DBYTE 13.4.0 · ARCHIVED SOFTWARE RELEASE

DBYTE 13.4.0

Compile-time code and raw pixels.

13.4 adds compile-time source emission, 8-bit indexed pixels and PCM16/WAV primitives. No H.264, AAC, MP4 muxer or physical VGA output.

Local annotated tag: v13.4.0. This is historical software evidence; it does not supersede the current 13.5.0 documentation. No physical BIOSTAR qualification is claimed for 13.4.0.

What 13.4 changed

This version includes bounded comptime source generation. Exact tagged source: examples/ctfe_computed_emit.dby:

comptime {
    let header: str = "pub fn answer() -> i32:\n    return "
    let result: int = 6 * 7
    emit_source(header + str(result) + "\n")
}

pub fn main() -> i32:
    return answer()

This fixture computes 6 × 7 and emits the implementation of answer(). It does not establish support for 13.5-only for index in range(start,end) or user-defined recursive compile-time functions.

Experimental graphics and PCM audio

runtime/v13.4.0/graphics_pixel_v134.dby provides indexed 8-bit pixel/rectangle operations and RGB332 palette conversion on caller-owned virtual memory. runtime/v13.4.0/audio_pcm_v134.dby writes clipped little-endian PCM16 and a 44-byte RIFF/WAV header; the caller must append the sample bytes separately.

These are experimental primitives, not a display driver or multimedia encoder. Physical VGA output, H.264, AAC, MP4 and a completed OS are not release-qualified capabilities. The source file docs/MEDIA_RUNTIME_V13_4_DRAFT.md records development-stage evidence; the annotated tag plus offline seal establish the subsequent immutable software release.

Local offline seal

The original offline seal for v13.4.0 is preserved in the project root. Its SHA-256 is 83418ed64b6179288a910e92ef5ee8310d180d8bd9e8968ef967ddf716b54f96. This website records the value without modifying the sealed artifact.

Independent release-verification evidence is scoped to Windows/Linux software. Physical BIOSTAR, real storage and a finished OS remain separate acceptance gates.
