User-visible changes in version 1.1.1 (since version 1.1): * A bug involving shifts by 0 or 32 bits (e.g., using instructions like srlv) producing incorrect results has been fixed. * The absence of an FPU attached to coprocessor slot 1 can now be detected by user programs. * The system control coprocessor (coprocessor 0) now returns the correct ID number for the R3000A processor in the PRId register. * Emulation of store-byte and store-halfword operations for emulated devices that only support store-word should now work correctly on byte-swapped configurations. * A bug in vmipstool which caused it to fail to find alternate linker scripts (supplied with the --ld-script option) has been fixed. * A gcc warning caused by a (harmless) comment in asm_regnames.h has been quashed. * A bug where little-endian vmips configurations would dump core when the disassembler was used (e.g., when the instdump option was turned on) has been fixed. * `configure' no longer ignores its --with-mips-include option. To get the code from CVS as any bug fixes are added, checkout from branch "vmips-1_1-branch". VMIPS 1.1.1 itself can be checked out using the tag "release-1-1-1".
