GNU MDK 1.2

GNU MDK 1.2 has been released. It is available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mdk/ and
mirrors of that site (see list of mirror sites at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html).

GNU MDK provides a simulator of D. Knuth’s MIX computer, and a
development environment to write, run and debug MIXAL programs on
it.

New in this release:

• Graphical user interface (gmixvm) updated to gtk+ 2.4.x
  • gmixvm now uses the latest version of the gtk+ toolkit,
    including antialiased Pango fonts.
  • Individually detachable windows for the virtual machine, the
    source window and the devices notebook (there is no ‘split mode’
    anymore).
  • Detachable toolbars.
  • Current source line and breakpoints are now marked via
    icons.
  • New menu option to change all fonts at once.
• German i18n available (thanks to Mike Scholz). Set LANG to

  de_DE.UTF-8 to use it.

• mixasm includes debug info in compiled mix files by default:
  the options -g and –debug are gone; if you want to compile without
  debug info, use -O or –ndebug.

Bug reports should go to bug-gnu-mdk@gnu.org.

Enjoy!
