This release note, the MPW 3.0 ERS' s, and other tool-specific release notes are the documentation for this release. Differences between the ERS, previous 3.0 development releases, and this release are documented below. If no release note exists for something that has an ERS, assume that the piece has been implemented as documented in the ERS. MPW 3.0A2 highlights include a symbolic debugger, project management system, and new C compiler. All of the C pieces of MPW, were compiled with this new C. Since MPW 2.0, the C header files have three important changes: every function has a function prototype, the capitalization for routines that pass strings and points has changed, and the definition of Str255 has changed. The capitalization and Str255 changes will require changes to your C source. See the section below titled ''Interfaces." ( Another change in MPW 3.0A2 may require a change to your Makefiles. The Pascal compiler no longer uses the Load/Dump mechanism. Instead, the compiled object code for each unit is saved in the unit's resource fork. Therefore, dependency rules (in Makefiles) upon Pascal dump files are obsolete. See the section below titled "Pascal." The A2 C compiler now has function prototype checking turned on. Furthermore, the C compiler is very strict about type compatibility. Be forewarned ...
