File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: xflat-0.1.4

Notes:
xflat-0.1.4
^^^^^^^^^^^

This released is focused primarily on C++ support.  This
includes supporting GCC 3.x style static initializers,
updating the C++ tests, and adding support in the wrapper
program xflat-ld.

This release has been verified through testing on a
big-endian ARM946, the linux 2.6.14 kernel, and a recent
uClibc snapshot on a 32-bit machine.

This tarball includes all of the XFLAT packages except for
the large archives directory.  To have a buildable system,
you will need to downlad the archives package separately
(see http://xflat.sourceforge.net Download information).


Changes:
0.1.0 2006-04-17  Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Initial Release
	* Code builds but XFLAT is untested in the buildroot
	  environment

0.1.1 2006-04-21  Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Updated documentation
	* Corrected errors in config/rosedale configuration
	* Created config/arm-linux ARM7 little endian configuration
	* Removed the setenv script; it is now stored with the
	  configuration.
	* uClibc patches moved to versioned directories.
	* Enable /sbin/init in busybox configurations
	* Fixed do_mmap arguments in linux 2.6 binfmt_xflat
	* Added big-endian target kernel support
	* Fixed error in xflat installation
	* Fixed errors in busybox and tinylogin link
	* Updated XFLAT startup files for uClibc >=0.9.28
	* XFLAT "Hello, world." runs for rosedale configuration
	  but does not yet boot to login.

0.1.2 2006-04-24  Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Fixed problem with xflat compatible liblongjmp.a
	* Added xflat compatible libsearch.a
	* Corrected busybox build; it needed special handling
	  for call to longjmp(), bsearch(), and qsort() and
	  access to _res.
	* Busybox and tinylogin were being built with the
	  wrong compiler.
	* Added capability to select bash or msh compatible
	  scripts.
	* Full working system demonstrated with new buildroot
	  integration using big-endian arm946 ("rosedale")

0.1.3 2006-05-02  Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Integrated XFLAT test suite (still some outstanding
	  C++ issues)
	* Converted all types used in XFLAT logic so that is should work
	  correctly under a 64-bit host Linux (untested).

0.1.3rc1 2006-05-02  Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* This release just fixes errors in the original 0.1.3 release
	* Fixed more dangling 32-/64-bit build issues

0.1.4 2006-05-04  Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Build tinylogin with statically linked libcrypt.  This could
	  change in the future if we decide to create a shared libcrypt.
	* Build tinylogin with -membedded-pic in CFLAGS
	* Correct building of C++ examples.
	* C++ static initializers work with gcc 3.x
	* Added C++ linking support to xflat-ld (not well tested)

0.1.5 2006-xx-xx Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
