* A new obj2 version of the obj output format, intended for use on OS/2. See section 9.5.
* The condition after %if or %elif would be evaluated while output is suppressed
after %exitrep or %exitmacro. Although no output would be generated in either case,
assembly would fail if evaluating the expression triggered an error.
* Fix encoding of TCVTROWPS2PHL, correct multiple AVX512-BF16 instructions' operand
formats and typoed mnemonics.
* The unofficial but obvious alternate form TEST reg,mem was not accepted by NASM 3.00;
corrected.
* For the obj output format, multiple GROUP directives can now be specified for the same
group; the resulting group includes all sections specified in all GROUP directives for
the group.
* A new %selbits() preprocessor function. See section 5.4.19.
* A new --bits option as convenience shorthand for --before "BITS ...". See section 2.1.31.
* The options and pragmas for configuring external label mangling were inconsistent, the
former using the spelling postfix and the latter suffix. Furthermore, these were also
documented as directives in addition to pragmas. Implement the already documented
directives (bracketed forms only) and allow both postfix and suffix in all cases.
See section 2.1.28 and section 8.10.
* Define additional permissive patterns and fix several opcode bugs.
* Fix parsing of two-operand forms of x87 instructions.
* Fix bogus "absolute address can not be RIP-relative" warning.
* Hopefully fix building with OpenWatcom.
* Generate a warning, promoted to error by default, on the use of o64 prefixes in
16- or 32-bit mode. If demoted to a warning or suppressed the prefix is ignored, but
likely will trigger subsequent, harder to debug, error messages.
* More consistent handling of jump and call instructions with specified operand sizes.
* Fix an operand size handling bug in the CMPXCHG instruction.
- Update to 3.00:
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:tools:compiler/nasm?expand=0&rev=60
* Fix building from git in a separate directory from the source.
* Remove some irrelevant files from the source distribution.
* Make the documentation stronger that -O0 or -O1 are probably
not what the user wants. See section 2.1.24.
* Fix configure --enable-lto build option.
* Update the included RPM .spec file.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:tools:compiler/nasm?expand=0&rev=58
- Update to 2.16.02:
* Fix building from the source distribution in a separate directory
from the source.
* Fix a number of issues when building from source, mostly
involving configure or dependency generation.
In particular, more aggressively avoid cross-compilation problems
on Unix/Linux systems automatically invoking WINE. We could end
up invoking WINE even when we didn't want to, making configure
think it was running native when in fact cross-compiling.
* Hopefully fix compiling with the latest versions of MSVC/nmake.
* Windows host: add embedded manifest file. Without a manifest,
Windows applications force a fixed PATH_MAX limit to any
pathname; this is unnecessary.
* Add support VEX-encoded SM4-NI instructions.
* Add support for VEX-encoded SM3-NI instructions.
* Add support for VEX-encoded SHA512-NI instructions.
* PTWRITE opcode corrected (F3 prefix required.)
* Disassembler: the SMAP instructions are NP; notably the prefixed
versions of CLAC are ERETU/ERETS.
* Add support for Flexible Return and Exception Delivery (FRED):
the LKGS, ERETS and ERETU instructions.
* Fix external references to segments in the obj (OMF) and
possibly other output formats.
* Always support up to 8 characters, i.e. 64 bits, in a
string-to-numeric conversion.
* Preprocessor: add %map() function to expand a macro from
a list of arguments, see section 4.4.7.
* Preprocessor: allow the user to specify the desired radix
for an evaluated parameter. It doesn't make any direct difference,
but can be nice for debugging or turning into strings.

* Support for the rdf format has been discontinued and all the
RDOFF utilities has been removed.
* The --reproducible option now leaves the filename field in the
COFF object format blank. This was always rather useless since it is
only 18 characters long; as such debug formats have to carry their own
filename information anyway.
* Fix handling of MASM-syntax reserved memory (e.g. dw ?) when
used in structure definitions.
* The preprocessor now supports functions, which can be less verbose
and more convenient than the equivalent code implemented using
directives. See ppfunc.
* Fix the handling of %00 in the preprocessor.
* Fix incorrect handling of path names affecting error messages,
dependency generation, and debug format output.
* Support for the RDOFF output format and the RDOFF tools have been
removed. The RDOFF tools had already been broken since at least NASM
2.14. For flat code the ELF output format recommended; for segmented
code the obj (OMF) output format.
* New facility: preprocessor functions. Preprocessor functions, which
are expanded similarly to single-line macros, can greatly simplify
code that in the past would have required a lengthy list of directives
and intermediate macros. See ppfunc.
* Single-line macros can now declare parameters (using a &&
prefix) that creates a quoted string, but does not requote an
already quoted string. See define.
* Instruction table updated per public information available as of
November 2022.
* All warnings in the preprocessor have now been assigned warning
classes. See warnings.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:tools:compiler/nasm?expand=0&rev=53
- update to 2.15.4:
* More sensible handling of the case where one single-line macro
definition will shadow another.
* Add special preprocessor tokens \c{%*?} and \c{%*??} that expand
like \c{%?} and \c{%??} in single-line macros only. See
\k{selfref%*?}.
* Fix SSE instructions not being recognized with an explicit memory
operation size (e.g. \c{movsd qword [eax],xmm0}).
* The \c{-L+} option no longer enables \c{-Lw}, which is mainly
useful to debug NASM crashes. See \k{opt-L}.
* The NASM-only RDOFF output format backend, which has been broken
since at least NASM 2.14, has been disabled. The RDOFF tools are
scheduled to be removed from the NASM distribution in NASM 2.16. If
you have a concrete use case for RDOFF, please file a NASM bug report
at \W{https://bugs.nasm.us/}\c{https://bugs.nasm.us/} as soon as
possible. See \k{rdffmt}.
