Richard's V2.04 thoughts:
> The changelog for 2.04 is quite long, so perhaps we should try a release
> soon. For an soon-ish release here's stuff that springs to mind:
>
> * Sort out issues with timing routines on Win2k (if possible).
> * Test out symlink code a lot more - build lots of packages with it, test
> interoperability with Cygwin stuff.
> * Review and incorporate Alex Aganichev's regex fixes.
>
> Here's what could go into 2.05:
>
> * Alex Aganichev's locale patches;
> * CB Falconer's nmalloc patches;
> * Large File Summit-compliance (there are some issues with our current
> support for large files).
> Oops, forgot something major: support for C99 and the new POSIX standard.
My thoughts:
One new release, 2.04 (no 2.05, too much effort to get one done)
Best Win2K/XP support we can provide
Current standards compliance (C99/Posix)
CVS code fixes/locale fixes/malloc fixes/large file fixes, etc
Symlinks
Library module restructuring to enable making libc dynamic
DXE enhancement for dynamic libc - resolution to image size issues
One of the concerns I've had (and heard from others) is the size and
speed of CVS images vs current 2.03. I think we could address this
in the plans for release. I think we should rationalize how we want
to support all the internationalization (instead of 1Mb of linked
data in each image) at the same time.
