Please send mdk bug reports to bug-mdk@gnu.org. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Version 0.3.3 ** The output of the contents of binary devices in gmixvm can be configured to be in decimal or word format (for each block device). ** The main gmixvm window is not shown until it is completely drawn. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Version 0.3.2 (10/04/01) ** The colors used for highlighting MIXAL source lines in gmixvm are now customizable. ** The fonts used used in the different gmixvm widgets are now customizable. ** Input/ouput for all MIX block devices is shown in gmixvm. ** All gmixvm customizations are stored in a configuration file (inside ~/.gmixvm directory). ** Device files used by gmixvm are stored in ~/.gmixvm, instead of the working directory. ** Output to binary devices works now correctly. ** Bug on pmem fixed (thanks to Christoph von Nathusius and Jason Uhlenkott). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Version 0.3.1 (9/04/01) ** New binary and html RPMs (RedHat) contributed by Agustin Navarro . ** The package can be correctly build in FreeBSD 4.2 (Ying-Chieh Liao) ** Fixed configuration process when included gettext is used. ** The info files are now properly categorized in a dir entry, so that they can be properly installed. ** Compilation warnings fixed. ** getopt implementation provided for systems missing it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Version 0.3 (28/03/01) ** MDK is now an official GNU package. ** New GTK+ interface for the virtual machine (gmixvm). ** New mixvm-Emacs/GNUD interface via mixvm.el (Philip King). ** Readline and history support for mixvm are now optional features. ** JRED is now properly implemented (bug pointed out by Vasiliy Ozmetelenko). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Version 0.2 (07/01/01) ** mixvm provides virtual execution time statistics after each invocation of run or next. ** mixvm can trace instructions as they are executed. tron/troff commands turn on/off instruction tracing. ** mixvm accepts a new command, w2d, which computes the decimal value of a MIX word given as a series of bytes (e.g. - 01 00 34 32 22). ** Symbols can be defined at the mixvm prompt with the new command ssym. ** mixvm accepts a new command, weval, which allows the evaluation of MIXAL w-expressions. ** Expressions containing strings of successive '*' are now correctly evaluated. ** When using block devices in mixvm, the buffers are now flushed after each OUT operation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Version 0.1.1 (18/11/00) ** MDK is now compilable in rpm-based linuxes. ** MDK fully compliant with Knuth's specification. In particular, local symbols are now properly handled in special cases such as 3H ORIG 3B instructions. See samples/stress{1,2}.mixal. ** Future references affected by unary minus are accepted with a warning (they are banned in Knuth's specification). Also future refs in EQU directives are now properly handled. See samples/stress{3,4}.mixal. ** When mixvm executes a program and reaches the end of the available memory without encountering a HALT instruction, it halts anyway. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Version 0.1 (31/10/00) ** Initial version ------------------------------------------------------- Copying information: Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, Free Software Foundation, Inc.
