FlexProp 6.3.0

PLEASE NOTE: FlexProp is not an official Parallax product, and queries for support should be made here on github and not to Parallax.

FlexProp is a simple IDE for programming the Parallax Propeller2 and/or Propeller1. It is a front end for the flexspin compiler, which can compile Spin, BASIC, PASM, or C code to Propeller 1 or 2 assembly language. The Spin and BASIC support is quite complete, and while the C support is a work in progress it works for many things.

There are several new features in the 6.3.x series, including fixed support for littlefs RAM disks (see samples/shell/shell.c), the ability to create global definitions with #pragma exportdef, and improved C library support. There are also numerous bug fixes, and a new option for running without any terminal window.

Also note that the FlexProp config file format has changed, so very old config files won't be used by this version. That means that settings like baud rate, fonts, and so on won't be carried over from pre-6.1.x to post-6.2.x.
.
To use it, download "flexprop-6.3.0.zip" and then unpack it into a folder. Run flexprop.exe (or flexprop if you are on a Mac). The menus should be fairly self explanatory. The GUI will compile whatever file is on top when you click the "Compile" or "Compile & Run" button, unless there is a project (.fpide) file open, in which case it will compile that.

For Linux installation, the safest course is to build from source (see the directions on the main flexprop page on Github).

Thanks to the support of my patrons at https://www.patreon.com/totalspectrum we have digital signing certificates for both Mac and Windows. The certificate used in this release is relatively new, which may cause a warning on Windows which you may safely ignore. Also, when FlexProp starts it scans the network for propellers attached via WiFi; this may generate a warning from some malware protection programs, which again, may safely be ignored.
