devkitPPC 21 and libogc 1.8.3

News via http://www.devkitpro.org/devkitppc/d...-libogc-1-8-3/

Sorry for the lack of release notes on devkitPPC release 20, the updated patch for newlib 1.18.0 wasn’t quite right so we didn’t push it out through the installer. Release 21 is now available through the windows installer and the getting started page on the wiki. These notes combine all updates since devkitPPC r19 and libogc 1.8.1
