[PkK]

Dear ColecoVision developers,

sdcc can be found at: http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/

 

libcv and libcvu have had many improvements, which are included in the newly released version 0.19 / 0.12 (some of them depend on new features in sdcc 3.0.0). Here's the full list of changes since the previous release:
