Ndless v1.1 released
« on: July 31, 2010, 09:37:01 am »
-> Ndless v1.1

This is a bug fix and usability release, compatible with Computer Link 1.4 and with a build chain easier to use.

Non-developers users with Ndless already installed may not be interested by this version,  except for the OS upgrade fix.

Developers, as Ndless is work in progress, you will have to slightly adapt your source code, Makefiles and development environment as described in the section "Upgrading your developments and scripts" of the ReadMe file. Sorry for the inconvinience.

Here is the changelog:

Installer:
  - NEW: Compatible with Computer Link Software 1.4
  - NEW: Possible manual step to work around missed reboots
  - FIX: Installer doesn't force downgrade anymore when already on OS v1.1
  - FIX: Some transfer errors were not correctly reported
 Loader:
  - FIX: The OS could not be upgraded while Ndless was installed
 Tools:
  - NEW: Building executables made a little easier. See the demo's Makefile and "How do I
     set up a development environment?" section above.
  - NEW: Supports YAGARTO v4.5.0
  - FIX: MakeTNS: better error checking
 Include files:
  - NEW: Added fgets, stdin, stdout, stderr (thanks bsl)
  - NEW: Added printf, fprintf (thanks bwang)
  - NEW: Exhaustive key constants (thanks bwang)
  - NEW: added halt, idle
  - NEW: (ARM) added halt
  - FIX: log_rs232, fread


[edit] the URL is now ticalc.org's.

Cool!  I would download, but I already got Ndless installed.  Should I reinstall it with this version?

Yaay! Finally, some progress on ndless!

Is printf to the screen, or is it to the rs232 port?

Something else I thought of, could Nleash be intergrated into this, so if a user has the 2.1 os, the installer sends the Nleash file and instructs the user to open it.

fb39ca4: printf prints to the serial console
ExtendeD: Will programs built under our old (1.0) development environments still work with Ndless 1.1?

fb39ca4: anyway I hope Nleash won't be required for Ndless in the near future.
bwang: yes, the program format hasn't change.
