News of May 2010
================

Nearly 3 years after the 'final release' here is once more 
a release of e3: version 2.8. This version was reduced down
to the minimum, i.e, armlinux, e3c and elks parts are
removed, if interested still use e3-2.7.1.

In 2.8 there are fixed some bugs, most of them are related with
UTF-8 processing, thus related to the Linux versions of e3.

Also the Makefile destinations are reduced to:
	make		# same as make 32 (needs NASM)
	make 32		# e3 of 32 bit
	make 64		# e3 of 64 bit
	make install
	make clean

Some other options exist by editing the Makefile:
DEBUG=false   		# or true
NASM_OR_YASM=nasm	# or yasm

Editing e3.h opens some other choices, most important
the choice between default UTF-8 and 7bit-only support.

BTW, the people of YASM and NASM did good jobs last years,
so you can build the 64 bit version of e3 using same
code with both NASM or YASM assemblers without differences.
I have used NASM v.2.08 and YASM v.1.0.0.2319 for this release.

About more changes, see top of ChangeLog file.
