[GXemul-users] GXemul 0.4.7 has been released

[Anders G. <ga...@gm...>]

Hello GXemul users,

GXemul 0.4.7 has been released, 2009-01-02.

The main change from 0.4.6.6 is:

 * Motorola 88K emulation is now complete enough to run a guest
   operating system: OpenBSD/mvme88k 4.4. [*]

   A big thank you goes to Miod Vallat, who sent me physical 88100
   documentation, via snail mail. This has been invaluable when
   implementing the 88K emulation mode.

Motorola 88K is the fifth architecture to be considered "stable" in
GXemul. It is interesting both from a historical perspective (being
Motorola's RISC attempt between the 68K and PowerPC architectures), and
from an emulation perspective (emulation of the execution pipeline).
