  1. What's new:
  2. A lot of things have changed since the previous distribution.
  3. It is not wise to mix files created by the previous version of the Kit
  4. with files belonging to this version, although that might sometimes work.
  5. The major changes are:
  6. - a new C-compiler and runtime system
  7. - a new C preprocessor
  8. - new assembler framework, allowing the generation of relocatable
  9. object code for most processors
  10. - new versions of all assemblers, using the new assembler framework
  11. - a new link-editor, linking is now a separate and fast phase for most
  12. machines
  13. - improved Pascal compiler, now also handles 4-byte wordsize
  14. - Motorola M68020 backend and assembler
  15. - Support for (some) SUN systems
  16. - improved version of LL(1) parser generator, producing faster code
  17. - a new language: Occam
  18. - better System V support, the Kit should now just compile and run
