1 V0.8 (snapshot) - 2.Nov.1999
2 - fixed many UAE FPU bugs [Lauri Pesonen]
3 - added replacement for BlockMove() trap
4 - removed Windows sources from the source archive; a version of
5 these that actually compiles and works can be downloaded from
6 Lauri Pesonen's site
7 - removed the MemoryDispatch() replacement routine; the routine
8 in the ROM is now always used; this fixes the MacOS 8 Finder
9 copying bug and also most "unimplemented trap" errors on MacOS
10 bootup; yeah :-)
11 - a warning is issued if the ROM seems to require an FPU but FPU
12 emulation is turned off
13 - medium removal is allowed in CDROMExit()
14 - added (incomplete) emulation of 68040 instructions (CINV, CPUSH,
15 MOVE16 (Ax)+,(Ay)+, and FPU stack frames), enough to boot MacOS
16 - UAE CPU: opcode routines no longer return the cycle count
17 - extfs.cpp: fixed bug with fsResolveWDCB in fs_get_wd_info()

22 - Unix: cleaned up the configure script
23 - Unix: ROM breakpoint can be specified with "-break" command line
24 argument

28 kept in hidden ".finf" and ".rsrc" directories)

30 audio device capabilities (actual sample rate is also determined)
31 [Alexander R. Pruss]
