06JULY2006

Added new platform — EM1000.
Added "Platform revision Programming Information" topics to EM202 and EM1000 platform documentation.
stor. Object got new property — stor.base. Entire description of the object has been updated because of that.
Clarification has been added to the romfile. Object description. This object can only access first 65,534 bytes of each file, even if the actual file is larger.
Entire new beep. Object has been added.
New feature in io. Object — io.enabled property was added.
New feature in sys. Object — see PLL Management, sys.currentpll, sys.newpll, sys.resettype.
New features in ser. Object — support for Wiegand and clock/data interfaces. New topics include: Three Modes of the Serial Port with subtopics, ser.mode, and ser.autoclose. A lot of other topics have been changed — too many to list here.
Change in sys.buffalloc behavior: now if the serial port (socket) to which the buffer belongs is not closed (idle) the buffer size will remain unchanged. This affects ser.rxbuffrq, ser.txbuffrq, sock.rxbuffrq, sock.txbuffrq, sock.tx2buffrq, sock.cmdbuffrq, sock.rplbuffrq, sock.varbuffrq.
Corrected errors in the Enum pl_io_num (pin descriptions were wrong — RTS, CTS, DTR, and DSR lines were shown at incorrect positions).
Corrected ser.txlen, ser.txfree, sock.txlen, sock.txfree property descriptions. These properties do not take into account uncommitted data in the TX buffer (it was stated otherwise previously). Consequently these topics were also edited: Buffer Memory Status, TX and RX Buffer Memory Status. ser.notifysent, on_ser_data_sent, sock.notifysent, on_sock_data_sent, ser.setdata, and sock.setdata have been amended accordingly.
Corrected mistakes related to date/time conversion functions — date function was erroneously documented as "day" function, weekday function description was missing altogether. Topics of other date/time related functions — year, month, daycount, hours, minutes, and mincount were slightly corrected.
