... and, of course, same binary size. Here is the text from the release page on GitHub:

This release contains an important feature: VARIABLE and ALLOT allocate RAM in NVM mode, and support for a new board, or rather a nice little hack: a $1.60 programmable power supply.

VARIABLE and ALLOT allocate RAM in NVM mode

This feature adds transparent handling of Forth variables in for dictionaries in Flash, which means that also RAM allocation is handled automatically in the background. Please refer to the documentation in the Wiki section Forth VARIABLE in NVM mode, and to Issue #16 for technical details.

New board DCDC

Some cheap Chinese boards have surprising properties: the CN2596-2 "DCDC converter with voltmeter" can be turned into a programmable power supply (in the sense of the word). Please refer to the Hackaday project, and to Board CN2596 in the Wiki for details.
