Just a little over a month ago, I was announcing EndBASIC 0.13 with a brand new compiler and VM implementation. 0.13 was the result of six months of work and I had to "flush those out" to clear my mind. At the end of the day, however, 0.13 "just" improved performance. Yes, the wins were massive, but they didn't do much to make EndBASIC any cooler for you.
Today's 0.14 is a different beast. This shiny release is a collection of new features all over the place with the special addition of basic sound support. Specifically because of the latter, 0.14 marks a major milestone because it unlocks the last frontier towards a possible 1.0. There are many more things I wanted to include in this release—and one feature I had to eventually give up on due to its difficulty—but at some point one has to stop and get the code out. So here we are!
