What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· Can now pass arguments to procedures as well as return an argument (variable scoping and "call without Proc" still to do). The example was updated.
· Some bugfixes with number-to-string conversion. Type conversion is automatic unlike AMOS, so you can now do number+string as well as string+number.
