Whilst I officially released version 1.4.3 last week, I have been updating it with new features and updating the download file as I do this. Since finding a small flaw, I have been working on fixing it leisurely since finding and solving the problem was not too difficult. I've not been updating the version number of these versions since I've released version 1.4.3 as a beta version so far. Nonetheless, version 1.4.3 is not finished. 

Anyway, the improvement I have added today is the long-awaited break() command. This function is void, meaning no return value, but it will quickly break you out of a loop you've entered - much faster than the return statement. So go on, give it a try; it's pretty good!

1.4.3 also removed the XOR statement from the logic parser. I want to remind you that there is now an xor function to do the same thing. 

1.4.3 is by far the cleanest version to date, and it tidies up a lot of the mess left from version 1.4.1 and 1.3.7, which were the hacked-together versions. 

Also, you are probably wondering about the name of this post since it talks about Isla de Muerta. Isla de Muerta is the name of the fictional island in the Pirates of the Caribbean films where the Black Pearl (aka the Wicked Wench) is anchored and is the name of version ZPE 1.4.3. The name was chosen because I'm a massive fan of films and Johnny Depp, mainly because I've been watching them all recently. I plan to name the following versions after things related to these films rather than after lochs of Scotland for now (I did name versions of my Data Project application after Scottish lochs for some time, too, but since I dropped support for it, I decided to continue the naming over to ZPE when it began).
