The txt library part of RISC_OSLib was essentially contrary to everything Acorn was telling its developers, to use the global clipboard.
Additionally, support is added for swap case within a selection.
txt.h:
 Add a new charoption type 'txt_READONLY' to inform txt that the buffer is notionally read only, this is used to supress 'Paste' in the selection menu when appropriate.
 Correct some typos in the comments.
txt1.h:
 Kill off modula 2 dummy structure member.
txtar.h:
 Remove unused function export.
txtfile.h:
 Rename basicimport to be consistent with the text version of the same function. We use 'import' to denote RAM transfers and 'insert' to denote file/scrap transfers throughout.
txtmisc.h:
 Redundant internal functions removed.
txtundo.h:
 Add a new undo operation type 't' for swap case, to avoid polluting the undo buffer with an entire copy of the text where only the case changed.
 Kill off modula 2 double pointer requirement.
txtedit.h:
 Unused structure member 'selectctl' removed.
txt.c:
 Kill off modula 2 double pointer requirement.
txtar.c:
 Refactor message despatch with a switch statement so the save/load/open operations are explicitly checked for, in case the application enables other messages.
txtedit.c:
 Adopt MOVERWRITE, been enabled since 1988 so is probably good to keep.
 Dynamically generate the Select menu by first sending a clipboard request, and fading Paste if no reply comes back.
 Implement changed mouse selection logic.
 Implement different hotkeys and caret navigation.
 Implement copy and paste/replace operations.
 Implement swap case operation.
txtfile.c:
 Type corrections and function rename admin.
 Implement copy and paste/replace operation for detokenised BASIC.
txtmisc.c:
 Supporting functions for clipboard added, supporting functions for ArcEdit removed.
txtscrap.c:
 Make sure the caret is visible for programmatical zero sized selections.
txtundo.c:
 Allow suspension of undo during known complex operations, such as import via RAM transmit. This was a longstanding bug where the import buffer was grabbed in ~4k chunks (even if only 1 byte was being transferred) which in turn resulted in a +4000 undo insertion and a -3999 removal, which given the default undo buffer is only 5k would result in it failing the reversibility test, so no undo was possible.
 Now, during a RAM transmit undo is suspended until the total transfer size is known, and only that data is placed in the undo buffer (subject to the same 5k reversibility limit).
 Add new undo type 't' for swap case operation.
rlibdata.s:
 4 new ints and 1 new BOOL, so RlibSpace increases by 5.

Version 5.85. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_85'

Add xferrecv_last_ref to get hold of the Wimp message id of the request for a scrap file data save, when the RAM transfer gets no reply. This is useful to allow the data save to be distinguished from a file being dragged to an application, without having to resort to string compares against <wimp$scrap>.
SWIOptions:
 Also add RTC to SWI exports, and remove redundant ones.
armsys.c:
 Treat cmd_string as a pointer.
xferrecv.c/.h/rl_entries:
 New function xferrecv_last_ref.

Version 5.84. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_84'

dbox.c: address of cancelled by dereference
event.c: spelling
txtar.c: don't grab the caret when clicking toggle size
txtedit.c: use BOOL for a boolean
win.c: when looking at the behind window handle we want -1 not 'DUD' (which happens to be -1)
wimp.h: add comment about window handle -3

Version 5.83. Not tagged

Detail:
  rlib/s/rlibdata - Reduce RlibSpace by 1, to take into account the removal of a static from rlib/c/xfersend
Admin:
  Tested on BB-xM
  Fixes 'Static data size in library and stub disagree' error when running ROM apps


Version 5.83. Retagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_83'

menu.c/menu.h:
Add a new menu_setcolours() function to allow the fore/background colour bits to be set on a menu entry.
colourmenu.c:
Use the new menu_setcolours() function instead of making assumptions about menu's internal structure layout.
dbox.c/dbox.h:
New functions dbox_hidefield and dbox_unhidefield added to complement the fade/unfade ones.
As dbox_findicon/findiconbefore are only ever used to find writables, rename them as such. Also, make them find writable (type 15) AND writable draggable (type 14) icons.
Allow navigation by tab/shift tab through icons like the Style Guide chapter 16 says we should. In fact it's a little odd that dbox is emulating 'Ktar' validation itself manually when the Wimp has done this since version 2.92, but maintaining it is less effort than going and checking all the templates.
Fix bug when looking for leading capital letter matches to complete a dbox, the previous code was looking at the cached copy of the icon flags in d->window rather than the ones the Wimp is actually showing on screen (as might have been modified by dbox_fadefield() for example), so it was possible to complete a dbox for an icon which wasn't visible or selectable.
Fix bug when looking for leading capital letter matches when the icon doesn't have any text - the template file format is defined as being 0x0D terminated. This would then lead to 'R' and 'S' being accepted as matches having run off the end of the text buffer and into the validation string (which usually contains an 'R' or 'S' validation first). Changed to accept any control terminator.
event.c:
When force closing the current menu, don't forget to set the two state variables back to 0.
fileicon.c/resspr.c/txt1.c/txtundo.c/wimp.c:
Use existing pointer type definitions.
flex.c:
Treat bools as bools and pointers as pointers.
Say something useful in an error box if flex fails its internal consistency check, rather than just data aborting.
font.c:
Remove ROM conditionals from around font_readdef() function, always include the function.
fontselect.c:
Use font_readdef() rather than local copies of the exact same function.
txtedit.c/txtfile.c/txtfind.c/txtedit.h:
Remove redundant 'deletepending' state variable, and confusion over 'selectrecent' being a bool.
Call os_byte directly rather than passing to os_cli("*FX").
Other minor tidy ups.
wimpt.c:
Mark messages list as a constant.
xferrecv.c:
Also preserve the size member while recycling the xferrecv_ack message block, rather than corrupting it as 256.
xfersend.c/xfersend.h:
Take out the leaf name formulator as a common function for the two places to use it. This also allows the function to return the length of the leaf name so the correct message block size can be used. Inspection with MsgMon/!Reporter was showing that all xfersend initiated saves were passing the leaf name padded to 256 with garbage.
Reindent a few functions.
Make the draggable sprite replacement follow the same validation string rules as the Wimp, previously only ";s" was accepted, so upper case 'S' and validation strings that start with the sprite validation didn't work.
xfersend_pipe() function prototype changed to match xfersend() more closely - not being able to respond to the context of a wimp_eventstr made this function practically unusable.
akbd.h:
Windows logo and menu keys defined.
flex.h/help.h/wimpt.h
Some typos in comments.
wimp.h:
Missing wimp message action codes and structure defs added for completeness.


Version 5.83. Not tagged

Edit-1_70 and SrcEdit-1_28 no longer require these private headers.

Version 5.83. Not tagged

menu.c: if NULL return -1, this has the added advantage that a menu maker (see event_attachmenumaker) can return NULL to mean "no menu thanks" and not data abort in event.c
dbox.c: if NULL return 0, this is somewhat consistent with template_syshandle()
menu.h: typo in comment corrected

Version 5.82. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_82'

msgs.c: includes a MessageTrans parser that duplicates MessageTrans_Lookup (needed because the lookup function returns pointers to static C strings). However, did not allow '?' wildcards in the message token names.

Version 5.80. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_80'

Fix for problem passing long command lines via system(), while there are good arguments to leave the threshold at 255, non DDEUtils aware programs get brutally truncated command strings, and since the old threshold of 255 applied when the kernel handled 256 command lines, upping the limit to 1k is no worse than before.
Fix for Edit failing to draw lines of text longer than 192 characters (ticket #350). Several factors were conspiring here: on a mode change the window width in characters wasn't being clamped, whereas user entered limits in the menu were, then the internal buffer ("PAINTBUFSIZE") was too short so lines got truncated, and when larger than 256 got wrapped modulo 256 due to the use of an array of chars. Now set at compile time with BIG_WINDOW_SIZE_LIMIT with a new theoretical maximum of 8192. Currently limited to 480 since it uses stack variables.

In the C library:
 armsys.c: adapt the threshold at which to use DDEUtils based on the kernel version number
 scanf.c: squash a warning
 time.c: mark the table of month lengths as constant so we can claw back 13 words of static workspace without having to change the stubs

In RISC OS lib:
 bbc.c: remove local definitions of some SWI numbers
 template.c: squash a warning
 txt.c: delete Modula-2 support
 txt1.c: compare pointer with NULL not an integer
 txtar.c: introduce BIG_WINDOW_SIZE_LIMIT, rationalise a few sprintf's, mark private functions as static
 txtundo.c/txtedit.c: squash old style function warnings
 txtoptmenu.c: clamp the window width read from Edit$Options properly, delete long disabled code
 txtscrap.c: dead function deleted


Version 5.78. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_78'

font.h: missing flags defined (those flags that can be used without needing to change the prototype of font_paint()
fontlist.h: comment typo
No code changes, retagged as RISC_OSLib-5_77

While the txtedit part of RISC_OSLib has never been famed for its adherence this brings the delete operation (^K ref Style Guide p38, !ResEd, and the drag & drop protocol specification) into line.

Version 5.73. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_73'

This is the other half of !Edit, which now uses the centralised awk script to insert its version number into about boxes.
Retagged as RISC_OSLib-5_71.

Retagged as 5.64.

Detail:
  * Added 64-bit file pointer API support, following the LFS spec v1.5
    (see Docs directory). Internally, now uses 64-bit file pointers
    exclusively. For now, the backend still limits you to 4GB-1 files, but
    clients of the C library won't need recompiling again to support larger
    files than this once they use the new API.
  * Fixed a large number of warnings produced in compilation, assembly and
    linking, many of them new and resulting from the improved checks in the
    latest toolchain.
  * Increased the maximum stream buffer size from 16MB to 1GB.
  * Added Hdr:SDFS and Hdr:SDIO to the list of headers used to build swis.h
    if they are present.
Admin:
  Verified that the new 64-bit file pointer buffering code works using a
  ROM build (since the toolchain makes extensive use of reading, writing
  and seeking internally).

Version 5.64. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_64'

Detail:
  clib/s/cl_stub, kernel/s/k_body, s/initmodule - Use OS_ReadSysInfo 6 to look up CLibWord/RISCOSLibWord/CLibCounter location each time it's needed instead of using hardcoded addresses. SWI overhead shouldn't be too bad since the zero page areas are rarely used.
  rlib/c/menu - Fix null pointer access when attempting to clear a submenu pointer via menu_submenu(...,...,NULL)
  s/h_workspc - Remove old local definitions of CLibCounter, RISCOSLibWorkSpace and CLibWorkSpace. Use Hdr:PublicWS instead.
Admin:
  Tested on rev A2 BB-xM


Version 5.60. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_60'

Retagged as RISC_OSLib-5_59.

Functionality to query, plot, and transform a JPEG file modelled on the functions provided in 'sprite.c/h'.
To be used to share more code between !Paint and !Draw.

Version 5.59. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_59'

Needed by !Paint 2.02.
Fix some easy warnings in wimp.c/sprite.c.
Add new function (not in the ROM version) 'wimp_baseofromsprites()'.
bbc_adval fixed to return -1 when no ADC fitted to match Electron behaviour.
Note: the 2 reenabled functions haven't been appended to the table, so anyone who linked a RAM application against 'romastubs' would need to relink.

Version 5.58. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_58'

Detail:
  rlib/c/txtedit - Rather than generating a proper error block to send to Wimp_ReportError, txtedit__validbasicfile was just subtracting 4 from the pointer to the error string.
  The resulting address isn't guaranteed to be aligned properly, resulting in an alignment fault on ARMv7 when Wimp_ReportError examines the error number.
  The new code just reuses the 'buff' array to build a temporary error block.
Admin:
  Fixes alignment fault on beagleboard when attempting to load a detokenized BASIC file into !Edit.


Version 5.57. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_57'

Detail:
 Fix missed change from last commit
Admin:
 None

Version 5.54. Not tagged

Detail:
 This changes all the C and assembler includes to be a canoncial Unix format.
 Also match include paths to previous commit for EditIntern/DrawIntern/VerIntern
 Finally, also include some minor type fixes (NULL vs 0)
Admin:
 May be some other paths elsewhere in the source I'm not immediately able to fix.  Will address any issues ASAP, since this is a huge change.

Version 5.54. Not tagged

 Detail:
  Parts of RISCOS_Lib use non-standard paths that only really work on native RISC OS compilitation.
  This moves the relevant files into a more normalized dir.h.file format.
 Admin:
  Not tested yet.  #include path changes to follow.

Version 5.54. Not tagged

          * isprint() now true for non-breaking spaces
<math.h>  * FP_INFINITY corrected to FP_INFINITE
          * fma(), fmal(), llrint(), llrintf(), llrintl(),
            llround(), llroundf(), llroundl(),
            remquo(), remquof(), remquol() added.
          * added inlining for remainder() and fmaf() and various
            float functions.
          * math_errhandling removed pending overhaul - it was misleading.
          * expm1() and log1p() now provide decent (< 1 ulp) accuracy,
            rather than only being marginally better than exp(x)-1 and
            log(1+x).
          * new version of copysign() with standard calling conventions.
          * some C99 functions changed to use infinity/NaNs and exceptions
            for error handling - see comments in header file about the
            changes in progress.
<stdio.h>  * output from %a now correctly rounded
<stdlib.h> * strtof() and strtold() added.
<string.h> * strerror() no longer clears _kernel_last_oserror().

Version 5.49. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_49'

* _Exit() added.
* Lots of new <math.h> functions (acosh, asinh, atanh, exp2, expm1,
  ilogb, log1p, log2, logb, scalbn, scalbln, cbrt, erf, erfc,
  lgamma, tgamma, nexttoward, fmaf). Float and long double forms
  of every function added; long double forms are included as another
  library object in the stubs rather than the shared library, as they
  just branch to the double form.
* Subnormal/NaN/infinity cases in various <math.h> functions improved.
* Added <tgmath.h>.
* Headers brought into line with CC 5.54.
* RMEnsures added to C library initialisation to try to load minimum
  CallASWI, FPEmulator, CLib. No errors reported if load fails.
* A few pointless inter-file dependencies removed to reduce minimum
  size of included ANSILib.

Version 5.46. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_46'

Detail:
  * Improved lookup of application Sprites file: uses Wimp_Extend 13 (in
    Wimps that support it) to work out the appropriate resolution suffix,
    and prefixes with "<Wimp$IconTheme>" to allow a future Theme Manager
    to operate.
  * Preserves attributes of any existing file when saving sprite or text
    files.
  * Changed two null menu handles from 0 to (doucmented) -1. Despite the
    fact that the Wimp is actually happy with 0 as a null handle here,
    this was reported as a fault.
  * Changed rlib.c.version to use VersionNum, deleted thereby-obsoleted
    rlib.h.VerIntern.version file. Not that rlib.c.version seems to be used
    at the moment.
  * Added Kevin's additions to the test directory.
Admin:
  Tested briefly.

Version 5.44. Not tagged

PCI added to swis.h
alloc.c updated to handle bigger slots (new code merged from ARM libraries)
Various 32-bit fixes for backtracing, and general trap handling.
Polite "Application is not 32-bit compatible" message.
Headers <stdint.h> and <inttypes.h> fixed to work in non-C99 mode.
txt changed to do new-style Delete behaviour

Version 5.44. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_44'

Detail:
  This version now builds with cc-5_45. Note: it has not been verified as
  actually functioning correctly.
Admin:
  Tested in DSL Baseline build.

Version 5.42. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_42'

* Fixed C library tty so it can output '\b' (backspace).
* Made offsetof() and va_arg() macros work with C++.

Version 5.34. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_34'

* Fixed C library tty so it can output '\b' (backspace).
* Made offsetof() and va_arg() macros work with C++.

Version 5.34. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_34'

Detail:
  The file no longer exists as the UROM definition is passed on the command
    line now.
Admin:
  5.29 wouldn't build because of the missing file - didn't catch it during
    testing for some reason :-(

Version 5.30. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_30'

  Fix for RISC_OSLib res() function.
Detail:
  Version 4.89 featured an improved strcmp() routine that didn't actually
    work properly (bug #4085).  The return values had the wrong sign if this
    optimised code was used and the string contained top-bit set chars.
  Removed that rlib.s.asmdefs hack as the comment in the makefile suggested.
    Nothing needs it any more as the assembler sources that require it now
    get via a -PD argument.
  res_ prefix function was still wrong as it failed to detect valid but wrong
    filenames, hence the "Make$Path not defined" errors in the latest tools
    release.
Admin:
  Fixes Bugzilla bug #4085
  Should fix BaseSW's build problems too.

Version 5.29. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_29'

  Module library builds of RISC_OSLib are exported during export_libs
Detail:
  Ever since res_findname was altered to use <appname>:<resourcename> as
    the filename, the !C++ tool has been broken, because C++:Messages
    returns a different error to "not found" when you try to open it (it
    says it is an invalid filename).  This error is now caught explicitly
    and res_findname falls back to using <appname$Dir>.<resourcename>
    like it did before.
Admin:
  Required by FrontEnd 1.21 or later.
  Required by !C++ (c++cmd-3_17 or later to function correctly)

Version 5.28. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_28'

Detail:

  * (As above.)  It would perhaps be a worthwhile change to use LocalRes
    type functionality in future to allow the UK resources to be chosen
    when no locale-specific resources exist.

Admin:

  * Changes first applied to Bethany branch version.  Resources are
    copied from UK -> SAfrica.

Version 5.24. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_24'

  Fixed bug in getenv() relating to macro and numeric system variables.
Detail:
  Uses SYMDEFS file to avoid messing around with generating little text
    files, generating assembler source, assembling it etc.  abssym et al
    are construct as symbol definition template files and then updated
    directly by the linker ready for export.  The linker can use these
    files directly without needing them to be assembled into AOF format.
  Fixed getenv so that it can read macro and numeric variables.  With these
    variable types, R2 does not equal -length of the variable value, so
    trying to obtain a variable with a larger value than any previously
    read variable would fail.  This is now fixed.
  This module will refuse to build without link 5.19 or later.
Admin:
  Requires Library 0.54 or later.

  This component will not build with Library 0.53 or earlier.

Version 5.16. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_16'

Detail:
	These had been missed during earlier translation efforts.
Admin:
	Tested in a Lazarus build.

Version 5.12. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_12'

Detail:
  * Copied UK resources to Italy, Germany (excepting where already
    present), France and Turkey for multi-language builds.
    LocalRes: cannot be used here, because of the clib/rlib prefixes on
    the resource paths.
    Note: These languages will need translating at some point, but are not
    generally user visible.
Admin:
  Required for multiple language build of Bethany.

Version 5.08. Not tagged

Version 5.06. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_06'

Detail:

  * More minor message alterations: removed "Network Computer" and replaced
    this with "system", since this is generic.  Also brought the
    other resources up-to-date by including messages missing from the
    non-UK resources.

Admin:

  * Checked but untested.  (These additional changes made after having
    discovered the phrase "Network Computer" within "rlib" during a
    search across the whole of the Lazarus sources; hopefully, I have
    found them all this time!)
