2 cebix 1.50 - Unix: some performance improvements to VOSF screen update code
3     [Brian J. Johnson]
4    
5 cebix 1.49 V0.9 (snapshot) - 17.Feb.2001
6 cebix 1.42 - adapted for mon V3.0 which is now the required minimum
7 gbeauche 1.41 - UAE cpu: fixed a bug in the memory handlers preventing from
8     correctly updating 15 and 16 bpp displays on big endian systems

10     (activated through the "--enable-addressing=real" configure option)
11     - Unix: added direct addressing mode [Gwenole Beauchesne]
12     (default addressing mode, if possible)
13     - Unix: added screen updates on SEGV signals [Gwenole Beauchesne]
14     (activated through the "--enable-vosf" configure option)
15 cebix 1.44 - Unix: added IRIX audio driver [Brian J. Johnson]
16     - Unix: improved timing of periodic threads
17 cebix 1.45 - Unix: command line options now use '--'-prefix, e.g. "--rominfo"

19 cebix 1.37 - AmigaOS: Amiga mouse pointer is hidden inside windowed Mac displays

26 cebix 1.46 - AmigaOS: disabled 68060 Super Bypass mode because of CPU bug triggered
27     by MacOS 8

34     uses the 680x0 emulator contained in an Apple PowerMac ROM to run
35     Basilisk II (ca. 4x speed improvement); when running on a BeBox,
36     a PCI PowerMac ROM image is needed to use this (the path name of the
37     ROM file can be set with the preferences item "powerrom", default
38     is "PowerROM")

77     and Mac2Mac_memcpy
78     - extfs.cpp: fixed bug in fs_rename() and fs_cat_move() (auxiliary

94     copying bug and also most "unimplemented trap" errors on MacOS
95     bootup; yeah :-)
96     - a warning is issued if the ROM seems to require an FPU but FPU
97     emulation is turned off
98 cebix 1.12 - medium removal is allowed in CDROMExit()

365     be set via prefs("scr/<mode>")
366    
367     V0.4 (alpha) - 15.Apr.1999
368     - Added some literature references to the source files
369     - Modularized CPU engine: the interface of the CPU engine is now
370     defined in cpu_emulation.h, so different CPU engines can be
371     substituted more easily [as requested by Bill Huey]
372     - uae_cpu/gencpu.c: duplicate_carry() was missing in SUB and NBCD routines
373     - Unix: added autoconf stuff
374     - Unix: modified the makefile so it won't fail if cpuopti didn't work
375     [Daniel Thompson]
376    
377     V0.4 (alpha) - 11.Apr.1999
378     - cdrom.cpp: find_hfs_partition() bailed out too soon when finding no
379     "PN" signature [Lauri Pesonen]
380     - prefs.cpp: prefs file allows more whitespace between keyword and value
381     [Lauri Pesonen]
382     - prefs.cpp: remodeled to allow platform-specific prefs items (list of
383     keywords is kept in table)
384     - video.cpp/cscSetEntries: luminance mapping uses integer instead of
385     floating point math
386     - video_*.cpp: on most systems, the frame buffer is allocated with
387     two additional lines as some ROM versions seem to write behind
388     the frame buffer proper
389     - BeOS/Unix/sysdeps.h: defined X86_ASSEMBLY on i386/GCC systems
390     - BeOS/Unix/sysdeps.h: redefined get/put_mem() functions to take and
391     return an uae_u32 value, added some more x86 optimizations
392     - Unix/serial_unix.cpp/kSERDBaudRate: rates between 57600 and 65535
393     result in a rate of 57600 [Lauri Pesonen]
394    
395     V0.4 (alpha) - 10.Apr.1999
396     - upgraded to UAE 0.8.8 CPU, CPU is now built with "gencpu", UAE sources
397     moved to "uae" directory
398     - new preferences item "rom" to specify the path of the ROM file
399     - new preferences item "ether" for Ethernet driver
400     - new INTFLAG_ETHER interrupt flag
401     - main_*.cpp: added ChoiceAlert()
402     - main_*.cpp: disabled UAE FPU (as it is buggy)
403     - serial_*.cpp: device_name is now a "const char *"
404     - serial_*.cpp: implemented monitor (#define MONITOR 1 to activate)
405     - *.h: changed "#ifdef _XXX_H_" to "#ifdef XXX_H" as symbols starting
406     with an underscore are reserved
407     - rom_patches.cpp: icon data moved to sony/disk/cdrom.cpp
408     - rom_patches.cpp: removed unnecessary a0/a1 save/restore from drivers
409     - slot_rom.cpp: removed unnecessary a0/a1 save/restore from drivers
410     - serial_defs.h: added error codes
411     - AmigaOS: the Kickstart ROM is no longer used to redirect NIL pointer
412     accesses as this crashes some machines (especially 68040-based);
413     a scratch memory block is used instead
414     - AmigaOS/serial_amiga.cpp: implemented
415     - AmigaOS/ether_amiga.cpp: implemented
416     - AmigaOS/sys_amiga.cpp: SysAddSerialPrefs() now returns real defaults
417     - AmigaOS/main_amiga.cpp: when the memory for the Mac RAM and ROM
418     cannot be allocated, an error message is displayed (instead of crashing)
419     - AmigaOS/main_amiga.cpp: interrupts are disabled during execution
420     of an EMUL_OP routine
421     - AmigaOS/asm_support.asm: the CTRL-C handler checks for pending
422     AmigaDOS operations
423     - AmigaOS/asm_support.asm: the interrupt signal exception is rethrown
424     when the interrupt level in EmulatedSR gets lowered while interrupts
425     are pending
426     - BeOS: switched from project files to Be supplied makefile system
427     - BeOS/ether_beos.cpp: implemented
428     - BeOS/serial_beos.cpp: modem status of parallel device is returned
429     as (dsrEvent | dcdEvent | ctsEvent)
430     - BeOS/serial_beos.cpp: implemented kSERDBaudRate
431     - BeOS/serial_beos.cpp: serdtDCE is set in PrimeIn()/PrimeOut()
432     - Unix/serial_unix.cpp: added support for parallel ports
433     - Unix/serial_unix.cpp: serdtDCE is set in PrimeIn()/PrimeOut()
434     - Unix/video_x.cpp: pressing F12 and q will quit Basilisk II in DGA mode
435     (useful when it crashed)
436    
437     V0.3 (alpha) - 14.Mar.1999
438     - Unix/video_x.cpp: added 15, 16 and 32 bit window modes [Bill Huey]
439     - BeOS/video_beos.cpp: "screen" prefs item is now either
440     "win/<width>/<height>" for window mode or "scr" for full-screen
441     mode
442     - added documentation of preferences file format to README
443    
444     V0.2 (alpha) - 11.Mar.1999
445     - tested with ROM versions 19 and 26
446     - prefs.cpp: renamed TYPE_BOOL to TYPE_BOOLEAN beacuse of name clash on
447     BeOS R4.1
448     - uae_memory.cpp: added support for frame buffer pixel type conversion
449     in virtual addressing mode, the Mac frame buffer layout now has to be
450     specified in MacFrameLayout (video.h)
451     - Unix/video_x.cpp: the "screen" prefs item is now read to select
452     window mode (with a specified window size) or DGA mode
453     - Unix/video_x.cpp: DGA mode supports 15, 16 and 32 bit modes (packed
454     24 bit pixels don't work)
455     - Unix/Makefile.linux: added -D_REENTRANT to compiler flags
456    
457     V0.2 (alpha) - 23.Jan.1999
458     - first alpha release
