# Development tools for the ZX Spectrum v5.2
# Development tools for the ZX Spectrum v6.0
The Dockerfile is the basis of the devcontainer and can be changed to add or remove tools. It will take a long time to build locally, so by default the devcontainer will pull a prebuilt version. Edit `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` if you would rather build your own.

- hdfmonkey version 0.4 (for manipulating sdcard files for the Spectrum Next)
- git (version control)
- make (build control)
- John Elliott's TAPTOOLS version 1.1.3
- specform (add +3DOS header to a file)
- unspecform (removes +3DOS header)
- tapcat (combines files into a .tap file)
- tapls (lists content of a .tap file)
- tapget (extracts one or more files from a .tap file)
- tapsplit (extracts everything from a .tap file in one go)
- tap2dsk (builds a +3 or PCDOS image from a .tap file)
- mkp3fs (builds a +3 or PCDOS image from separate files)
- bin2bas (wraps a machine code program in a 2-line BASIC program that runs it)
- sna2tap (converts a .sna format snapshot to a .tap file)
- sna2dsk (converts a .sna format snapshot to a .dsk file)
- dsk2tap (converts a .dsk image to a .tap file which when run on a +3 recreates the original disk)
Several useful VSCode extentsions will be installed, including a Z80 assembly language server, Z80 and C debugger, Makefile support, BASIC syntax highlighter and more.
Thanks to the many authors of these wonderful tools and extensions; to think what we could have made with these in 1985!
## Breaking changes from v4.x
## Breaking changes from v5.x
Boriel BASIC (zxbasic) has been updated. There have been further bug fixes to array bounds which may break old code reliant on previous behaviour.
Some of the binaries, such as `sjasmplus`, are now found in a different $PATH, which may break some existing build scripts.
## New additions from v5.1
## New additions from v5.2
Boriel BASIC updated with bugfix for rounding error.
Addition of TAPTOOLS.
