| ><P |
| >This release has a number of substantial changes over version |
| 1.3. The most visible change is that the version of Expect and Tcl |
| included in the release are up-to-date with the current stable net |
| releases. The biggest change is years of modifications to the |
| target configuration system, used for cross testing. While this |
| greatly improved cross testing, is has made that subsystem very |
| complicated. The goal is to have this entirely rewritten using |
| <SPAN |
| CLASS="PRODUCTNAME" |
| >iTcl</SPAN |
| > by the next release. Other changes |
| are:</P |

| >More built-in support for building target binaries |
| with the correct linker flags. Currently this only works with |
| <SPAN |
| CLASS="PRODUCTNAME" |
| >GCC</SPAN |
| > as the cross compiler, |
| preferably with a target supported by |

| release. This works as of the B20.1 release. Cygwin is a POSIX |
| system for Windows. This covers both utility programs and a library |
| that adds POSIX system calls to Windows. Among them is pseudo tty |
| support for Windows that emulates the POSIX pty standard. The |
| latest Cygwin is always available from <A |

| works well enough to run <I |
| CLASS="EMPHASIS" |
| >"make check"</I |
| > of |
| the GNU development tree on Windows after a native build. But the |
| nature of ptys on Windows is still evolving. Your mileage may |
| vary.</P |
