Basically, this alpha version is snapshot release.
Main changes:
Added (first step of) support for new installation path layout. Maybe useful for package managers. Please note
that new layout is disabled by default. You need to
specify configure parameter --disable-traditional-layout
(and proper parameter described in INSTALL.en) if you
try this. Currently, programs locations are affected.
Avoid linkage to needless libraries (libnsl,
libutil). Also we changed to link needed library on
generating lib*wnn, so third party client does not need
to think about extra libraries for libwnn.
uum can build and run against modern environment
(ex. systems using UNIX98 compatible pseudo
terminal). configure also detects proper terminal
library (ex. termcap / terminfo / curses). Some systems
don't need setuid bit for uum, but running uum for other
systems (that needs uum to install with setuid root) is
not recommended (experimetal use only).
Support building uum in cWnn / kWnn (but experimental).
Update bundled libtool version to 1.5.26 .
Fixed build / crash bug on non-32bit OS (especially
64bit OS). Added function prototype to jslib.h / jllib.h .
Fixed --with-*wnn-includes configure parameter to work correctly. (Ticket #24188, 81)
Some fixes from packages on various OS / distributions
merged.
