I've completed another version of nano-X/microwindows that takes
care of most of the last two week's concerns on this list.
Version 0.84 is now available at
ftp://microwindows.censoft.com/pub/microwindows/microwindows-0.84.tar.gz
Thanks to Brad LaRonde and Vidar Hokstad for input and changes for this release.
The major changes in this release are:
o completely support client/server model for nano-X programs.
o integration of truecolor support (thanks Brad)
o integration of nanoWidgets (thanks Vidar)
o support cross-compilation for MIPS linuxCE project (thanks Brad)
o integrated bug fixes from nano-X-0.5pre3
For those with truecolor systems, it would be nice to check this version
out, since I still can't run with truecolor. This version also compiles and runs
the complete nanoWidget set from Vidar with a single toplevel make, so
you all can check out what's new there. There are quite a few bug fixes
with the client/server networking code, many calls didn't previously work.
The make defaults to client/server builds now, although the linked application
model can be built with a switch for debugging.
Attached is the ChangeLog for this release
