Quo Forth development history

2016-01-18

• Forked eForth 1.03 for Sinclair QL (by Salvador Merino, 1992).
• Started with version 0.0.0.
• First layout changes in the source code.
• Most labels renamed with meaningful names, using a clear convention.
• Removed the nop used before jsr do_colon for alignement; they are unnecessary because the header macro aligns the pointer.
• Changed the format of the version number, renamed hi to greeting, ver to version; and modified them according to the new format of the number.
• Changed the format of the version number, after semver; renamed hi to greeting, ver to version and modified them accordingly.
• Fixed the window definition block: ink color was missing.

2016-01-19

• Renamed more label with meaningful names.
• Renamed some words after standard Forth.
• Starded adapting the memory map.
• Renamed ?branch to 0branch and wrote ?branch for the opposite condition. Both of them jump into branch, which save some code.

2016-01-23

• Created a macro to compile user variables.
• Added short branches where possible.
• Added header macros to the definitions that were compiled without them.
• Started updating the stack comments of Forth words after a modern notation.
• Added a job entry and rewrote bye to kill the current job.
