File Contents

# User Rev Content
1 cebix 1.79 V1.0 (snapshot) - <date>
2 gbeauche 1.92 - fixed support for volumes larger than 4 GB
3 cebix 1.79 - fixed the problem with Ticks getting incremented on every interrupt, not
4     just 60Hz (e.g. moving the mouse made the caret blink faster)
5 gbeauche 1.93 - backport "idlewait" feature from SheepShaver
6 gbeauche 1.92 - JIT: integrated dynamic translator for Linux/x86 and FreeBSD/x86
7     - JIT: ported backend to support Linux/x86_64 (AMD64 and EM64T platforms)
8     - JIT: fixed translation through constant jumps ("jitinline" config option)
9     - JIT: improve detection of newer CPUs based on the P4 core but
10     fallback to a safe default, if necessary
11 gbeauche 1.86 - Unix: moved minimum autoconf support to 2.52+
12     - Unix: add large file support for 2+ GB hard disk images
13 cebix 1.80 - Unix: cleaned up pthread attributes [Brian Johnson]
14 cebix 1.81 - Unix: fixed floppy problems under Linux
15 cebix 1.87 - Unix: implemented "ignoresegv" feature on Linux/x86, Linux/ppc, Darwin/ppc
16 cebix 1.85 - Unix: serial port baud rates are now set correctly
17     - Unix: it is now possible to make the serial drivers pipe their input/output
18     to programs by using a '|' followed by a command line as the modem or
19     printer port setting (instead of a device name like '/dev/ttyS0')
20     [Brian Johnson]
21     - Unix: the option "--config FILE" tells B2 to use a different config file
22 cebix 1.87 - Unix: new prefs options "dsp" and "mixer" to set the OSS device names
23     instead of the hardcoded '/dev/dsp' and '/dev/mixer'
24 gbeauche 1.89 - Unix: new ether prefs option 'tun' to use a TUN/TAP interface. The
25     configure script used can be overriden with "etherconfig"

36 cebix 1.79
37 cebix 1.78 V1.0 (snapshot) - 15.Jan.2002
38 cebix 1.79 - added support for on-the-fly video resolution and depth switching, and
39     gamma tables
40     - fsave/frestore emulation under AmigaOS and NetBSD/m68k always behaves like
41     a 68882/68040 FPU, eliminating the need for 68060 FPU patches
42     - added support for platform-independant mutexes, used by adb.cpp for
43     thread-safe mouse handling
44     - the TIME_OFFSET constant has been replaced by a (portable) function
45     TimeToMacTime(); file dates in ExtFS should now be correct
46     - ADBInterrupt() is no longer called from the 60Hz interrupt but has its own
47     interrupt flag, potentially increasing the smoothness of mouse movement
48     - ether.cpp: implemented relatively platform-independant "AppleTalk over UDP"
49     mode that doesn't require any special kernel modules or network drivers but
50     can only interconnect instances of Basilisk II; this is enabled by setting
51     "udptunnel" to true
52     - Unix: windowed display mode supports different resolutions and color depths,
53     which can be switched on-the-fly
54     - Unix: Ctrl-F5 grabs mouse in windowed mode (enhanced compatibility with
55     games like flight simulators)
56     - Unix: X11 events are handled as soon as they arrive, outside of the 60Hz
57     video refresh raster
58     - Unix: audio sample rate, bit depth and channel count are adjustable in the
59     MacOS "Sound" control panel

108     - AmigaOS/Unix: it's possible to specify preferences items on the command line
109     - BeOS: implemented the "powerrom_cpu" CPU engine for BeOS/PPC that uses the
110     680x0 emulator contained in an Apple PowerMac ROM to run Basilisk II (ca.
111     4x speed improvement); when running on a BeBox, a PCI PowerMac ROM image is
112     needed to use this (the path name of the ROM file can be set with the
113     preferences item "powerrom", default is "PowerROM")
114     - include/macos_util.h: defines FOURCC() macro to make MacOS-like
115     four-character-codes, replaced most instances of multi-character constants
116     in the sources by this macro to avoid compiler warnings

130     wheel options

134     read back correctly
135     - clip_*.cpp: added prefs item "noclipconversion" for turning off charset

166     turned off
167     - medium removal is allowed in CDROMExit()
168     - added (incomplete) emulation of 68040 instructions (CINV, CPUSH,

182     device capabilities (actual sample rate is also determined)
183     [Alexander R. Pruss]
