- DPMI: improved compatibility with x-32vm, PharLap and dos4gw DOS extenders (Rebel chess, Transport Tycoon etc no longer crash). - EMS: implemented a capability to map conventional memory pages. - Serial: extensive rework, speedup and bugfixing. [ please fill in the rest here! ] Then, after the features are outlined, you can find out which tickets at SF tracker were closed during the appropriate period of time. > Do you have some goals in mind for a release? Certainly! But, what's the use? They won't materialize any time soon. It is better to do the quick release right here right now than to wait forever til the goals are acomplished. > But I think distro packages are what most people are using. Are you > suggesting we update the news file, stabilize what there is now and > release it? I think so. And I'd rather replace "stabilize" with "test". If there are not too much of a regressions, then there is nothing to stabilize, but we don't even know if there are the regressions or not. Oh, and another important thing is that previously I was using dosemu on a 32bit PC, and now - on 64bit, which gives me a lot of regressions because of cpuemu... So, at this point I think we should ignore even the regressions, except for the most important and recent ones. The 64bit port is simply not stable enough right now and the 32bit port is not much in the use. > BTW, I think that link above is obsolete now, and that was before > fedora existed, taking the current git has been the way its done for > a while now. Yes, but this was the "last resort", rather than the right thing to do. The distributors should not package git at a random point, because it may be unstable. But, as there was no other choice, they had to. Back then, and now. And the link above is not even about making a release out of VCS: there were so called "development releases", which were taken by RedHat, resulting into this... So the current situation is even worse. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
