These are made from the Dec 16 build. I added a short blurb in README.1ST but we'll have to come up with a list of changes for the actual release.
Dom do you want to host these on z88dk.org?

Thanks dom. I put out a few announcements. I'm not sure how to put up a news blurb on the z88dk index page. It might be the rss feed that is reflected there?Thanks Alvin, I've mirrored them over to

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only a few minor changes were found for the release candidate but we need a short blurb listing changes from 1.10.
I've started with this:
z88dk 1.99A
Major changes incorporated into z88dk. This is a transition release in anticipation of v2.0
Two C compilers are supported (sccz80 - z88dk's native C compiler - and sdcc).
Two different C libraries are present (classic - the same library as pre 1.99A - and new).
Accordingly, there are now three different compile modes:
1. Compile with sccz80 and the classic C library. This is equivalent to pre-1.99A.
2. Compile with sccz80 and the new C library. Compile lines include "-clib=new".
3. Compile with sdcc and the new C library. Compile lines include "-clib=sdcc_ix" or "-clib=sdcc_iy".
[z80asm] Sections have been introduced for generating memory maps and compiling to bankswitched memory.
[z80asm] Modern mathematical and logical operators have been adopted.
[z80asm] New scoping keywords PUBLIC, EXTERN and GLOBAL introduced.
[z80asm] Relocate files are generated for output binaries for patching assembled code to a new address at load time.
[sccz80] Numerous bugfixes.
[sdcc] SDCC is now fully supported as alternate C compiler for the new C library.
[sdcc] SDCC's generated is improved by a large set of aggressive peephole rules (use -SO3 to enable).
[sdcc] SDCC's calls to its primitive functions are modified to use callee linkage.
[classic c lib]
[new c lib] New C library written from scratch in assembly language aiming for subset of C11 compliance. More than 700 functions currently.
[new c lib] Stdio made object-oriented so that drivers can inherit library code to implement features with minimal amount of code.
[new c lib] Stdio base classes currently include serial character i/o and terminal i/o implementing windows and proportional fonts.
[new c lib] Unique stdio implementation allows removal of high level buffers without affecting performance.
[new c lib] Many functions from GNU and POSIX are present beyond the C11 standard.
[new c lib] Many unique libraries including some C++ STL containers, data compression, obstacks, game libraries, sound, etc. The new C lib
contains libraries not present in the classic C lib and vice versa.
[new c lib] Three targets initially supported: embedded (generic z80), cpm, zx (zx spectrum).
[new c lib] The library and crts are highly configurable at library build time and at compile time. Options allow easy generation
of binaries for ROM or RAM targets.
Documentation is a work in progress.

[appmake] +rom added to manipulate raw binaries; options include code injection, extraction and conversion to intel hex format.
The new C library completes C standards compliance for sdcc and allows sdcc produced binaries to be smaller and faster.
