Detail:
  The text in writable icons can now be manipulated using the familiar keyboard shortcuts, or using Drag and Drop in conjunction with any compliant applications.
  Further details are in Doc/DragAndDrop along with information on API extensions which are implemented.

Version 5.65. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_65'

Detail:
  This set of changes allows the Wimp to cache the last-used translation table, and cleans up some instances where translation tables were being generated and then not used
  s/Wimp01 - Expand selecttable_args to store all 8 registers needed by ColourTrans_GenerateTable. Add 1K of space for caching the palette that the cached translation table was generated from. Remove unused spriteX, spriteY variables.
  s/Wimp04 - Split cachespritedata in two. cachespritedata now only caches the basic information, while the new cachespritepixtable rotuine will generate a translation table (shaded/inverted if required). This allows table generation to be deferred until we're just about to render the sprite, ensuring that the table isn't generated only to not be used. Also updated icon sprite rendering to check the sprite is within the graphics window before attempting to render it, allowing removal of one more case where tables can be needlessly generated.
  s/NewSWIs, s/Wimp09 - Change ADR to ADRL
  s/Tiling, s/Tiling3D - Use cachespritepixtable when needed

Version 5.36. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_36'

Makefile:
* Conditionally copy the disc resources, saving a little build time.
Wimp10.s; hdr/Wimp:
* Issue Service_WimpToolSpritesChanged when the tool sprite area is changed.
Wimp05:
* Fix bug in softloaded versions of the Wimp where menus would randomly lose the keyboard shortcut text. This was caused by use of an LDR to retrieve a byte wide variable. This specifically affected some softloads because the Wimp gets squeezed, and during unsqueezing the Wimp's workspace ends up being allocated from the same bit of RMA that used to contain the squeezed copy of the module (=lots of random numbers).
Wimp09:
* Fix bug where configuring WimpSpritePrecedence to ROM when a theme is loaded would cause redrawing of window textures to fail. This is because the Wimp intersects the ROM and RAM sprite areas and deletes any duplicates from the RAM area when remaking the fast lookup sprite list. So if the RAM sprites include the "tile_1" (etc) sprite on redrawing the desktop the Wimp points to this, then intersects the lists and deletes the sprite, leaving the pointers pointing at junk. Now, on deleting something, the window tile pointers are invalidated. Fixes ticket #346.
Wimp02:
* Fix bug where the title bar text, when the desktop font is the system font, is incorrectly rendered in the colour selected by WimpVisualFlag -WindowOutlineColour. The Wimp now restores the text colour if -WOC has set the graphics colour to something other than black.

Administrative -
In Wimp01, swap a couple of SpriteReasons from magic numbers. In the init of variables use the common reset_all_tiling_sprite function.
In Tiling3D, more SpriteReasons, and rationalise the registers used in reset_all_tiling_sprites.

Version 5.32. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_32'

Detail:
  s/Tiling, s/Tiling3D, s/Watchdog, s/Wimp05, s/Wimp07, s/Wimp09 - Replaced OS_SpriteOp reason code magic numbers with symbolic definitions.
  s/Wimp01 - Update *WimpMode / Wimp_SetMode to use OS_ScreenMode 13 (mode string to specifer) in place of its own code if a mode specifier string has been given. Note - mode number handling is unchanged, so a mode specifier string which begins with a mode number will currently have the specifier part ignored.
  s/Wimp01, s/Wimp02 - Flag_* -> ModeFlag_* renaming
  s/Wimp02 - Fix mode specifier copying to only stop copying when we hit a mode variable of -1. Previous code would also stop if the variable value was -1. Update mode set code to apply the Wimp's special greyscale palettes if the greyscale mode flag is set (i.e. greyscale mode was set via specifier generated by OS_ScreenMode 13)

Admin:
	(this is a file that built!)

Version 4.99. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_99'

Detail:
  s.Wimp09 contained a stray line saying "block count" which surprisingly
  didn't assemble. Removed.
Admin:
  Builds. Haven't tested whether it performs to spec yet.

Version 4.98. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_98'

tuned memory recovery in addmessage in Wimp09 to take account of the granularity of RMA allocation. now does not consume/not return rma

Detail:
Admin: castle added ip


Version 4.97. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_97'

Detail:
	use of R3 value in OS_Module extend block entry was incorrect..
	it was used as absolute size required, should be changed size required.
	resulted in wrong block re-sizing.

Version 4.96. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_96'

Fix to Wimp_DeleteIcon stiffing the machine when trying to delete an icon which doesn't yet exist.Now fails gracefully.

Import of another set of awful icons in the Iyonix resources.
Tweak to the number of CLI parameters accepted by * commands.

Version 4.80. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_80'

Detail:
  RISC OS 4 changes:
  * Font blending for desktop font (based on NC code, but now configurable)
  * 3-D window/menu/iconbar borders
  * Textured menu backgrounds
  * Loss of rubout box in unfilled text+sprite icons
  * *WimpVisualFlags controls various aspects of cosmetic changes above
  * Iconise button "slot" glyph slightly shorter (but only adopted in the RO400
    Resource directory)
  * Command window has front-window flag set
  * Byte at +39 of the window block has gained two new flag bits:
      bit 2 set => this window must never be given a 3D border
      bit 3 set => this window must always be given a 3D border
      (note that ResEd erroneously created windows with both bits set,
      this case is treated as though both bits were clear)
  * Another two colour specifiers on the end of C validation string command
    for icons controls the foreground and background colours to be used when
    the icon is selected
  * Pointer shape is correctly reprogrammed by the creation of icon
    underneath it
  * Full stops in writable icons are treated the same as spaces from the
    point of view of cursor navigation
  * spritesize routine returns a size of 0 if the sprite didn't exist
    (probably fixes some rendering problems)
  * Adjust-click on back icon brings window to front
  My changes:
  * DeleteRight turned on
  * Icon bar title background is set to default in all resource sets (avoids
    translation table recalc)
  * Error box title now cream across all resource sets
  * RISC OS 4 changes made 32-bit compatible / high addresses safe
  * Undocumented FullIconClipping option disabled
  * Command help made consistent for internationalised and non-
    internationalised builds
  * WimpVisualFlags defaults made sensible
  * Menu side width affected by ThreeD option at *run* time not assemble time
  * Right-clicking on menus with writable items no longer data aborts
  * Auto-opened menus are now at RHS of current icon (matches RISC OS 3.1)
  * Colour menus were knackered unless menu tiling was enabled
  * Fixed a bug whereby adding messages to a task that wanted all messages
    actually caused it to lose all other messages. The RISC OS 4 fix for
    this didn't work
  * Fixed bug introduced in version 4.76: tasks that wanted no messages got
    all of them
  * Autoscrolling is updated every 8 cs rather than every 12 cs
  * Added menu texture to pre-RISC OS 4 sprites files

  Tested on Tungsten.

Version 4.78. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_78'

Detail:
  All pointers passed to the Wimp (mode selectors, menus, sprite areas,
  palettes, pollwords, validation strings, message lists, routines etc etc)
  in any of its APIs can now be anywhere within the 32-bit address range.
  In general, whenever "<= 0" was accepted as a null condition, the value
  must now be either 0 or -1. It should also be tolerant of system memory
  areas (supervisor stack and RMA) being in the top half of memory.
  Also:
  * Default next slot now a build option - Ursula builds (eg Tungsten) use
    1024K instead of 640K
  * Ursula builds no longer have a build variant in the help string
  * Autosenses ROM location
  * CR-LFs in *Configure messages replaced with LF-CRs
  * Added Iyonix resources (currently based on Morris4)
  * Morris4 sprites files have gained file_lxa, small_lxa, file_unf,
    small_unf and lo!help sprites
  * Ursula sprites files have gained lo!help sprites
  * *WimpSlot can take memory sizes in megabytes or gigabytes
Admin:
  Tested on a "traditional" memory-mapped Tungsten.

Version 4.76. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_76'

Detail:
  * Command line buffer for Wimp_StartTask (and anything that uses it,
    eg *WimpTask) increased from 256 bytes to 1024 bytes.
  * Top-bit-set message list pointers passed to Wimp_Initialise and
    Wimp_RemoveMessages now work (there was never a problem with
    Wimp_AddMessages!)
  * The fix for top-bit-set application name pointers in Wimp 4.65 actually
    only fixed lookup for "<application> may have gone wrong" lookups. They
    now work correctly in error window title construction, and when
    constructing an application sprite name if flag bit 8 is clear.
  * A pointer value of 0 is now accepted in addition to -1 for an
    "<application> may have gone wrong" lookup - this brings it into line
    with the other two places where the application name pointer is
    referenced.
  * When constructing an error window title, the Wimp would skip any leading
    backslash character. Now it does so when constructing "<application> may
    have gone wrong" too - this is a simple way to disable the application
    sprite in the error window.
Admin:
  Error box behaviour actually tested this time!

Version 4.67. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_67'

Detail:
  * Added new functionality for menu trees: submenus can now be opened by
    clicking on their parent menu item. This is particularly aimed at
    touchscreen devices, and is configurable via the new *Configure keyword
    WimpClickSubmenu.
  * Change to the menu inactivity timeout behaviour after auto-opening of
    submenus (either by hovering over the parent menu item or by the new
    click-to-open functionality): although all hover operations are still
    ignored for this period, any click operations *will* now be obeyed.
  * Corrected numerous misleading comments in the menu handling code.
  * Added some suspiciously absent ALIGNs in the *Configure keyword handlers.
  * Uses new ASCII case-forcing macros so there are now fewer warnings
    printed during assembly (and it should run faster now too).
  * Added an AREA directive so that objasm's -ABS switch is no longer needed.
  * Standardised ErrMem token across all Messages files that use English.

  Requires HdrSrc 1.06.

Version 4.57. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_57'

Detail:
  Lots of little changes throughout a lot of source.
Admin:
  Appears to work - not stress tested with things like lots of tasks, big
  transfers, and all the other things that tend to go wrong.

Version 4.47. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_47'

Adapted assembly process so that the choice of Options file (previously based purely on the "System" variable) can be overridden by passing "OPTIONS=foo" as an argument to either MkRom, or to amu/amu_machine directly, or indirectly, by specifying it in the components file for a build. To accomplish this, it was necessary to switch from using aasm to objasm - hence the large number of source files affected in this commit.
