In case you missed the news about the new AmigaOS 4 SDK 54.16 release, I post it here, because for some reason the news item I posted on the release day, is not yet approved by website administrators.
- the inclusion of different versions of the GCC compiler starting from the old 6.4.0, to 8.4.0, 10.3.0 and 11.2.0 which can be selected during installation including the option to install multiple versions; - the addition of a tool added to set the default gcc version; - SPE optimized binaries can be generated by using GCC 6.4 for maximum performance on systems equipped with an SPE; - vbcc compiler is once more included in the SDK, configured to work “out of the box”; - Simplegit and Subversion are now included; - Profyler 1.1 added and Hieronymus updated to 0.50 version; - Updated the include headers and the autodoc documentation; - Added extended documentation for all the GCC versions included; - AmiSSL 5.3 SDK is included; - Latest AutoDocViewer 1.4 is included; - newlib and clib updated to the latest versions; - ExecSG SDK updated to the latest version; - Many code examples were updated to reflect the newest changes, removing obsolete API calls; - Updated the "AmigaOS 4.1 SDK.pdf" with new sections and format; - Many more tools were updated to their respective latest versions.
Hyperion Entertainment wishes to extend its special thanks and appreciation to George Sokianos as well as the AmigaOS 4.x development team for making this happen!
So far installation went well, I have not noticed anything wrong yet. the new GCC compiler is producing lot of warning about casting etc, maybe a bit annoying.
@NutsAboutAmiga Compilers are improved at each new version but not only in term of performance of produced code. They also become stricter on issue detection (warnings). So that may appear to be annoying but consider it is a chance to make your software better.
