Log Message:
- it is now possible to make the serial drivers pipe their input/output
  to programs by using a '|' followed by a command line as the modem or
  printer port setting (instead of a device name like '/dev/ttyS0')
  [Brian Johnson]
- the option "--config FILE" tells B2 to use a different config file

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 - Unix: serial port baud rates are now set correctly
8 - Unix: it is now possible to make the serial drivers pipe their input/output
9 to programs by using a '|' followed by a command line as the modem or
10 printer port setting (instead of a device name like '/dev/ttyS0')
11 [Brian Johnson]
12 - Unix: the option "--config FILE" tells B2 to use a different config file
13
14 V1.0 (snapshot) - 15.Jan.2002
15 - added support for on-the-fly video resolution and depth switching, and
16 gamma tables
17 - fsave/frestore emulation under AmigaOS and NetBSD/m68k always behaves like
18 a 68882/68040 FPU, eliminating the need for 68060 FPU patches
19 - added support for platform-independant mutexes, used by adb.cpp for
20 thread-safe mouse handling
21 - the TIME_OFFSET constant has been replaced by a (portable) function
22 TimeToMacTime(); file dates in ExtFS should now be correct
23 - ADBInterrupt() is no longer called from the 60Hz interrupt but has its own
24 interrupt flag, potentially increasing the smoothness of mouse movement
25 - ether.cpp: implemented relatively platform-independant "AppleTalk over UDP"
26 mode that doesn't require any special kernel modules or network drivers but
27 can only interconnect instances of Basilisk II; this is enabled by setting
28 "udptunnel" to true
29 - Unix: windowed display mode supports different resolutions and color depths,
30 which can be switched on-the-fly
31 - Unix: Ctrl-F5 grabs mouse in windowed mode (enhanced compatibility with
32 games like flight simulators)
33 - Unix: X11 events are handled as soon as they arrive, outside of the 60Hz
34 video refresh raster
35 - Unix: audio sample rate, bit depth and channel count are adjustable in the
36 MacOS "Sound" control panel
37
38 V0.9 (release 0.9-1) - 31.May 2001
39 - final adjustments for 0.9 release
40
41 V0.9 (snapshot) - 29.May 2001
42 - added help for command line arguments, PrefsInit() now removes all processed
43 options
44 - serial_unix.cpp: input/output_thread_cancel weren't initialized
45 [Kolja Waschk]
46 - Unix: some performance improvements to VOSF screen update code
47 [Brian J. Johnson]
48 - Unix: renewed SIGSEGV support functions. Side effect: configure script
49 cleanups and probable Direct Addressing/VOSF support for other platforms
50 (NetBSD, AIX, OSF/1, Irix) [Gwenole Beauchesne]
51 - Unix: -Ofast option is supplied to MIPSPro compiler [Brian J. Johnson]
52 - Unix: workaround for IRIX pthreads bug in Delay_usec() [Brian J. Johnson]

57 - AmigaOS: SCSI buffer type can be selected
58
59 V0.9 (snapshot) - 17.Feb.2001

75 from CD-ROM [Jürgen Lachmann]
76 - AmigaOS/prefs_editor_amiga.cpp: fixed bug when adding volumes
77 [Jürgen Lachmann]
78 - AmigaOS: added MacsBug support (tested with MacsBug6.6.1), fixed

88 4x speed improvement); when running on a BeBox, a PCI PowerMac ROM image is
89 needed to use this (the path name of the ROM file can be set with the
90 preferences item "powerrom", default is "PowerROM")
91 - include/macos_util.h: defines FOURCC() macro to make MacOS-like
92 four-character-codes, replaced most instances of multi-character constants
93 in the sources by this macro to avoid compiler warnings

406 - Modularized CPU engine: the interface of the CPU engine is now defined in
407 cpu_emulation.h, so different CPU engines can be substituted more easily
408 [as requested by Bill Huey]
409 - uae_cpu/gencpu.c: duplicate_carry() was missing in SUB and NBCD routines
410 - Unix: added autoconf stuff
411 - Unix: modified the makefile so it won't fail if cpuopti didn't work
412 [Daniel Thompson]
413
414 V0.4 (alpha) - 11.Apr.1999
415 - cdrom.cpp: find_hfs_partition() bailed out too soon when finding no "PN"
416 signature [Lauri Pesonen]
417 - prefs.cpp: prefs file allows more whitespace between keyword and value
418 [Lauri Pesonen]
419 - prefs.cpp: remodeled to allow platform-specific prefs items (list of
420 keywords is kept in table)
421 - video.cpp/cscSetEntries: luminance mapping uses integer instead of floating
422 point math
423 - video_*.cpp: on most systems, the frame buffer is allocated with two
424 additional lines as some ROM versions seem to write behind the frame buffer
425 proper
426 - BeOS/Unix/sysdeps.h: defined X86_ASSEMBLY on i386/GCC systems
427 - BeOS/Unix/sysdeps.h: redefined get/put_mem() functions to take and return
428 an uae_u32 value, added some more x86 optimizations
429 - Unix/serial_unix.cpp/kSERDBaudRate: rates between 57600 and 65535 result in
430 a rate of 57600 [Lauri Pesonen]
431
432 V0.4 (alpha) - 10.Apr.1999
433 - upgraded to UAE 0.8.8 CPU, CPU is now built with "gencpu", UAE sources moved
434 to "uae" directory
435 - new preferences item "rom" to specify the path of the ROM file
436 - new preferences item "ether" for Ethernet driver
437 - new INTFLAG_ETHER interrupt flag
438 - main_*.cpp: added ChoiceAlert()
439 - main_*.cpp: disabled UAE FPU (as it is buggy)
440 - serial_*.cpp: device_name is now a "const char *"
441 - serial_*.cpp: implemented monitor (#define MONITOR 1 to activate)
442 - *.h: changed "#ifdef _XXX_H_" to "#ifdef XXX_H" as symbols starting with an
443 underscore are reserved
444 - rom_patches.cpp: icon data moved to sony/disk/cdrom.cpp
445 - rom_patches.cpp: removed unnecessary a0/a1 save/restore from drivers
446 - slot_rom.cpp: removed unnecessary a0/a1 save/restore from drivers
447 - serial_defs.h: added error codes
448 - AmigaOS: the Kickstart ROM is no longer used to redirect NIL pointer
449 accesses as this crashes some machines (especially 68040-based); a scratch
450 memory block is used instead
451 - AmigaOS/serial_amiga.cpp: implemented
452 - AmigaOS/ether_amiga.cpp: implemented
453 - AmigaOS/sys_amiga.cpp: SysAddSerialPrefs() now returns real defaults
454 - AmigaOS/main_amiga.cpp: when the memory for the Mac RAM and ROM cannot be
455 allocated, an error message is displayed (instead of crashing)
456 - AmigaOS/main_amiga.cpp: interrupts are disabled during execution of an
457 EMUL_OP routine
458 - AmigaOS/asm_support.asm: the CTRL-C handler checks for pending AmigaDOS
459 operations
460 - AmigaOS/asm_support.asm: the interrupt signal exception is rethrown when the
461 interrupt level in EmulatedSR gets lowered while interrupts are pending
462 - BeOS: switched from project files to Be supplied makefile system
463 - BeOS/ether_beos.cpp: implemented
464 - BeOS/serial_beos.cpp: modem status of parallel device is returned as
465 (dsrEvent | dcdEvent | ctsEvent)
466 - BeOS/serial_beos.cpp: implemented kSERDBaudRate
467 - BeOS/serial_beos.cpp: serdtDCE is set in PrimeIn()/PrimeOut()
468 - Unix/serial_unix.cpp: added support for parallel ports
469 - Unix/serial_unix.cpp: serdtDCE is set in PrimeIn()/PrimeOut()
470 - Unix/video_x.cpp: pressing F12 and q will quit Basilisk II in DGA mode
471 (useful when it crashed)
472
473 V0.3 (alpha) - 14.Mar.1999
474 - Unix/video_x.cpp: added 15, 16 and 32 bit window modes [Bill Huey]
475 - BeOS/video_beos.cpp: "screen" prefs item is now either "win/<width>/<height>"
476 for window mode or "scr" for full-screen mode
477 - added documentation of preferences file format to README
478
479 V0.2 (alpha) - 11.Mar.1999
480 - tested with ROM versions 19 and 26
481 - prefs.cpp: renamed TYPE_BOOL to TYPE_BOOLEAN beacuse of name clash on BeOS
482 R4.1

484 virtual addressing mode, the Mac frame buffer layout now has to be specified
485 in MacFrameLayout (video.h)
486 - Unix/video_x.cpp: the "screen" prefs item is now read to select window mode
487 (with a specified window size) or DGA mode
488 - Unix/video_x.cpp: DGA mode supports 15, 16 and 32 bit modes (packed 24 bit
489 pixels don't work)
490 - Unix/Makefile.linux: added -D_REENTRANT to compiler flags
491
492 V0.2 (alpha) - 23.Jan.1999
