I've uploaded release 15.03. Among other things, this release brings:
- Packaged installers for Windows and Linux
- Faster graphics operations, in particular BLOAD and BSAVE
- Command-line and text modes now work on Windows
- Much improved documentation, included with the package
- Many bugfixes and small improvements
Have fun!

I've uploaded 15.03.2, which fixes a few annoying bugs:
- Programs are now saved in the user's home directory on Windows and OS X (on Linux, this already worked correctly).
- On Windows, single-user and non-administrator installs are now possible.
- A crash on startup in OS X is fixed.
Since these fixes don't affect the Linux build, the latest version on Linux remains 15.03.1.

I've uploaded 15.03.3, which:
- fixes a number of issues with printing on Windows
- fixes crashes on math domain errors and incorrect PLAY statements
- makes some updates to the documentation
- adds support for codepages 720 (Arabic), 934 (Korea), 938 (Taiwan), 868 (Urdu), ISCII (Indic scripts) and PASCII (Perso-Arabic script)
Enjoy

I've uploaded 15.03.4, which brings a few bug fixes, notably:
- Fix crash on reading from KYBD: files.
- Grammar fixes and improvements to documentation
Starting with this release, packaging for Linux is approached differently.The installation procedure for Windows and OS X users does not change.
On Linux systems of all architectures you should now download the source release and run sudo ./install.sh. The script will install PC-BASIC in /opt/pcbasic/ and create the necessary icons and symlinks to be able to use PC-BASIC from your desktop as well as the command line.
On Debian-based systems such as Ubuntu and Mint, as well as on Fedora, the script will also install the necessary dependencies, which are no longer hard-linked into the package.
In related news, PC-BASIC should now install and run without issues on FreeBSD. Use the source package and see the README for details on installing dependencies.
