Hi Tom,

I believe this is the format you requested?
No! This is a .tar.gz. Proper diffs don't come as a .tar.gz.
Oops... did I remove one of your entries in the ChangeLog? :)
If you want a patch to be committed, eventually you're going to have
to say why.  What's the goal of the patch?
When you look at the code in question more closely, you will see that it
will present the content of the status word in more detail than the
original function,
Which isn't necessarily a good thing.

I'll show you the difference in output after the 'info float' command.


original output:

Status Word:         0x0000
                       TOP: 0

new and improved output:

status word              : 0x0000
  exception flags        :
  stack fault            : 0
  error summary status   : 0
  busy                   : 0
  top of stack pointer   : 0
  condition code         :

This will give you a much better overview of what is actually happing in the numeric core, which is eventually what every programmer wants is what I was always taught.

Also, why on earth are you messing about with old changelog entries?

The old function can thus be seen as obsolete, and should be removed
from the old log entries.
Seems you totally fail to understand what ChangeLogs are for.

Would you rather have obsolete function names flying all over the place then? I don't understand, eventually this will get you into trouble.


Regards,
Michael
