The Open Watcom unofficial fork project has its
own version 2.0 now:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openwatcom/
and
http://open-watcom.github.io/open-watcom/
I guess this is Jiri Malak.
Below is list of main differences against oficial Open Watcom:
1. New 2-phase build system, OW can be build by platform native C/C++ compiler or by itself
2. Code generator properly initialize pointers by DLL symbol addresses
3. DOS version of tools now support long file names (LFN) if appropriate LFN driver is loaded by DOS
4. OW is ported to 64-bit hosts (WIN64, Linux X64)
5. Librarian support X64 CPU object modules and libraries
6. RDOS 32-bit C run-time compact memory model libraries are fixed
7. Resource compiler and Resource editors support WIN64 executables
8. OW text editor is now self containing, it can be used as standalone tool without any requirements for any additional files or
configuration
9. Broken C++ compiler pre-compiled header template support is fixed
10. Many C++ compiler crashes are fixed
11. Debugger has no length limit for any used environment variable
