v0.13.0

[skx]

This release is probably the last one for a while, I now regard this project as "complete":

• It implements all of the core functions that are expected.
• It runs the programs I want to run.

Of course if there are bug-reports, reporting bogus results, or an inability to run CP/M binaries (excluding the case of disk sector/head/track functionality) then of course I will attempt to resolve them. Please file an issue if you're in that situation.

Changes compared to the previous release largely revolve around improved test-coverage, and minor bug-fixes. We've now introduced integration tests, in addition to the core package-tests. However there are a couple of new, and visible changes:

• We default to using CCPZ, rather than the original DR-issued CCP.
  • This means you now have LIST, PEEK, POKE, and # as built-in functions.
• The -quiet flag has been removed, along with the embedded binary A:!QUIET.COM.

Finally if you build from source you can add ZORK1.DAT and ZORK1.COM to static/A/ before you build the code - then once you've done so you'll have a self-contained CP/M emulator with embedded & always-available ZORK! (You can repeat with other binaries too of course.)
