ftp://alix.inria.fr/pub/squeak/unix/2.3 contains the usual stuff for:
alpha-osf1-v4.0
i386-linux-2.0.36 (linked against glibc-2.0.7)
i386-linux-2.1.24 (linked against libc-5.4.38)
sparc-solaris-2.5.1
sparc-sunos-4.1.4
with the regular four-file snack-packs in the "distributions" directory.
Major noteworthies:
* graphics-related bug fixed (can anyone spot what it is? this bug
has been there since 1.13 and nobody noticed!)
* user-defined primitives are gone (definitively! -- use named
primitives instead)
* there's an optional low-res 1/50 second clock using ITIMER_REAL and
SIGALRM, avoiding lots of relatively expensive calls to gettimeofday()
NOTE: this means that sleep() won't work; if you really
absolutely cannot avoid calling sleep() from custom-made
code then change
#define USE_ITIMER
to
#undef USE_ITIMER
at sqXWindow.c:93 and recompile the VM
* the ".image" extension on the image name is added implicitly (you
have the option of omitting it on the command line)
* a couple of Makefile pimples squeezed, more or less as suggested by
Bert Freudenberg and Lex Spoon
Let me know of any problems ASAP. Enjoy!
Ian
