- New disassembler
- 3DNow!/SSE/SSE2/PNI instruction support
- Vmware3/Sparse/Undoable/Growing harddisk images support
- many VGA emulation improvements (e.g. high/true color VBE modes added)
- No more X11 vga font required
A very brief summary of changes:
- 2x emulation speedup!!!
- added plugin devices and guis. Now you can compile with many more
options, and choose between them at runtime.
- added emulation of AMD x86-64, MMX, SSE, SSE2 instructions.
- add wxWindows port (a graphical configuration interface and display lib)
and SVGAlib port (full screen display for Linux without X11).
- improvements in many I/O devices: for example up to 8 hard disks/cdroms,
TUN/TAP network interface, 360k floppies.
- improved MacOSX/Carbon interface and updated MacOS9port.
- GDB remote stub, allows symbolic debugging with Bochs simulation.
- support for up to 32gig hard disk images.
of the more visible ones.
- ROM BIOS
- Christophe Bothamy added ability to boot from El Torito CDROM.
- VGA
- vga memory read/write functions in text mode fixed
- implementation of CGA mode 320*200*4 (patch from Sebastien Bechet)
- GUI changes
- cdrom button: click this to notify Bochs when you changed the CDROM (Volker)
- snapshot button: saves the text on the Bochs screen into a file called
snapshot.txt (Volker)
- copy button: on Win32 and X windows, copy the text on the Bochs screen
to the clipboard (Volker)
- paste button: on Win32 and X windows, paste the characters on the
clipboard into the Bochs window. This requires keyboard_mapping to
be enabled. (Bryce Denney)
- keyboard
- added an optional keyboard_mapping option that enables to use your
country specific keyboard with Bochs. If enabled, the keymap file must be
specified in bochsrc. The available keymaps are US, German, Spanish and
French for PCs running X11. Contributions are welcomed. (Christophe
Bothamy)
- added Windows(tm) key definitions (Volker Ruppert)
- added paste button, which causes the emulated keyboard to type characters
from the system clipboard. This only works when keyboard_mapping is
enabled. (Bryce Denney)
stable than, version 1.1.2. Extensive changes include a new text-based
configuration menu (which starts at launch and upon pressing the config
button), LBA support for hard disks, better error handling for "hard
disk" configuration errors, and a new VGABIOS (optional). Plus, bochs
can now simulate an SMP machine! [The last is not tested on NetBSD,
and is not enabled by default in the package.]
