DJGPP V2.03 Refresh
Released for distribution January 8, 2002
DJGPP release V2.03 has been available since January 2000. In that time a small number of bugs have been discovered and corrected. Windows 2000 and Windows XP were released with some bugs in their DOS support. Since V2.04 will have many new features and is not yet ready it was decided to provide a "fixed" release V2.03. The goal for the refreshed release was to provide no new features, complete binary compatibility, and just fixes for known problems that were simple and low risk to fix. Some binaries have been rebuilt with the updated library to make installs easier on Windows 2000 and XP.
The following changes were made to the 2.03 refresh:
| Windows 2000 and XP long file name support fixes | |
| Windows 2000 and XP program nesting fixes | |
| Windows 2000 and XP debugging breakpoint fixes | |
| Windows NT, 2000 and XP sbrk address wrap fixes | |
| Windows ME fixes in rename and mkdir | |
| DPMI routine __dpmi_simulate_real_mode_procedure_retf_stack fix | |
| Symify fixes to prevent crashes on symbol interpretation | |
| Error message instead of crash if no selector for _dos_ds | |
| Termios read bug fix on STDIN | |
| Format fix in strftime | |

| Long path bug fixes (to prevent being treated as /) | |
