modern implementations of classic programming languages • Matrix Brandy BASIC VI for console and SDL1.2: V1.23.3 released

Hi,

I have released version 1.23.3 of Matrix Brandy.

Changes include:
- General: Implemented code tidy-ups recommended by OpenBSD. Thank you to Jag Talon for this!
- Build: Added build option -DBRANDY_NOVERCHECK to disable new version checking on startup.
- BASIC: Implemented EXIT FOR, EXIT REPEAT and EXIT WHILE, based on the extensions in Richard Russell's BB4W, BBCSDL, BBCTTY and BBCZ80v5.
- BASIC: Implement == to be synonymous with = in comparisons. Another compatility follow from Richard Russell's BASICs.
- BASIC: Allow DIM var LOCAL -1 outside of FN/PROC (as per BB4W, BBCSDL, BBCTTY and BBCZ80v5).
- BASIC: Implement BBCSDL's PLOT BY x,y (equivalent to PLOT 65,x,y), and equivalent to POINT BY x,y in ARM BASIC V.
- BASIC: WIDTH is now operational for GUI mode and the 'tbrandy' text-mode builds. Note that unlike RISC OS it affects ALL output, including from built-in *-commands (but not external commands).

Source and binary downloads are available from the website, source is also available from GitHub.
