File Contents

# Content
1 V1.0 (snapshot) - <date>
2 - fixed the problem with Ticks getting incremented on every interrupt, not
3 just 60Hz (e.g. moving the mouse made the caret blink faster)
4 - Unix: cleaned up pthread attributes [Brian Johnson]
5 - Unix: fixed floppy problems under Linux
6 - Unix: implement "ignoresegv" feature on Linux/x86, Linux/ppc, Darwin/ppc,
7 FreeBSD/x86
8
9 V1.0 (snapshot) - 15.Jan.2002
10 - added support for on-the-fly video resolution and depth switching, and
11 gamma tables
12 - fsave/frestore emulation under AmigaOS and NetBSD/m68k always behaves like
13 a 68882/68040 FPU, eliminating the need for 68060 FPU patches
14 - added support for platform-independant mutexes, used by adb.cpp for
15 thread-safe mouse handling
16 - the TIME_OFFSET constant has been replaced by a (portable) function
17 TimeToMacTime(); file dates in ExtFS should now be correct
18 - ADBInterrupt() is no longer called from the 60Hz interrupt but has its own
19 interrupt flag, potentially increasing the smoothness of mouse movement
20 - ether.cpp: implemented relatively platform-independant "AppleTalk over UDP"
21 mode that doesn't require any special kernel modules or network drivers but
22 can only interconnect instances of Basilisk II; this is enabled by setting
23 "udptunnel" to true
24 - Unix: windowed display mode supports different resolutions and color depths,
25 which can be switched on-the-fly
26 - Unix: Ctrl-F5 grabs mouse in windowed mode (enhanced compatibility with
27 games like flight simulators)
28 - Unix: X11 events are handled as soon as they arrive, outside of the 60Hz
29 video refresh raster
30 - Unix: audio sample rate, bit depth and channel count are adjustable in the
31 MacOS "Sound" control panel
32
33 V0.9 (release 0.9-1) - 31.May 2001
34 - final adjustments for 0.9 release
35
36 V0.9 (snapshot) - 29.May 2001
37 - added help for command line arguments, PrefsInit() now removes all processed
38 options
39 - serial_unix.cpp: input/output_thread_cancel weren't initialized
40 [Kolja Waschk]
41 - Unix: some performance improvements to VOSF screen update code
42 [Brian J. Johnson]
43 - Unix: renewed SIGSEGV support functions. Side effect: configure script
44 cleanups and probable Direct Addressing/VOSF support for other platforms
45 (NetBSD, AIX, OSF/1, Irix) [Gwenole Beauchesne]
46 - Unix: -Ofast option is supplied to MIPSPro compiler [Brian J. Johnson]
47 - Unix: workaround for IRIX pthreads bug in Delay_usec() [Brian J. Johnson]
48 - Unix: FreeBSD configure script cleanups [Michael Alyn Miller]
49 - Unix: ether_linux.cpp moved and renamed to ether_unix.cpp, now also works
50 with the tap driver under FreeBSD [Michael Alyn Miller]
51 - BeOS: fixed some bugs in the extfs file types handling
52 - AmigaOS: SCSI buffer type can be selected
53
54 V0.9 (snapshot) - 17.Feb.2001
55 - adapted for cxmon V3.0 which is now the required minimum
56 - UAE cpu: fixed a bug in the memory handlers preventing from correctly
57 updating 15 and 16 bpp displays on big endian systems
58 - Unix: added (experimental) real addressing mode [Gwenole Beauchesne]
59 (activated through the "--enable-addressing=real" configure option)
60 - Unix: added direct addressing mode [Gwenole Beauchesne] (default addressing
61 mode, if possible)
62 - Unix: added screen updates on SEGV signals [Gwenole Beauchesne] (activated
63 through the "--enable-vosf" configure option)
64 - Unix: added IRIX audio driver [Brian J. Johnson]
65 - Unix: improved timing of periodic threads
66 - Unix: command line options now use '--'-prefix, e.g. "--rominfo"
67 - AmigaOS: enabled floppy support, fixed floppy bugs [Jürgen Lachmann]
68 - AmigaOS: Amiga mouse pointer is hidden inside windowed Mac displays
69 - AmigaOS/sys_amiga.cpp: workaround for 2060scsi.device bug when when reading
70 from CD-ROM [Jürgen Lachmann]
71 - AmigaOS/prefs_editor_amiga.cpp: fixed bug when adding volumes
72 [Jürgen Lachmann]
73 - AmigaOS: added MacsBug support (tested with MacsBug6.6.1), fixed
74 <move sr,(sp)> bug [Jürgen Lachmann]
75 - AmigaOS: disabled 68060 Super Bypass mode because of CPU bug triggered by
76 MacOS 8

79 FInfo/FXInfo, replaced get/set_finder_*() functions by get/set_finfo()
80 - AmigaOS/Unix: it's possible to specify preferences items on the command line
81 - BeOS: implemented the "powerrom_cpu" CPU engine for BeOS/PPC that uses the
82 680x0 emulator contained in an Apple PowerMac ROM to run Basilisk II (ca.
83 4x speed improvement); when running on a BeBox, a PCI PowerMac ROM image is
84 needed to use this (the path name of the ROM file can be set with the
85 preferences item "powerrom", default is "PowerROM")
86 - include/macos_util.h: defines FOURCC() macro to make MacOS-like
87 four-character-codes, replaced most instances of multi-character constants
88 in the sources by this macro to avoid compiler warnings
89 - cdrom.cpp: implemented Status(6) call (return format list) [Landon Fuller]
90 - Imported some changes from the Windows port, most notably FPU fixes and the
91 1Hz interrupt [Lauri Pesonen]

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

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

479 virtual addressing mode, the Mac frame buffer layout now has to be specified
480 in MacFrameLayout (video.h)
481 - Unix/video_x.cpp: the "screen" prefs item is now read to select window mode
482 (with a specified window size) or DGA mode
483 - Unix/video_x.cpp: DGA mode supports 15, 16 and 32 bit modes (packed 24 bit
484 pixels don't work)
485 - Unix/Makefile.linux: added -D_REENTRANT to compiler flags
486
