On Simtel.Net, int he v2/beta/981027 directory, is the first beta
version of DJGPP 2.02.
What does "Beta" mean?
Beta means that this set of zip files could become the next official
release, if we don't find any bugs in it that warrant fixing. We
expect it to work, but we don't *know* that it will work, and would
feel better if it were tested more completely. We expect this version
to be complete and fully functional, at least for the functionality
that we expect to be there.
It also means that, until the official release, I'm not applying any
more features or additions to the code. The only changes from here to
the release will be bug fixes, specifically those that are significant
enough to warrant holding up a release. It also means that we need as
many people as possible to test it, to make sure that there aren't any
major bugs hidden in it. At least, no *new* bugs :-)
Please download these zips (or at least the djdev202.zip one) and try
it out on your projects and systems, and report bugs back to us. If
there are no major problems in the next, oh, few weeks or so, I'll
make it an official release!
