8.3 Patch is About to Leave the Building
QA and a few external testers have been pounding on the 8.3 patch for about a week now, and it looks like its ready to get posted. We'll be sending the patch for both Mac OS and Win32 to the webteam later today, and it will either be online today or Monday (they won't post patches on Friday, in case there are problems that can't be fixed during the weekend).
Most of the fixes are in the runtime library. I've had several testers really push the limits of expanded mode, and I think we've kill all the latent bugs there. This patch finally has the linker that was supposed to go into 8.2 which shows the expanded data section in the link maps. There are a couple of MSL fixes dealing with throwing exceptions from the C++ library, and we've updated the 68K Project pref panel, re-enabling the "Mac OS Code Resource" target type, which was being abused by some internal developers at PalmSource and their licensees to build OS extensions in the most difficult manner possible. I was just reminded that this patch also includes fixes for the application wizards to work with the new Palm OS 5 SDK.
Look for it soon at the Metrowerks download site.
By the way, thanks for your responses on the poll. They have been very helpful; the Mac OS X contingent came out especially strong in the numbers. I'm going to leave it up until next week, when I think I'll have a new question, this one about desired features in V9.
