[cc65] Announcement: cc65 2.10.1 released

I'm proud to announce cc65 version 2.10.1. cc65 is a complete cross
development package for 65(C)02 systems, including a powerful macro assembler,
a C compiler, linker, librarian and several other tools.

cc65 has C and runtime library support for many of the old 6502 machines,
including

  - The Commodore VIC20 (contributed by Steve Schmidtke
    <steve_schmidtke@hotmail.com>).

  - The Commodore C64 and C128.

  - The Commodore C16, C116 and Plus/4.

  - The CBM 510 (aka P500), a quite rare Commodore machine (programs
    run in bank 0).

  - The CBM 600/700 family (programs run in bank 1).

  - Newer PET machines (not 2001)

  - The Apple ][ (library support by Kevin Ruland <kevin@rodin.wustl.edu>)

  - The Atari 8 bit machines (thanks to the Atari team: Christian Groessler
    <cpg@aladdin.de>, Mark Keates <markk@dendrite.co.uk>, Freddy Offenga
    <taf_offenga@yahoo.com> and David Lloyd, <dmlloyd@atari-central.com>).

  - GEOS for the C64 and C128 (by Maciej Witkowiak <ytm@elysium.pl>)

  - The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) (contributed by Groepaz,
    <groepaz@gmx.net>.

  - The Supervision console (contributed by Peter Trauner,
    <peter.trauner@utanet.at>) (startup code and linker config only).

  - The Oric Atmos (this one is - still - BETA!).

The libraries are fairly portable, so creating a version for other 6502s
shouldn't be too much work.


Changes to the last version:

This is a minor release that fixes known problems in version 2.10.0 (see

        http://www.cc65.org/bugs.php

for a list). It does not contain new features.


Available packages:

As usual I will provide the complete sources and several binary packages,
including RPMs for RedHat Linux 9. Linux is the primary development
platform, so the sources do compile out of the box on Linux machines.

Please note that there are separate RPMs for the compiler proper and the
target specific libraries. To develop for one of the predefined target
systems you need the compiler RPM package *and* one of the target machine
packages.

Starting with this version, the docs are also in a separate package, so
if you want docs (recommended), be sure to download the cc65-doc archive.

Binaries for DOS and and Windows should also be available at the time you read
this. OS/2 packages will again be available, but since there are almost no
downloads for OS/2, so the host platform may get dropped in the near future
(again). As with the RPM packages, you need the package for the development
system (Windows, etc.) *and* one or more of the target machine packages, plus
optionally the doc package.

Thanks to all who sent feedback and suggestions, and of course to anyone who
helped developing cc65.

I wish you a merry christmas and lots of fun with this new cc65 release!
