Glass Z80 assembler 0.6

Glass is a cross-platform assembler for the Z80 processor. It’s been five years since the last release, but in the meanwhile a fair number of improvements have been building up. Since more and more people started to use development builds, it was about time for a new proper release!

What’s new in Glass 0.6:

• The $ prefix can now be used for hexadecimal numbers.
• Symbols can no longer start with the $ character (bc).
• The org pseudo-op now supports values outside the 0-FFFFH range.
• Labels are now associated with the next following mnemonic.
• Arguments now look up in their instruction’s parent scope.
• Comments can now be added to expressions spanning multiple lines.
• Fixed bug where includes sometimes needed a subdirectory in their path.
• Fixed bug where member lookups sometimes included the parent scopes.
• Macro definition symbol offsets are now included in the symbol file.
• Symbols with integer equ values are now included in the symbol file.
• Fixed erroneous symbol redefinition error for nested directives.
• Ternary ?: expression operands which don’t evaluate no longer throw errors.
• Improved handling of labels in if directives.
• The db, dw and dd pseudo-ops now flatten nested sequences.
• It is now possible to index into a string with the [] operator.
• The line and column numbers in errors are now 1-based as is conventional.
• A listing of the assembled source code can now be generated.
• The >>> unsigned shift right operator is now supported.
• The ' character can now be written as '' in character literals.
• The " character can now be written as "" in string literals.
• Documented the end directive, supported since the initial release.
• The source file encoding is changed from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
