Release Notes

First release from the BrickBot/nqc repository on GitHub

• Patches that were posted by Matthew Sheets to the original SourceForge project site following the release of nqc 3.1r6 but never incorporated (primarily enhancing capabilities on Linux):
  • Added TCP support, facilitating use of NQC with programs such as BrickEmu (an RCX emulator)
  • Added additional capabilities for specifying the default USB port, including at both compile time using a Make variable and via enhanced command-line argument support
  • Support Makefile variables DESTDIR and TOOLPREFIX
  • Enable specifying the default IR tower name in a configuration file
  • Support using a Make variable to specify the default compile-time port name, instead of having to modify source code files
• Updates made to the jverne/nqc fork, which was maintained to keep NQC building and running on OS X and BSD
• Add support for building as a WebAssembly (based on work initiated by maehw, which was itself forked from this BrickBot/nqc project)
• Address compiler warnings
• Add support for linker hardening via LDFLAGS
• Ensure Swan code does not segfault
• Fix error text format assuming %d usage for intptr_t
• Cleanup and typo fixes
• Replace or remove dead links in manual page
• Update release versioning to generally align with semantic versioning practices
• Update Makefile
  • Created or enhanced troubleshooting targets (e.g. info, list-variables, submake-list)
  • Added targets for Stow support
  • Adopted more common install variables, such as prefix, exec_prefix, bindir, datarootdir, mandir, man1dir, etc.
  • Updated the default path for manuals to move under the "share" directory
