GNU Modula-2 release 0.49

Hi,

I've just released gm2-0.49, which is available via CVS or
gm2-harness-0.5 and also as a huge tarball download combined with
gcc-3.3.6.

The GNU Modula-2 homepage has also been updated and hopefully is
easier to navigate.

The changes in gm2-0.49 include:

* all regression tests pass on Debian Pure 64 (unstable) and
Debian (unstable) i386 and SUSE 9.1

* all University of Ulm libraries compile and are installed
(these can be accessed by the switch -Wlibs=ulm).

* some logitech-3.0 compatible libraries have been implemented
and these are available via -Wlibs=logitech. The libraries
which have been implemented are:

CardinalIO Display InOut Keyboard RealInOut
Termbase Terminal Delay ErrorCode
DebugTrace Conversions DebugPMD

* the coroutines support inside SYSTEM for PIM-[234] is also
installed together with SysVec which maps file descriptors
onto interrupt vectors so that IOTRANSFER can be utilized.
Also installed is an Executive and TimerHandler module.
(Available via: -Wlibs=pim-coroutine)

* GNU Modula-2 now implements all PIM-[234] with the exception
of variables declared at particular addresses and module
priorities.

* a wide range of bug fixes have been applied.

* the documentation in gm2/gm2.texi has been overhauled
and it now includes a release map (please take a look!)

Many thanks to everyone who has submitted bug reports, patches and
suggestions.

enjoy,
Gaius

I tracked this down to here:

http://floppsie.comp.glam.ac.uk/Glam...NUModula2.html

It seems that the binaries are a bit older, in particular the .deb which
seems to be orphaned at Free Modula-2 Pages. I'd be interested in
either the .deb or the environment for compiling the .deb myself (the
setup files in particular).

Hi William,

There is now a debian directory within the gm2 tree (gm2/debian)
which seems to build a package - I confess I've built it but not
stressed the package (or installed it). I've just updated it to
build on an Opteron (using gcc-3.3.6) as the GCC source tree.
Feel free to use these configuration files as a starting point

regards,
Gaius

The binary build is now up to date (checked out August 15) and is
available from

http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a9406973/modula2/

Sorry for the delay.

Christoph
