- fixed the problem with Ticks getting incremented on every interrupt, not
just 60Hz (e.g. moving the mouse made the caret blink faster)
- Unix: integrated JIT compiler for Linux/x86 and FreeBSD/x86
- Unix: moved minimum autoconf support to 2.52+
- Unix: add large file support for 2+ GB hard disk images
- Unix: cleaned up pthread attributes [Brian Johnson]
- Unix: fixed floppy problems under Linux
- Unix: implemented "ignoresegv" feature on Linux/x86, Linux/ppc, Darwin/ppc
- Unix: serial port baud rates are now set correctly
- Unix: 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')
- Unix: the option "--config FILE" tells B2 to use a different config file
- Unix: new prefs options "dsp" and "mixer" to set the OSS device names
instead of the hardcoded '/dev/dsp' and '/dev/mixer'
- Unix: new ether prefs option 'tun' to use a TUN/TAP interface. The
configure script used can be overriden with "etherconfig"
- Unix: SDL audio and video output are now available in option
- Unix: port JIT compiler to Linux/x86_64 (AMD64 and EM64T platforms)
- Unix: sheep_net driver ported to kernel 2.6 (patches from Mac-On-Linux)
- Unix: fix network code to work correctly on 64-bit platforms
- Unix: implement X11 to MacOS exchange of text through the clipboard
- Windows: a new port derived from Lauri's work is now available
Basilisk II is an Open Source 68k Macintosh emulator. That is, it
enables you to run 68k MacOS software on you computer, even if you
are using a different operating system. However, you still need a
copy of MacOS and a Macintosh ROM image to use Basilisk II.
