The !Reporter application enables the easy display of text and variable
values in a debugging window from Wimp programs (especially BASIC), Obey
files, Assembler programs, and much more.

It has been a long time since the last official release of Reporter in
2006, but development has not stopped. Indeed, one reason why this
release has been delayed many times is the continual refinement and
development, resulting in a 'not quite fit for release' syndrome!

However, !Reporter v2.66 is now available, and the main changes since
v2.64d are...

- New *ReportMods command, to display the Relocatable Modules which
are loaded, with more information than *Help Modules and *Modules
combined.

- New *ReportTasks command, to display a list of the running tasks.

- New microsecond Time ability and *ReportTime0 command, if Druck's
Timer Module is installed.

- The *ReportMem command now includes Slotsize, addresses and string
free space from Basic.

- New facility to *Report *command for any command.

- New *ReportStack command, to just display current Basic stack.

- New *ReportDebug command, which is an attempt to provide a single
command which can be included at the start of a BASIC program, to
help debugging of any subsequent error by providing information about
how the program has got to the error. It provides many of the
facilities of *ReportTrace PROC Values with *ReportError, plus some
extra information, but with no Trace overhead.

- New *ReportHeap command, with heap statistics, validation and
optional block list & dump, replacing *ReportRma

- Runs on all currently known versions of RISC OS, including
BeagleBoard.

- Many minor fixes and improvements to program and documentation.

... and there may be some new bugs!


Full details are available from <URL:http://www.avisoft.force9.co.uk/>
and it can be downloaded from there as a zip archive file.

Development will continue, so please let me know of any suggestions for
changes!
