23 * Added some rudimentary Falderal tests.
24 * Added UNLICENSE to emphasize the public domain status of these materials.
25 * Made `zowie.py` file executable, using `/usr/bin/env` to find `python`.

29 -----------
30
31 * Made syntax more strict:
32 * Names of commands and registers must be in uppercase.
33 * Previous lax parsing of indirect register references was dropped.
34 * Because this above changed the definition of the language, but not in any
35 jaw-dropping way, the minor version number was bumped.
36 * Uses of regular expressions and old-style classes `zowie.py` were dropped.
37 * Added ability to compile `zowie.py` with RPython from PyPy version 2.3.1.

00 Tests for ZOWIE
11 ===============
2
3 This non-exhaustive test suite is written in format of Falderal 0.9.
24
35 -> Tests for functionality "Interpret ZOWIE Program"
46
0 This Falderal fixture tests the compiled-with-RPython version of the ZOWIE
1 reference interpreter.
2
3 This requires `fa-under-pty`, which is a part of Falderal version 0.10.
4
5 It requires `fa-under-pty` because, for whatever reason, executables produced
6 by RPython from PyPy version 2.3.1 do not handle having their stdout redirected
7 very well. Specifically, they dump core. It is for this very reason that
8 `fa-under-pty` was written, in fact.

010 -> Functionality "Interpret ZOWIE Program" is implemented by
111 -> shell command
212 -> "fa-under-pty ./zowie-c %(test-body-file)"
