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



=== 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
 - DIR command: %DIRCMD% support
 - command-line parsing modified to work around a DN bug. Thanks to Robert
   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
