The relevant changes for FreeBSD (excerpt from the release note):
* Newly implemented CORE EXT words: CASE, OF, ENDOF, and ENDCASE. Also
added FALLTHROUGH, which works like ENDOF but jumps to the instruction
just after the next OF.
* Bugfix: John-Hopkins locals syntax now accepts | and -- in the comment
(between the first -- and the }.)
* Bugfix: Changed vmGetWord0() to make Purify happier. The resulting
code is no slower, no larger, and slightly more robust.
they can be used with cell operators like !.
As I did this, I noticed the whole CELL thing might have problems with
big endian architectures with sizeof(int)!=sizeof(void*).
This version has a step debugger, which now completely replaces the
old trace feature. Also, we moved all of the FreeBSD-specific MI
code to loader.c, reducing the diff between this and the official
FICL distribution.
Also, export the file_findfile() function. Again, this is taken from
work in progress but frozen for the time being. Since it works, I'd
rather commit and remove any uglyness later than hide it on my tree.
I added a FICL_TRACE-conditioned trace facility based on "see".
It is ugly because words' functions are almost all static, and ficlExec,
where the trace has to be located, can't get their pointers. So, #ifdef
this staticization, and add most of see's body into ficlExec. Duplication
of code, uglyness, etc. But it is cleanly #ifdef'ed, and works like a
charm.
It does not provide "step" facility, though, just trace. It is
tunable at run-time through "trace!". If anyone (most likely me :) ever
wants a step facility, I'll add it. Should be easy.

this will allow us to manage bloat in the loader by using a bytecoded HLL
rather than lots of C code. It also offers an opportunity for vendors
or others with special applications to significantly customise the boot
process without having to commit to a divergent code branch.
This early commit is to allow others to experiment with the most effective
mechanisms for integrating FICL with the loader as it currently stands.
