Updated release notes: GCC 3.3.3 20031106, lukemftp 20031111. Deleted release note: PCI interrupt routing on i386 UP (presumed to be subsumed or replaced by above i386 interrupt/SMP changes). --- .../doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/article.sgml | 34 +++++++++++++------ .../en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/common/new.sgml | 34 +++++++++++++------ 2 files changed, 48 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/article.sgml b/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/article.sgml index b75942c0c098..3ca21e66acec 100644 --- a/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/article.sgml +++ b/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/article.sgml @@ -243,9 +243,14 @@ Platform-Specific Hardware Support - PCI interrupts are always routed on i386 UP - machines, which may improve the usability of some PCI devices - (particularly on laptops). + Large changes have been made to the i386 + machine-dependent code to improve interrupt routing and + handling, as well as SMP support.
