+* Added VERSION_CODE for software version checks.
+* Added S\"
+* Terminal is unbuffered on posix systems
+* Added CMAKE build, (thanks Robin Rowe)
+* Improve unix/Makefile, moved to "platforms" folder

+
+## V28 - 4/24/2018
+
+* remove off_t
+* too many changes to list, see commit history (TODO add changes)
+* fix $ROM
+* fix HISTORY
+* fixes for MinGW build
+
+## V27 - 11/22/2010
+
+* Fixed REPOSITION-FILE FILE-SIZE and FILE-POSITION.
+ They used to use single precision offset. Now use double as specified.
+* Delete object directories in Makefile clean.
+* Fixed "Issue 4: Filehandle remains locked upon INCLUDE error".
+ http://code.google.com/p/pforth/issues/detail?id=4&can=1
+* Fixed scrambled HISTORY on 64-bit systems. Was using CELL+ but really needed 4 +.

+* Fixed lots of warning and made code compatible with C89 and ANSI. Uses -pedantic.
+* Use fseek and ftell on WIN32 instead of fseeko and ftello.
+* Makefile is now more standard. Builds in same dir as Makefile. Uses CFLAGS etc.
+* Add support for console IO with _WATCOMC_
+* Internal CStringToForth and ForthStringToC now take a destination size for safety.
+* Run units tests for CStringToForth and ForthStringToC if PF_UNIT_TESTS is defined.
+
+## V26 5/20/2010
+
+* 64-bit support for M* UM/MOD etc by Aleksej Saushev. Thanks Aleksej!
+
+## V25 5/19/2010
+
+* Added 64-bit CELL support contributed by Aleksej Saushev. Thanks Aleksej!
+* Added "-x c" to Makefile CCOPTS to prevent confusion with C++
+* Allow space after -d command line option.
+* Restore normal tty mode if pForth dictionary loading fails.
+
+## V24 2/20/09
+
+* Fixed Posix IO on Mac. ?TERMINAL was always returning true.
+* ACCCEPT now emits a space at end of line before output.
+* Fixed RESIZE because it was returning the wrong address.
+
+## V23 8/4/2008
+
+* Removed -v option from mkdir in build/unix/Makefile. It was not supported on FreeBSD.
+ Thank you Alexsej Saushev for reporting this.
+
+## V23 7/20/2008
+
+* Reorganized for Google Code project.
+
+## V22 (unreleased)
+
+* Added command line history and cursor control words.
+* Sped up UM* and M* by a factor of 3. Thanks to Steve Green for suggested algorithm.
+* Modified ACCEPT so that a line at the end of a file that does NOT have a line
+ terminator will now be processed.
+* Use _getch(), _putch(), and _kbhit() so that KEY, EMIT and ?TERMINAL will work on PC.
+* Fixed : foo { -- } 55 ; - Was entering local frame but not exiting. Now prints error.
+* Redefined MAKE_ID to protect it from 16 bit ints
+* John Providenza says "If you split local variables onto 2 lines, PForth crashes." Fixed. Also allow \
+* Fixed float evaluation in EVALUATE in "quit.fth".
+* Flush register cache for ffColon and ffSemiColon to prevent stack warnings from ;
+
+## V21 - 9/16/1998
+
+* Fixed some compiler warnings.
+
+## V20
+
+* Expand PAD for ConvertNumberToText so "-1 binary .s" doesn't crash.
+ Thank you Michael Connor of Vancouver for reporting this bug.
+
+* Removed FDROP in REPRESENT to fix stack underflow after "0.0 F.".
+ Thank you Jim Rosenow of Minnesota for reporting this bug.
+* Changed pfCharToLower to function to prevent macro expansion bugs under VXWORKS
+ Thank you Jim Rosenow of Minnesota for reporting this bug.
+
+* "0.0 F~" now checks actual binary encoding of floats. Before this it used to just
+ compare value which was incorrect. Now "0.0 -0.0 0.0 F~" returns FALSE.
+
+* Fixed definition of INPUT$ in tutorial.
+ Thank you Hampton Miller of California for reporting this bug.
+
+* Added support for producing a target dictionary with a different
+ Endian-ness than the host CPU. See PF_BIG_ENDIAN_DIC and PF_LITTLE_ENDIAN_DIC.
+
+* PForth kernel now comes up in a mode that uses BASE for numeric input when
+ started with "-i" option. It used to always consider numeric input as HEX.
+ Initial BASE is decimal.
+
+## V19 4/1998
+
+* Warn if local var name matches dictionary, : foo { count -- } ;
+* TO -> and +-> now parse input stream. No longer use to-flag.
+* TO -> and +-> now give error if used with non-immediate word.

+* Aded TRACE facility for single step debugging of Forth words.
+* Added stub for ?TERMINAL and KEY? for embedded systems.
+* Added PF_NO_GLOBAL_INIT for no reliance on global initialization.
+* Added PF_USER_FLOAT for customization of FP support.
+* Added floating point to string conversion words (F.) (FS.) (FE.)
+ For example: : F. (F.) TYPE SPACE ;
+* Reversed order that values are placed on return stack in 2>R
+ so that it matches ANS standard. 2>R is now same as SWAP >R >R
+ Thank you Leo Wong for reporting this bug.
+
+* Added PF_USER_INIT and PF_USER_TERM for user definable init and term calls.
+
+* FIXED memory leak in pfDoForth()
+
+## V18
+
+* Make FILL a 'C' primitive.
+* optimized locals with (1_LOCAL@)
+* optimized inner interpreter by 15%
+* fix tester.fth failures
+* Added define for PF_KEY_ECHOS which turns off echo in ACCEPT if defined.
+* Fixed MARKER. Was equivalent to ANEW instead of proper ANS definition.
+* Fixed saving and restoring of TIB when nesting include files.
+
+## V17
+
+* Fixed input of large floats. 0.7071234567 F. used to fail.
+
+## V16
+
+* Define PF_USER_CUSTOM if you are defining your own custom 'C' glue routines. This will ifndef the published example.
+* Fixed warning in pf_cglue.c.
+* Fixed SDAD in savedicd.fth. It used to generate bogus 'C' code
+ if called when (BASE != 10), as in HEX mode.
+* Fixed address comparisons in forget.fth and private.fth for
+ addresses above 0x80000000. Must be unsigned.
+* Call FREEZE at end of system.fth to initialize rfence.
+* Fixed 0.0 F. which used to leave 0.0 on FP stack.
+* Added FPICK ( n -- ) ( i*f -- i*f f[n] )
+* .S now prints hex numbers as unsigned.
+* Fixed internal number to text conversion for unsigned nums.
+
+## V15 - 2/15/97
+
+* If you use PF_USER_FILEIO, you must now define PF_STDIN and PF_STDOUT among other additions. See "pf_io.h".
+* COMPARE now matches ANS STRING word set!
+* Added PF_USER_INC1 and PF_USER_INC2 for optional includes and host customization. See "pf_all.h".
+* Fixed more warnings.
+* Fixed >NAME and WORDS for systems with high "negative" addresses.
+* Added WORDS.LIKE utility. Enter: WORDS.LIKE EMIT
+* Added stack check after every word in high level interpreter.
+ Enter QUIT to enter high level interpreter which uses this feature.
+* THROW will no longer crash if not using high level interpreter.
+* Isolated all host dependencies into "pf_unix.h", "pf_win32.h",
+ "pf_mac.h", etc. See "pf_all.h".
+* Added tests for CORE EXT, STRINGS words sets.
+* Added SEARCH
+* Fixed WHILE and REPEAT for multiple WHILEs.
+* Fixed .( ) for empty strings.
+* Fixed FATAN2 which could not compile on some systems (Linux gcc).
+
+## V14 - 12/23/96
+* pforth command now requires -d before dictionary name.
+ Eg. pforth -dcustom.dic test.fth
+* PF_USER_* now need to be defined as include file names.
+* PF_USER_CHARIO now requires different functions to be defined.
+ See "csrc/pf_io.h".
+* Moved pfDoForth() from pf_main.c to pf_core.c to simplify
+ file with main().
+* Fix build with PF_NO_INIT
+* Makefile now has target for embedded dictionary, "gmake pfemb".
+
+## V13 - 12/15/9
+
+* Add "extern 'C' {" to pf_mem.h for C++
+* Separate PF_STATIC_DIC from PF_NO_FILEIO so that we can use a static
+ dictionary but also have file I/O.
+* Added PF_USER_FILEIO, PF_USER_CHARIO, PF_USER_CLIB.
+* INCLUDE now aborts if file not found.
+* Add +-> which allows you to add to a local variable, like +! .
+* VALUE now works properly as a self fetching constant.
+* Add CODE-SIZE and HEADERS-SIZE which lets you resize
+ dictionary saved using SAVE-FORTH.
+* Added FILE?. Enter "FILE? THEN" to see what files THEN is defined in.
+* Fixed bug in local variables that caused problems if compilation
+ aborted in a word with local variables.
+* Added SEE which "disassembles" Forth words. See "see.fth".
+* Added PRIVATE{ which can be used to hide low level support
+ words. See "private.fth".
+
+## V12 - 12/1/96
+
+* Advance pointers in pfCopyMemory() and pfSetMemory()
+ to fix PF_NO_CLIB build.

+ automagically when the Forth starts and quits.
+* Change all int to int32.
+* Changed DO LOOP to ?DO LOOP in ENDCASE and LV.MATCH

+ required by some primitive operating systems. My
+ apologies to those with modern computers who suffer
+ as a result. ;-)

+
+* Cleaned up and documented for alpha release.
+* Added EXISTS?
+* compile floats.fth if F* exists

+* added FS@ and FS! for FLPT structure members
+
+## V8 - 5/1/95
+
+* Report line number and line dump when INCLUDE aborts
+* Abort if stack depth changes in colon definition. Helps
+ detect unbalanced conditionals (IF without THEN).
+* Print bytes added by include. Helps determine current file.
