Subject: Nasm 2.05rc1 released

Nasm 2.05rc1 is available at SourceForge.

<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6208>

Alternate (new!!!) address:

http://www.nasm.us/

I failed to get 2.04rc2 through 2.04rc6 up at SourceForge, and as a result 
of not enough testing, 2.04 turned out to *not* be a "candidate" after all. 
:(

We hope our users will help us test this "release candidate" so it doesn't 
happen again! Partial changelog follows. (this is now Appendix C in the 
Nasm Manual)

Best,
Frank

 C.1.1 Version 2.05

       (*) Fix redundant REX.W prefix on `JMP reg64'.

       (*) Make the behaviour of `-O0' match NASM 0.98 legacy behavior. See
           section 2.1.22.

       (*) `-w-user' can be used to suppress the output of `%warning'
           directives. See section 2.1.24.

       (*) Fix bug where `ALIGN' would issue a full alignment datum instead
           of zero bytes.

       (*) Fix offsets in list files.

       (*) Fix `%include' inside multi-line macros or loops.

 C.1.2 Version 2.04

       (*) Sanitize macro handing in the `%error' directive.

       (*) New `%warning' directive to issue user-controlled warnings.

       (*) `%error' directives are now deferred to the final assembly
           phase.

       (*) New `%fatal' directive to immediately terminate assembly.

       (*) New `%strcat' directive to join quoted strings together.

       (*) New `%use' macro directive to support standard macro directives.
           See section 4.6.4.

       (*) Excess default parameters to `%macro' now issues a warning by
           default. See section 4.3.

       (*) Fix `%ifn' and `%elifn'.

       (*) Fix nested `%else' clauses.

       (*) Correct the handling of nested `%rep's.

       (*) New `%unmacro' directive to undeclare a multi-line macro. See
           section 4.3.10.

       (*) Builtin macro `__PASS__' which expands to the current assembly
           pass. See section 4.11.9.

       (*) `__utf16__' and `__utf32__' operators to generate UTF-16 and
           UTF-32 strings. See section 3.4.5.

       (*) Fix bug in case-insensitive matching when compiled on platforms
           that don't use the `configure' script. Of the official release
           binaries, that only affected the OS/2 binary.

       (*) Support for x87 packed BCD constants. See section 3.4.7.

       (*) Correct the `LTR' and `SLDT' instructions in 64-bit mode.

       (*) Fix unnecessary REX.W prefix on indirect jumps in 64-bit mode.

       (*) Add AVX versions of the AES instructions (`VAES'...).

       (*) Fix the 256-bit FMA instructions.

       (*) Add 256-bit AVX stores per the latest AVX spec.

       (*) VIA XCRYPT instructions can now be written either with or
           without `REP', apparently different versions of the VIA spec
           wrote them differently.

       (*) Add missing 64-bit `MOVNTI' instruction.

       (*) Fix the operand size of `VMREAD' and `VMWRITE'.

       (*) Numerous bug fixes, especially to the AES, AVX and VTX
           instructions.

       (*) The optimizer now always runs until it converges. It also runs
           even when disabled, but doesn't optimize. This allows most
           forward references to be resolved properly.

 C.1.3 Version 2.03.01

       (*) Fix buffer overflow in the listing module.

       (*) Fix the handling of hexadecimal escape codes in `...` strings.

       (*) The Postscript/PDF documentation has been reformatted.

       (*) The `-F' option now implies `-g'.

 C.1.4 Version 2.03

       (*) Add support for Intel AVX, CLMUL and FMA instructions, including
           YMM registers.

       (*) `dy', `resy' and `yword' for 32-byte operands.

       (*) Fix some SSE5 instructions.

       (*) Intel `INVEPT', `INVVPID' and `MOVBE' instructions.

       (*) Fix checking for critical expressions when the optimizer is
           enabled.

       (*) Support the DWARF debugging format for ELF targets.

       (*) Fix optimizations of signed bytes.

       (*) Fix operation on bigendian machines.

       (*) Fix buffer overflow in the preprocessor.

       (*) `SAFESEH' support for Win32, `IMAGEREL' for Win64 (SEH).

       (*) `%?' and `%??' to refer to the name of a macro itself. In
           particular, `%idefine keyword $%?' can be used to make a keyword
           "disappear".

       (*) New options for dependency generation: `-MD', `-MF', `-MP',
           `-MT', `-MQ'.

       (*) New preprocessor directives `%pathsearch' and `%depend'; INCBIN
           reimplemented as a macro.

       (*) `%include' now resolves macros in a sane manner.

       (*) `%substr' can now be used to get other than one-character
           substrings.

       (*) New type of character/string constants, using backquotes
           (``...`'), which support C-style escape sequences.

       (*) `%defstr' and `%idefstr' to stringize macro definitions before
           creation.

       (*) Fix forward references used in `EQU' statements.
