 CHANGES
 
-*	merged changes from the xdc-D branch in order to start building with
-	VS2015
+config.bld  switched to the release mode because Windows executables are
+	    failing because they can't find debug versions of Windows DLLs
+
+xdc.runtime cast (xdc_runtime_Assert_Id)(id) causes the following warning when
+	    NULL pointer is passed on 64-bit targets:
+		warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
+		[-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
+	    We can see it only if xdc__strict is defined or stddef.h is
+	    included. In both cases NULL ends up defined as (void*)0. Otherwise,
+	    NULL is defined as 0 and there is no warning
 
 MRS
 
-XDCTOOLS-130	GT_TRACE is currently disabled and we have to start building
-		with VS 2015 to add it back
