Thanks to bleep finding a very strange performance issue in his bubble universe code I've been able to track down an underlying day-1 inefficiency in the MMbasic memory handling. This release optimises around that and should give a performance improvement for most applications. The code change is very small and doesn't affect any functionality. I believe it to be robust but if you see anything strange please report your findings.

NB: there are known issues in 800x600 and 848x480 resolutions in RP2350 VGA and HDMI versions. I'm looking at this.

UPDATE Fixed at 18:05 UTC


Reboot problem discovered!

The problem was that I had

OPTION ESCAPE
SUB MM.END
 PRINT "\n\nEND PROGRAM\n"
END SUB


in the library. I don't know why that should cause a program crash but when I removed it from the library, the logtable program stopped crashing.

When I put that in the program itself, it crashed again.

Even a null sub with no print statement in it

SUB MM.END
END SUB


will make the program crash.
