Release 2008.04.26

From this point on, I'm going to try to do a release at the end of any week that sees improvements to the Retro codebase.

This week brings a couple of minor changes and improvements:
  • Ngaro JS now included in the package
  • A tool (in Toka) to build an image.js for Ngaro JS
    (This does not work properly on 64-bit systems, I'll try to fix in the next week or two)
  • A new (remap-keys) hook has been added to allow alteration of the values returned by key before they can be processed by other words
  • New whitespace module, which uses (remap-keys) to convert TAB, CR, and LF to SPACE
  • retro.config renamed to extensions
  • Minor cleanups to start organizing the modules
My short term plans are to finish organizing the module sources, and to put up an online tool for building a custom forth.image without requiring anything other than a web browser.

Possible change to 'key'

As mentioned by Snoopy42 on #retro, the Retro 10 system has been ignoring any whitespace separators other than space. Since this can be a problem, I've modified key to convert other whitespace forms (return, tab) into spaces. I'm not sure I like this, so stay tuned.
