Updated elf.library for OS4.1 FE available through AmiUpdate
« on: January 21, 2024, 03:55:17 PM »
Hyperion Entertainment has released a new version of elf.library. Get it through AmiUpdate.

There's a comprehensive list of fixes in the releasenotes inside the downloaded package (which is installed in SYS:Documentation/ReleaseNotes/ by the AutoInstall).

Best regards,

Niels

I'm no expert, but it has to do with loading programs. Natively compiled programs in OS4.x have the ELF format, and those are handled by this library.

I believe many of the changes made for this version were identified in connection with the work on the latest SDK and compiler versions, which to a great extent went on in public over at Amigans.net.

Elf.library is a very central component in OS4, and you should update it because it's likely to be required for future programs, if they are created with a recent version of the SDK and compiler - at least as I understood it.


Best regards,
