      Added a test program and profiling for messages. · 5951aeb5
      Stewart Brodie authored
      Detail:
        The kernel can now disable all substitutions into error messages that
          it generates and count the number of times each error is looked up.
          The ErrorCount BASIC program then displays that information so that
          you can see if any odd errors are occurring or weird errors that you
          would not be expecting.
        It is not sensible to build a release with countmsgusage enabled.

      Improved the error cacheing. · 3976268c
      Stewart Brodie authored
        Removed DriversInKernel conditional.
      Detail:
        If the territory changes or the resource file changes, the kernel
          will now decache all the cached error blocks so that next time
          they are required, they will be looked up again.
        The error cacheing is now a kernel build option and is always set
          to on.
        Removed one of the 5 error messages to be cached - it never seems
          to happen.  The remaining 4 are more frequent.
      Admin:
        Tested in Ursula build.
        Cannot be used with HdrSrc 0.94.  HdrSrc 0.95 and later is required
          (or HdrSrc 0.93 and earlier subject to other kernel requirements)
        Requires MessageTrans 0.42 or later for correct operation when a
          replacement messages file is loaded.

      Fixed minor bug in module initialisation. · efd9b01e
      Stewart Brodie authored
        Added common error cache.
      Detail:
        Fixed module header validation code which was broken in 5.22.  This
          shouldn't have caused much of a problem as it was only a bizarre
          check (SWI chunk looked valid but SWI handler was 0) that would
          have failed - but be reported as a valid set of SWI entries.
        Added common error message cache.  Several common errors (Buffer
          overflow; Number not recognised; Bad vector release; and a couple
          of others) are now cached the first time they are translated into
          a block of memory in the system heap.
      Admin:
        Tested in Ursula build - cacheing only active in Ursula build - change
          HdrSrc if you want it in your products too.
        Requires HdrSrc 0.94

      32-bit Kernel. · b4016e9c
      Kevin Bracey authored
      Details:
        The Kernel will now compile to produce a pure 32-bit system if No26bitCode is
        set to TRUE.
        If No26bitCode is FALSE, then the Kernel will be a standard 26-bit Kernel,
        although some internal changes have taken place to minimise compile
        switches between the two cases. See Docs.32bit for more technical info.
      
        The hardest part was the flood-fill...
      
      Other changes:
        Pointer shape changes now take place on the next VSync, rather than actually
        WAITING for the VSync. Turning the Hourglass on shouldn't slow your machine
        down by 5% now :)
      
        Lots of really crusty pre-IOMD code removed.
      
      Admin:
        Tested in 32 and 26-bit forms in a limited desktop build. Basically, this
        will need to see a lot of use to iron out difficulties. I'd like anyone who
        has a non-frozen project to at least attempt using this Kernel.
