# RETRO 2020.10
|
|
|
|
This update has focused on improvements to the toolchain and
|
|
general cleaups and bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
Of particular note: when building the C implementation, you
|
|
can now override the image and stack sizes when building. For
|
|
Python users, the core toolchain (retro-unu, retro-muri, and
|
|
retro-extend) has now been implemented in Python as well as C,
|
|
so you can now build RETRO without needing a C compiler.
|
|
|
|

|
- fixed a bug in the glossary that caused names to appear twice
|
|
(reported by Kiyoshi)

|
|
- retro.py: fixed a bug in the stack depth reporting
|
|

|
|
this, thanks to Scott for reporting this)
