I am pleased to announce version 1.2 of the GNU distribution of the Mach kernel. It may be found in the file (about 3.64 MB compressed) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnumach/gnumach-1.2.tar.gz. Because of extensive source reorganization, it is not profitable to provide diffs against previous versions. Most notably, this release updates the Linux-derived device drivers to those found in Linux version 2.0.36. This distribution is only for i386, i486, i586 (pentium), and i686 (sexium [pentium pro]) processors on PC-AT compatible machines. Volunteers interested in ports to other architectures are eagerly sought. MiG (the Mach Interface Generator) is no longer in this distribution; it is now distributed separately. You will need MiG in order to be able to compile this release. Bug reports relating to this distribution should be sent to bug-hurd@gnu.org. Requests for assistance should be made on help-hurd@gnu.org. The md5sum checksums for this distibution is 85e898a1753270e63a1cc69028043c68 gnumach-1.2.tar.gz
