Changes since version 0.22:
- Moved over some features from WinUAE:
* better m68k exception handling
* better m68k prefetch emulation
* better debugger
- More merging with WinUAE; a lot of the input device code has changed
- GUI cleaned up.
- Quest to eliminate useless options continues: 68000 mode is always "slow
but compatible"; it's not that slow after all.
- Now uses GTK2 for the GUI.
- Added ALSA sound support from Heikki Orsila
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
Changes since 0.8.19:
9B1230 lockscr/unlockscr fixes in drawing.c.
Add sdlgfx from Bernd [4] Lachner.
Filesystem asm code improvements from Toni (make it pic, call
setup_exter earlier in the boot sequence, etc.)
Also add Toni's patch to make rtarea position configurable (keep it
at 0xF00000 for now, though).
Avoid installing filesystem stuff if user didn't request to mount
directories.
BEAMCON0 is only available with ECS Agnus.
Revert some bogus parts of the write_log patch.
9B1219 Add some missing clipping to the Picasso code.
Limit number of illegal-mem warnings.
9B1217 Fix the GUI crash when changing floppies.
Changes to support programs that change between HAM/no HAM in the
middle of a line.
Some bug fixes, and a big fprintf->write_log patch from Alex Kazik.
User-visible changes in 0.8.17:
- AGA should be a bit faster.
- AGA sprites emulation added by Toni Wilen.
- Numerous bug fixes.
- In the Unix version, the gtk UI has a lot more options available.
There's a new option "Enable copper speedup code"; I'd be interested in
hearing whether there's any software out there that does not work (or
runs slower) if this option is enabled.
- Now supports image files of high density floppies (Dr. Adil Temel).
- Support for A1000 Kickstart disks (Gerald Schnabel).
- The option to disable autoconfig devices no longer exists; the emulator
automatically recognizes if the Kickstart version is too old.
- Numerous improvements for the integrated debugger.
- State save/restore implemented by Toni Wilen. At the moment, this is
experimental, "use at your own risk" code. It is not guaranteed that
future versions of the emulator will be able to read snapshots saved by
this version. Test it and report bugs.
User-visible changes in 0.8.16:
- AGA playfield support (again) (Toni Wilen)
- In addition to plain mono and stereo, there's a new sound setting "mixed".
- There's a new option to set CPU speeds more accurately, it's called
"finegrain_cpu_speed".
- Numerous bug fixes
- Graphics should be faster; optimized code was accidentally commented out
in the previous release.
User-visible changes in 0.8.15:
- A few changes in the core of the custom chip emulation; this should mean
more accuracy in general, but likely also a few new bugs in this version.
It may be a little slower as well.
- "68040" emulation. Dedicated to all the clueless folks out there.
(with thanks to Christian Bauer)
User-visible changes in 0.8.14:
- More bug fixes:
* CPU emulation problem that could have caused copy protection schemes to
malfunction has been fixed.
* Some AGA problems fixed (one of them visible in ECS modes).
* UAE should work again on non-x86 systems.
- By default the emulator will try to approximate an A500 in CPU speed.
This setting existed before, but it's a bit more accurate now and on by
default.
- There is a new option to control the number of emulated disk drives.
- Software autofire for the keyboard joystick replacements
