Version 2.2.1 (2019-02-08)
---------------------------
Emulation:
- CPU:
- Fix a bug/regression from Hatari 2.1.0 in the UNPK instruction
Version 2.2.0 (2019-01-31)
---------------------------
Note:
- Compiling with SDL 1.2 is considered as deprecated now.
The support for SDL 1.2 will be dropped in a future release.
- Hatari now requires a C compiler compatible with c99/gnu99
Emulation:
- CPU:
- CPU core updated to WinUAE 4.1.0
- Fix 68030 MMU PTEST/FSAVE/FRESTORE
- Improve 68030 bus error handling and retrying faulty instruction
- Fix: only enable cache emulation when relevant
- Improve softfloat FPU emulation
- FPU emulation mode (softfloat or not) can be changed on the fly
- Ensure HW registers region is not cachable for 68030 without MMU
when write allocate mode is enabled
- DSP:
- Fix DSP ROM tables (sin, mulaw & a-law)
- Some waitstate cycles were not correctly counted when accessing
DSP IO regs in CE mode
- Blitter:
- Fix: a rare case in cycle exact mode when bus is shared between CPU
and blitter : the last word of a transfer could be wrong if bus was
owned by CPU just before processing this last word and a read-modify-write
is made
- State of current blitter operation was sometimes not correctly restored
when CPU temporarily stopped the blitter and resumed it later
- DSP emulation was not updated in parallel when blitter was running
- Video:
- Handle VBlank signal and mask the 2 last lines when bottom border
is removed
- Hard disks:
- Experimental support for the NCR5380 SCSI chip in Falcon and TT mode
- Serial ports:
- Very experimental support for the SCC chip of the Mega-STE, TT and Falcon
(only channel B for now, and output only, use the "--scc-b-out" command
line switch)
- Misc:
- Correctly emulate bus error handling for STE lightpen registers
- Experimental support for TOS 2.07 (the "Sparrow" TOS)
Emulator:
- Misc:
- "patch TOS timer-D" speedup option is now disabled by default
- Allow up to 512MB of TT-RAM (increased from 256 MB)
- Additional ROM patches applied to TOS v4.x for 040 & 060
- Improved info and warning output for Hatari constraints and issues
- Memory snapshot save/restore:
- Fix: Include GEMDOS HD file handles so apps with open files work
- Improve memory snapshot save/restore reliability
(e.g. for pending interrupts)
- Save/restore TT RAM content into memory snapshots
- SDL GUI:
- Show warning dialog when cartridge file is disabled due to conflict
with other features

- It is now possible to configure more than one ACSI hard disk images
- MacOS / GUI:
- Minor GUI updates for v2.1 changes
- Fix: "reset" and "don't reset" UI buttons inverted
- Update MIDI panel for French version
- Save screenshots in user defined location or ~/Desktop
- Windows:
- Fix: buffer overflow in relative Hatari datapath handling
- Disk handling:
- IDE byte-swap option added to config file & GUI
- Fix: NF SCSI driver didn't invalidate cache for changed memory area
- Fix: *.INF file in disk image being overridden even when neither
VDI mode or autostart program wasn't specified (v2.1 regression)
- Fix: GEMDOS HD Fwrite() can be done from ROM area (for ROM saving)
- Media handling:
- Fix: AVI recording with PNG codec could be wrongly limited to 4GB
with some OSes

- Fix: TOS <= v2.x crashes when mouse is moved in 16x16 area at
the bottom right corner in VDI mode (Hatari v1.0 regression)
- Fix: "--tos-res high" setting
- Debugging:
- Fix: DSP/CPU profile "addresses" commands output line count when
paging. Tell also when it wraps to start
- Each log message has a log level prefix
- (Almost) all Hatari output goes now through logging framework so
that Hatari verbosity can be controlled
- Output at default log level is reduced significantly
- Add support for ISP & USP and 020+ special registers like VBR
- Add "OsCallParam" variable which gives first (word sized) parameter
for OS calls, for use with OS call "*Opcode" breakpoints
- Add virtual V0..V7 registers to "register" command for calculations
- "memdump" and "memwrite" commands output & input can now be also
word or long sized instead of bytes
- Show arguments in DSP XBios call traces
- FPU and PMMU opcodes are now also disassembled in 68040/060 mode
- Options:
- Fix: "--memsize 0" legacy option
- Disable "--timer-d" option by default. Increases CPU usage
(noticeably for ST/e emulation), but some rare (badly written)
programs need it for correct color raster & sample handling
- The "--bios-intercept" option requires now a boolean parameter
to determine whether the option should be enabled or disabled
- Add "--cmd-fifo" option to control Hatari at run-time just by
echoing commands to a FIFO file (created by Hatari)
- Add "--tos none" option to run test programs without any TOS.
Real Atari programs cannot be run with this, as it doesn't
implement the necessary Atari OS calls

- Support argument setting also for programs that are run
from disk images
- zip2st: handle also directories with spaces in their names
- Fixes to hatari_profiler Callgrind output symbol handling
- Fix TOS bootup tester test output verification
- Few additional tests for validating Hatari functionality.
Almost all tests are now integrated with CTest framework.
Use e.g. "ctest -j4" command to run them

(return latest data seen on the bus on STF/STE)
- Add support for more RAM combinations (256 KB and 2.5 MB)
- Blitter:
- Add cycle exact bus handling for the blitter (correct bus count for CPU
