[ViewVC] Annotation of: cebix/BasiliskII/ChangeLog

V1.0 (snapshot) - <date>
 - fixed the problem with Ticks getting incremented on every interrupt, not
   just 60Hz (e.g. moving the mouse made the caret blink faster)
 - Unix: cleaned up pthread attributes [Brian Johnson]
 - Unix: fixed floppy problems under Linux
 - Unix: implement "ignoresegv" feature on Linux/x86, Linux/ppc, Darwin/ppc
 - Unix: serial port baud rates are now set correctly
 - Unix: it is now possible to make the serial drivers pipe their input/output
   to programs by using a '|' followed by a command line as the modem or
   printer port setting (instead of a device name like '/dev/ttyS0')
   [Brian Johnson]
 - Unix: the option "--config FILE" tells B2 to use a different config file

V1.0 (snapshot) - 15.Jan.2002
 - added support for on-the-fly video resolution and depth switching, and
   gamma tables
 - fsave/frestore emulation under AmigaOS and NetBSD/m68k always behaves like
   a 68882/68040 FPU, eliminating the need for 68060 FPU patches
 - added support for platform-independant mutexes, used by adb.cpp for
   thread-safe mouse handling
 - the TIME_OFFSET constant has been replaced by a (portable) function
   TimeToMacTime(); file dates in ExtFS should now be correct
 - ADBInterrupt() is no longer called from the 60Hz interrupt but has its own
   interrupt flag, potentially increasing the smoothness of mouse movement
 - ether.cpp: implemented relatively platform-independant "AppleTalk over UDP"
   mode that doesn't require any special kernel modules or network drivers but
   can only interconnect instances of Basilisk II; this is enabled by setting
   "udptunnel" to true
 - Unix: windowed display mode supports different resolutions and color depths,
   which can be switched on-the-fly
 - Unix: Ctrl-F5 grabs mouse in windowed mode (enhanced compatibility with
   games like flight simulators)
 - Unix: X11 events are handled as soon as they arrive, outside of the 60Hz
   video refresh raster
 - Unix: audio sample rate, bit depth and channel count are adjustable in the
   MacOS "Sound" control panel

V0.9 (release 0.9-1) - 31.May 2001
 - final adjustments for 0.9 release

V0.9 (snapshot) - 29.May 2001

   options
 - serial_unix.cpp: input/output_thread_cancel weren't initialized
   [Kolja Waschk]
 - Unix: some performance improvements to VOSF screen update code
   [Brian J. Johnson]
 - Unix: renewed SIGSEGV support functions. Side effect: configure script
   cleanups and probable Direct Addressing/VOSF support for other platforms
   (NetBSD, AIX, OSF/1, Irix) [Gwenole Beauchesne]
 - Unix: -Ofast option is supplied to MIPSPro compiler [Brian J. Johnson]
 - Unix: workaround for IRIX pthreads bug in Delay_usec() [Brian J. Johnson]

   updating 15 and 16 bpp displays on big endian systems
 - Unix: added (experimental) real addressing mode [Gwenole Beauchesne]
   (activated through the "--enable-addressing=real" configure option)

   mode, if possible)
 - Unix: added screen updates on SEGV signals [Gwenole Beauchesne] (activated
   through the "--enable-vosf" configure option)

 - AmigaOS/Unix/extfs_*.cpp: .finf helper file now stores complete
   FInfo/FXInfo, replaced get/set_finder_*() functions by get/set_finfo()
 - AmigaOS/Unix: it's possible to specify preferences items on the command line
 - BeOS: implemented the "powerrom_cpu" CPU engine for BeOS/PPC that uses the
   680x0 emulator contained in an Apple PowerMac ROM to run Basilisk II (ca.
   4x speed improvement); when running on a BeBox, a PCI PowerMac ROM image is
   needed to use this (the path name of the ROM file can be set with the
   preferences item "powerrom", default is "PowerROM")
 - include/macos_util.h: defines FOURCC() macro to make MacOS-like
   four-character-codes, replaced most instances of multi-character constants
   in the sources by this macro to avoid compiler warnings

   turned off
