Hello again,
Quick question about 1.4.2 source. When I comopiled the latest source back
in September, I got the " Neon optimizations : ......................
yes"
output. When I compile the official 1.4.2 source, there's nothing about
Neon. Has this just been removed from the output, or is the official 1.4.2
missing something?
Thanks,
Scott
