  • Bypass gcc 2.96 optimizer bug that caused incorrect instruction execution
  • Added command-line control panel command history
  • Added ALS4 (z/990) cryptographic instructions
  • Fixed device interrupt pending on IPL that caused OS/360 to have to be IPLed twice
  • Added pthreads trace function for debugging
  • Fish threads code rewritten, closer to POSIX thread functionality while still performing better
  • Fixed incompatibility with Windows NT telnet client
  • Performance and integrity enhancements for RS instructions
It's available for download in the Windows, Unix/Linux, and Mac emulator sections.
