CHANGELOG:

Assemblers:

v10.3 (02-Oct-2022) [ALL] Improved parser for .HEX, and added BLOCK to .HEX.
                    [ALL] "\" should now work inside strings.
                    [ALL] .MACRO calling another .MACRO, inside a namespaced
                      file, should now work.
                    [ALL] .MACRO arguments can now be put inside parentheses
                      when calling a .MACRO (e.g., "MyMacro(1, 2)").
                    [ALL] defined() can now process strings with substitution.
                    [ALL] Added an alternative way of defining a .MACRO
                      (e.g., ".macro SUM(value1,value2) isolated").
                    [ALL] Added .FUNCTION (for things like ".DB SUM(1, 2)").
                    [ALL] Multibyte .DEFINEs (e.g., "MB = $01 $00 $02") were
                      broken in v10.2.
                    [ALL] Multibyte .DEFINEs work now better inside other
                      multibyte .DEFINEs.
                    [ALL] Calculations like ">-VAR" and "2--1" work now,
                      only ">(-VAR)" and "2-(-1)" used to work before.
                    [ALL] Added -v1 and -v2 (shorter verbose levels).
                    [ALL] Changed the license to GPL-2.0-or-later.
                    [ALL] Parameters (SKIP, READ, SWAP, FSIZE and FILTER)
                      to .INCBIN can now be given in any order.
                    [ALL] Parameters (ONCE and NAMESPACE) to .INCLUDE can
                      now be given in any order.
                    [ALL] Parameters (NAME and SIZE) to .ARRAYDEFINE can
                      now be given in any order.
                    [ALL] Negative READ parameter to .INCBIN means that
                      many bytes are not read from the end of the file.
                    [ALL] WLA's ability to calculate A-B would break the
                      execution of the app if A was a definition.
                    [ALL] Added optional keywords COUNT, MIN and MAX to
                      .DBRND and .DWRND.
                    [GB ] Sometimes WLA-GB would generate unused pending
                      calculations when parsing the code, and namespaces would
                      not work in them thus breaking the linking phase.
                    [SPC] Structs should work now better with SPC-700's
                      instructions.
                    [GB ] Added flag aliases (C -> LSS and LST, NC -> GTE
                      and GEQ, NZ -> NEQ, Z -> EQU) to CALL, JP, JR and RET.
                    [Z80] Added flag aliases (C -> LSS and LST, M -> NEG,
                      NC -> GTE and GEQ, NZ -> NEQ, P -> POS, Z -> EQU) to
                      CALL, JP, JR and RET.

Linker:

v5.18 (02-Oct-2022) Added -v1 and -v2 (shorter verbose levels).
                    Pending calculations that were marked negative inside
                      pending calculations should now work.
                    Pending calculations that contain pending calculations
                      that are defined in other files should work now.
                    Big optimizations that should help linking projects with
                      lots of sections, pending calculations and/or files.
