# User Rev Content
1 cebix 1.49 V0.9 (snapshot) - 17.Feb.2001
2 cebix 1.42 - adapted for mon V3.0 which is now the required minimum
3 gbeauche 1.41 - UAE cpu: fixed a bug in the memory handlers preventing from
4     correctly updating 15 and 16 bpp displays on big endian systems
5     - Unix: added (experimental) real addressing mode [Gwenole Beauchesne]
6     (activated through the "--enable-addressing=real" configure option)
7     - Unix: added direct addressing mode [Gwenole Beauchesne]
8     (default addressing mode, if possible)
9     - Unix: added screen updates on SEGV signals [Gwenole Beauchesne]
10     (activated through the "--enable-vosf" configure option)
11 cebix 1.44 - Unix: added IRIX audio driver [Brian J. Johnson]
12     - Unix: improved timing of periodic threads
13 cebix 1.45 - Unix: command line options now use '--'-prefix, e.g. "--rominfo"
14 cebix 1.33 - AmigaOS: enabled floppy support, fixed floppy bugs [Jürgen Lachmann]
15 cebix 1.37 - AmigaOS: Amiga mouse pointer is hidden inside windowed Mac displays

17     when reading from CD-ROM [Jürgen Lachmann]

21     fixed <move sr,(sp)> bug [Jürgen Lachmann]
22 cebix 1.46 - AmigaOS: disabled 68060 Super Bypass mode because of CPU bug triggered
23     by MacOS 8
24     - AmigaOS: implemented XPRAM watchdog task

30     uses the 680x0 emulator contained in an Apple PowerMac ROM to run
31     Basilisk II (ca. 4x speed improvement); when running on a BeBox,
32     a PCI PowerMac ROM image is needed to use this (the path name of the
33     ROM file can be set with the preferences item "powerrom", default
34     is "PowerROM")

73     and Mac2Mac_memcpy
74     - extfs.cpp: fixed bug in fs_rename() and fs_cat_move() (auxiliary

364     - Added some literature references to the source files
365     - Modularized CPU engine: the interface of the CPU engine is now
366     defined in cpu_emulation.h, so different CPU engines can be
367     substituted more easily [as requested by Bill Huey]
368     - uae_cpu/gencpu.c: duplicate_carry() was missing in SUB and NBCD routines
369     - Unix: added autoconf stuff
370     - Unix: modified the makefile so it won't fail if cpuopti didn't work
371     [Daniel Thompson]
372    
373     V0.4 (alpha) - 11.Apr.1999
374     - cdrom.cpp: find_hfs_partition() bailed out too soon when finding no
375     "PN" signature [Lauri Pesonen]
376     - prefs.cpp: prefs file allows more whitespace between keyword and value
377     [Lauri Pesonen]
378     - prefs.cpp: remodeled to allow platform-specific prefs items (list of
379     keywords is kept in table)
380     - video.cpp/cscSetEntries: luminance mapping uses integer instead of
381     floating point math
382     - video_*.cpp: on most systems, the frame buffer is allocated with
383     two additional lines as some ROM versions seem to write behind
384     the frame buffer proper
385     - BeOS/Unix/sysdeps.h: defined X86_ASSEMBLY on i386/GCC systems
386     - BeOS/Unix/sysdeps.h: redefined get/put_mem() functions to take and
387     return an uae_u32 value, added some more x86 optimizations
388     - Unix/serial_unix.cpp/kSERDBaudRate: rates between 57600 and 65535
389     result in a rate of 57600 [Lauri Pesonen]
390    
391     V0.4 (alpha) - 10.Apr.1999
392     - upgraded to UAE 0.8.8 CPU, CPU is now built with "gencpu", UAE sources
393     moved to "uae" directory
394     - new preferences item "rom" to specify the path of the ROM file
395     - new preferences item "ether" for Ethernet driver
396     - new INTFLAG_ETHER interrupt flag
397     - main_*.cpp: added ChoiceAlert()
398     - main_*.cpp: disabled UAE FPU (as it is buggy)
399     - serial_*.cpp: device_name is now a "const char *"
400     - serial_*.cpp: implemented monitor (#define MONITOR 1 to activate)
401     - *.h: changed "#ifdef _XXX_H_" to "#ifdef XXX_H" as symbols starting
402     with an underscore are reserved
403     - rom_patches.cpp: icon data moved to sony/disk/cdrom.cpp
404     - rom_patches.cpp: removed unnecessary a0/a1 save/restore from drivers
405     - slot_rom.cpp: removed unnecessary a0/a1 save/restore from drivers
406     - serial_defs.h: added error codes
407     - AmigaOS: the Kickstart ROM is no longer used to redirect NIL pointer
408     accesses as this crashes some machines (especially 68040-based);
409     a scratch memory block is used instead
410     - AmigaOS/serial_amiga.cpp: implemented
411     - AmigaOS/ether_amiga.cpp: implemented
412     - AmigaOS/sys_amiga.cpp: SysAddSerialPrefs() now returns real defaults
413     - AmigaOS/main_amiga.cpp: when the memory for the Mac RAM and ROM
414     cannot be allocated, an error message is displayed (instead of crashing)
415     - AmigaOS/main_amiga.cpp: interrupts are disabled during execution
416     of an EMUL_OP routine
417     - AmigaOS/asm_support.asm: the CTRL-C handler checks for pending
418     AmigaDOS operations
419     - AmigaOS/asm_support.asm: the interrupt signal exception is rethrown
420     when the interrupt level in EmulatedSR gets lowered while interrupts
421     are pending
422     - BeOS: switched from project files to Be supplied makefile system
423     - BeOS/ether_beos.cpp: implemented
424     - BeOS/serial_beos.cpp: modem status of parallel device is returned
425     as (dsrEvent | dcdEvent | ctsEvent)
426     - BeOS/serial_beos.cpp: implemented kSERDBaudRate
427     - BeOS/serial_beos.cpp: serdtDCE is set in PrimeIn()/PrimeOut()
428     - Unix/serial_unix.cpp: added support for parallel ports
429     - Unix/serial_unix.cpp: serdtDCE is set in PrimeIn()/PrimeOut()
430     - Unix/video_x.cpp: pressing F12 and q will quit Basilisk II in DGA mode
431     (useful when it crashed)
432    
433     V0.3 (alpha) - 14.Mar.1999
434     - Unix/video_x.cpp: added 15, 16 and 32 bit window modes [Bill Huey]
435     - BeOS/video_beos.cpp: "screen" prefs item is now either
436     "win/<width>/<height>" for window mode or "scr" for full-screen
437     mode
438     - added documentation of preferences file format to README
439    
440     V0.2 (alpha) - 11.Mar.1999
441     - tested with ROM versions 19 and 26
442     - prefs.cpp: renamed TYPE_BOOL to TYPE_BOOLEAN beacuse of name clash on
443     BeOS R4.1
444     - uae_memory.cpp: added support for frame buffer pixel type conversion
445     in virtual addressing mode, the Mac frame buffer layout now has to be
446     specified in MacFrameLayout (video.h)
447     - Unix/video_x.cpp: the "screen" prefs item is now read to select
448     window mode (with a specified window size) or DGA mode
449     - Unix/video_x.cpp: DGA mode supports 15, 16 and 32 bit modes (packed
450     24 bit pixels don't work)
451     - Unix/Makefile.linux: added -D_REENTRANT to compiler flags
452    
453     V0.2 (alpha) - 23.Jan.1999
454     - first alpha release
