A-Shell Release Notes 7.0.1788.0 (11 Jul 2026)

1787.3   EIR

File I/O refinement: READ operations now recognize records in a final partial block of the file, even if the file was not opened with the SPAN'BLOCKS option. Previously an attempt to read such a record—without SPAN'BLOCKS—would have generated an illegal record number. This allows for the AUTOX_RAN option (record-by-record auto file expansion) to work without requiring SPAN'BLOCKS.

 

A-Shell Release Notes 7.0.1787.2 (03 Jul 2026)

1787.2   EIR

Compiler refinement, edit 1084: ++INCLUDE operations no longer require that the process is logged in to an A-Shell ppn in order to properly convert a DevPPN-style filespec. This is mainly a convenience for the standalone compiler when launched automatically by an editor.

 

A-Shell Release Notes 7.0.1787.1 (11 Jun 2026)

1787.1   Fix

Bug fix: the new CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+S shortcut was leaving ATE in local keyboard mode, possibly requiring it to be cleared via the Settings menu.

MOVE.LIT 3.4(150) and RENAME.LIT 3.4(119) now support the same /ARC{:#} switch.
