Hi Dragisha,

I don't think that anything has changed or become broken recently
regarding the cm3 build, too. If you want to avoid the tedious
upgrade path, you can always find some recent executables in the
Hudson jobs' workspaces. They only follow the release branch
currently though.

For example, look at

    
http://hudson.modula3.com:8080/job/cm3-build-LINUXLIBC6/ws/cm3/m3-sys/cm3/LINUXLIBC6/

for the Linux 32 bit platform. If the build isn't in progress right when
you look, you should find the last built cm3 there. Of course you can
do that for other target platforms, too, as long as the servers are up.

I haven't started building RC5 yet, as more testing is going on for the
64 bit LONGINT changes in the integrated Windows backend. So there is no
`official' package giving you the latest state as you seem to require.

Hope this helps,

Olaf
