The command message parser was revamped. The two goals were to simplify add-on command messages and to simplify automatic generation of command messages.
- There is now a special syntax to address a message to a particular add-on (foo: command). This was done in the hope that new add-ons will accept that format. Recent PDK versions contain a function that simplifies the implementation of such parsers.
- There is no longer a line length limit. This only gets in the way when programs write messages.
- You can write long commands yourself by continuing them on the next line, starting with a "+" sign.
- Some commands can be externalized.
These features is also available in PHost 3.4b (externalization: 3.4d).
