v0.31

This is version 0.31 of 7800basic.

Whats new, compared to v0.30:

• feature: compression and decompression commands have been added.
• feature: two-pass compile phase. Banners and tallsprites no longer need to follow their corresponding inc* statement in your source code, to work as-expected.
• feature: "set pausesilence on" directive added, to pause and silence tracker music when pause is active.
• fix: the native tia music tracker generates spurious reads to $0000.
• fix: max shakescreen with screenheight=224 and zoneheight=8 would sometimes cause interrupts to be missed.
• fix: plotsprite4 wouldn't error-out when you plot a sprite 32 bytes wide. An error message has been added.

Whats new, compared to v0.29:

• feature: integrated project file backup added.
• feature: plotsprite4 added, for generating 4 byte DL objects.
• feature: PLOTSPRITE and PLOTSPRITE4 added, for more efficient looped sprite generation.

• fix: 7800header was sanitising mega7800 controllers on reload.
• fix: dasm updated. Inability to grow pass-buffer now handled gracefully.
• fix: plotmap causing compilation errors due to missing multiplication library.
