426    
427     V0.4 (alpha) - 10.Apr.1999

440     - rom_patches.cpp: removed unnecessary a0/a1 save/restore from drivers
441     - slot_rom.cpp: removed unnecessary a0/a1 save/restore from drivers
442     - serial_defs.h: added error codes
443     - AmigaOS: the Kickstart ROM is no longer used to redirect NIL pointer
444     accesses as this crashes some machines (especially 68040-based);
445     a scratch memory block is used instead
446     - AmigaOS/serial_amiga.cpp: implemented
447     - AmigaOS/ether_amiga.cpp: implemented

484     window mode (with a specified window size) or DGA mode
485     - Unix/video_x.cpp: DGA mode supports 15, 16 and 32 bit modes (packed
486     24 bit pixels don't work)
