An ENDMAP directive
PHASE and DEPHASE as synonyms of TEXTAREA and ENDT

FPOS directives to set the file position, and an expanded OUTPUT directive
The possibility to generate a symbol file
Minor bug fixes

Iwas expeting REPT working into the MACROs...

Have you seen the new features on sjasmplus?

I haven't had a chance to test it yet but is the symbol file compatible with for example blueMSX?

You won't see this kind of 'big' improvements in SjASM 0.39 versions.

Yes. Most of them.

I made this for use with the blueMSX debugger, which crashes on some symbolfiles SjASM creates...

Yes its most likely a bug or rather a limit on the size of the symbol strings (not sure how big but its quite small, like 20-30 characters). I've fixed this in the current dev build so if you want an updated version of the debugger, let me know (maybe I should put the bug fixed version on the bluemsx website)
