jMIPS / News: Recent posts

jMIPS packages for 1.8a (experimental) and 1.7e (stable) have been uploaded to sourceforge. 1.7e contains some documentation tweaks. 1.8a contains the full set of documentation/translations from the Wiki as well as two new CPU models.

This release contains the GUI for running the predefined CPU models back-ported from the experimental tree. Minor infrastructure changes accompany it. Documentation has been updated slightly where required. Any packaging errors will get sorted out (silently) over the next few days.

Wiki pages for the TODO list, HOWTOs, FAQs and Miscellaneous stuff are also up and somewhat populated. The "Diary HOWTO" needs more contributions.... read more
