New version of the exec.library (Amiga Classic)

[nicholas]

New version of the exec.library v45.24 : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=57950


The exec.library was written in asm since the beginning. So, it's hard to get
a real speedup. Anyway, many bytes can be saved using some 68k tricks.
All the code are always reworked to use all the features of the 68060 with a
full 68000 compatibility. The new 020+ opcodes are used very rarely, so
special _020, _030, _040 and/or _060 functions are created when needed.

This library is now a true jewel of coding. Enjoy !

I'll wait for Piru's opinion first.

Commodore Amiga can host your fully patched Kickstart ROM on our Iranian servers if you want?

I don't use a command to load the modules mate.
I made a custom kickstart 3.9 ROM that includes all the patches from BB3+BB4 (Cosmos exec included along with graphics.library from PeterK).
Then... I only have to kick the new ROM and voila.

Try LoadResident as Cosmos said, I remember it worked just fine pre custom kickstarts on mine.

Is it relatively straight-forward to create a custom rom image?

I've got a Deneb to put in my A4000 so I want to make an up to date rom with Cosmos and Peter's new libs too.

I wrote an how-to guide some time ago about how to create on your own a Custom 1MB Kickstart 3.9 ROM image:

For Deneb is even easier since you only need to load the Modules into Flash ROM and you're set

Thanks, bookmarked for the weekend!

The upcoming v45.25 is already working with the Deneb (and on the Algor too, I hope) !

A cool surprise with this new version... mfilos will loooooove it...

Do you have an ETA for v45.25?
