premake

SourceForge is now accepting nominations for their Community Choice Awards, and I'm fishing for nominations in the Best Utility for Developers category. It's as easy as clicking here.

No really, this is the last one. I mean this time. Kudos to Ryan for adding some initial support for Visual Studio 2008!

* Patch 1946122: Add support for VS2008 (Ryan Pusztai)
* Patch 1913448: Win32 crash when using '--clean --usetargetpath' (David Walters)
* Patch 1771168: luaL_getn speed optimization (Richard O'Grady)
* Bug 1939089: Premake segfault on Linux/PPC (Fabio Till)
* Fixed "bad argument #2 to 'chdir'" error
* Disable -MMD on multiple -arch flags (poor man's Universal binary support)

It just gets shinier and shinier. Enjoy!

Okay, maybe just one more, for good measure. Premake 3.5 is now available, sporting these shiny new changes:

• Patch 1771168: luaL_getn speed optimization (Richard O’Grady)
• Bug 1804810: out-implib not present in linux gnu compler toolchain

Enjoy!

Due to a persistent spammer, I am turning off comments on this site. The new site has a proper spam filter installed, so comments are still available over there.
