cleanup of resource cache tempfiles
- BeOS - fixed video.cpp and sound.cpp to use SubsetIO
- GetResourceParameters() in heres.c now calls strupr() on filename
if it's a resource file (since these are forced to all-caps in
the compiler)
v3.0.01/v2.5.03 (25-Jul-00)
---------------
- Consolidated v3.0/v2.5 code bases to remove v3.0's beta status

- Compiler can now optionally produce an objectfile even with errors
v2.5.02a (6-May-00)
--------
- Win32 - now recognizes VK_APPS (the application menu key)
- Unix/BeOS - Compiler now properly parses @resource=... paths
- Better handling for command-line #settings; both case-sensitivity
(in CompilerSet) and presets (ParseCommand)
- Fixed non-error on illegal use of 'number' token
- Fixed superfluous "...needs more than one parameter" compiler error
- Squashed elusive dropped letters in some printed strings
- Win32 - Alt+F4, and the close box verify before closing the engine
- Win32 - Last non-looping sample doesn't play when focus returns
- Safer array writing (and property values, object numbers, etc.)
- Built hes.exe (simple text-based 16-bit DOS engine) for use with
speech software

clip in the background (looping, if desired)

- Win32 - fixed improper sizing of video frames
v2.5.02 (22-Feb-00)
-------
- Compiler's DefEnum() caused errors on explicit "enumerate globals"
or "enumerate constants"
- BeOS - Added character-encoding selection option and full-screen mode
- In Kent's ports, a mouse-click now passes keycode=1 to
hugo_keywaiting(); also sets display.cursor_column and
display.cursor_row
- Also in Kent's ports, fixed hugo_getline() so that it doesn't
call hugo_scrollwindowup() unless we're at the window bottom
- Glk - Half-fixed hugo_settextpos putting things off-screen with
positioning based on display.screenheight and screenwidth
- Removed usage of global 'z' from both heheader.h and hcheader.h
(meaning a fairly thorough rewrite of some sections)
- Rewrote heheader.h and hcheader.h for brevity and clarity
- Added better compile-time checking to property value syntax
- Occasional usage of a local __selectvar in compiling select-case
for proper working of random(), ++, etc.
- Tweaked the debugger's runaway-loop watchdog to reset on 'pause'
statements
- Snazzy new icons for BeOS, Win32, Unix, and whoever else wants them
- Fixed an array-element parsing problem in heexpr.c (with inobj)
- Fix so that positioning on the lowest line in a window clears the
"MORE" prompt count
- Better compiler label checking in DefOther()
- Better compiler argument checking for built-ins (such as string()
and dict()) in CodeLine()
- Fixed compiler error exit code reporting (for front-ends like
hcwin.exe)
- wxWindows - Now links dynamically to libmikmod instead of statically
- Win32 - Context menus now track either mouse button
- "text to <array>" printing now always appends a terminating zero
(without advancing the textto index)
- Win32 - v2.5 now uses old non-DirectSound audio; v3.0 currently and
inexplicably needs a debug-built libmik.lib to overcome hissy
DirectSound playback
v2.5.01f (9-Feb-00)
--------
(Released only for the Win32 package of Guilty Bastards)
v2.5.01e (7-Jan-00)
--------
- Fixed a bug in the linker that would overflow when reading the
text bank (because performaddr was getting missed)
- Added "'move' requires 'to'" compiler error
- Win32 - fixed LCC-Win32 makefiles and source to allow compiling of
v2.5 with LCC-Win32 as well as MSVC++
- Fixed a disambiguation problem where, on a "Which...do you mean?"
parser question, a parser error message might be printed before
proper processing
- wxWindows - Torbjorn Andersson fixed where the file selector
dialogs were displaying only directories
- Unix - removed drv_raw loading from MikMod to avoid massive
music.raw file dumps when the sound device is unavailable
v2.5.01d (4-Dec-99)

accompanying library 2.5.01.4 (and also changed the library so

noticeable on Win32?)
- more fixes to non-Latin character handling

v2.5.01b (9-Aug-99)

- fixed glitch where saved games wouldn't restore if byte 0 or 1 of
the game header is zero
- pressing '+' at the [MORE...] prompt during command playback skips
further prompting
- Win32 - fixed/uglified the sound factory for better NT support and
performance
