Mature Changelog

2017-02-13

  • ARM: OLR.OBC.Mod faster load/store of global variables
  • ARM: made DIV/MOD OBERON compatible; x86 version still gives wrong result for a DIV/MOD b if a and b are negative
  • system split to mature version (x86 and ARM) and ROP2 based version

2016-10-21

  • RISC-V compiler: made all traps work like in MIPS with current qemu-risc32; Fixed condition code bug in compiler; no known bugs in compiler!

2016-10-12

  • RISC-V compiler: removed compiler limitations.HALT(MAX(INTEGER)) does not work because of system limitation.

2016-10-02:

  • RISC-V compiler: no known bugs, but likely unknown bugs. Current compiler limitations are marked with warnings in the 900 range

2016-09-14:

  • OLR.Files.Mod: map old files shared so that close does not need to write the data
  • RISC-V: compiles Gadgets, but still has bugs
  • Display: Default X11 window size always smaller than display size
  • Kernel.GetConfig: fixed environment pointer; no trap at boot possible any more

2016-08-25:

  • OLR.Display.Mod, OLR.Input.Mod: Added HiDPI mode
  • Linux0: implemented Openat0, UTimensat0, Renameat0, UnLinkat0, FStatat0, removed Open0, UTimes0, Rename0, UnLink0, Stat0 (new versions are more up to date)
  • RISC-V backend: heavy changes

2016-08-04:

  • Texts.Mod: added "-" to nameChars
  • heavy internal compiler changes for MIPS
  • added RISC-V backend and decoder (VOPL.Mod VOPC.Mod VOPV.Mod VDecoder.Mod)
  • MBootLinker and Modules linking RISC-V files

2016-04-16:

  • OLR.System.Mod: converting CR/LF CopyClip and PasteClip

2016-04-15:

2016-04-13:

  • Added Input.Copy and Input.Paste to copy/paste to/from X11 clipboard. Input.Paste is called by pressing "Ctrl-v". For TextFrames, Input.Copy is called automatically when selecting text.
  • OLR.MIPS.Linux0.Mod: Fixed Open flags
  • OLR.*.Linux0.Mod: added ODSYNC* open flag

2016-03-30:

  • ARM: made Display.CopyBlock significantly faster on ARM for unknown reason by code change
  • MIPS: renamed compiler to RCompiler, compilecommand to CompileM
  • MIPS: now really using 2 FP registers for procedure argument passing

2016-01-17:

  • ARM compiler: made some optimizations (constant loading, loading of (long-) real variables, but benchmarks don't speed up

2016-01-13:

  • ARM compiler: using VFP registers directly, made hardware div instruction configurable ("OIDIV=True"); please test!

2015-12-19:

  • ARM compiler: removed SoftFloat, Hardfloat. Calling VFP directly
  • MIPS compiler: small changes (made ENTIER faster)

2015-12-12:

  • Split Kernel into Linux0 and Kernel
  • MIPS: Compiler internal changes

2015-12-03:

  • MIPS: merged MCompiler should now actually work, MCompiler.CompileT uses 14GPR registers (ARM32 offers 15 :-)
  • OLR.Kernel.Mod: dynamic heap allocation should work, but currently is not very useful as applications often check for available RAM and refuse to load if not enough RAM is available
  • OLR.Input.Mod: mouse does not lag on MIPS any more
  • OLR.Display.Mod: minor cosmetic changes

2015-11-13:

  • MIPS: Merged MTCompiler and M2Compiler to MCompiler

2015-11-10:

  • OLR.FileDir.Mod: using match procedure from Jan de Kruyf
  • OLR.X86.Kernel.Mod: Changed trap No. for SIGFPE to 10; trap numbering still needs re-work
  • MIPS: added test MTCompiler.CompileT for producing code without register parameters; M2BooltLinker option t links that file statically

2015-10-10:

  • fixed FileDir.Directory; respecting the path of the directory, pattern matching should find all matches
  • MIPS object files rename to *.Obj and moved to mips directory again as symbol files of experimental MIPS compiler differ

2015-09-05:

  • MIPS object files renamed to *.Obm; they reside flat in olr directory together with symbol files
  • MIPS compiler front end renamed to ROPx.Mod
  • MIPS compiler backend renamed to MOPx.Mod
  • MIPS compiler renamed M2Compiler, produces MIPS II code, better register allocation, peephole optimization not possible/necessary any more

2015-07-31

  • Files.Old, Files.WriteBytes; made mmap MAPPRIVATE
  • OLR.Dim3Engine.Mod: set spec[n] :=0.0; in Clip for compatibility with MIPS, ARM
  • changed OLR.OPM.Mod to possibly support different architectures with same front end

2015-07-22:

  • OLR.?Kernel.Mod: exported NoOfArgs, GetArg, Static
  • set X (execute) flag on bootlinked files
  • using Kernel routines in FileTools.CopyTo

2015-07-12:

  • OLR.?BootLinker: Calling Oberon.Collect so that output file is not busy
  • added OLR.?Browser.Mod, OLR.Browser.Mod (wrapper for ?Browser.ShowdDef)
  • OLR.OPP.Mod: ProcedureDeclaration: initialized sysflag; XCompiler now works on MIPS

2015-07-05:

  • OLR.MIPS.Kernel.Mod: fixed system call return codes
  • OLR.x.Kernel.Mod GetConfig using stack
  • OLR.Gadgets.Tool: Gadgets should be complete now, Asteroids.Mod and Swarm.Mod don't compile on MIPS; Leonardo fails on ARM
