topOfStack

Fixed the display of local and call stack if "topOfStack" is omitted.
(Nevertheless it's good practice not to omit "topOfStack" but to provide this value to DeZog).

Closing Help

Fixed #51: Closing the help once prevents it from being opened again

multiroot

• Thanks to bereal DeZog is now working also in multiroot workspaces.
• The Z80 unit test interface has been changes as well to support new version of z80-unit-tests that also supports multiroot workspaces now.
• CSpect supported now for Z80 unit tests.

Register Memory View

The Register Memory View does not start automatically anymore on each debug session start (see feature request #47).

If you want to launch the register memory view every time you start a debug session then add it to the "commandsAfterLaunch" in the launch.json. E.g.

"commandsAfterLaunch": [
    "-rmv"
]

Or you manually launch it from the debug console when needed with:

-rmv

zsim improved

• Fix: RegisterMemoryView lost content when hidden and re-displayed.
• Fix: z80asm line address association wrong when using macros.
• Allowed bullets for list in help view.
• zsim:
  • Big performance improvement (achieved by an improved decoding of the ULA screen).
  • "limitSpeed": If enabled the simulated CPU performance is throttled to fit the given CPU frequency. Is enabled by default. If disabled the CPU will be simulated as fast as possible.
  • "defaultPortIn": The default value that is read if the read port is unused.
  • ULA screen now supports flash color attribute (#44).
  • "zxInterface2Joy": Enables the ports and the visuals for simulating ZX interface 2 joysticks.
  • "kempstonJoy": Enables the port for a Kempston joystick at 0x1F.
  • Joystick simulation supports attached gamepads.
  • Corrected T-states counting for HALT instruction.
  • "updateFrequency" added: the frequency the Z80 simulation view gets updated.
  • Fixed save/restore.
  • Added "zxBorderWidth" to display the simulated border.
  • Added "zxBeeper" (experimental).
