HLA v1.101 is a quick maintenance release that incorporates the HLA stdlib v3.1 package as well as various changes to the HLA header file set. This is also a "stable release" that will be kept around when the experimental v1.102 appears.

HLA v1.100 is the first version to support the FreeBSD operating system. This version of HLA also began shipping with the new HLA stdlib v3.0. Corrections included fixing problems with the output of 64-bit constants under Gas, correction of a problem with strcpylc, and fixing a type checking problem with enum values.

HLA v1.99 is the frozen version. The compiler had major changes made to it, but most of those changes were done to port the code to FreeBSD (HLA v1.100). There were several bugs fixed in the version update. Also, there were a few changes made to the stdlib v1.x to correct some issues before retiring it.

HLA v1.98 is a quick maintenance release that solves a couple problems encountered while creating the automated test suite for the HLA stdlib v2.3. You will need this version if you intend to run that regression test.

HLA v1.97 #2 (because of some version number issues, the version remains 1.97). Corrected a problem with outPath variable. Added HLAstdlibVersion constant to hla.hhf. Corrected a "classes" table inconsistency with enums.h. Fixed a defect that mishandled dotted names in various HLA CTL functions. Allowed NULL as a valid constant for the classify function. Allowed the use of @-CTL functions in various classification CTL functions. Modified string output to asm files to produce string literals with a maximum of 64 characters per statement (some strings were too long for various assemblers). Corrected a defect in the @uppercase and @lowercase functions. Worked on some problems with default paths for header files that include other header files. Fixed various bad pointer problems in the code. Added "-code1st" command-line parameter. Improved code generation for byte and word parameters. Corrected a defect having to do with passing tbyte constants as a value parameter. Added support for classes and namespaces to the @locals function.

HLA v1.97 #1 (which really appears as v1.96 in the release code) is a quick maintenance release to fix some problems HLA was having with environment paths and paths appearing within files included from a different directory (from the compilation directory).

HLA v1.96 is a quick maintenance release to fix some problems HLA was having with command-line parameters and pathnames passed between HLA and HLAPARSE.

Many thanks to Oleh Yuschuk for creating the HLA version of OllyDbg. Now HLA users have a machine-level debugger to help them debug their software! You can download OllyDbg here on Webster.

Also, thanks to Ketil Olsen for modifying the RadASM development environment to support HLA. Links to RadASM appear below. RadASM is also included as part of the HLAsetup.exe program (for first time users).

Thanks to Tomasz Grysztar for provided FASM in open source form, along with a reasonable license, to allow the creation of the new stand-alone version of HLAPARSE.

And special thanks to Sevag Krikorian for creating the HLA IDE (HIDE) specifially for the HLA system. Links to the official HIDE site appear below. HIDE is a great integrated development environment for beginning HLA users.
