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8 +        - the TIME_OFFSET constant has been replaced by a (portable) function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