|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Changes in zmac 1.1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Fixed the nasty assumption that filenames were never more than 14
|
||
|
|
chars (which was *never* valid, as filenames can include the path to
|
||
|
|
the file).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Error reports now conform to the canonical format for compilers and
|
||
|
|
the like (as the GNU coding standards put it,
|
||
|
|
"SOURCE-FILE-NAME:LINENO: MESSAGE"). This is a lot more sensible
|
||
|
|
than the previous OVERALL-LINENO: MESSAGE\nERROR-LINE\n (and means
|
||
|
|
you can easily jump to errors when using Emacs' `M-x compile'), but
|
||
|
|
you can get SOURCE-FILE-NAME:LINENO: MESSAGE\nERROR-LINE\n if you
|
||
|
|
use the `-S' option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Now supports GNU-ish `--help' and `--version' options.
