- Revision history
-
- Release 1.02
-
- * Found a bug in link 4.00, which was used in the release 1.01 build.
- The old linker was setting apparently random bits in the AREA
- attributes when it was partially linking the stubs files, which
- generated unsightly (but unimportant) warnings when used with
- link 5.xx. I now fix the attributes by hand after link has
- finished its work.
-
- Don't be alarmed if you never saw release 1.01 -- it only existed
- for about a day before the link error was spotted.
-
- Release 1.01
-
- * Fixed bugs in DLLManager's dll/app link caching.
-
- * Altered build for dllstubs and dlllib to use old assembler, linker
- and librarian, to prevent problems with people using pre-C/C++
- linkers.
-
- * Several minor changes to DLLMerge:
-
- - Embedded window templates in the main image. This makes it much
- faster at loading, particularly from floppy disk.
-
- - Reorganised directory structure within application:
-
- o Resources is now empty, so it's been removed.
-
- o Modules only contained Sculptrix, so that's been moved into the
- main directory. It was only there for update's benefit anyway.
-
- - Reduced the size of the image considerably, although it doesn't
- seem possible to fit it into a 4K wimpslot.
-
- - Now that AOF allows ADRLs to be relocated, I've been able to
- remove all the mucky LDR Rx,=<addr>s so it's all position
- independent now.
-
- * Corrected documentation of dll.h macros (see Errata).
-
- * Fixed textual version of manual to use spaces instead of tabs,
- which don't work properly in Edit and similar editors.
-
- Release 1.00
-
- * Initial release versions of all components.
