Short: High-level replacement for Setfunction V5.29 BETA
Type: util/libs
Uploader: snfuchs@sokrates.franken.de
Author: snfuchs@sokrates.franken.de
Version: 5.29

This is a BETA release.
This is the fifth release of the patch.library (V5.29 BETA) programmer's pack.
Its main features are:
- Remove your patches ANY TIME even if another program has installed a patch
afterwards
- Limit the tasks using the patch by taskname, taskid or a pattern of tasknames
- no problems patching pre-V36 dos.library
- automatically flushes caches, when required
- priority system lets you decide, which patch to run first
- enable or disable patches
- Remove many patches with one function call (project management)
- automatically extend stacks, if required
- ...
Support programs offer even more features!
To sum it up:
It's easy to use, expandable and safe.
Major changes since the last Beta (V5.15)
- The tag PATT_SaveRegisters has been dropped (Never worked reliable)
- New Extended-Result-System added:
- This allows writing patches in 100% SAS/C
- New function PatchAlloc() added
- New tag PATT_UseXResult added
- Example program LongDelay included
- Low memory handler sometimes did not all it could do
- some bugs were fixed
News since the V4 release:
- Notification system
- Automatic stack extension system
- Include/exclude tasks via pattern
- Change priority of active patches
- PATT_LibName now accepts full paths
- New version of PatchList included
- Many bugs fixed
- ....
Also within this archive:
- ShowNeededFiles patches dos.library to print messages whenever Open(),
LoadSeg() or Lock() is called. Assembler source is included.
- CPUClr patches graphics.library/BltClear() to use the CPU instead of the Blitter
(saves some time on a faster Amiga). Assembler source is included.
- PatchList displays informations about patches of library functions
installed with patch.library.
