Indeed, though packaging systems like to use released versions of
software, and users like to use whatever their packaging system offers
them. Having any sort of formal, numbered SIMH release - call it 4.0 or
3.99 or 7.5q for all that it matters - will encourage packaging systems
to update to that version, and will then expose more users to the most
current version of the software. A very significant number of changes
have happened since the last formal release (3.9) and it would seem
appropriate to have a more modern version available to most users.
Right. But notice that his packaging system installed 3.8.1-5, so they
are not even on 3.9...

Isn’t it time that SimH 4.x came out of Beta status and became the

I’ve just done apt-get install simh on a Raspberry Pi over a new
Raspbian (Debian) install, and it still gets 3.8.1-5.
What’s the current timescale for shift to 4.x as the live
version to happen?
Hum. Isn't this something outside the control of simh? What version
various packaging systems use is up to the packaging systems.
simh 3.9 was released many years ago, but apparently are still not
picked up by the debian system you are using.
