420    
421     V0.4 (alpha) - 10.Apr.1999
422     - upgraded to UAE 0.8.8 CPU, CPU is now built with "gencpu", UAE sources

434     - rom_patches.cpp: removed unnecessary a0/a1 save/restore from drivers
435     - slot_rom.cpp: removed unnecessary a0/a1 save/restore from drivers
436     - serial_defs.h: added error codes
437     - AmigaOS: the Kickstart ROM is no longer used to redirect NIL pointer
438     accesses as this crashes some machines (especially 68040-based);
439     a scratch memory block is used instead
440     - AmigaOS/serial_amiga.cpp: implemented
441     - AmigaOS/ether_amiga.cpp: implemented
442     - AmigaOS/sys_amiga.cpp: SysAddSerialPrefs() now returns real defaults

445     - AmigaOS/main_amiga.cpp: interrupts are disabled during execution
446     of an EMUL_OP routine
447     - AmigaOS/asm_support.asm: the CTRL-C handler checks for pending
448     AmigaDOS operations

450     when the interrupt level in EmulatedSR gets lowered while interrupts
451     are pending
452     - BeOS: switched from project files to Be supplied makefile system
453     - BeOS/ether_beos.cpp: implemented

475     in virtual addressing mode, the Mac frame buffer layout now has to be
476     specified in MacFrameLayout (video.h)
477     - Unix/video_x.cpp: the "screen" prefs item is now read to select
478     window mode (with a specified window size) or DGA mode
479     - Unix/video_x.cpp: DGA mode supports 15, 16 and 32 bit modes (packed
480     24 bit pixels don't work)
481     - Unix/Makefile.linux: added -D_REENTRANT to compiler flags
