I've just picked up 2.1 and I notice appmake has been renamed to z88dk-appmake. It broke my build.
Did I miss an announcement on this? Were any other tools renamed?
appmake renamed
Re: appmake renamed
To avoid clashes with other packages, many years ago an option was added to prefix the internal tools with "z88dk-".
As part of the snap work and containerising things more, that was formalised so that all internal tools were always created with the z88dk-. Thinking about what people were doing the following tools were only available without the prefix:
- zcc
- sccz80
- zsdcc
The following tool was made available with and without:
- z80asm
I thought a fair bit about making appmake be invokable either way, but opted against it in the end because I felt it unlikely that it would be invoked as a tool outside of z88dk. I got it wrong. Sorry.

Re: appmake renamed
No problem at all. A tweak to my makefile fixed it.
I posted because I thought it was worth noting in a searchable forum that the command line interface has changed.
