                    === SvarCOM's history / changelog ===

=== ver XXXX.X (XX.XX.XXXX) ==================================================

 - COPY returns "insufficient disk space" on write error (was: "insuff. mem")

 - COPY uses a bigger buffer to limit floppy swaps with the B: ghost drive

 - COPY removes the partially copied file when error occurs during copy

 - batch execution in step-by-step mode accepts the RETURN key as "Yes"

 - upgraded SvarLANG to ver 20241010 (LNG file is compressed now)

 - improved message when failing to respawn (translatable)

=== ver 2024.6 (28.08.2024) ==================================================

 - DIR: size of files larger than 100M is displayed correctly

=== ver 2024.5 (17.08.2024) ==================================================

 - Fixed resetting the EDR kernel environment segment after fetching it

=== ver 2024.4 (16.08.2024) ==================================================

 - /P is implied when SvarCOM is the init shell (works in DR-DOS and MS-DOS 5)

 - DR-DOS compatibility: F5/F8 boot key presses are detected and handled

 - VER command: provides extended kernel information when available

 - fixed COMSPEC respawning when SvarCOM is aborted through CTRL+C

 - when COMMAND.COM respawn fails, the exact path that was tried is displayed

 - CTRL+C can abort the ongoing batch files or FOR loop

 - EDR-DOS kernel ("config") environment is used as the initial (master) env

 - SvarCOM provides its own INT 24h handler (thank you ECM for all your help!)

=== ver 2024.3 (25.07.2024) ==================================================

 - PROMPT: supports $v, $d and $t tags

 - fixed COMMAND/C processing of batch files and FOR loops (bugz #74)

=== ver 2024.2 (20.02.2024) ==================================================

 - DIR command: added /O support

   Riebisch for reporting the issue and to E. C. Masloch for locating the root

   cause. ref: https://github.com/SvarDOS/bugz/issues/67

 - implemented the internal LH / LOADHIGH command

 - SET command: failure to update an env variable does not delete the variable

 - COPY command: timestamps of copied files are preserved

=== ver 2024.1 (17.01.2024) ==================================================

 - EDR-DOS compatibility fixes: resident module's PSP is being patched with

   cleared JFTs and its parent fields are rewired to SvarCOM. Many thanks to

   E. C. Masloch (pushbx) for suggesting this.

 - DOS errors are output to stdout, and also to stderr if stdout is redirected

 - fixed batch processing with /C (was executing only first command)

   history (useful if a stack-hungry TSR overflows the RMOD stack)

 - multi-lang support relies on SvarLANG.lib instead of its own routines
