GCC - GNU C Compiler 3.4.6 (von NN)
Mainly due to the fact that GCC 3.3.5 (which is what is currently used by kLibc) is becoming too old to build the latest Mozilla trunk code, I started working on building a newer version of GCC.

I\'ve started with v3.4.6 - as the thought was that the amount of changed between 3.3.5 and 3.4.6 would be comparatively small compared with aiming for the \'latest\' GCC (currently 4.3.2).

The current binary has been used to build several projects successfully - ie rsync, Apache2, MySQL, Firefox 3.0-cvs, Ghostscript, ffmpeg amongst others

Known issues:

* strange warnings about make cycles when linking
* currently installs into \\usr\\local not usr

Changes since 20th September build:

- Built with high-memory support enabled
- Added support for \'fastcall\' calling convention (fixes warnings when building mozilla)
- statically link stdc++ to avoid using the older libstdc++ contained within libc063

Problems with this build can be reported using my bug tracker at:

http://mantis.smedley.info

The Battle for Wesnoth 1.45 - updated 20080928 (von NN)
Attention: This file has the length of ~ 160 MB!

The Battle for Wesnoth is a turn-based strategy game with a fantasy theme.

Theme: Silver Mage in action

Build up a great army, gradually turning raw recruits into hardened veterans. In later games, recall your toughest warriors and form a deadly host against whom none can stand! Choose units from a large pool of specialists, and hand-pick a force with the right strengths to fight well on different terrains against all manner of opposition.

Wesnoth has many different sagas waiting to be played out. Fight to regain the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate heir... step into the boots of a young officer sent to guard a not-so-sleepy frontier outpost... vanquish a horde of undead warriors unleashed by a foul necromancer, who also happens to have taken your brother hostage... guide a band of elvish survivors in an epic quest to find a new home.

200+ unit types. 16 races. 6 major factions. Hundreds of years of history. The world of Wesnoth is absolutely huge and limited only by your creativity - make your own custom units, compose your own maps, and write your own scenarios or even full-blown campaigns. You can also challenge up to 8 friends - or strangers - and fight in epic multi-player fantasy battles.

Features: Under the Burning Suns

* Build up a formidable fighting force, starting from a single leader and a small amount of gold.
* Over 200 unit types in six major factions, all with distinctive abilities, weapons and spells.
* Experienced units gain powerful new abilities as they advance.
* Several multi-player options available, including internet play.
* Scores of different custom-designed maps, and unlimited random maps.

GBM (Generalised Bitmap Module) updates (von Heiko Nitzsche)
GBM plugin 1.35 for Lucide 1.20
-------------------------------
This is a plugin for the Lucide document viewer available for eComStation
that extends Lucide for the support of reading all bitmap formats
supported by GBM.DLL.

Get package gbmos2plugins_lu135_moz136_bin.zip or the WarpIN
installation package from Hobbes (see below).

GBM plugin 1.36 for Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox/SeaMonkey
------------------------------------------------------
This is a plugin for the Webbrowsers Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox and
SeaMonkey available for OS/2 and eComStation that extends them for
the support of reading all bitmap formats supported by GBM.DLL.

Get package gbmos2plugins_lu135_moz136_bin.zip or the WarpIN
installation package from Hobbes (see below).

GBM.DLL 1.60 and GBM command line tools
---------------------------------------
The Generalised Bitmap Module (GBM) is a library capable of loading and
saving bitmap files in a variety of popular and less popular bitmap file
formats. Programs may be written to use this code, and thus be able to
access a variety of file formats without actually knowing what format
the pictures are in, or any details about file format itself.
It comes with a useful set of command line bitmap manipulation tools.

Get package gbmos2_160_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package
from Hobbes (see below).

Enhanced GBMV/GBMV2 Version 1.51
--------------------------------
GBMV2 is a fast and simple bitmap viewer and editor for the
OS/2 and eCS Presentation Manager. GBMV is a simple bitmap viewer.

Get package gbmos2pm151_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package
from Hobbes (see below).

Notes for eComStation 1.2/1.2R users:
-------------------------------------
Please read the installation instructions. eCS 1.2/1.2R ships with an
old GBM.DLL (1.12) which prevents loading of the new GBM.DLL (1.60).
Please follow the instructions to use the new GBM.DLL for all programs
as well as for eCS WPS features like bitmap previews.

What\'s new (highlights only):
-----------------------------
GBM.DLL 1.60:
* NEW: JPEG2000 Codec based on OpenJPEG 1.3+ (only for OpenWatcom builds)
* NEW: Build support for Windows with OpenWatcom
* FIX: Resolved problem with GBM_O_ and GBM_SEEK_ mode mapping for compilers
that start definitions at 0x0.
* PNG codec:
- upgrade to Libpng 1.2.31
- use high memory allocation via GBM memory handler
* JPG codec:
- use high memory allocation via GBM memory handler
- activate library defined code inlining
* TIFF codec:
- use high memory allocation via GBM memory handler
- activate library defined code inlining
- reject unsupport samplesPerPixel
(IBM TIFF seems to write buggy images for 32bpp which are marked
as graylevel image but has 4 samples per pixel)
* BMP codec:
- Add support for reading 16/32bpp BGR OS/2 1.2,1.2 bitmaps which
are written by some apps when graphics card runs at 16/32bpp.
* Many Makefile updates to support new build platforms
* API changes:
- Due to sync to official GBM sources, the old types BOOLEAN, byte, word
and dword are obsolete and should no longer be used. Replacements are
gbm_boolean, gbm_u8, gbm_u16, gbm_u32. This does not hurt binary compatibility!
There is a fallback for clients, backward compatible types can be activated
by defining OLD_GBM_TYPES. Please prefer switching to the new types.

GBMV/GBMV2 1.51
* Allow window positioning on non-byte aligned x coordinate
* Adjust worker thread priority to idle time to make the system more responsible.
* Remember open/save format and path separately across sessions

GBM File Dialog 1.51
* Added JPEG2000 format to online help
* Some reformatting of the online help to make it more consistent
* Selection of a different file type automatically changes the filename extension

GBM plugin for Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox/SeaMonkey (NPGBM.DLL version 1.36)
GBM for Lucide (LUGBM.DLL 1.35)
* JPEG2000 support (requires GBM.DLL 1.60 or higher)
* New user configurable background rendering (option progressive_render_pages)
-> Improves page switching performance, especially when using high quality
scaler. On dual-core systems the performance gain will be much higher
than on single-core systems.
-> Always progressive_render_pages/2 pages backward and forward will
be calculated in background.
* For lengthy operations now the hourglas mouse pointer is shown
* The size and color depth of the current page is shown behind the format
name in the document information dialog


For more details see the change log in the documentation.

Have fun,

ScummVM 0.12.0 (von NN)
ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the game, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

ScummVM lets you run these adventures:

* Adventure Soft\'s Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2
* Revolution\'s Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2
* Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep\'s Inherit the Earth
* Coktel Vision\'s Gobliiins and games based on LucasArts\' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system.

SCUMM is used for many games, including:

* Monkey Island
* Day of the Tentacle
* Sam and Max and more.

Compatibility with supported games is continually improving, so check back often.

Dr.Web 4.44 as shareware (von NN)
DrWeb/2 developers are using eComStation as development platform.

Doctor Web for OS/2 is a version of the popular antivirus scanner, Doctor Web, designed to run under the OS/2 operating system. Doctor Web for OS/2 is a member of the 32-bit family of antivirus scanners briefly referred to as DrWeb32. All 32-bit Doctor Web scanners has modular architecture and include the following components:

* kernel
* virus database, and
* a shell

The Kernel is an executable code that implements various algorithms for virus detection and removal. The Virus database is an separate file (or files) that contains virus signatures and precompiled description of rules for virus detection and removal.

The Shell is an implementation of the user interface that is specific for each operating environment. This architecture enables all 32-bit Doctor Web versions to use the same kernel and virus databases.

The shell of Doctor Web for OS/2 provides a simple command-line interface typical for batch processing. However, the version for OS/2 and versions with graphical interface offer absolutely similar functionality.
