many cpu accounting adjustments to get closer to real-world cost
Optimised: transparent window blits (filenav.p64 on desktop), and pal() calls use less host cpu
Fixed: crash when blit()ing to a region outside the target, but partially inside source userdata (0.1.0g fix was incomplete)
Fixed: thread contention slowing down tracker while playing music in pattern mode on low end machines
Fixed: text editor: doesn't handle trailing newline in selection
Fixed: text editor: cursor x position is lost when moving across short lines
Fixed: text editor: shift-tab on selection does nothing when line starts with spaces instead of tabs
Fixed: can't use file wrangler from /ram/cart; e.g. file open -> filenav launches terminal instead of /ram/cart
Fixed: when saving a cart with ctrl+S, files deleted in /ram/cart are not also removed from the rewritten .p64
Fixed: window{pauseable=false} doesn't disable pausing on Enter for fullscreen apps
Fixed: changing draw target or display size does not release the old userdata for garbage collection
Fixed: palt() ignores single integer parameter (is means to act as a 64-bit bitfield)
Fixed: tline3d crash on tiles that use flip bits // now supports tile flipping
Fixed: map editor slow when zoomed out and/or there are more than a few layers
Fixed: can not assign integer userdata element to a real number using flat indexing // get_draw_target()[0] = 9.1
Fixed: matmul cpu cost is wrong for large matrices (was charging for only w*h multiplies instead of w*h*h)

Fixed: userdata:tranpose() broken for non-square matrices
Fixed: f64 userdata loses its data type on copy (as reported by :attribs())
Fixed: resetting a cartridge from the pause menu sometimes kills it
Fixed: doubletap / doubleclick message firing even when two clicks are far apart
Fixed: global mute setting not observed
Fixed: (web) multiple webaudio mixer on reset / open multiple carts in one bbs thread (causes speedup / glitches)

Fixed: several types of crackles / discontinuities in audio mixer, mostly relating to echo nodes
Fixed: SFXs 64 and above are not initialised to "empty" (instead, zeroed data that shows up as C0's)

Added: drag and drop host files into picotron (copied to /ram/drop -- not mounted) -> generates a "drop_items" message
Added: drop a png into gfx editor to load it (colour fits to current display palette)
Added: filenav: open files or folder on host via app menu ("View in Host OS")
Added: can fetch .p64 host files directly as binary strings // same semantics as fetching "https://...foo.p64"
Added: PICO-8 style string indexing; ?("abcde")[4] --> "d" ?("abcde")[02] --> nil
