It'll be completed with a DLC release coming soon

complx

  • Menu option File > Clean Load removed since students were using it and wondering why tests were failing. (Zeroed out memory/registers can still be achieved through File > Advanced Load).
  • Simulate Subroutine Call dialog reworked, now doesn't require a stack label or a halt statement in the program. Also now supports Subroutines written using pass by registers.
  • New Menu option Start Replay String Server which allows complx to retrieve a replay string from host (when running in CS2110's Docker setup).

as2obj

  • Can now output a file with each memory address in all representations

pylc3

  • Soft Assertions - By default almost all assertXXX functions are soft, meaning they don't immediately end the test.
  • pyLC3 now outputs a JSON file with the test results (and assertions) in addition to the unittest text output.
  • pyLC3 now generates a verification string when a test fails. (Unfortunately complx can't use these yet, coming soon)
  • New functions fillString, fillArray to place a string or array at a specific address.
  • New function fillNode for writing an arbitrary "node" type with arbitrary data in memory
  • New function fillData for writing an arbitrary datastructure/struct/record out in memory
  • Assertion functions for the above types assertValueAt, assertStringAt, assertArrayAt, assertNodeAt, assertDataAt for checking structures beginning at a specific memory address.
  • assertAddress renamed to assertValueAt to conform to the new style of assertions.
  • callSubroutine / expectSubroutineCall now have a pass by registers mode to call a subroutine.
  • Fixed negative parameters for expectXXXCall acted weirdly.
  • Fixed output for assertReturned if a HALT statement was encountered before a RET statement.
  • Fixed expectSubroutineCall assertion output always displaying the params as unsigned numbers.
  • Changed pyLC3 now displays a note to students to post the full output from the grader.

liblc3

  • New warning when an invalid value is written to the PSR
  • Fixed broken R6 when backstepping when true traps was set.
