I've made a branch called newlib that has some large amount of changes

remove the old functions) global variables and more opaque structures.
I've not moved them into the master branch as I want to see what others
think first. The API is definitely much cleaner with a lot less of
"mana from heaven" kind of side effects (what function needs to be
called to update what variables?)
Hi Craig,
I’ve found a way (for me) to work with newlib so the pain is quickly subsiding.
If you wanted to correct that branch, the following steps do the job:
git reset --hard 2594666
git rebase origin/master
git rebase -i HEAD~3
[ remove the 'NLS - update po files' commit ]
Then, if you wanted to correct it for the rest of us, you could:
push origin +newlib --force
I think it’s ok to violate the normal rules and force a change to git history
with this brand new branch. Any users impacted can employ this easy fix in
their local clones:
git reset --hard HEAD~20
git pull
Over the weekend I’ll be readying some comments (and maybe some patches) for
the new API.
Regards,
Jim
