Better Performance, New Features in JBasic 2.5

The JBasic 2.5 release is now available on the project download page. This includes significant performance gains (20% or more in many cases) as well as lots of bug fixes. New with this release are user-requested language features such as multi-line IF..THEN..ELSE constructs and SUB local subroutine definitions. This increases compatibility with other BASIC dialects. Also updated in this release are features for supporting more sophisticated BINARY file I/O so you can write JBasic programs to access most native data types available on your system.
