CHANGELOG:

Assemblers:

v10.2 (24-Jun-2022) [ALL] Added SIZE to .RAMSECTION.
                    [ALL] Added -d to disable WLA's ability to calculate A-B
                      where A and B are labels.
                    [ALL] If SIZE is used with a .SECTION or .RAMSECTION and
                      the section doesn't fit into it, we now issue an error
                      instead of a warning.
                    [ALL] .FOPEN should now work with makefile generation.
                    [ALL] WLA's summary is now printed to stdout instead of
                      stderr.
                    [ALL] Added support for UTF-8 source files (meaning labels,
                      macro names, definitions, etc. can all be UTF-8).
                    [ALL] When .ROMBANKMAP had ROM banks of different sizes,
                      the verbose summary's ROM information was not fully working.
                    [ALL] Memory overwrite messages should now have working
                      line numbers in all cases.
                    [ALL] WLA assembles now "WLAI" library files and "WLAk"
                      object files.
                    [ALL] Labels without ':' can now be used right on the next
                      line after a .MACRO call.
                    [ALL] Added keywords ISOLATED, ISOLATELOCAL and ISOLATEUNNAMED
                      to .MACRO. These make the local and unnamed labels
                      inside a .MACRO to stay inside and not affect the
                      outside world. The same goes for child label stack.
                    [ALL] We now don't do substitution in code that is skipped
                      using .IFs.
                    [ALL] Added SIZE to .DSTRUCT and .STRUCT and to INSTANCEOF
                      in .RAMSECTION and .ENUM.
                    [ALL] If padding is put to a .DSTRUCT or INSTANCEOF in
                      .RAMSECTION or .ENUM, _paddingof_* definition is created
                      unless -s is given.
                    [ALL] Added optional COUNT to INSTANCEOF in .RAMSECTION and
                      .ENUM.
                    [ALL] Added NOLABELS to .DSTRUCT.
                    [ALL] Added round(), floor() and ceil().
                    [Z80] Added "EX HL,DE" (an alias for "EX DE,HL").
                    [Z80] Added "EX HL,(SP)" (an alias for "EX (SP),HL").
                    [Z80] Added "EX IX,(SP)" (an alias for "EX (SP),IX").
                    [Z80] Added "EX IY,(SP)" (an alias for "EX (SP),IY").
                    [658] WDM takes now a byte (i.e., "WDM $12").
                    [651] Removed wla-6510 as wla-6502 can be used for 6510.
                    [650] Added undocumented opcodes to wla-6502.
                    [GB ] It's now possible to set the number of ROM banks to
                      any value larger than 0.
                    [GB ] WARNING: .ROMBANKS / .ROMBANKMAP don't write the ROM
                      size to $0148 any more, use .ROMSIZE for that.
                    [GB ] Added ROMSIZE to .GBHEADER.

Linker:

v5.17 (24-Jun-2022) Added SIZE to [sections] and [ramsections].
                    Added -R (file paths inside link file are relative to
                      linkfile's location).
                    WLALINK's summary is now printed to stdout instead of
                      stderr.
                    WLALINK didn't print verbose mode's summary at the end if
                      listfile writing was enabled, but there was no listfile
                      data.
                    Bankheader sections now have listfile data.
                    Sections that were appended to other sections have now
                      listfile data.
                    Included file in the middle of a source file doesn't
                      kill the listfile data before it in the source file
                      any more.
                    Code outside .SECTIONs has now listfile data.
                    Listfiles contain now line number, base (65816 only),
                      bank, slot, PC and offset in addition to hexadecimal
                      bytes.
                    If .SECTION "A" is using "AFTER "B"", .SECTION "A" will
                      now inherit .SECTION "B"'s .BASE as well.
                    We now skip the generated RAM_USAGE_SLOT_* labels when
                      trying to automatically find load address for a CBMPRG.
