 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.

 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 v1.x
+## Breaking changes from v2.x
 
-The newest release of z88dk has been included. This brings substantial improvements over v2.3, but I cannot guarantee it will compile your code in the same way. If this causes problems, please use an older version of the devcontainer.
+Boriel BASIC (zxbasic) has been updated. This version corrects a bug when referencing array data from assembly language. Code reliant on the old, faulty, behaviour may break.
+
+## New additions from v2.x
+
+The `pasta80` PASCAL compiler has been added. Example code is in `/opt/pasta80/examples`. Invoke the compiler by running `pasta`. A fun feature is that it can run in an IDE mode with vscode integration by running `pasta --ide`!
+
+`hdfmonkey` is a useful tool for manipulating the sdcard images needed for the Spectrum Next and its emulators.
