BSAVE/BLOAD: save and load virtual memory blocks with 0xFD-header
binary format, operating on the current DEF SEG segment.
TUI color: tui_refresh emits ANSI SGR codes from cell attributes;
COLOR statement sets tui.current_attr when TUI is active.
Extended PEEK/POKE: CGA graphics framebuffer (interlaced layout) via
gfx_cga_peek/poke routed through virmem when gfx_active(); BIOS
keyboard shift flags (offset 0x17 bit 7 = insert mode).
Add bibliography to language reference. 64 tests, all passing.
Binary SAVE/LOAD: SAVE now writes tokenized binary by default (0xFF header
format), matching original GW-BASIC behavior. SAVE "file",A for ASCII.
LOAD auto-detects binary vs ASCII from the first byte. Command-line file
loading also auto-detects, so binary .BAS files just work.
INKEY$ extended keys: arrow keys, Home/End/PgUp/PgDn, Insert/Delete, and
F1-F10 now return the correct CHR$(0) + scan_code two-byte sequences per
the IBM PC convention. Refactored event trap key parsing to use tui_read_key()
instead of duplicating escape sequence parsing.
Golden-file regression tests: generated .expected output files for 55 of 58
test programs (3 timing-dependent tests excluded). The test runner now
reports compat match status alongside pass/fail.
Classic programs: added Hamurabi, Lunar Lander, Gunner, and Diamond from
David Ahl's BASIC Computer Games (1978) in tests/classic/ for manual
compatibility testing.
Docs updated with compiler roadmap item and hardware I/O simulator plan.
Add event-driven programming: ON TIMER(n) GOSUB with TIMER ON/OFF/STOP,
ON KEY(n) GOSUB with KEY(n) ON/OFF/STOP for F1-F10. Fix F-key escape
sequence parser (F9/F10 detection, push back consumed bytes on unmatched
sequences). Add EDIT statement for TUI line editing. Guard key trap
polling so keystrokes aren't consumed when no traps are configured.
RND can now be called without parentheses (equivalent to RND(1)),
matching real GW-BASIC behavior for legacy code compatibility.
Update all Sphinx documentation pages to reflect features added in
v0.6.0-0.8.0: DATE$/TIME$/TIMER, FILES/SHELL/CHDIR/MKDIR/RMDIR,
AUTO/RENUM/DELETE, COMMON, LPRINT/LLIST with --lpt, --full TUI flag,
dynamic screen buffer, 54 tests.
Authentic GW-BASIC screen editor with 25x80 buffer, free cursor movement,
enter-on-any-line, F1-F10 function keys, Insert/Overwrite toggle, KEY
ON/OFF/LIST statement, and Ctrl+Break handling. HAL pointer swap routes
all PRINT/LIST/error output through the TUI automatically. Piped mode
unchanged (50/50 tests pass).
Adds automated compatibility testing infrastructure: DOSBox-X headless
config, PRINT-to-file transform script, and run_compat.sh with --generate
and --compare modes for verifying output against real GWBASIC.EXE.
Project renamed from gwbasic-c to GW-BASIC 2026.
