CHANGELOG:

Assemblers:

v10.4 (24-Nov-2022) [ALL] If a value is .DEFINEd later in the same source file
                      than used in a pending calculation, WLA can now solve
                      the pending calculation before exporting it to WLALINK.
                    [ALL] Added .SEEDRANDOM (seeds random number generator
                      with current time -> random).
                    [ALL] Added built-in functions min(a,b), max(a,b),
                      random(min,max), sqrt(a), abs(a), cos(a), sin(a), tan(a),
                      acos(a), asin(a), atan(a), atan2(a,b), cosh(a), sinh(a),
                      tanh(a), log(a), log10(a), pow(a,b), sign(a) and
                      clamp(value,min,max).
                    [ALL] When a built-in function was called with a negative
                      sign the sign was ignored sometimes.
                    [ALL] Floating point values can be given to a .MACRO as
                      arguments and accessed via 1 etc., they are not rounded to
                      integers any more. Previously only named args would work
                      without rounding.
                    [ALL] When using a .FUNCTION the result was rounded to
                      an integer - not any more.
                    [ALL] .FUNCTION body can now be a single argument.
                    [ALL] Built-in (and .FUNCTION) arguments can now be put on
                      multiple lines.
                    [ALL] We now use ANSI C's tmpfile() to create tmp files.
                      This should allow multiple concurrent instances of WLA to
                      run in the same directory at the same time.
                    [ALL] When using -M, if you specify -o or -l later on the
                      command line you can output an object or a library file
                      at the same time. Disable file generation with -t.
                    [ALL] A calculation can be split into multiple lines if the
                      last symbol on the line is a '+', '-', '*'. etc.
                    [ALL] Unnamed .STRUCTs inside other .STRUCTs don't generate
                      _paddingof_* definitions any more.
                    [ALL] Pending calculations work now as macro arguments.
                    [ALL] Fixed INSTANCEOF in .ENUM when .STRUCT used SIZE
                      (WLA doesn't generate bytes in that case any more).
                    [ALL] Negating pending calculations inside parentheses inside
                      pending calculations ignored the sign.
                    [ALL] Negating calculations inside parentheses should now
                      work in every case.
                    [ALL] Dotted .INSTANCEOF works now in .ENUMs.

Linker:

v5.19 (24-Nov-2022) WLALINK turned doubles into ints too early in computing
                      pending calculations on some cases thus losing
                      precision.
