What's new in release 3.03.1
Release date: 30 December 2005
Fix translation exception bug that was causing some Linux kernels to
panic (Fabrizio Calabretta, Greg Smith, Ivan Warren)
TOD Clock-Steering Facility (Jan Jaeger, Bernard van der Helm)
Fix bug in shadow file filename processing on native Windows (David
"Fish" Trout)
Performance improvements in TM instruction family (Bernard van der
Helm)
Support for Linux zipl LOADPARM of PROMPT (Jan Jaeger)
This is a maintenance release. If you're not affected by the bugs in the
What's New, then there's no need to upgrade (although it shouldn't be an
issue if you do).
There is one known bug that affects the semigraphical control panel in this
release (and that was present in 3.03, as well). Attempting to reassign or
reopen a file assigned to an emulated I/O device will instead always modify
the first device in the list. This bug has been corrected in current CVS,
and the fix will be contained in the next release. The workaround in 3.03
and 3.03.1 is to hit escape and use the command-line devinit command to
modify the device.
Hercules 3.03 has been downloaded over 3400 times in the 10 days since its
release. There are now right at 5000 members of the main hercules-390
mailing list. To all of its users, and all of the folks who have contributed
ideas, code, and testing to help make Hercules what it is today - the most
widely used mainframe emulator in the world - I'd like to extend my thanks,
and my hope that Hercules will continue to serve your needs in 2006 and
beyond.
