I don't know if there has been an update since v1.05, but this had several
improvements over the 1.04 in RISC OS 2.00. I can't recall most of them,
but I do remember that it gives proper error messages when errors occur
in libraries (i.e. the real library line number is given as ERL instead of
the last line of the main program!), and it also allows
  IF whatever THEN :REM a multi-line if-then statement
    do-something
  ENDIF
while BASIC 1.04 took the first line as being a single-line IF-THEN.
(Actually a bit annoying as it broke several programs of mine that relied
on the fact that I could say:
  IF condition THEN :REM I must write some code here!

There are also some new instructions I think...
