• Added and updated prototypes/types for over 13 PS4-specific headers (thanks 0x199, sleirsgoevy, Nikita Krapivin, OSM, al-azif, bucanero)!
• Updated build system/scripts for samples and VS project templates to a more clean and convenient system.

• Fixed an issue where C++ cmath headers failed to use certain namespaces (thanks Nikita Krapivin).
• Fixed various miscalculation bugs in create-fself.

• Fixed a minor issue where the __bswap32 macro in the endian include header produced compiler warnings (thanks astrelsky).

• The toolchain now includes stub/empty libc and libSceFios2 modules to avoid breaking non-homebrew games and applications!
  • Note: This change works in conjunction with Mira, meaning you'll want to update the version of Mira you're loading as well.
  • Additional note: these modules can be found in /bin/data/modules/libc.prx and /bin/data/modules/libSceFios2.prx, and should be placed in sce_module/ in your homebrew's package file.
• SDL2 headers as well as a mini game sample have now been added (thanks znullptr for the original SDL port)!
• C++ threading (std::thread) support has been added!
• C++ locking / synchronization support has been added!

• Visual studio project templates now support and link with C++ by default.
• Added various macros and function definitions to libkernel, libScePad, libSceUserService, and libSceVideoOut, as well as documentation for these additions.
• Added right.prx by IDC to all samples (thanks IDC for right.prx).
• Slightly adjusted sample pkg gp4 files to use the same eboot.bin created by build scripts instead of unnecessarily using a copy.
• Fixed jagged text rendering in /samples/_common/graphics.cpp due to not factoring in the freetype greyscale bitmap alpha properly.
• Buffering is now disabled on stdout automatically due to it not handling buffering well.
• Updated pthread header to use PS4/BSD-specific values.
• Samples now have DWARF / debug symbols included by default (thanks sleirsgoevy).
• Reworked the threading sample to use std::thread and std::mutex now that C++ threading is supported.
• Reworked the networking sample to a TCP server instead of a TCP client.
• Fixed an issue where a really silly FreeBSD change broke any networking functions that need to use the sockaddr struct such as bind.
• Fixed an issue where GP4 project files were using non-portable windows-style path separators (thanks sleirsgoevy).
• Fixed an issue where the non-sce sleep() function didn't work due to a MUSL-related issues (thanks LM, ChendoChap).
• Fixed an issue where SPRX visual studio projects contained a typo in an include statement and an incorrect set of libraries for the build script.
• Fixed the cmath c++ header, which included using statements for functions that are macros on FreeBSD targets (thanks kiwidog).
• Fixed an issue where the sockaddr_in structure was incorrect due to a discrepancy between Linux and FreeBSD (thanks kiwidog).
• Fixed an issue where AF_INET6 was erroneously set to 10 due to a discrepancy between Linux and FreeBSD (thanks sleirsgoevy).

• Added C++ support via include/c++/v1 headers and statically built libcxx.
• Added support for C++ init_array/fini_array dynamic tags in create-eboot / create-lib.
• Remade a new fancy windows installer.
• Created a script to streamline the release creation process.
• Added initial PS4 library documentation into /docs for libkernel, pad, sysmodule, userservice, and videoout.
• Common functionality between samples (graphics and logging as well as PNG decoding) have been moved into /samples/_common.
• Font sample has been rewritten to use C++.
• Hello world sample has been rewritten to use C++.
• Input sample has been rewritten to use C++ and now has a visual component to make the sample more obvious in what it does.
• PNG decoding sample has been rewritten to use C++.
• System sample has been rewritten to use C++ and now prints to the screen instead of stdout to better demonstrate what it does.
• Threading sample has been rewritten to use C++ and similar to system sample, now prints to the screen.
• Fixed an issue where the create-eboot/lib and readelf build scripts were not building for macOS.
• Fixed a minor typo in readelf which caused DT_INIT_ARRAY_SZ and DT_FINI_ARRAY_SZ tags to be incorrectly identified as DT_INIT_ARRAY and DT_FINI_ARRAY tags.
• Updated various sample readmes to account for reworked samples.
• Removed old installer NSIS script.

Known Issues

• iostream's std::cout does not function properly and will cease to work after one write. For writing to stdout, use the DEBUGLOG macro in samples/_uncommon/log.h. We hope to address this in the future.

• Added MUSL libc support, removed old BSD headers, and reworked samples to use MUSL.
• Added libraries sources for Continuous Integration (CI).
• Added debugging info via section header table into OELFs via create-eboot.
• Fixed an issue in create-eboot where NIDs were written for local symbols when they shouldn't be.
• Fixed an issue where drawPixel() in the font, graphics, and pngdec samples were not inlined, causing performance slowdown (thanks m0rph3us1987).
• Added interpreter string write to linker script and removed it from create-eboot.
• Removed condition from create-eboot where requiring a .got.plt section was only checked for SPRX libraries and not SELF eboots; all binaries need this section.
• Removed sample package files to reduce bloat. They will later be available as separate releases.
• Disabled buffering on stdout on various samples for MUSL.

• Added macOS support (thanks Lord Friky).
• Added package file sources for samples to make deploying samples easier, and to better demonstrate how packages should be constructed.
• Fixed an issue where create-lib did not properly export NIDs and therefore dynamic resolving would fail (thanks IDC).
• Fixed an issue where create-eboot/create-lib would occasionally calculate an incorrect data program size due to not accounting for the size of the .sce_proc_param section (thanks IDC).
• Fixed an issue where create-eboot/create-lib would occasionally calculate an incorrect size of the string table due to an off by one via a subtle logic bug related to section padding (thanks IDC).
• Fixed an issue where libraries would not have their Global Offset Table (GOT) / Procedure Linkage Table (PLT) aligned if no .data.rel.ro section was present (thanks IDC).
• Added a build script for create-eboot/create-lib for Windows (thanks IDC).
• Fixed an issue where the __GNUC__ fix was being applied even if it was already defined, causing the compiler to complain if you manually defined it via compiler flags (thanks IDC).
• Added include/x86 directory for systems that don't have it.
• Fixed an issue where even if there was no GOT/PLT, the PS4 would complain on libraries because it needs it for some silly reason. .got.plt is now forced into the build, even if there are no PLT entries (thanks IDC).

• Fixes issue #6 where samples would fail to build on clang 10.0+. Credit to IDC, frangarcj for help root causing the issue, 1UP, and Tustin for initial reports.
• Fixes issue #7 where makefiles were not creating intermediate directories and would thus fail on build.
• Fixes issue #8 where the setup-*.sh scripts in /extra had CRLF line endings, causing errors when attempting to run the scripts.

The first public BETA release of the OpenOrbis PS4 Toolchain. Attached is a copy of the release zip with binaries, as well as a windows NSIS installer for convenience.
