# Content
1 V0.8 (release 0.8-1) - 30.Jan.2000
2 - extfs: extended size of finf helper files to 32 bytes to eventually
3 allow storing the complete FInfo/FXInfo in it
4
5 V0.8 (snapshot) - 22.Dec.1999
6 - imported UAE CPU 0.8.10 changes
7 - new utility functions Mac_memset, Mac2Host_memcpy, Host2Mac_memcpu
8 and Mac2Mac_memcpy
9 - extfs.cpp: fixed bug in fs_rename() and fs_cat_move() (auxiliary
10 IOParam block was not in Mac address space and FSItem parent IDs
11 didn't get swapped) [Lauri Pesonen]
12 - extfs.cpp: several fixes [Lauri Pesonen]
13 - some provisions for using UAE CPU compiler (doesn't work yet)
14 - video_x.cpp: XFree86 VidMode extension is used to switch modes
15 in DGA mode
16
17 V0.8 (snapshot) - 2.Nov.1999
18 - fixed many UAE FPU bugs [Lauri Pesonen]
19 - added replacement for BlockMove() trap
20 - removed Windows sources from the source archive; a version of
21 these that actually compiles and works can be downloaded from
22 Lauri Pesonen's site
23 - removed the MemoryDispatch() replacement routine; the routine
24 in the ROM is now always used; this fixes the MacOS 8 Finder
25 copying bug and also most "unimplemented trap" errors on MacOS
26 bootup; yeah :-)
27 - a warning is issued if the ROM seems to require an FPU but FPU
28 emulation is turned off
29 - medium removal is allowed in CDROMExit()
30 - added (incomplete) emulation of 68040 instructions (CINV, CPUSH,
31 MOVE16 (Ax)+,(Ay)+, and FPU stack frames), enough to boot MacOS
32 - UAE CPU: opcode routines no longer return the cycle count
33 - extfs.cpp: fixed bug with fsResolveWDCB in fs_get_wd_info()
34 - Unix: added support for ESD audio output; merged with OSS audio

38 - Unix: cleaned up the configure script
39 - Unix: ROM breakpoint can be specified with "-break" command line
40 argument
41 - Unix: "-rominfo" command line argument to print information
42 about ROM version and tables
43 - Unix: ExtFS supports resource forks and Finder info (these are
44 kept in hidden ".finf" and ".rsrc" directories)

46 audio device capabilities (actual sample rate is also determined)
47 [Alexander R. Pruss]
48 - Unix/audio_oss_esd.cpp: "silence" in 8-bit mode used wrong fill
49 value (0 instead of 0x80) [Alexander R. Pruss]

58 by an interrupt routine
59 - localizable strings are now split into a common and a platform-
60 specific set
61 - added external file system to access host OS files from the MacOS;
62 root directory is specified by the "extfs" prefs item
