<div class="textblock"><p>This section contains information that may be useful to know or important when upgrading to a newer GBDK release.</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md115"></a>
GBDK 2020 versions</h1>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md116"></a>
Porting to GBDK 2020 4.0.3</h2>
<ul>
<li>No significant changes required</li>
</ul>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md117"></a>
Porting to GBDK 2020 4.0.2</h2>
<ul>
<li>The default font has been reduced from 256 to 96 characters.<ul>
<li>Code using special characters may need to be updated.</li>
<li>The off-by-1 character index offset was removed for fonts. Old fonts with the offset need to be re-adjusted.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md118"></a>
Porting to GBDK 2020 4.0.1</h2>
<ul>
<li><b>Important!</b> : The <code>WRAM</code> memory region is no longer automatically initialized to zeros during startup.<ul>
<li>Any variables which are declared without being initialized may have <b>indeterminate values instead of 0</b> on startup. This might reveal previously hidden bugs in your code.</li>
<li>Check your code for variables that are not initialized before use.</li>
<li>In BGB you can turn on triggering exceptions (options panel) reading from unitialized RAM. This allows for some additional runtime detection of uninitialized vars.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>In .ihx files, multiple writes to the same ROM address are now warned about using <a class="el" href="docs_toolchain.html#ihxcheck">ihxcheck</a>.</li>
<li><code>set_*_tiles()</code> now wrap maps around horizontal and vertical boundaries correctly. Code relying on it not wrapping correctly may be affected.</li>
</ul>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md119"></a>
Porting to GBDK 2020 4.0</h2>
<ul>
<li>GBDK now requires SDCC 4.0.3 or higher</li>
<li>The old linker <code>link-gbz80</code> has been REMOVED, the linker <a class="el" href="docs_toolchain.html#sdldgb">sdldgb</a> from SDCC is used.<ul>
<li>Due to the linker change, there are no longer warnings about multiple writes to the same ROM address.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>GBDK now generates .ihx files, those are converted to a ROM using <a class="el" href="docs_toolchain.html#makebin">makebin</a> (lcc can do this automatically in some use cases)</li>
<li>Setting ROM bytes directly with <code>-Wl-yp0x&lt;address&gt;=0x&lt;value&gt;</code> is no longer supported. Instead use <a class="el" href="docs_toolchain.html#makebin">makebin</a> flags. For example, use <code>-Wm-yC</code> instead of <code>-Wl-yp0x143=0xC0</code>. See <a class="el" href="docs_faq.html#faq_gb_type_header_setting">faq_gb_type_header_setting</a>.</li>
<li>OAM symbol has been renamed to _shadow_OAM, that allows accessing shadow OAM directly from C code</li>
</ul>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md120"></a>
Porting to GBDK 2020 3.2</h2>
<ul>
<li>No significant changes required</li>
</ul>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md121"></a>
Porting to GBDK 2020 3.1.1</h2>
<ul>
<li>No significant changes required</li>
</ul>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md122"></a>
Porting to GBDK 2020 3.1</h2>
<ul>
<li>No significant changes required</li>
</ul>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md123"></a>
Porting to GBDK 2020 3.0.1</h2>
<ul>
<li>LCC was upgraded to use SDCC v4.0. Makefile changes may be required<ul>
<li>The symbol format changed. To get bgb compatible symbols turn on <code>.noi</code> output (LCC argument: <code>-Wl-j</code> or <code>-debug</code>) and use <code>-Wm-yS</code></li>
<li>?? Suggested: With LCC argument: <code>-Wa-l</code> (sdasgb:<code>-a All user symbols made global</code>)</li>
<li>In SDCC 3.6.0, the default for char changed from signed to unsigned.<ul>
<li>If you want the old behavior use <code>--fsigned-char</code>.</li>
<li>lcc includes <code>--fsigned-char</code> by default</li>
<li>Explicit declaration of unsigned vars is encouraged (for example, '15U' instead of '15')</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>.init</code> address has been removed</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h1><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md125"></a>
Historical GBDK versions</h1>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md126"></a>
GBDK 1.1 to GBDK 2.0</h2>
<ul>
<li>Change your int variables to long if they have to be bigger than 255. If they should only contain values between 0 and 255, use an unsigned int.</li>
<li>If your application uses the delay function, you'll have to adapt your delay values.</li>
<li>Several functions have new names. In particular some of them have been changed to macros (e.g. show_bkg() is now SHOW_BKG).</li>
<li>You will probably have to change the name of the header files that you include. </li>
