This update includes a number of eagerly anticipated fixes and enhancements and can be downloaded, free of charge, from the Open Watcom web site at: http://www.openwatcom.org/ Open Watcom can also be purchased on CD, which includes all of the source code, as well as SciTech s installers for OS/2 and Windows. Support for the update will be handled exclusively through the Open Watcom newsgroup and Bugzilla. What's new in Open Watcom 1.1 ----------------------------- * Using the -ol option (loop optimization) sometimes resulted in generation of incorrect code. * The printf() function could access too much data when formatting strings, causing page faults. * NANs, INFs and denormals were not handled correctly by the math emulation library. * The assembler did not generate implicit segment override prefixes when accessing data in code segment. * The clock() function sometimes produced incorrect results on OS/2 if the TZ environment variable was set. * The Open Watcom editor (vi/viw) has been changed to store temporary files in directory designated by the TMP environment variable, instead of using the TMPDIR environment variable. * Many packaging problems (missing files) have been resolved.
