VMIPS 1.1.2 has been released. VMIPS is a MIPS R3000 virtual machine simulator with support for a serial console and GNU cross-compiler tools. This is a bug-fix release. You can download VMIPS 1.1.2 from any of the following sites: * ftp://download.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/vmips/ * ftp://ftp.dgate.org/vmips/releases/vmips-1.1.2/ * http://download.sourceforge.net/vmips/ * http://www.dgate.org/vmips/releases/vmips-1.1.2/ * http://vmips.sourceforge.net/releases/vmips-1.1.2/ VMIPS is free software available under the GNU General Public License; for details, please read the file "COPYING". For installation instructions, please read "INSTALL". VMIPS was built by Brian Gaeke and others; for details, please see the files "AUTHORS" and "THANKS". New features since the last publically released version are detailed in "NEWS". The home page for VMIPS is "http://www.dgate.org/vmips". For bug reporting instructions, please see the VMIPS Manual. User-visible changes in version 1.1.2 (since version 1.1.1): * An instruction that turns on interrupts in the system control coprocessor (coprocessor 0) will no longer immediately take an exception if an interrupt is pending; now it will happen at least one instruction later. * When building VMIPS in debug mode, the coprocessor 0 Cause register may no longer contain random, non-clearable interrupt-pending bits. * The coprocessor 0 Cause register's interrupt-pending and coprocessor-error bits are now correctly updated when an exception is taken. * The VMIPS physical-memory manager will now allow you to place two devices directly adjacent to one another in memory; it used to complain that they overlapped, when they actually did not. * A typo was fixed in the testsuite documentation. To get the code from CVS as any bug fixes are added, checkout from branch "vmips-1_1-branch". VMIPS 1.1.2 itself can be checked out using the tag "release-1-1-2". Please refer to the bug reporting instructions in the VMIPS manual if you have trouble using the software. -Brian Gaeke and the VMIPS developers
