Detail:
  s/ARMops - Added extra LTORG to fix HiProcVecs build error for some platforms
  hdr/PublicWS - Remove the old (non-Legacy_) workspace exports, and add a comment explaining how the newer Legacy_ exports should be used.
Admin:
  HiProcVecs ROMs for various platforms now appear to build OK
  Untested at runtime


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.266. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_266'

Add support for the new RISC OS 5 style sprite mode word. Add partial support for alpha channel sprite masks. Implement OS_ScreenMode reasons 13-15

Detail:
  ECFShift/ECFYOffset:
  - hdr/PublicWS - Add ECFShift and ECFYOffset to list of public exports (SpriteExtend was using hardcoded values). Rearrange exports so that VduWorkspace exports are now labelled as such.
  - hdr/KernelWS - Make sure ECFShift & ECFYOffset match their exported locations
  - hdr/OSRSI6, s/Middle - Add OS_ReadSysInfo 6 items 83 & 84, for reading ECFYOffset and ECFShift locations
  Mode flags/VDU variables:
  - Makefile - Add hdr/VduExt to the C header exports
  - hdr/VduExt - Get rid of NotRVVTBarWobblyBits macro and defined VDU variables manually so that Hdr2H will handle them. Begin replacing overly generic 'Flag_*' mode flag definitions with 'ModeFlag_*' instead. Define new flags as required by the new screen/sprite modes. Add OS_ScreenMode reason codes and mode selector format (from s.vdu.vdudecl)
  - NewModes/NEWF2, NewModes/O...

Detail:
  s/Middle - Added some new OS_ReadSysInfo 6 items which are needed by the zero page relocation kernel. Also duplicated some existing entries to avoid conflicts with ROL's allocations.
  hdr/OSRSI6, Makefile - New header listing OS_ReadSysInfo 6 items
  hdr/PublicWS - Duplicated the workspace definitions for &0-&4000, but with a 'Legacy_' prefix to their names. Also added some new entries as needed by the zero page relocation kernel. Once existing modules have been updated to use OS_ReadSysInfo 6 & the Legacy_ definitions, the old defs will be removed.
  hdr/KernelWS - Removed 'Export_' prefix from all the exported workspace values, since the kernel can now use the original names directly
  hdr/Options - Dummy HiProcVecs option so merging things will be a bit cleaner
Admin:
  Tested on rev A2 BB-xM

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.118. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_118'

Detail:
  Lots of changes since last version, at least the following:
  * Updated OS timestamp, removed alpha status
  * Negative INKEY OS version changed to &AA
  * GraphicsV is now alocated vector number &2A
  * ROM moved up to &FC000000
  * Max application slot increased to 512 Mbytes (for now)
  * Max size of RMA increased to 256 Mbytes
  * RMA is now first-created dynamic area (so it gets lowest address after
    top of application slot)
  * OS_Memory 10 reimplemeted
  * New OS_ReadSysInfo 6 values 18-22 added
  * OS_ReadSysInfo 8 gains flag bit to indicate soft power-off
  * Misc internal top-bit-set-address fixes
  * *ChangeDynamicArea can take sizes in megabytes or gigabytes
  * Magic word "&off" in R0 passed to OS_Reset powers down if possible
  * Added acceleration: block copy; CLS; text window scroll up; rectangle
    fill
  * Disabled LED flashing in page mode (liable to crash)
  * Masked sprite plot and VDU 5 text avoids reading the screen if possible
  * Framestore made USR mode accessible
  * Fix for VDU 5,127 bug - now relies on font definitions being in extreme
    quarters of memory, rather than bottom half
  * Allocated 64-bit OS_Convert... SWIs
  * IIC errors use allocated error numbers
  * Looks for Dallas RTC before Philips RTC because we're using a Philips
    NVRAM device with the same ID
  * Fix to bug that meant the oscillator in the Dallas RTC wasn't enabled
  * Default mouse type (USB) changed to allocated number
  * Ram disc max size increased to 128 Mbytes (Ursula merge) and made
    cacheable for StrongARMs (not XScale)
  * Branch through zero handler now works in USR mode, by use of a
    trampoline in the system stack to allow PC-relative register storage
  * Address exception handler changed to not use 0 as workspace
  * OS_Memory 13 extended to allow specification of cacheability and access
    privileges
  * Added OS_Memory 16 to return important memory addresses
  * RISCOS_MapInIO() takes cacheable flag in bit 3, access permissions in
    bits 10 and 11, doubly-mapped flag in bit 20, and access permissions
    specified flag in bit 21
  * Bug fix in last version for application abort handlers didn't quite
    work; register shuffle required
  * "Module is not 32-bit compatible" error now reports the module name
  * Default configured language changed from 10 to 11 (now Desktop again)

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.51. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_51'

Check-in of the few last-minute changes for the Customer L demo. Nothing exciting, apart from an extended touchscreen API.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.13. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_13'

* Added ARM_IMB and ARM_IMBRange SWIs as recommended by ARMv5.
* Some early prototype HAL bits popped in - a lot of source restructuring still
  to come.
* New debug target creates an AIF image with debug information, and translates
  this into an ASCII object file for the 16702B logic analyser.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.1. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_1'

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.
