Emulator version 1.04 released

[Paul Kimpel]

Nigel and I are pleased to announce that version 1.04 of the retro-B5500 emulator has been released. All changes have been posted to the repository for our GitHub project. The hosting site has also been updated with this release, and for those of you running your own web server, a zip file of the release can be downloaded from Google Drive.

This is a minor release containing a few fixes for issues we have discovered since 1.03 was released over a year ago. Details in the blog and the project wiki.

This is a minor release with miscellaneous corrections and enhancements. The most significant enhancements are a new implementation of the Add/Subtract operators and a new feature that allows ad hoc entry of card images into the card reader.

The blog also announces the establishment of a separate project for centralized archiving and maintenance of B5500 source code. I have seeded it with with the transcribed sources from the retro-b5500 project and worked with Rich Cornwell to get a few others debugged and archived. The repository for the new project is located at https://github.com/retro-software/B5500-software.
