kOS Mod Changelog

v0.14

New Hotness

Updated fonts, Thanks @MrOnak
Now runtime errors show source location and call stack trace (Github issues #186 and #210). Example:

    Tried To push Infinity into the stack.
    At MyProgramFile2 on Archive, line 12
        PRINT var1/var2.
                  ^
    Called from MyProgramFile1 on Archive, line 213
    RUN MyProgramFIle2("hello").
    ^
    Called from StartMission on Archive, line 2.
    RUN MyProgramFile1.
    ^
    _

(WHEN and ON) Triggers that are taking longer than an Update is meant to take, and thus can freeze KSP are caught and reported (Github issue #104). Gives the user an explanatory message about the problem.
- WARNING: Because of a change that had to be done for this, it is Highly recommended that you increase your InstructionsPerUpdate setting in config.xml to 150% as much as it was before (i.e. from 100 to 150, or if it was 200, make it 300.).
Multiple Terminal Windows - possible to have one open per CPU part. (Github issue #158)

Old and Busted ( now fixed )

"rename" was deleting files instead of moving them. (Github issue #220).
Was parsing array index brakets "[..]" incorrectly when they were on the lefthand side of an assignment. (Github issue #219)
SHIP:SENSORS were reading the wrong ship's sensors sometimes in multi-ship scenarios. (GIthub issue #218 )
Integer and Floating point numbers were not quite properly interchangable like they were meant to be. (Github issue #209)

v0.13.1

Fixed an issue with Dependancies that kept kOS modules from registering

v0.13

MAJOR

BREAKING: Commrange has more or less been removed from stock kOS, we realized that most of the behavior of it was copied by other mods and was invisible to users
BREAKING: All direction references are now relative to the controlling part, not the vessel, this will only break on vessels there these two directions are not the same.
BREAKING: Direction:Vector will always return a unit vector.
BREAKING: Body:Velocity now returns a pair of orbit/surface velocities just like Vessel:Velocity does. (previously it returned just the orbit velocity as a single vector.)
BREAKING: Direction*Vector now returns the rotated Vector, and vectors can be rotated with DIRECTION suffix.
BREAKING: DOCKINGPORT:DOCKEDVESSELNAME is not DOCKINGPORT:DOCKEDSHIPNAME
SHIP:APOAPSIS and SHIP:PERIAPSIS are deprecated for removal later, you can find them both under SHIP:OBT
SHIP:VESSELNAME is deprecated for later removal, use SHIP:NAME or SHIPNAME

New Features

Added the ability to get and set the current timewarp "Mode" either RAILS or PHYSICS
Added Boot files that will run when you get to the pad automatically, you select which one will run in the VAB thanks @WazWaz
Vessels and Bodies now can be used interchangeably as much as possible.
Three new prediction routines for finding state of an object at a future time:
POSITIONAT( Object, Time ).
VELOCITYAT( Object, Time ).
ORBITATAT( Object, Time ).
you can now get the FACING of all parts.
ITERATOR:END is now split into :NEXT and :ATEND
Direction can now always return a proper vector.
- IE SHIP:FACING returned V(0,0,0) before
Added a 3d Drawing tool for letting you draw lines and labels.
- Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn6lUozVUHA
Added a new and improved file editor so the edit command actually works again in game!
Added the ability to switch to MapView and back in code
ACTIVESHIP alias links to the ship that is currently under user direct control
added GEOPOSITION suffixes BODY and TERRAINHEIGHT

the aforementioned new parser by @marianoapp with all of its speed improvements and other goodies.
There's a config SpecialValue that can be used to control how some of the mod features work, like setting the execution speed, the integration with RT2 and starting from the archive volume.
The terminal screen can be scrolled using PageUp and PageDown
Negative numbers/expressions can be written starting with a minus sign, so no more "0-..."
Added ELSE syntax!
Added ELSE syntax!

This version adds a new 0.625m part. Thanks to SMA on this neat new addition.

it works as a kOS computer core
has 5000 units of code space
as a smaller part it is unlocked with "precision engineering" in career mode.
also has a light that will be controllable before the actual release

Bug fixes
