PC-BASIC legacy release 1.2.15

[Rob Hagemans]

Hi all, I've uploaded PC-BASIC 1.2.15. This release brings the following improvements:

• fix issue #93: diagonal steps in DRAW with scaling % 4 != 0
• fix issue #96: INT should round towards negative infinity - this was broken for INT(x) in range -1 < x < 0
• fix crash on WIDTH "COM1:", 255 if no serial port connected (issue #98)
• backport fix for issue #120 and tests
• fix issue #101 - python2 hangs on exponentiation with large numbers
• backport fix for issue #102 - crash on changing graphics page after changing video memory size
• possible fix for issue #138 Crash when codepage is set to sp65001

The 1.2 branch is now inactive and this is likely to be the last 1.2 release. Thanks everyone!

Rob

Thanks for your awesome work here, Rob! I was curious about the 1.2 — I've exclusively used 2.x and wondered about the dual status.

[Justin R. Miller]

Oh, while I'm thinking of it: maybe consider changing the docs redirect to the 2.x branch on pc-basic.org by default?

[Rob Hagemans]

Yes, it's on the list, along with changing the default install on pc-basic.org. And migrating discussions to github, now that it has that feature.
