build number: 60602, 2015-01-25
architecture: PowerPC
affected commands: frame.config.eabi [on|off]
description: New option forces the stack unwinding algorithm to follow the frame-pointer/link-register pairs.
build number: 61220, 2015-03-06
architecture: All
affected commands: MMU.COMMON, TRANS.COMMON
description: Old way of specifiying multiple COMMON address ranges with OR operation has been removed (TRANS.COMMON 0x80000000--0x8FFFFFFF||0xA0000000--0xBFFFFFFF).
Please use spaces instead of logical OR (||) to separate multiple address ranges in one command line (TRANS.COMMON 0x80000000--0x8FFFFFFF 0xA0000000--0xBFFFFFFF) or use TRANS.COMMON.ADD to specify additional address ranges
(TRANS.COMMON 0x80000000--0x8FFFFFFF TRANS.COMMON.ADD 0xA0000000--0xBFFFFFFF). This change was necessary to prevent hard to find errors when users specify incorrect address ranges in the old implementation.
