27-Jan-96
- Release of Milo 0.26 and a kernel patch to use it. This release passes
parameters in a completly different way to the kernel that makes porting
Linux/MIPS to another architecture a lot easier.
24-Jan-96
- Release of crosscoompiler binaries based on the FSF's Binutils version
2.6. This release brings lots of new features and many bugfixes.
21-Jan-96
- Warner Losh started working on a port of Linux/MIPS to Deskstation rPC44.
20-Jan-96
- Linux/MIPS kernel updated to version 1.3.58.
- Patch gcc-2.7.2-1.diffs.gz has been released.
- Patch binutils-2.6-1.diffs.gz has been released. This patch contains
lots of bugfixes. The Linux kernel Makefiles will automatically detect
whether Binutils 2.6 or an older version is installed and use the new
features resulting in a much smaller kernel executable which is especially useful for bootdisks.
15-Jan-96
- Release of a complete root and /usr filesystem that can be NFS mounted
to use a Linux/MIPS system as a diskless client. A native development
kit based on GCC 2.7.2, Binutils 2.6 and GNU libc snapshot 951218 is
included as well as many of the standard utilities.
25-Dec-95
- Linux/MIPS boots of a NFS filesystem as a diskless client. This also
means that the rest of Linux/MIPS networking is operational now.
7-Jan-95
- Soft-N-Hard GMBH and SNI sign a contract. SNI will loan a RM200
to Soft-N-Hard for porting Linux/MIPS to it.
22-Sep-95
- The Linux/MIPS FTP archive and mailing list have been moved
to FNET.FR.
(There are many others news I currently have no time to document)
18-Jul-95
- New crossdevelopment tools released. GCC-2.6.3-2 and Binutils-2.5.2-2
for Linux/i386 need kernels with ELF support and libc-5.0.9 installed.
The new crossdev tools are required for Linux/MIPS kernels above 1.2.9.
A.out versions of the crossdev tools will follow soon.
