The Bibo Patch Rollup Collection posted to SourceForge at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2773502&group_id=58151&atid=486699
has been updated.

New for this update are patches 43 and 44

43: Per the report from SourceForge user bollinge, Cygwin no longer has a
problem building printf.c.  A Cygwin-specific conditional in
lib/c/Makefile.sub was removed.

44: Kernel size optimization - The values for BASE1 and BASE2 have been
declared as constants; however, calculating these values dynamically enables
greater ease of flexibility in handling changes to the kernel image size.
This is change is based on SourceForge tracker 1120793, but this
implementation is different from what was proposed in that tracker and does
not add a dependency on Perl like that tracker implementation would.  This
particular update closes the last currently outstanding patch (apart from
the "(Unofficial) Bibo Release" patch) listed in SourceForge, though I still
have note of a few various and sundry updates posted elsewhere.


Thanks,
Matthew

Excellent, Matthew. Many thanks for keeping the project alive and moving
forward.

I've uploaded a little patch with the edge counting (which I needed once
upon a time when I tried to build a plotter without any rotation sensors)
re-implemented in a more sensible way. Here:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3527703&group_id=58151&atid=486699

I'm currently working on figuring out all the little quirks of the power
functions protocol (such as what happens with the toggle bit state for
commands where the toggle bit is ignored). Once I have it fully working,
I'll release a patch with power functions control based on Bob Kojima's
code but updated to match the latest PF specification.

Cheers,
//Carl
