version 1.0:
- 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')
[Brian Johnson]
- 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'
The patches for this update were contributed by Todd Vierling in
private e-mail.
