* 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)
Makefiles simply need to use this value often, for better or for
worse.
(2) Create a new variable FIX_RPATH that lists variables that should
be cleansed of -R or -rpath values if ${_USE_RPATH} is "no". By
default, FIX_RPATH contains LIBS, X11_LDFLAGS, and LDFLAGS, and
additional variables may be appended from package Makefiles.
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)
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).
