* Changes in VICE 2.3
======================
** General
----------
- Added x64sc, the accurate C64 emulator:
* VIC-II emulation rewritten from scratch using results from extensive
testing with newly written test programs on real hardware.
* Emulation is done on a cycle by cycle basis combined with pixel exact
dot clock domain handling.
* Accurate handling of all possible in-line splits of VIC-II registers
and graphics data.
* C64 model and even individual chip revisions can be selected for very
detailed emulation of their differences.
* Equally accurate PAL, NTSC and PAL-N emulation.
We believe x64sc is one of the most accurate C64 emulators at the
moment.
- Drive improvements, including weak bit emulation.
- Major reSID overhaul:
* Emulation of all known pipeline delays for full cycle accuracy.
* New shift register model based on revectorized die photograps.
* Accurate DAC models based on revectorized die photograps.
* Emulation of floating waveform DAC input for waveform 0.
* Advanced 6581 transistor level filter model based on revectorized
die photograps, yielding unprecedented accuracy.
- CRT Emulation (former "PAL emulation") is now available regardless of
video mode or -chip and works in all emulators.
NOTE: Color gamma range changed. You may need to set to 2.200 manually.
(ColorGamma=2200)
- Added "True aspect ratio" option.
- Sound buffer overflows reduced and the error replaced with a warning.
- Various monitor improvements (io details, expansion port status ...)
- Removed little used Emulator ID feature.
- VIA wrap handling rewritten to fix problems with timer 2.
- Added autostart option to do LOAD ,8 instead of ,8,1.

- Added ability to configure CPUID stepping through .bochsrc.
The default stepping value is 3.
- Added ability to disable MONITOR/MWAIT support through .bochsrc
CPUID option. The option is available only if compiled with
--enable-monitor-mwait configure option.

configure time:
- 32-bit physical address for 386/486 guests
- 36-bit physical address for PSE-36 enabled Pentium guest

Changes in 2.4 (May 3, 2009):
Brief summary :
- Added graphical Bochs debugger frontend for most of the supported platforms.
- Thanks for Chourdakis Michael and Bruce Ewing.
- Many new CPU features in emulation
- Support for > 32 bit physical address space and configurable MSRs
- VMX, 1G pages in long mode, MOVBE instruction
- Bugfixes for CPU emulation correctness, debugger and CPU instrumentation.
- New config interface 'win32config' with start and runtime menu
- USB: added OHCI support, external hub and cdrom
- Added user plugin interface support.
Detailed change log :
- CPU and internal debugger
- Support for VMX hardware emulation in Bochs CPU, to enable configure with
--enable-vmx option
Nearly complete VMX implementation, with few exceptions:
- Dual-monitor treatment of SMIs and SMM not implemented yet
- NMI virtualization, APIC virtualization not implemented yet
- VMENTER to not-active state not supported yet
- No advanced features like Extended Page Tables or VPID
- Support for configurable MSR registers emulation, to enable configure with
--enable-configurable-msrs option
Look for configuration example in .bochsrc and msrs.def
- Support new Intel Atom(R) MOVBE instruction, to enable configure with
--enable-movbe option
- Support for 1G pages in long mode, to enable configure with
--enable-1g-pages option
- Support for > 32 bit physical address space in CPU. Up to 36 bit could be
seen in legacy mode (PAE) and up to 40 bit in x86-64 mode.
Still support the same amount of the physical memory in the memory object,
so system with > 4Gb of RAM yet cannot be emulated.
To enable configure with --enable-long-phy-address option.
- Implemented modern BIOSes mode limiting max reported CPUID function
to 3 using .bochsrc CPU option. The mode is required in order to
correctly install and boot WinNT.
- Added ability to configure CPUID vendor/brand strings through .bochsrc
(patch from @SF by Doug Reed).
- Many bugfixes for CPU emulation correctness (both x86 and x86-64).
- Updated CPU instrumentation callbacks.
- Fixed Bochs internal debugger breakpoints/watchpoints handling.
- Configure and compile
- Added ability to choose Bochs log file name and Bochs debugger log file
name from Bochs command line (using new -log and -dbglog options)
- Removed Peter Tattam's closed source external debugger interface from
the code.
- Removed --enable-guest2host-tlb configure option. The option is always
enabled for any Bochs configuration.
- Removed --enable-icache configure option. The option is always enabled
for any Bochs configuration. Trace cache support still remains optional
and could be configured off.
- Added configure option to compile in GUI frontend for Bochs debugger,
to enable configure with --enable-debugger-gui option.
The GUI debugger frontend is enabled by default with Bochs debugger.
- Removed --enable-port-e9-hack configure option. The feature now could be
configured at runtime through .bochsrc.
- Added configure option to enable/disable A20 pin support. Disabling the
A20 pin support slightly speeds up the emulation.
- reduced dependencies between source files for faster code generation
- BIOS
- Added S3 (suspend to RAM) ACPI state to BIOS (patch by Gleb Natapov)
- Implemented MTRR support in the bios (patches by Avi Kivity and Alex
Williamsion with additions by Sebastian Herbszt)
- Bug fixes
- I/O Devices
- Added user plugin support
- remaining devices converted to plugins: pit, ioapic, iodebug
- added 'plugin_ctrl' bochsrc option to control the presence of optional
device plugins without a separate option. By default all plugins are enabled.

- PACKET-DMA feature now supported by all ATAPI commands
- ATAPI command 0x1A added (based on the Qemu implementation)

BIOS and VGABIOS images)
- I/O APIC
- implemented I/O APIC device hardware reset
- Config interface
- new config interface 'win32config' with start and runtime menu is now
the default on Windows ('textconfig' is still available)
- win32 device config dialogs are now created dynamicly from a parameter list
(works like the wx ParamDialog)
- changes in textcofig and the wx ParamDialog for compatibility with the new
win32 dialog behaviour
- Bochs param tree index keys are case independent now
- some other additions / bugfixes in the simulator interface code
