[ES40-announcements] Version 0.14 released (first boot version!)

[Camiel V. <iam...@gm...>]

Hello everyone,

I've just released version 0.14 for download. This version incorporates the
changes necessary to boot OpenVMS 7.3-1 in conversational bootstrap mode.

Changes are:

* bugs in VAX floating point routines
* bug in convert_address
* addition of instructions for ADDL/V, SUBL/V, ADDQ/V, SUBQ/V, MULQ/V
(currently treated as if the /V qualifier wasn't present, so no overflow
checking)
* addition of instructions for CVTDG, CVTGD, CVTGF and MULG
* disabled access checks on virtual address translations (this should
obviously be re-enabled, but apparently there's something buggy there...)

Clearly, there's still  lot of work to be done (like clearing up the issue
with the access-checks), but I find this progress to be really encouraging.
Once again, many thanks to Eduardo Marcelo Serrat.

You can download this version from the download page now.

Camiel.
