SPASM-ng v0.5-beta.2 - Beta Release

SPASM-ng v0.5-beta.2 - Beta Release

This is the second preview release of SPASM-ng. This is a beta release, so hopefully not too many things will break! (But it's still possible, so keep on a lookout for problems!)

This release includes important fixes to eZ80 support in preparation for the launch of the TI-84+CE. As always, please consult the readme for information on the new eZ80 features.

This release also includes important fixes for compiling, as well as other general fixes. In addition, this release adds .8xv outputting, cross-platform timing/colors, and unlimited label/define support. We've also added some helpful header files to enable faster and easier development.

This is the second beta release, meaning that all features have been frozen. Unless there's an immediate need for a new feature, only bug fixes will occur between beta releases. (Occasionally, we may add small features to the codebase whenever necessary.) Please grab this release and run SPASM-ng yourself! (Stress-testing is encouraged!)

Happy assembling!
