New in release 0.5.0rc1
22
=======================
23 143 jeremybenn
 
24 346 jeremybenn
The floating point implementation is now based on John Hauser's "softfloat"
25
package, ensuring rigorous compliance with the IEEE 754-2008 standard.
26
 
27 143 jeremybenn
The library interface is extended to allow registers and memory to be written
28 346 jeremybenn
directly and processor stalled and unstalled. This is to allow direct
29
integration as a simulator in GDB.
30 143 jeremybenn
 
31 346 jeremybenn
Some of the existing library interface functions have different prototypes.
32
 
33 224 jeremybenn
The "include" feature of configuration files (which never worked, but no one
34
ever noticed) is dropped.
35
 
36
If the configuration file is not found in the local directory, it is searched
37
for in the ${HOME}/.or1ksim directory, then (for backwards compatibility) the
38
${HOME}/.or1k directory.
39
 
40 346 jeremybenn
If no simulation file is specified, then sim.cfg is not searched for as a
41
default.
42 224 jeremybenn
 
43 346 jeremybenn
New options are added -q|--quiet, -V|--verbose, -m|--memory and
44
--report-memory-errors. The semantics of --nosrv and --src otpions are changed.
45 224 jeremybenn
 
46 346 jeremybenn
There is a configuration option to collect statistics on instruction execution
47
in binary form.
48
 
49
In previous versions, Bus exceptions were unique in that they produced an
50
error message on standard output. The default is now for this exception to be
51
handled silently, unless requested by --report-memory-errors.
52
 
53
The following feature requests have been accepted.
54
* Feature  393: Integrate Or1ksim in GDB.
55
 
56 143 jeremybenn
The following bugs are fixed.
57 346 jeremybenn
* Bug 1821: Reference configuration file has defective debug section.
58
* Bug 1817: Reference configuration file missing from distribution.
59
* Bug 1795: GDB breakpoints do not work with the instruction cache.
60 143 jeremybenn
 
61 346 jeremybenn
The following bugs are either cannot be reproduced or will not be fixed.
62
 
63
The following bugs are outstanding
64
* Bug 1824: Memory controller issue (probably the same as Bug 1758).
65
* Bug 1823: Configuration file error line numbers are wrong.
66
* Bug 1822: ATA section in configuration file is broken.
67
* Bug 1816: Error message when target not set is obscure.
68
* Bug 1813: "make check" fails before installation.
