PICO-8 v0.2.3 compatiblity roadmap

[samhocevar]

• Added: Lucky draw list in splore -- gives a random selection of carts
• Added: load/save carts in .p8.rom format (raw binary 32k block)
• Added: tostr(), tonum() take format_flags parameter to convert to and from 32-bit signed ints
• Added: ord(str, pos, num) returns num results starting from character at pos (similar to peek)
• Added: FOLDER takes an optional parameter to open other host directories: BACKUPS | DESKTOP | CONFIG | BBS
• Added: Live character / token count of selected text shown at bottom right of code editor
• Changed: Removed collaboration list from splore (can still search for sub:collab)
• Changed: 0x808 audio has a slight lpf filter on it by default // turn off by setting bit 0x20 at 0x5f36
• Changed: tonum(boolean_value) returns 1 or 0 instead of nil
• Changed: cursor CR x position set only by print(str,x,y) or cursor(), but not by print(str) (0x5f24)
• Changed: character wrap is on by default when using print(str)
• Changed: force-pause-menu hold duration is 500ms instead of 300ms to prevent accidentally triggering it
• Changed: default gif length for new install is 16 seconds
• Changed: ? shorthand can be used anywhere on a line e.g. if (true) ?"yes"
• Changed: allow while/if shorthand with no statement, using colon separator: WHILE(BTN()==0);
• Changed: added warning to fullscreen_method 2 in config.txt (gives erratic behaviour under some drivers)
• Changed: cheaper OP_MOVE, OP_UNM lua vm instructions so that e.g. "local a=0-b" is not faster than "local a=-b"
• Fixed: peek*() / poke*() do not charge extra cpu when reading or writing multiple values
• Fixed: fget(n) returns junk when n is out of range (0..255); should return 0 in that case
• Fixed: dropped .PNG files not detected as images when filename uses uppercase extension
• Fixed: line()/tline() illegal writes caused by faulty clipping when (x1-x0) or (y1-y0) >= 0x8000
• Fixed: -accept_future 1 only worked with .p8.png files; now also applies to .p8
• Fixed: ?"\a7f" does not play f (happens only when f is the first note)
• Fixed: abs(0x8000) return 0x0.0001 (should be 0x7fff.ffff)
• Fixed: parameter string (stat(6)) is dropped when passed via RUN command
• Fixed: preprocessing of form: "x += x<0 and -1 or 1" broken for operators <, >
• Fixed: tab not accepted as whitespace for some preprocessor operations
• Fixed: stat(1) wraps around when cpu is >= 2.0 (regression in 0.2.2)
• Fixed: pressing SHIFT+ENTER on "local function foo()" or after "if (..) else" doesn't insert "end"
• Fixed: pal() does not reset secondary palette to system default
• Fixed: 0x808 audio does not respect pausing / volume / is not recorded with extcmd("audio_rec")
• Fixed: 'h' pressed in sprite editor toggles hex mode in map editor
• Fixed: After pressing shift-tab to toggle 128x128 map view, active draw area is still only 128x112
• Fixed: Attempt to navigate to non-existant tab after running: function _update60() _update60=nil end
• Fixed: stat(101) not returning cart id when running from BBS web player
• Fixed: print() wrapping + scrolling; e.g. from commandline: while(true) print(chr(254+rnd(2)).."\0")
• Fixed: integer divide assignment operator (=) costs 2 tokens instead of 1
