* R: can now be hooked to a real serial port (no runtime config yet)
* various ANTIC and POKEY fixes for perfect software compatibility
* disk and cartridge info saved in the state files
* casette handling greatly improved
* even more cartridges supported (40 now!)
* some rare buffer overflows fixed
Highlights since last 1.2.5 release:
------------------------------------
* new HiFi sound (you may en/disable it in the UI)
* new cycle-exact Antic emulation
* "H:" emulation complete (including subfolders)
* Paged memory implementation (fast XE bank-switching)
* new configuration file name and location ($HOME/.atari800.cfg)
Summary of changes since 1.2.4 (from ChangeLog):
* DOC/cart.txt: fixed a few typos
* ui.c:
- applied patch from Ed Cogburn that fixes subsequent mounting
of R/W disks in slot that was mounted R/O previously.
- finally implemented the R/W <-> R/O mode switching using the Space Bar.
Please note that this R/W <-> R/O switch is just temporary and does
not change the writeprotect flag of ATR images. Besides, it cannot
override this flag so you actually can't mount a writeprotected ATR
image read/write using this Space Bar toggle.
* atari.c: Ken Ames sent me a very simple patch that is supposed to allow
compiling the Atari800 on OS/2 "using Hob X11, XFree86, or IBM's X11
server".
* cartridge.[ch], ui.c, DOC/cart.txt: five new cartridge types (Nir Dary)
* cartridge.[ch], ui.c, DOC/cart.txt, DOC/README: seven new cartridge types
* pokeysnd.c: a fix for better quality of sound
* antic.c: ANTIC mode E + GTIA mode 9 ("Unconventional 2k", "Ass Kisiel")
* DOC/BUGS: "Numen" soundtrack
* cartridge.[ch], ui.c, DOC/cart.txt: 1 MB XEGS cart
* input.c: Amiga/ST mouse right button ("Bombdown")
* input.h, input.c, pia.c: MultiJoy4 interface (4 joysticks for XL/XE)
