Hi all!

I created the branch for the next release! It's called 
release-0.15.0.
After some more checks I'll soon announce the alpha release.

Regards,
Kai

We should definitely merge the remaining 2.066.1 patches before 
the final release though. It's tagged upstream now, with the 
website update/announcements under way. Releasing a beta [1] at 
the same time the upstream release is out would be awesome.

[1] I don't know of any problematic areas that would necessitate 
an alpha right now, but that's probably a matter of taste.

I created the alpha tag today. But as usual, MinGW is a bit 
problematic. (Is the runtime Windos or POSIX? Each module decides 
own his own...)

Hi Suliman,

there is only slow progress with ARM. I only borrowed the GDC 
implementation of IeeeFlags() and FloatingPointControl().

Most progress is with PowerPC: PPC64 Little Endian is new and 
quite usable. PPC32 now cleanly compiles and is able to run small 
applications.

And currently there is activity on the Win64 version with the 
MSVC runtime...

Regards,
Kai

Is there any reasons of forsing PPC?

Personal fun. I have cloud-based access to POWER8 servers. These 
machines are much faster than my Krait-based ARM board. (POWER 
cpus are used in super computers like the IBM Blue Gene. A Krait 
cpu is used in smartphones.)

Besides the fun factor a typical PowerPC system is big-endian, 
which is useful to validate the endian-neutral coding.

Kai
