  2. Added custom filebuffer size.
  3. New release version.

2.00.017

  1. Fixed EQU registration/backpatching.
  2. Added multiline support.
  3. Macro support partly implemented.

2.00.016

  2. Busy implementing the macro handling.
  3. Optimized some things to improve speed. YEEEHAAA!

2.00.011

  1. Added DEFB, DEFW, DEFD and DEFS to the instruction set (which are the same things as DB, DW, DD and DS). (DD still isnt implemented.)
  2. Made version/signon info for XAsm static functions from the class instead of using general functions.
  3. Added DumpStatus function for extra information at crashes etc.
