Release 1.9.10: Mon Dec 17 16:23:01 EST 2001
* Rulebase and help sync with 2.4.17-rc1/2.5.1.
* Configure.help now covers every live symbol in these kernels.
* SuperH port update by Niibe Yutaka.
* Ooops...edit hex values in hex!
* Rob Landley's UI changes in menuconfig.
* Backed out Richard Todd's fix for dependent binding. We found
a case that broke it; Todd acknowledged the problem.
* Compiler can now handle "suppress depend" on an "impure" guard,
that is one that contains disjunctions and other logical operations.
* User is now warned when setting an invisible symbol that might
not be saved out.
Richard Todd has found some theoretical problems with forcing of
ancestor symbols by a dependent. These show up only when a change in
multiple dependents of a symbol is made and one of the changes is later
nacked out. We're not aware of any cases in which these break the
behavior of the kernel ruleset, but this qualifies as a genuine bug
which I will fix.
