# Content
1 V1.0 (snapshot) - 15.Jan.2002
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8 - the TIME_OFFSET constant has been replaced by a (portable) function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)

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

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]

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]

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

421 - cdrom.cpp: find_hfs_partition() bailed out too soon when finding no
422 "PN" signature [Lauri Pesonen]
423 - prefs.cpp: prefs file allows more whitespace between keyword and value
424 [Lauri Pesonen]
425 - prefs.cpp: remodeled to allow platform-specific prefs items (list of
426 keywords is kept in table)
427 - video.cpp/cscSetEntries: luminance mapping uses integer instead of
428 floating point math
429 - video_*.cpp: on most systems, the frame buffer is allocated with
430 two additional lines as some ROM versions seem to write behind
431 the frame buffer proper
432 - BeOS/Unix/sysdeps.h: defined X86_ASSEMBLY on i386/GCC systems
433 - BeOS/Unix/sysdeps.h: redefined get/put_mem() functions to take and
434 return an uae_u32 value, added some more x86 optimizations
435 - Unix/serial_unix.cpp/kSERDBaudRate: rates between 57600 and 65535
436 result in a rate of 57600 [Lauri Pesonen]
437
438 V0.4 (alpha) - 10.Apr.1999
439 - upgraded to UAE 0.8.8 CPU, CPU is now built with "gencpu", UAE sources
440 moved to "uae" directory
441 - new preferences item "rom" to specify the path of the ROM file
442 - new preferences item "ether" for Ethernet driver
443 - new INTFLAG_ETHER interrupt flag
444 - main_*.cpp: added ChoiceAlert()
445 - main_*.cpp: disabled UAE FPU (as it is buggy)
446 - serial_*.cpp: device_name is now a "const char *"
447 - serial_*.cpp: implemented monitor (#define MONITOR 1 to activate)
448 - *.h: changed "#ifdef _XXX_H_" to "#ifdef XXX_H" as symbols starting
449 with an underscore are reserved
450 - rom_patches.cpp: icon data moved to sony/disk/cdrom.cpp
451 - rom_patches.cpp: removed unnecessary a0/a1 save/restore from drivers
452 - slot_rom.cpp: removed unnecessary a0/a1 save/restore from drivers
453 - serial_defs.h: added error codes
454 - AmigaOS: the Kickstart ROM is no longer used to redirect NIL pointer
455 accesses as this crashes some machines (especially 68040-based);
456 a scratch memory block is used instead
457 - AmigaOS/serial_amiga.cpp: implemented
458 - AmigaOS/ether_amiga.cpp: implemented
459 - AmigaOS/sys_amiga.cpp: SysAddSerialPrefs() now returns real defaults
460 - AmigaOS/main_amiga.cpp: when the memory for the Mac RAM and ROM
461 cannot be allocated, an error message is displayed (instead of crashing)
462 - AmigaOS/main_amiga.cpp: interrupts are disabled during execution
463 of an EMUL_OP routine
464 - AmigaOS/asm_support.asm: the CTRL-C handler checks for pending
465 AmigaDOS operations
466 - AmigaOS/asm_support.asm: the interrupt signal exception is rethrown
467 when the interrupt level in EmulatedSR gets lowered while interrupts
468 are pending
469 - BeOS: switched from project files to Be supplied makefile system
470 - BeOS/ether_beos.cpp: implemented
471 - BeOS/serial_beos.cpp: modem status of parallel device is returned
472 as (dsrEvent | dcdEvent | ctsEvent)
473 - BeOS/serial_beos.cpp: implemented kSERDBaudRate
474 - BeOS/serial_beos.cpp: serdtDCE is set in PrimeIn()/PrimeOut()
475 - Unix/serial_unix.cpp: added support for parallel ports
476 - Unix/serial_unix.cpp: serdtDCE is set in PrimeIn()/PrimeOut()
477 - Unix/video_x.cpp: pressing F12 and q will quit Basilisk II in DGA mode
478 (useful when it crashed)
479
480 V0.3 (alpha) - 14.Mar.1999
481 - Unix/video_x.cpp: added 15, 16 and 32 bit window modes [Bill Huey]
482 - BeOS/video_beos.cpp: "screen" prefs item is now either
483 "win/<width>/<height>" for window mode or "scr" for full-screen
484 mode
485 - added documentation of preferences file format to README
486
487 V0.2 (alpha) - 11.Mar.1999
488 - tested with ROM versions 19 and 26
489 - prefs.cpp: renamed TYPE_BOOL to TYPE_BOOLEAN beacuse of name clash on
490 BeOS R4.1

492 in virtual addressing mode, the Mac frame buffer layout now has to be
493 specified in MacFrameLayout (video.h)
494 - Unix/video_x.cpp: the "screen" prefs item is now read to select
495 window mode (with a specified window size) or DGA mode
496 - Unix/video_x.cpp: DGA mode supports 15, 16 and 32 bit modes (packed
497 24 bit pixels don't work)
498 - Unix/Makefile.linux: added -D_REENTRANT to compiler flags
