# Line 1 | Line 1
1 < V0.7 (alpha)
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        - the TIME_OFFSET constant has been replaced by a (portable) function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 >

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

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

38 >          other platforms (NetBSD, AIX, OSF/1, Irix) [Gwenole Beauchesne]
39 >        - Unix: -Ofast option is supplied to MIPSPro compiler [Brian J. Johnson]

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

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,

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]
