fdc: force the fifo access to be in bounds of the allocated buffer
During processing of certain commands such as FD_CMD_READ_ID and
FD_CMD_DRIVE_SPECIFICATION_COMMAND the fifo memory access could
get out of bounds leading to memory corruption with values coming
from the guest.
Fix this by making sure that the index is always bounded by the
allocated memory.
XXX pull-up where applicable
to NetBSD 6.1)
introduce compat61 (and compat61-x11 with it) as a backward compatibility
package to NetBSD 7
add compat61* to mk/emulator/netbsd-compat.mk and emulators/Makefile
some sort of version for the binary compat packages might have been
useful, maybe abusing the DIST_SUBDIR? compat61 is likely to change
if/when NetBSD 6.2 is released
0.12 (2015-05-03)
- add support for on-disk caches to speed up consecutive runs
- support for ROMs in directories instead of in zip archives
- fix all fixable ROM errors automatically in one run
- speed up database operations by preparing statements only once
- remove torrentzip support (removed in libzip)

o some warnings that prevented build on Debian fixed
2014/10/15 - version 1.0.0 released
==========
Major highlights of this release:
o JIT CPU compiler now supports also ARM platforms driven by Linux
o JIT CPU compiler fixes memory management and adds some instructions
o massive NatFeat HostFS fixes and improvements (symlinks and more)
o NatFeat CD-ROM for Win32 and SDL
o NatFeat OSMesa support improved (OpenGL 4.4 / Mesa 10.1.4)
osmesa.ldg can replace tinygl.ldg now
o seamless mouse integration and keyboard input improved
o NVRAM: many country codes added (from current FreeMiNT)
o libSDL2 is supported now (along with libSDL 1.2.x)
o Cygwin, MinGW, Mac OS X, CentOS and Debian build fixes
Countless bug fixes and many other under-the-hood improvements are included
as well. This release crowns more than 13 years of continuous development
by many dedicated programmers (listed in the AUTHORS file). Thank you all!
more pkgsrcesque.
1) turn _USE_GITHUB into an internal infrastructure variable
2) put back MASTER_SITES in packages' Makefiles.
3) encode the account in the master site URL, remove GH_ACCOUNT
4) rename GH_PROJECT to GITHUB_PROJECT
5) rename GH_TAGNAME to GITHUB_TAG and allow it to accept commit hash
as well as tag. GH_COMMIT is gone.
6) turn on this functionality when MASTER_SITES matches a predefined github
pattern instead of via explicit USE_GITHUB setting.
