Re: [Amforth] Release 4.4 tagged and published

Hi!

Amforth is releasing quite fast. It was like yesterday when 4.2 came out :)
Big thank you everyone who has contributed.

Would it be good idea to change the 8k requirement from web page to something like Amforth takes about 8k Flash but doesn't fit out of box to 8k MCUs?

 rx rx? tx tx? +usart and also @e and !e are described several times. e words have mention about XMEGA but tx and rx have same description. This has probably something to do with the fact we have UART USART and USART0. 

Also numeric I/O part u words have maybe little bit too compact description. ud. ud.r u. u.r are double cell output. I'm still learning to do things with Amforth and that kind of documentation doesn't help much. It is probably huge task to do but someone should check out the descriptions of words. I would do that however I'm not familiar enough to do that.

Web page wordlist and refcard.pdf differs little bit but that isn't big problem. Bigger problem is that some words give error 404.

One nice feature would also be generation of refcard on compilation. Interactively added words can't be there but let's assume that one creates Amforth system and writes some frt files which defines words, they could be put to Application part of card. The more work requiring thing would be list not included words in the project. That would have save so much my time if I had some list which had included and excluded words. I have already written few words to do some tasks and usually start working with all words included and when system is working I'll take words out one by one until I have just working system :)

But I'll give 4.4 a try when I have more time. Now I have some thing called life to live :)

Best regards,
