Decker 1.26

Decker 1.26 is a maintenance release, including several bugfixes, improved debugging tools, UI refinements, and a routine for rotating bitmaps.

Fixes (Native): 

• Corrected inconsistent handling of floating-point modulus. Like web-Decker, native-Decker and Lilt now permit non-integral arguments to the modulus operator (%).

Fixes (Web):

• Corrected inconsistent handling of show[] and print[] when called with 0 arguments.

New Features:

• Native-Decker now permits enabling the toolbars while in windowed mode. As a result, toolbars will no longer default to "on" when initially entering fullscreen mode. This feature combines nicely with tracing mode (introduced in v1.21).

• The image interface now includes a ".rotate[]" function which modifies the image in-place. The rotation algorithm is pixel-perfect, area-preserving and reversible.

• The built-in function "eval[]" can now opt into evaluating the given string within the caller's scope, permitting local variables (and their modification) to be visible to the evaluated code fragment. Use with caution!

• Introduced a new built-in function "panic[]". When a panic is encountered, all currently-executing scripts will be stopped immediately, the Listener will be opened, and the first argument to "panic[]" (if any) will be made available in the Listener environment as the variable "_". Panic is particularly useful when attempting to debug scripts which are not directly triggered by user interaction, such as Module  initialization scripts or Transition functions.

• Some secret fun.
