CHANGELOG:

Assemblers:

v10.6 (19-Nov-2023) [ALL] Conditions (e.g., "(A > 1 || B < 3)") can now be used
                      everywhere, outside .IFs.
                    [ALL] It's not any more possible to create labels and
                      definitions called "_b" and "_f" as they are reserved names.
                    [ALL] A definition and a label cannot any more share the same
                      name inside a source file for the sake of clarity.
                    [ALL] Added -MP for generating phony targets with -M.
                    [ALL] Added -MF for specifying a file to write the
                      dependencies to with -M.
                    [ALL] Added -c for continuing parsing after encountering an
                      unknown symbol or a mistyped instruction.
                    [ALL] Added -w for disallowing labels without a colon terminator.
                    [ALL] Added FILTERSIZE and FREADSIZE to .INCBIN.
                    [ALL] Namespace was added in some instances to a local label.
                    [ALL] Removed namespace propagation to unnamespaced .MACROs.
                    [ALL] Labels generated by a .MACRO inside an .INCLUDEd and
                       namespaced file have now namespace added to them.
                    [ALL] Added .WHILE.
                    [ALL] Added .CONTINUE and .BREAK that work with
                      .REPEAT/.REPT/.WHILE.
                    [ALL] Changed tmpfile creation on WIN32.
                    [ALL] It's now possible to put multiple instructions on the
                      the same line by separating them with "  " (whitespace here
                      is important).
                    [ALL] WLA would crash calculating A-B if A was function(L)
                      where L is a label.
                    [ALL] .STRINGMAPTABLE uses now .INCDIR.
                    [ALL] .STRINGMAP and .STRINGMAPTABLE handle now special
                      characters like "n" properly.
                    [ALL] WLA assembles now "WLAl" object files.
                    [ALL] The assembler has now a limited ability to find the
                      address of a label if the label is outside .SECTIONs or
                      inside FORCE and OVERWRITE .SECTIONs and the label is
                      defined lexically before it is referenced.
                    [ALL] Added -p (and -SX and -SY) for pausing the assembler
                      after a screen full of text has been printed to output.
                    [Z80] Added BASEADDRESS to .SMSHEADER.
                    [Z8N] Added support for Z80N.

Linker:

v5.21 (19-Nov-2023) WLALINK writes now version 3 WLA symbol files.
                    Symbol files created with -S contain now [sections] and
                      [ramsections] and "wlasymbol true" under [information].
                    If -d is used we don't give a .SECTION discarded message
                      for .SECTIONs that were APPENDTO other .SECTIONs.
                    Added -p (and -SX and -SY) for pausing the linker after
                      a screen full of text has been printed to output.
