When preparing the upgrade I didn't have access to my 1.5.10.3 sources any more. I had disk problems, and the 1.5.10.3 directory was not backed up, because I decided that must likely I wouldn't need the backup, and if I would need it I could still upgrade from my own postings. Well, of course with the disk problems I lost 1.5.10.3, so I had do do the upgrade myself. By doing so I seem to have made some mistakes. commands/fixbin.sh: it could well be that I send out the wrong version. fs/main.c: the crc for fs/main.c depends on where your starting source come from. This is a real pain in the &$%#. Check the atari copyright message. I think the year in my version is 1991. Anyway, if you have a mismatched crc, just change the year (from 1991 to 1990 or the other way around) and see if the crc is becomes correct. inlcude/signal.h: I do not have any idea what causes the difference. I'll check and perhaps follow up with a complete version. include/out.h: oops. I think I made a small change after making the crc list. Just apply the fix, and ignore the crc (the fix is pretty minor). kernel/stfloppy.c: it has been suggested by Frank Breure that you should cdiff against the 1.5.10.0 version. seems like a good idea to me. See if the crc's match. I definitely diffed against an old version. kernel/stdskclk.c: strange. Frank Breure mentions that he could not get the crc's right for this file, while Bob green does not mention this file on his wrong crc list. kernel/ansi.h: not needed. forget about it. lib/other/sigset.c: not needed. forget about it. I misplaced the stuff on my disk. lib/posix/syslib.c: not needed. forget about it. lib/posix/waitpid.c: not needed. forget about it. Based upon my mail and news, I think there are no major problems. I'll wait a few weeks to see if anything more comes up, and then follow up with 1.5.10.5, which fixes the inconsistencies. Enjoy, Frans. PS: as mentioned by someone there is no list of changes After fixing my disk I went to work on 1.6, and I didn't keep a log for that. 1.5.10.4 is mainly the 1.6 kernel minus a few files which were too drastically changed. You might notice that because a few of the functions mentioned in proto.h do not yet exist in 1.5.10.4 I think the most important changes in 1.5.10.4 are: - several bug fixes. Thanks to the net who contributed several of these. - improved format program. added include files to all other commands/atari files - integrated PC and ST dmp.c files. stdmp.c is gone. - support for 12 bit high fonts. - more configurable kernel.
