<h3>13.1.1: Version 2.8</h3>


<h3>13.1.2: Version 2.8.0 [2001 Jul 30]</h3>

<b>New command syntax</b>
<ul>
<li>
Add `<font color="#82140F"><code>unlink</code></font>' command as a unix-familiar way to delete files
(see <a href="Unlink.html#Unlink">Unlink</a>).
<li>
Add `<font color="#82140F"><code>set page size</code></font>' command to clip to a given page size
(see <a href="Set.html#SetPage">Set Page</a>).
<li>
Add `<font color="#82140F"><code>substr</code></font>' RPN operator to permit extraction of sub-strings
(see <a href="TertiaryOperators.html#TertiaryOperators">Tertiary Operators</a>).
<li>
Add `<font color="#82140F"><code>default</code></font>' possibility for the `<font color="#82140F"><code>set x name</code></font>' and the
`<font color="#82140F"><code>set y name</code></font>' commands.
<li>
Add Perl-like ability to put underscores in numerical constants, to
guide your eye.  These underscores are ignored by Gri, so that for
example `<font color="#82140F"><code>.v. = 1_000</code></font>' and `<font color="#82140F"><code>.v. = 1000</code></font>' are equivalent as far
as Gri is concerned.
</ul>
<p>
<b>Emacs mode</b> (see <a href="Emacs.html#EmacsMode">Emacs Mode</a>)
<ul>
<li>
Give `<font color="#82140F"><kbd>M-Tab</kbd></font>' the
ability to complete builtin variables and synonyms as well as
commands
<li>
Add ``idle-timer minibuffer help'' to display defaults for builtin
variables under the cursor.
<li>
Add fontification of builtin variables <em>only</em>
if they are spelled correctly.
</ul>
<p>

<b>Developer changes</b>
<ul>
<li>
Add `<font color="#82140F"><code>make source-arch-indep</code></font>' target in sources.  This will build a
source tar file in which all the architecture-independent material
(documentation in HTML, postscript and Info formats) is pre-made.  This
makes it easier to install gri on a host that doesn't have TeX and
ImageMagick installed.
<li>
Complete the port to IBM's compiler for their AIX operating system.
</ul>
<p>
