Orbis Basic v7.1.0 is now available!
This release brings a major cleanup and modernization of the toolchain compared with v7.0.3.
The biggest change is the new Universal executable format. The same .exe files now contain both Linux ELF64 and Windows PE32+ payloads, so there is no longer a need for separate Linux and Windows versions of the tools.
Other highlights include:
- Sega 32X is now the default target
- A single OrbisBasic.exe is used for Sega 32X, Linux, and Windows builds
- The old OCC backend has been replaced by NCC
- Added nbasic.exe as a Universal executable
- NBasic is a full QBasic-compatible scripting language for Linux and Windows, making it useful both as part of the Orbis toolchain and as a standalone scripting environment
- img2bin.exe, ncc.exe, nbasic.exe, BuildProgram.exe, and OrbisBasic.exe are all Universal builds
- Added the NBasic manual
Thanks again to everyone testing Orbis Basic and reporting issues!
