File Release Notes and Changelog
Release Name: 1.4.3
Notes:
Her eit is, another release of RosBE Windows. This one is mainly a bugfix release, but has some nice new stuff too. First the bugfixes: Colin did a great job simplifying my mess in some places. I fixes some of his bugs afterwards and ported it over to the PS Scripts. SOme Components ware updated to newer Versions and the GCC is optimized to use MMX and SSE now. It speeds up the build process to about 5-10% Have fun.
Changes:
- GCC is now optimized for Pentium3. Thus it uses MMX and SSE Optimizations (Colin Finck)
- Bison fixed for REAL. (Daniel Reimer)
- Updated SVN to 1.6.2 (Daniel Reimer)
- Updated yasm to 0.8.0 (Daniel Reimer)
RosBE-Windows spring cleaning:
- Rewrite most of the RosBE-Windows CMD scripts resulting in more compact and cleaner code. (Colin Finck)
- Remove the Standard MinGW Build Environment. We don't need it any longer since we have a new GCC. (Colin Finck)
- Get rid of the GCC 3.4.5-specific hacks: A properly compiled GCC 3.4.5 shouldn't need them. (Colin Finck)
- Get rid of the experimental ARM and PPC compiler support: It simply won't work that way and we can readd that
later, when we have proper compilers. (Colin Finck)
- Use setlocal wherever possible, so that we don't need to unload the used variables explicitly. (Colin Finck)
- Make the coding style more consistent. (Colin Finck)
- Commands like "make bootcd livecd install" work again. (Daniel Reimer)
- Cleaned up the PS Scripts with an eye to Colin's cleaning process and removed the Variable nulling because its
not needed at all. All vars are only available in the actual Script. So the are killed anyway. (Daniel Reimer)
- In PS Logs were generated, but without any warnings or errors in it. Additionally they were not even displayed
in the console too. This is now fixed. (Daniel Reimer)
- "buildno.h not found" errors i PS were fixed now that I was able to see them :-P (Daniel Reimer)
- Fixed chdefgcc, charch and chdefdir for PS and Batch. (Daniel Reimer)
- Fixed version showing when using charch and chdefdir under PS. (Daniel Reimer)
- Fixed endless loop in update under PS. (Daniel Reimer)
- Fixed variables to TARGET GCC under PS. (Daniel Reimer)
