DBYTE manual

Start with a file that runs. Then follow the bytes when something breaks. 13.5.0 is the current Windows/Linux build; the older contracts are still here where they belong.

FIRST VISIT? Verify the 13.5 package, run one file, then use the language map. Need exact release identity? Open release proof.

When it breaks

Capture the exact version, command and smallest reproducer. Find the first layer that lied. Package identity, language semantics, Native MIR, ABI/object format and physical hardware are separate evidence layers.

Archived software releases: 13.3–13.4.1

These versioned binary releases are preserved separately from 13.5.0; release pages provide exact Git tag identities, packages and checksums.

What changed between releases

13.3 lexer → 13.4 source emission and media primitives → 13.4.1 maintenance → 13.5 for/range and pure functions. Compare each version and capability before using an older package.
