CIDLib Version 0.510 Release Issues

Overview

This document is just to give you a heads up about any gotchas or known shortcomings and new stuff in this current beta release (release 0.510, its first update of its fifth major beta release.)

Version 0.500 was the first port of the system from its previous OS/2 incarnation. So there are going to be some gotchas that occured in the port. I also took this opportunity to make signficant fundamental architectural improvements, what the heck since I had it up on the blocks, and that might have introduced some wierdness into previously stable code.

Overall though it seems to have survived quite nicely, validating my ideas about portability. The biggest headaches came with the introduction of a lot of new C++ capabilities into the system, such as namespaces, bool, mutable, and in differences between the previous IBM Visual Age C++ system and the new MS Visual C++ system.
