thanks! history.txt needs updating. I'll do that tomorrow. There's nothing else I can think of that is urgent. Brief list of user-visible/compilation changes: * OW 1.8 compatibility * ability to cross-compile from Linux * fnodes are eliminated, except for internal use inside DOS calls (2 fnodes in the SDA remain); SFTs are now compatible with MSDOS which helps some programs that look at these structures. * Fix rename in full root directories (Bugzilla bug 1908) * Fixed Int21/AX=4409 for drives from device drivers. * Add COUNTRY.SYS support (from unstable, Eduardo Casino). * Findfirst/findnext are more MSDOS compatible. * Fix SF bug 2380531 (DOS should not update directory entries for a created but not changed temp file that a buggy program forgot to close) * New SYS, merged from unstable branch. * build.bat has a few new options to simplify changing some settings on the fly without needing to edit config.bat. * Fix exit for self-owning PSPs: they should not close files or release memory (Christian Masloch). * Avoid calling media_check() too often (to get fewer Abort/Retry/Ignore prompts if you press I) * Check BPB instead of DPB to check for FAT32 after a BUILDBPB device call, to fix a problem with USBDRIVE. Pat: Jeremy wrote earlier that current SVN binaries are always at: http://fdos.org/kernel/ke386f32.zip - 386+, FAT32 enabled kernel http://fdos.org/kernel/ke86f16.zip - 8086+, FAT16/12 only kernel now would be a good time to test for everyone else too!
