I spent half of today merging outstanding changes from the 4.2 branch
into the 4.3 branch. Probably a good thing that the commits list isn't
working. It should all be there but maybe something was overlooked
(or SVK stuffed up).
I managed to compile it on Linux, and with MinGW and MSVC++ Express on
Windows XP. I'll try to do some testing tomorrow before I zip it up.
I would be nice if some other people tested it as well before then.
I'd like to know if the Mac port is horribly broken, but it won't
be holding up the release.
I made all ports use the standard location tools/plugins/plugins.h to
simplify the makefile dependencies. It was already half changed to
tools/plugins.h but I thought tools/plugins/plugins.h was better.
Did we figure out how to reliably run scripts from the misc directory
in makefiles? When I was trying to compile with MSVC the line
misc\embedman.bat $(DLL_NAME) 2
was causing trouble because of the backslash (it was trying to run
miscembedman.bat). I had to escape the backslash, but I don't know what
would happen with other shells or makes (Windows XP cmd.exe, MSYS make).
Finally, it turns out that updating thanks._tx along with code isn't a
good idea when it comes to merging (unnecessary conflicts). The next
best thing is to write commit messages in the same style as you would in
the thanks._tx file: proper attribution (including for your own
changes), punctuation, word wrapping, proper context (don't expect the
reader to see the names of the files being changed). Thanks.
