- Support for building simulators without built-in boot or ROM code when building with DONT_USE_INTERNAL_ROM is defined, but to automatically and transparently fetch the needed ROM or other boot code when it is needed. This is possibly useful for systems which don't want to distribute simulators with build-in binary code which may have unknown copyright status.
- Reasonable output produced for all simulators from HELP BOOT.
- Fix occasional hang of IBM1130 simulator while building with Visual Studio.
- Building with the simh makefile can optionally compile each source file separately and store the compiled result. This approach lends itself to quicker building for folks who are developing new simulators or new simulator modules. This was requested and discussed in #697.
- Building with the simh makefile can optionally compile each source file separately and store the compiled result. This approach lends itself to quicker building for folks who are developing new simulators or new simulator modules. This was requested and discussed in #697. Invoking make with BUILD_SEPARATE=1 on the make command line or as an exported environment variable will achieve separate compiles. Invoking make with QUIET=1 on the make command line or as an exported environment variable will summary output of activities being performed instead of full compiler commands.
- TAPE and SCSI libraries have been extended to fully support partial record reads of fixed sized records which may contain multiple records in recorded data. Images of this type are common for QIC tape archives generally available on bitsavers and elsewhere. Attach time checking on simulated QIC tape devices reports possible problems that may occur.
- Github CI Actions builds of all simulators for Linux, macOS and Windows platforms.
#### Changes to the PDP-11 and VAX simulators
#### Changes to the PDP-11 and VAX simulators also not in the Open SIMH repo
- All VAXen: Correct HELP CPU to properly describe model specific LOAD options for ROM and NVRAM.

- HELP CPU shows supported breakpoint types.
- Add device support for DL11-C/DL11-D/DL11-E/DLV11-J in addition to the original KL11/DL11-A/DL11-B/DL11-E/DL11-F support. These new devices have different bus address ranges and can coexist with the original DL devices. The new devices are DLCJI and DLCJO and are managed identically to the original DLI and DLO devices.

#### Windows
Compiling on windows is supported with recent versions of Microsoft Visual Studio (Standard or Express) and using GCC via the MinGW32 environment. Things may also work under Cygwin, but that is not the preferred windows environment. Not all features will be available as well as with either Visual Studio or MinGW32.
