=== 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's buffer is always a multiple of 512 (better performances)
- 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
- 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.

- DIR command: /a:xxx is supported like an equivalent to /axxx [#44077]
- VER command: displays DOS memory location (low, HMA, ROM...) [#44050]
- VER command: displays true DOS version and DOS rev (bttr) [#44050]
- REN command: allows renaming directory names [#44060]
- implemented CTTY and LOADHIGH/LH as no-ops (LH loads programs low)
- LN creates %DOSDIR%\LINKS directory when needed and warns on error [#44042]
- LN ADD outputs an error message when link already exists [#44043]
- added Polish translations
- added German translations, courtesy of Robert Riebisch (bttr)
- added French translations, kindly contributed by Berki Yenigun (thraex)

=== ver 2022.2 (04.03.2022) ==================================================
- added support for the internal FOR command
- step-by-step execution of batch files (/Y)

- added GOTO support (jumps to a labelled line within a batch file)
- added CALL support (calls batch files from within batch files)
- DOS errors are output to stdout, and also to stderr if stdout is redirected
- fixed batch processing with /C (was executing only first command)
- stack overflow detection degrades gracefully by invalidating command-line
history (useful if a stack-hungry TSR overflows the RMOD stack)
- multi-lang support relies on SvarLANG.lib instead of its own routines
- made all SvarCOM strings localizable
- added partial German translations (kindly provided by Robert Riebisch)
=== ver 2022.0 (01.02.2022) ==================================================
