Os 3.1.4 - List of bug fixes and changes by component

[H_Celine]

I didn't  update this thread for a while due to lack of time, and maybe I forgot one thing and another. So here is another tiny change that will make live hopefully easier: The icon.library.

This is a version derived from the 3.9 version, but with two small changes. For 3.9, the icon.library allowed to configure the "maximum file name size" so it knew where to cut off names in case a ".info" for the icon has to be attached. This feature is gone.

Will the .h and .i files form NDK3.9 work against 3.14 icon library? If not, is the 3.1.4 updated files available somewhere?
So far I'm using NDK3.1 + Handler3.1.4Doc.lha + "exec/execbase(.h|.i)" from NDK3.9. Is this correct, given what is available?

One more question: How does newicon.library fit into this, or does it not? (I never used newicons, so I do not know how it used to work, but the codebase in question needs it.)

[H_Celine]

Reason I am asking is it was not 3rd party in 3.9, and the codebase in question was originally compiled against that version. And it seems version included with 3.9 does not like 3.1.4(not conclusive, still testing).

Edit: Also; the 3.1.4 Prefs/Workbench has a toggle for NewIcons.

This would surprise me. 3.9 certainly did not include something called "newicon.library". Its icon.library supports "newicons", and so does the 3.1.4.1 version as it is a later version of the 3.9 icon.library.

I admit I have not dug out my original CD, but this is what the iso says:

I believe the 3.9 newicon.library was a stub/emulation for programs that used newicon.library directly.  You don't need it unless you have such an old program.

That explains it, thank you.
