This announces the release of Linux/68k-2.0.21. This release is compatible with the native 2.0.21 kernel. Originally I did not expect this release to contain more than a few bugfixes and the update to 2.0.21, but sometimes things do not turn out quite as you expect ;) The most important are probably that the kernel should now work on 68020 CPUs and the, hopefully, final ramdisk patch from Guenther Kelleter, which should solve problems for ramdisks having length which is not divideable by 4096 (this is often the case for compressed ramdisks). Another nice feature of 2.0.21 is Linus' new mkdep program written in C. This results in a 5 times speed up of `make dep' on my computer, so you might wanna run it a couple of times just to feel the rush ;) Here is a list of the most important changes: Roman Hodek: o signal stacks for tosemu. Roman Zippel: o support for 68020 CPU + 68851 MMU works again. Guenther Kelleter: o fixed ramdisks of length not divideable by 4096. o atari/bootstrap.c: align load address of ramdisk image so read() can read faster with odd sized kernels o arch/m68k/kernel/ksyms.c,arch/m68k/mm/init.c: remove rests of static rd o drivers/block/genhd.c: don't show `AHDI' for all logical drives, instead show ICD extended partitions and XGM chains; fixed SYS_IND o include/asm/setup.h: FPU_MASK is still missing Andreas Schwab: o clustering support for little endian ext2fs, which we are moving towards. o optimized context switching. It is not necessary to flush ATC and virtual caches when switching to the same address space. o fix for `file.x.y' filenames on the msdos filesystem. o Semaphore implementation for 2.0.19+. Geert Uytterhoeven: o Amiboot updated to version 4.0 and a new readme file for amiboot (Documentation/m68k/amiboot.README). Joerg Dorchain: o lp_mfc.c, support for the parallel port on the Multiface III card. o lp drivers can be compiled as modules. o fix amiflop.c to accept broken floppy-drives present in new AT Amiga 1200. Chris Lawrence: o updates to Configure.help o CyberVision support should work now (resent original patch from Martin Apel). o enabled /proc interface for wd33c93 based SCSI controllers (A2091, A3000 and GVP). Hans-Joachim Widmaier: o AFFS filesystem updated, should be significantly faster now. Myself: o loadable font support. Currently it is only possible to update the font for one vc at a time. o minor fixes to the console/amifb code. o various cleanups. o updated Roman Hodek's documentation for m68k specific kernel-options to 2.0.x (Documentation/m68k/kernel-options.txt). The new kernel as well as a set of pre-compiled kernels, one for the Atari and one for the Amiga (vmlinux-2.0.21-Atari.tar.gz and vmlinux-2.0.21-Amiga.tar.gz respectively) are available at SunSITE.auc.dk, under /pub/os/linux/680x0/v2.0. These files will hopefully be available at the mirrors in a day or two. 09/26/96 Jes Sorensen (jds@kom.auc.dk).
