# User Rev Content
1 cebix 1.79 V1.0 (snapshot) - <date>
2 gbeauche 1.92 - fixed support for volumes larger than 4 GB
3 cebix 1.79 - fixed the problem with Ticks getting incremented on every interrupt, not
4     just 60Hz (e.g. moving the mouse made the caret blink faster)
5 gbeauche 1.92 - JIT: integrated dynamic translator for Linux/x86 and FreeBSD/x86
6     - JIT: ported backend to support Linux/x86_64 (AMD64 and EM64T platforms)
7     - JIT: fixed translation through constant jumps ("jitinline" config option)
8     - JIT: improve detection of newer CPUs based on the P4 core but
9     fallback to a safe default, if necessary
10 gbeauche 1.86 - Unix: moved minimum autoconf support to 2.52+
11     - Unix: add large file support for 2+ GB hard disk images
12 cebix 1.80 - Unix: cleaned up pthread attributes [Brian Johnson]
13 cebix 1.81 - Unix: fixed floppy problems under Linux
14 cebix 1.87 - Unix: implemented "ignoresegv" feature on Linux/x86, Linux/ppc, Darwin/ppc
15 cebix 1.85 - Unix: serial port baud rates are now set correctly
16     - Unix: it is now possible to make the serial drivers pipe their input/output
17     to programs by using a '|' followed by a command line as the modem or
18     printer port setting (instead of a device name like '/dev/ttyS0')
19     [Brian Johnson]
20     - Unix: the option "--config FILE" tells B2 to use a different config file
21 cebix 1.87 - Unix: new prefs options "dsp" and "mixer" to set the OSS device names
22     instead of the hardcoded '/dev/dsp' and '/dev/mixer'
23 gbeauche 1.89 - Unix: new ether prefs option 'tun' to use a TUN/TAP interface. The
24     configure script used can be overriden with "etherconfig"
25 gbeauche 1.90 - Unix: SDL audio and video output are now available in option
26 gbeauche 1.91 - Unix: sheep_net driver ported to kernel 2.6 (patches from Mac-On-Linux)

35 cebix 1.79
36 cebix 1.78 V1.0 (snapshot) - 15.Jan.2002
37 cebix 1.79 - added support for on-the-fly video resolution and depth switching, and
38     gamma tables
39     - fsave/frestore emulation under AmigaOS and NetBSD/m68k always behaves like
40     a 68882/68040 FPU, eliminating the need for 68060 FPU patches
41     - added support for platform-independant mutexes, used by adb.cpp for
42     thread-safe mouse handling
43     - the TIME_OFFSET constant has been replaced by a (portable) function
44     TimeToMacTime(); file dates in ExtFS should now be correct
45     - ADBInterrupt() is no longer called from the 60Hz interrupt but has its own
46     interrupt flag, potentially increasing the smoothness of mouse movement
47     - ether.cpp: implemented relatively platform-independant "AppleTalk over UDP"
48     mode that doesn't require any special kernel modules or network drivers but
49     can only interconnect instances of Basilisk II; this is enabled by setting
50     "udptunnel" to true
51     - Unix: windowed display mode supports different resolutions and color depths,
52     which can be switched on-the-fly
53     - Unix: Ctrl-F5 grabs mouse in windowed mode (enhanced compatibility with
54     games like flight simulators)
55     - Unix: X11 events are handled as soon as they arrive, outside of the 60Hz
56     video refresh raster
57     - Unix: audio sample rate, bit depth and channel count are adjustable in the
58     MacOS "Sound" control panel

107     - AmigaOS/Unix: it's possible to specify preferences items on the command line
108     - BeOS: implemented the "powerrom_cpu" CPU engine for BeOS/PPC that uses the
109     680x0 emulator contained in an Apple PowerMac ROM to run Basilisk II (ca.
110     4x speed improvement); when running on a BeBox, a PCI PowerMac ROM image is
111     needed to use this (the path name of the ROM file can be set with the
112     preferences item "powerrom", default is "PowerROM")
113     - include/macos_util.h: defines FOURCC() macro to make MacOS-like
114     four-character-codes, replaced most instances of multi-character constants
115     in the sources by this macro to avoid compiler warnings

129     wheel options

133     read back correctly

165     turned off
166     - medium removal is allowed in CDROMExit()
167     - added (incomplete) emulation of 68040 instructions (CINV, CPUSH,

181     device capabilities (actual sample rate is also determined)
