2 - added support for on-the-fly video resolution and depth switching
3 - fsave/frestore emulation under AmigaOS and NetBSD/m68k always behaves
4 like a 68882/68040 FPU, eliminating the need for 68060 FPU patches
5
6 V0.9 (release 0.9-1) - 31.May 2001
7 - final adjustments for 0.9 release
8
9 V0.9 (snapshot) - 29.May 2001

13 [Kolja Waschk]
14 - Unix: some performance improvements to VOSF screen update code
15 [Brian J. Johnson]
16 - Unix: renewed SIGSEGV support functions. Side effect: configure
17 script cleanups and probable Direct Addressing/VOSF support for
18 other platforms (NetBSD, AIX, OSF/1, Irix) [Gwenole Beauchesne]
19 - Unix: -Ofast option is supplied to MIPSPro compiler [Brian J. Johnson]
20 - Unix: workaround for IRIX pthreads bug in Delay_usec()
21 [Brian J. Johnson]

27
28 V0.9 (snapshot) - 17.Feb.2001

56 - BeOS: implemented the "powerrom_cpu" CPU engine for BeOS/PPC that
57 uses the 680x0 emulator contained in an Apple PowerMac ROM to run
58 Basilisk II (ca. 4x speed improvement); when running on a BeBox,
59 a PCI PowerMac ROM image is needed to use this (the path name of the
60 ROM file can be set with the preferences item "powerrom", default
61 is "PowerROM")

78 ("Dynamic") selects new method, other values select old method
79 - Unix/prefs_editor_unix.cpp: new "Input" pane, containing keycode
80 and mouse wheel options
81 - AmigaOS: added support for CyberGraphX [Jürgen Lachmann]

104 - extfs.cpp: several fixes [Lauri Pesonen]
105 - some provisions for using UAE CPU compiler (doesn't work yet)
106 - video_x.cpp: XFree86 VidMode extension is used to switch modes
107 in DGA mode
108

422 - new preferences item "ether" for Ethernet driver
423 - new INTFLAG_ETHER interrupt flag
424 - main_*.cpp: added ChoiceAlert()
425 - main_*.cpp: disabled UAE FPU (as it is buggy)
426 - serial_*.cpp: device_name is now a "const char *"
427 - serial_*.cpp: implemented monitor (#define MONITOR 1 to activate)
428 - *.h: changed "#ifdef _XXX_H_" to "#ifdef XXX_H" as symbols starting
429 with an underscore are reserved

434 - AmigaOS: the Kickstart ROM is no longer used to redirect NIL pointer
435 accesses as this crashes some machines (especially 68040-based);
436 a scratch memory block is used instead
437 - AmigaOS/serial_amiga.cpp: implemented
438 - AmigaOS/ether_amiga.cpp: implemented
439 - AmigaOS/sys_amiga.cpp: SysAddSerialPrefs() now returns real defaults
440 - AmigaOS/main_amiga.cpp: when the memory for the Mac RAM and ROM
441 cannot be allocated, an error message is displayed (instead of crashing)
442 - AmigaOS/main_amiga.cpp: interrupts are disabled during execution
443 of an EMUL_OP routine

447 when the interrupt level in EmulatedSR gets lowered while interrupts
448 are pending
449 - BeOS: switched from project files to Be supplied makefile system
450 - BeOS/ether_beos.cpp: implemented
451 - BeOS/serial_beos.cpp: modem status of parallel device is returned
452 as (dsrEvent | dcdEvent | ctsEvent)
453 - BeOS/serial_beos.cpp: implemented kSERDBaudRate
454 - BeOS/serial_beos.cpp: serdtDCE is set in PrimeIn()/PrimeOut()
455 - Unix/serial_unix.cpp: added support for parallel ports
456 - Unix/serial_unix.cpp: serdtDCE is set in PrimeIn()/PrimeOut()
457 - Unix/video_x.cpp: pressing F12 and q will quit Basilisk II in DGA mode
458 (useful when it crashed)

460 V0.3 (alpha) - 14.Mar.1999
461 - Unix/video_x.cpp: added 15, 16 and 32 bit window modes [Bill Huey]
462 - BeOS/video_beos.cpp: "screen" prefs item is now either
463 "win/<width>/<height>" for window mode or "scr" for full-screen
464 mode
465 - added documentation of preferences file format to README
466
467 V0.2 (alpha) - 11.Mar.1999
468 - tested with ROM versions 19 and 26

472 in virtual addressing mode, the Mac frame buffer layout now has to be
473 specified in MacFrameLayout (video.h)
474 - Unix/video_x.cpp: the "screen" prefs item is now read to select
475 window mode (with a specified window size) or DGA mode
476 - Unix/video_x.cpp: DGA mode supports 15, 16 and 32 bit modes (packed
477 24 bit pixels don't work)
478 - Unix/Makefile.linux: added -D_REENTRANT to compiler flags
