# Line 1 | Line 1
1 + V1.0 (snapshot) - <date>
2 +        - added support for on-the-fly video resolution and depth switching,
3 +          and gamma tables
4 +        - fsave/frestore emulation under AmigaOS and NetBSD/m68k always behaves
5 +          like a 68882/68040 FPU, eliminating the need for 68060 FPU patches
6 +        - added support for platform-independant mutexes, used by adb.cpp for
7 +          thread-safe mouse handling
8 +        - the TIME_OFFSET constant has been replaced by a (portable) function
9 +          TimeToMacTime(); file dates in ExtFS should now be correct
10 +        - ADBInterrupt() is no longer called from the 60Hz interrupt but has
11 +          its own interrupt flag, potentially increasing the smoothness of
12 +          mouse movement
13 +        - ether.cpp: implemented relatively platform-independant "AppleTalk
14 +          over UDP" mode that doesn't require any special kernel modules or
15 +          network drivers but can only interconnect instances of Basilisk II;
16 +          this is enabled by setting "udptunnel" to true
17 +        - Unix: windowed display mode supports different resolutions and color
18 +          depths, which can be switched on-the-fly
19 +        - Unix: Ctrl-F5 grabs mouse in windowed mode (enhanced compatibility
20 +          with games like flight simulators)
21 +        - Unix: X11 events are handled as soon as they arrive, outside of the
22 +          60Hz video refresh raster
23 +        - Unix: audio sample rate, bit depth and channel count are adjustable
24 +          in the MacOS "Sound" control panel
25 +
26 + V0.9 (release 0.9-1) - 31.May 2001
27 +        - final adjustments for 0.9 release
28 +
29 + V0.9 (snapshot) - 29.May 2001
30 +        - added help for command line arguments, PrefsInit() now removes
31 +          all processed options
32 +        - serial_unix.cpp: input/output_thread_cancel weren't initialized
33 +          [Kolja Waschk]
34 +        - Unix: some performance improvements to VOSF screen update code
35 +          [Brian J. Johnson]
36 +        - Unix: renewed SIGSEGV support functions. Side effect: configure
37 +          script cleanups and probable Direct Addressing/VOSF support for
38 +          other platforms (NetBSD, AIX, OSF/1, Irix) [Gwenole Beauchesne]
39 +        - Unix: -Ofast option is supplied to MIPSPro compiler [Brian J. Johnson]
40 +        - Unix: workaround for IRIX pthreads bug in Delay_usec()
41 +          [Brian J. Johnson]
42 +        - Unix: FreeBSD configure script cleanups [Michael Alyn Miller]
43 +        - Unix: ether_linux.cpp moved and renamed to ether_unix.cpp, now
44 +          also works with the tap driver under FreeBSD [Michael Alyn Miller]
45 +        - BeOS: fixed some bugs in the extfs file types handling
46 +        - AmigaOS: SCSI buffer type can be selected
47 +
48 + V0.9 (snapshot) - 17.Feb.2001
49 +        - adapted for cxmon V3.0 which is now the required minimum
50 +        - UAE cpu: fixed a bug in the memory handlers preventing from
51 +          correctly updating 15 and 16 bpp displays on big endian systems
52 +        - Unix: added (experimental) real addressing mode [Gwenole Beauchesne]
53 +          (activated through the "--enable-addressing=real" configure option)
54 +        - Unix: added direct addressing mode [Gwenole Beauchesne]
55 +          (default addressing mode, if possible)
56 +        - Unix: added screen updates on SEGV signals [Gwenole Beauchesne]
57 +          (activated through the "--enable-vosf" configure option)
58 +        - Unix: added IRIX audio driver [Brian J. Johnson]
59 +        - Unix: improved timing of periodic threads
60 +        - Unix: command line options now use '--'-prefix, e.g. "--rominfo"
61 +        - AmigaOS: enabled floppy support, fixed floppy bugs [Jürgen Lachmann]
62 +        - AmigaOS: Amiga mouse pointer is hidden inside windowed Mac displays
63 +        - AmigaOS/sys_amiga.cpp: workaround for 2060scsi.device bug when
64 +          when reading from CD-ROM [Jürgen Lachmann]
65 +        - AmigaOS/prefs_editor_amiga.cpp: fixed bug when adding volumes
66 +          [Jürgen Lachmann]
67 +        - AmigaOS: added MacsBug support (tested with MacsBug6.6.1),
68 +          fixed <move sr,(sp)> bug [Jürgen Lachmann]
69 +        - AmigaOS: disabled 68060 Super Bypass mode because of CPU bug triggered
70 +          by MacOS 8
71 +        - AmigaOS: implemented XPRAM watchdog task
72 +        - AmigaOS/Unix/extfs_*.cpp: .finf helper file now stores complete
73 +          FInfo/FXInfo, replaced get/set_finder_*() functions by get/set_finfo()
74 +        - AmigaOS/Unix: it's possible to specify preferences items on the
75 +          command line
76 +        - BeOS: implemented the "powerrom_cpu" CPU engine for BeOS/PPC that
77 +          uses the 680x0 emulator contained in an Apple PowerMac ROM to run
78 +          Basilisk II (ca. 4x speed improvement); when running on a BeBox,
79 +          a PCI PowerMac ROM image is needed to use this (the path name of the
80 +          ROM file can be set with the preferences item "powerrom", default
81 +          is "PowerROM")
82 +        - include/macos_util.h: defines FOURCC() macro to make MacOS-like
83 +          four-character-codes, replaced most instances of multi-character
84 +          constants in the sources by this macro to avoid compiler warnings
85 +        - cdrom.cpp: implemented Status(6) call (return format list)
86 +          [Landon Fuller]
87 +        - Imported some changes from the Windows port, most notably FPU fixes
88 +          and the 1Hz interrupt [Lauri Pesonen]
89 +        - Ported Lauri Pesonen's FPU core to GCC/i386 [Gwenole Beauchesne]
90 +
91 + V0.8 (snapshot) - 13.Jul.2000
92 +        - Unix: runs natively on NetBSD/m68k
93 +        - Unix: compiles without pthreads, but without serial/ethernet/audio
94 +          support
95 +        - Unix: "--without-mon" configure option now works
96 +        - Unix/video_x.cpp: DGA and SHM are only tried on local X11 displays
97 +        - Unix/video_x.cpp: re-integrated old window update method; frameskip=0
98 +          ("Dynamic") selects new method, other values select old method
99 +        - Unix/prefs_editor_unix.cpp: new "Input" pane, containing keycode
100 +          and mouse wheel options
101 +        - AmigaOS: added support for CyberGraphX [Jürgen Lachmann]
102 +        - audio.cpp: audio_data is cleared on reset [Lauri Pesonen]
103 +        - prefs.cpp: empty string prefs items could be written to prefs file
104 +          but not read back correctly
105 +        - clip_*.cpp: added prefs item "noclipconversion" for turning off
106 +          charset conversion of text clips (only CR->LF gets translated),
107 +          [Toshimitsu Tanaka]
108 +
109 + V0.8 (snapshot) - 14.Mar.2000
110 +        - Unix/video_x.cpp: new window refresh code [Samuel Lander]
111 +        - Unix/timer_unix.cpp: fixed time zone handling under Linux and SVR4
112 +
113 + V0.8 (release 0.8-1) - 30.Jan.2000
114 +        - extfs: extended size of finf helper files to 32 bytes to eventually
115 +          allow storing the complete FInfo/FXInfo in it
116 +
117 + V0.8 (snapshot) - 22.Dec.1999
118 +        - imported UAE CPU 0.8.10 changes
119 +        - new utility functions Mac_memset, Mac2Host_memcpy, Host2Mac_memcpu
120 +          and Mac2Mac_memcpy
121 +        - extfs.cpp: fixed bug in fs_rename() and fs_cat_move() (auxiliary
122 +          IOParam block was not in Mac address space and FSItem parent IDs
123 +          didn't get swapped) [Lauri Pesonen]
124 +        - extfs.cpp: several fixes [Lauri Pesonen]
125 +        - some provisions for using UAE CPU compiler (doesn't work yet)
126 +        - video_x.cpp: XFree86 VidMode extension is used to switch modes
127 +          in DGA mode
128 +
129 + V0.8 (snapshot) - 2.Nov.1999
130 +        - fixed many UAE FPU bugs [Lauri Pesonen]
131 +        - added replacement for BlockMove() trap
132 +        - removed Windows sources from the source archive; a version of
133 +          these that actually compiles and works can be downloaded from
134 +          Lauri Pesonen's site
135 +        - removed the MemoryDispatch() replacement routine; the routine
136 +          in the ROM is now always used; this fixes the MacOS 8 Finder
137 +          copying bug and also most "unimplemented trap" errors on MacOS
138 +          bootup; yeah :-)
139 +        - a warning is issued if the ROM seems to require an FPU but FPU
140 +          emulation is turned off
141 +        - medium removal is allowed in CDROMExit()
142 +        - added (incomplete) emulation of 68040 instructions (CINV, CPUSH,
143 +          MOVE16 (Ax)+,(Ay)+, and FPU stack frames), enough to boot MacOS
144 +        - UAE CPU: opcode routines no longer return the cycle count
145 +        - extfs.cpp: fixed bug with fsResolveWDCB in fs_get_wd_info()
146 +        - Unix: added support for ESD audio output; merged with OSS audio
147 +          and put in a new "audio_oss_esd.cpp" file which is also used under
148 +          FreeBSD 3.x
149 +        - Unix: added mkinstalldirs to "make install" target
150 +        - Unix: cleaned up the configure script
151 +        - Unix: ROM breakpoint can be specified with "-break" command line
152 +          argument
153 +        - Unix: "-rominfo" command line argument to print information
154 +          about ROM version and tables
155 +        - Unix: ExtFS supports resource forks and Finder info (these are
156 +          kept in hidden ".finf" and ".rsrc" directories)
157 +        - Unix/audio_oss_esd.cpp: AudioStatus is re-set after determining
158 +          audio device capabilities (actual sample rate is also determined)
159 +          [Alexander R. Pruss]
160 +        - Unix/audio_oss_esd.cpp: "silence" in 8-bit mode used wrong fill
161 +          value (0 instead of 0x80) [Alexander R. Pruss]
162 +        - Unix/video_x.cpp: added mouse wheel support [Alexander R. Pruss]
163 +        - Unix/sys_unix.cpp: device size is read correctly under Linux
164 +        - AmigaOS: removed support for SAS/C
165 +        - AmigaOS/sys_amiga.cpp: supports 64-bit device I/O (NSD)
166 +        - AmigaOS/sys_amiga.cpp: device block size is respected on writes
167 +
168   V0.8 (snapshot) - 21.Oct.1999
169          - sony.cpp/disk.cpp/cdrom.cpp: disk insertions are now checked for
170            by an interrupt routine
