Hello All,

The Official Release of Euphoria 2.0 is now available from:

     http://members.aol.com/FilesEu/

The improvements are mainly bug fixes, slightly better
documentation, and a change in the install procedure.

Please let me know at rds at msn.com if you have any
trouble installing. I've tried to make it easier for new
people to figure out what they have to do. When you unzip,
you will now see only 7 files. One of them, BUNDLE.DAT,
actually contains 108 files. INSTALL.BAT will set up
everything for you as usual.

Registered users can send e-mail to rds at msn.com to
get the download instructions for the Official Release.
Indicate your name and location so we know you are
registered. In some cases I may send the instructions automatically,
but in most cases, you should send an e-mail request to me.
It's hard to keep an up-to-date list of e-mail addresses.
People change addresses too often (and I'm too lazy!).

                               Release Notes

Version 2.0 Official Release

* REFMAN.DOC and the other documentation has been improved in
   a few places.

* The install procedure has changed. The Euphoria .ZIP file now
   contains a large "BUNDLE.DAT" file that contains over 100 files.
   This makes it easier for people to locate the important files:
   README.DOC, INSTALL.BAT, etc. that they should look at
   before installing. The .ZIP file is also 35K smaller as a result.

* shroud will warn you to use bind/bindw if you try to create a shrouded
   source file with a name ending in ".EXE".

* BUG FIXED: With exw.exe, when standard input was redirected
   away from the keyboard to a file or other source, the trace facility
   would not work properly, and the get_key() and wait_key() library
   routines would not work. These problems have now been corrected.

* BUG FIXED: In 2.0 beta for WIN32, when a program used gets(0) or
   getc(0) to read the keyboard, the backspace key was simply
  echoed on the screen as ASCII code 8. Backspace and left arrow
  can now be used to correct previous typed input (as in DOS32).

* BUG FIXED: The WIN32 message_box() library routine had an error
   if you passed it a sequence of style values.

* BUG FIXED (thanks to Pete Eberlein): When printing a large
  sequence using ?, or when dumping a sequence into ex.err, a ','
  was sometimes missing at the end of a line.

* BUG FIXED: The storage deallocator could crash when freeing a
  deeply-nested sequence containing sequences nested inside
  sequences to 850 levels (DOS32) or 3200 levels (WIN32). It now
  works fine to any number of levels.

* BUG FIXED (thanks to Rolf Schroeder): If an include statement
  came right after a global variable declaration, the shrouder wouldn't
  handle it properly.

* BUG FIXED (thanks to Jiri Babor): In mode 19, pixel() was not
   correctly clipping images that were printed partially off the left side
   of the screen.


The next thing for me to do now is to distribute
the Official Release to various sites around the Internet.
It has been almost a year now since I've done that.
Hopefully we'll get a lot of new people joining the
community in the next few months.
