nwcc 0.7.5 is out!

This release fixes lots of SPARC-specific bugs, and a few platform-independent ones as well. In addition, initial (and incomplete) support for TLS (thread-local storage) and PIC (position-independent code) has been added on x86, AMD64, and SPARC.

Because there was so much work to do for SPARC alone, MIPS and PPC have received almost no attention at all; Again, they will in the near future.

nwcc 0.7.4 is out!

This release adds tons of bugfixes, as well as initial support for various C99 and GNU C features. It has an emphasis on the x86 and AMD64 backends, which is why various fatal SPARC/MIPS/PPC bugs still haven't been fixed; That will be done for the next release.

The website has been re-organized slightly. There are now some new pages on nwcc/gcc compatibility, which have been drafted quickly and still need some additions and polishing.

Work on nwcc 0.7.4 has been well underway for a couple of months. I have realized that there is no point in making new releases before code correctness has been improved fundamentally, so it may take a few more weeks or months before I'm ready.

Currently it is recommended to use up-to-date snapshots (these are regularly updated; sometimes weekly, sometimes daily) instead of version 0.7.3.
