============
VERSION 41.0
============
No significant changes since the 40.6 beta release other than the
mechanism (and macros) for building debug versions has been cleaned
up and the version number has been bumped to 41.0.
Did include the cat'able man pages back in the source tree, but no
work has been done yet to track down the sources for the man pages
and arrange for them to be properly integrated into the tree and
have the cat'able versions generated from those sources.
============
VERSION 40.6
============
Many bugs have been fixed since the 40.4 release, including a serious
one that was causing memory corruption and many enforcer or mungwall
hits.
Network support has been reintegrated into the library, however it is
still mostly untested. In particular, many functions are only
available for static linking from the libnet.a library. By the next
release, it is expected that libnet.a will be incorporated in libc.a.
Work is underway to merge the best features from at least two
different strains of the ixemul library. Many more changes are
expected by the 41.0 release.
An environment variable called "IXSTACK" is now used to control the
stack size of programs started by system(). If the current stack is
smaller than the value in IXSTACK, the stack is raised to the value
specified in IXSTACK. So IXSTACK is a minimum value.
Automatic stack checking, with a requestor if the stack overflows, is
available for executables compiled with a version of gcc that supports
the -mstackcheck option. This also requires linking with new crt0 and
libc.a.
Automatic stack extension as necessary is available for executables
compiled with a version of gcc that supports the -mstackextend option.
This also requires linking with new crt0 and libc.a.
