The mistake is that you didn't read the announcement:-)
This is a maintenance release that contains bug fixes for version 2.9.1
(see http://www.cc65.org/bugs.php for a list), but no additional features.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Emphasis by me.

This wouldn't be a small enhancement, but quite some work, since there is no
enum type in cc65. Enums are actually ints, and the tag values are global
constants of type int. This is compatible with the C standard. Adding a new
type would be possible, but it's more than just a "small enhancement", and
there are at least reasons to not add this now:
1. I have enough other things to add
2. There's a very simple workaround:
enum {
foo,
bar,
faz
};
typedef unsigned char foobar_t;
foobar_t e = foo;
3. Adding a new type would require me to touch the guts of the compiler,
which is often rather problematic.

Just include <stdbool.h>. And no, I don't have any spare time:-)
