Hello,
CDE 2.4.0 is now released.
It's been uploaded to SF, and should start filtering out to the mirrors
soon.
Thanks again to everyone who contributed to this release.
Note: this will be the last release supporting imake/Imakefiles for
building.
The autotools-conversion branch will be merged into master shortly after
this release, even though it is not completely done (dtinfo and doc
building is still missing).
The relevant HISTORY section follows:
#######################################################################
### 2.4.0 (stable) 6/3/2021
This release adds support (and converts) to UTF-8 encoding for all
message catalogs. The help and dtinfo stuff (being based on docbook
2) is still using ISO8859-* encodings.
This will also be the last release to use imake/Imakefiles for
building. Once released, the autotools-conversion branch will be
merged into master shortly thereafter, and future releases will use
autotools.
The main highlights of this release:
- Conversion of message catalogs to UTF-8
- The ksh93 code used to build dtksh has been updated to something
from this century (hash: 66e1d446), and a lot of work has gone into
making it work with CDE's dtksh
- Many build related warnings and bugs have been addressed as usual.
- Linux (and some BSD's) support PAM and utempter allowing the removal
of the SUID root bit for dtsession and dtterm
- Preliminary risc-v support
- Preliminary support for the musl C library
- many fixes related to old K&R code, new compiler versions and
other related fixes

Lev Kujawski (20):
Define _DtPLATFORM_MAX_LEN for C libraries (including musl) that
do not provide the SVID SYS_NMLN definition. Use sizeof() to replace
another #ifdef.
Rename functions within ToolTalk that conflict with the musl C
library headers.
Hide FILE internals from the musl C library that conflict with
the Desktop Korn Shell's SFIO.
On Linux, use the SVR4 (now POSIX) signal and locking interfaces
instead of the non-standard BSD equivalents.
On Linux, use SVR4's (now POSIX) mktime() instead of BSD's
non-standard timelocal().
Use the C99 standard va_copy if possible for compatibility with
the musl C library.
Define time_t within AccessI.h by including <time.h>.

C library:

musl C library
