+
+
+
+PATCHLEVEL 14::
+
+
+
+tosfs.c:
+
+	Aaargh! Just after cutting this patch I discovered
+
+	that I had the test backwards.
+
+
+
+PATCHLEVEL 13::
+
+
+
+tosfs.c:
+
+	Changed so that Fsfirst()/Fsnext() always return
+
+	upper case, regardless of domain. (MiNT aware
+
+	programs should use the new directory functions.)
+
+dosdir.c: ++akiernan
+
+	Got rid of the special hack for drive x:, since
+
+	drive x: no longer exists.
+
+asm.y: ++akiernan
+
+	Cleaned up a bit.
+
+*.c: ++julian
+
+	Some minor patches for PureC.
+
+dosdir.c: ++julian
+
+	New system call, Dgetcwd(), with a 'size' parameter;
+
+	this doesn't do anything different from Dgetpath
+
+	now, but it's there for future expansion.
+
+
+
+PATCHLEVEL 12::
+
+
+
+version.h:
+
+	Update the patchlevel correctly.
+
+pipefs.c,dosfile.c:
+
+	Keep the Unix style semantics for pipes created with
+
+	Fpipe, but not for other fifo's (which by default will
+
+	continue to read the number of bytes requested).
+
+
+
+PATCHLEVEL 11::
+
+
+
+tty.c:	++schwab
+
+	Support word-erase and quote-next-char.
+
+fasttext.c: ++schwab
+
+	support fgcol/bgcol
+
+	(screen_ioctl): tty_ioctl is now called by parent by default if
+
+	EINVFN
+
+signal.c (check_sigs): ++schwab
+
+	Use an int to index signals, not a long
+
+biosfs.c (bios_getxattr): ++schwab
+
+	u:\dev\stdin, etc., get the attributes of
+
+	the associated files
+
+dos.c (p_setuid, p_setgid): ++schwab
+
+	Allow setting to the current real [gu]id
+
+bios.c (checkkeys): ++schwab@ls5.informatik.uni-dortmund.de
+
+	Keys read by do_func_key should not be
+
+	interpreted (esp. UNDO -> SIGQUIT). also recheck shift status
+
+	since do_func_key may take some time
+
+xbios.c: ++entropy@gnu.ai.mit.edu
+
+	Added code to support old (tos < 1.4) Rsconf()
+
+	semantics.
+
+mem.c:
+
+	Changed so that attempts to execute a shared text program
+
+	which has data/bss references in the text segment will
+
+	get an ENOEXEC error instead of ENSMEM.
+
+*.c: ++julian@math.uni-muenster.de
+
+	Applied Julian's purec patches.
+
+
+
+PATCHLEVEL 10::
+
+
+
+pipefs.c:
+
+	Changed so that read() on a pipe will return as
+
+	soon as some data is available; this is how
+
+	all Unixes work.
+
+*.c:
+
+	Applied Julian's patches to allow compilation with
+
+	PureC.
+
+main.c:
+
+	New variable, MAXMEM=, for setting maximum memory
+
+	size (in K).
+
+main.c:
+
+	Removed PSEUDODRIVES= command, since "alias" has
+
+	replaced it.
+
+util.c:
+
+	Changed atoi to atol; it's more generally useful.
+
+asmtrans:
+
+	Applied Howard's patches; in particular, made %ifdef
+
+	apply to other commands (like %define) as well as to
+
+	code generation.
+
+	
+
+PATCHLEVEL 9::
+
+
+
+asmtrans:
+
+	Cleaned up a bit more for cross-compilation.
+
+intr.spp:
+
+	in_kernel can be set while the process is in user mode
+
+	(if the critical error handler calls GEM)
+
+syscall.spp:
+
+	Get rid of some more magic numbers.
+
+bios.c:
+
+	While fixing the mtt bug, a new bug was introduced. So,
+
+	let's try again :-).
+
+
+
+PATCHLEVEL 8::
+
+
+
+bios.c:
+
+	Fixed a particularly silly bug in bios.c: in do_bconin(),
+
+	r was being returned without being initialized. Why didn't
+
+	gcc catch this?
+
+*.c:
+
+	Applied Alex's patches for Lattice, and Julian's patches for
+
+	Pure C.
+
+signal.c:
+
+	Kill programs with p_term() instead of terminate() (except for
+
+	signal SIGKILL) so as to allow them a chance to clean up via
+
+	the term_vec vector.
+
+shmfs.c:
+
+	Allow Fattrib() call to change the read-only
+
+	bit. Made Fxattr() return the correct mode
+
+	for shared memory files.
+
+main.c, fasttext.c:
+
+	Allowed HARDSCROLL=AUTO to set the number of
+
+	lines of scrolling to the current screen size.
+
+syscall.spp, inline.h:
+
+	New functions, callout2() and callout1(), with
+
+	less overhead; used by bios.c to call the
+
+	Bconxxx functions.
+
+bios.c:
+
+	Changed calls to Bconxxx functions into
+
+	jumps through the defined vector table in
+
+	low memory, when this is possible (TOS 1.0
+
+	doesn't have the table).
+
+asmtrans, *.spp:
+
+	Added %ifdef, %else, and %endif commands (for
+
+	future expansion). Removed the requirement that
+
+	macros to be expanded be delimited by % signs,
+
+	and cleaned up the definitions. Changed
+
+	"SECTION FOO" to "FOO". Added -purec compilation
+
+	option.
+
+filesys.c:
+
+	Fixed a bug in changedrv (there was no
+
+	check to see if "d" was a BIOS drive before
+
+	aliasdrv[d] was tested).
+
+
+
+PATCHLEVEL 7::
+
+
+
+biosfs.c,fasttext.c:
+
+	Fixed incorrect code that assumed TCURSON
+
+	was 0.
+
+makefile:
+
+	Fixed Makefile to work with older versions
+
+	of gmake, as well as generic make programs.
+
+
+
+PATCHLEVEL 6::
+
+
+
+*.s:
+
+	Radical overhaul of how assembly language is
+
+	handled. We now provide 2 utility programs,
+
+	"genmagic" (for producing symbolic names for
+
+	various offsets into structures) and "asmtrans"
+
+	(for processing .spp files, replacing macros
+
+	defined by "genmagic" and optionally translating
+
+	Motorola to MIT syntax). Now we only have to
+
+	maintain the .spp files; the Lattice and gcc
+
+	versions of the .s files are generated automatically,
+
+	and as a side benefit we can get rid of magic
+
+	numbers in the .s files and be sure that if we
+
+	change proc.h, the assembly language will be
+
+	updated properly.
+
+main.c,filesys.c,file.h:
+
+	Added a new command to mint.cnf, "alias", to
+
+	enable aliases for pseudo (and other) drives
+
+	to be created. Also, deleted drives q:, v:, and
+
+	x:. Programs should no longer be using these;
+
+	if they are, users can put things like
+
+	"alias q: u:\pipe" into mint.cnf.
+
+file.h:
+
+	Fixed the definitions for TCURSON and TCURSOFF.
+
+console.c:
+
+	Moved the handle checks in file_* functions into
+
+	separate functions, since for example we *know*
+
+	that handle 0 falls within the legal range; this
+
+	should remove a bit of overhead on BIOS and
+
+	single character GEMDOS I/O.
+
+main.c:
+
+	Got rid of the zeroexit() code; since we now
+
+	allow the whole boot process to be aborted by
+
+	right shift.
+
+pipefs.c:
+
+	Allow Cursconf() to work on TOSWIN pipes.
+
+mem.c:
+
+	Check the date and time of shared text regions
+
+	before re-using them.
+
+bios.c,syscall.s:
+
+	Changed the trap #13 entry point to allow quick
+
+	evaluation of BIOS functions that don't need
+
+	the full context save/restore done.
+
+everywhere:
+
+	Macro-ize TRACE and DEBUG so that it's possible
+
+	to produce a smaller version of MiNT without
+
+	them.
+
+biosfs.c:
+
+	Don't check for keyboard presses after every
+
+	BIOS write, it's too time consuming.
+
+
+
+PATCHLEVEL 5::
+
+
+
+mem.c:
+
+	Another bug: we shouldn't do the dLibs Pexec
+
+	hack on the first process we start up, because
+
+	it means messing with the MiNT basepage (which
+
+	is not ours to mess with, it's TOS's).
+
+main.c:
+
+	Fixed bug in enter_kernel (rootproc->base is no
+
+	longer necessarily MiNT's basepage).
+
+various places:
+
+	Tried to remove gcc warnings about constant
+
+	expression overflow.
+
+syscall.s:
+
+	Applied Alex's patch to allow trace mode to work
+
+	with non-MiNT debuggers.
+
+various places:
+
+	Applied Alex's patches to get rid of Lattice warnings
+
+	about unneeded assignments.
+
+mem.c:
+
+	Added extra traces to exec_region() in an effort to
+
+	track down the mysterious crash problems that others
+
+	have had.
+
+
+
+PATCHLEVEL 4::
+
+
+
+dosmem.c:
+
+	Made do_vfork not bother to save shared text regions.
+
+bios.c:
+
+	Made Rwabs respect Dlock.
+
+tosfs.c:
+
+	Made the TOS media change routines lazier (actual
+
+	disk access is deferred until the disk is next
+
+	needed).
+
+main.c:
+
+	Applied Alex's patches for setenv.
+
+everywhere:
+
+	Applied Julian's patches for Pure/Turbo C. The
+
+	resulting kernel doesn't actually work yet, but
+
+	at least we don't get so many error messages when
+
+	compiling. (Who needs lint when you have three
+
+	fussy ANSI compilers?)
+
+mint.h:
+
+	Oops; we should have had #include "inline.h" here.
+
+inline.h:
+
+	Applied jrb's GCC patches, and Alex's Lattice patches.
+
+
+
+PATCHLEVEL 3::
+
+
+
+bios.c:
+
+	Some optimizations in bflush(). I tried something like
+
+	this before, but messed up the terminal output modes.
+
+	Let's hope I got it right this time. Also:
+
+	removed some dependencies on sizeof(int).
+
+makefile:
+
+	Tried -O2 instead of -O. It seems to work, so let's
+
+	leave it on for now.
+
+inline.h:
+
+	New file to keep short, inlined versions of frequently
+
+	called functions.
+
+intr.s:
+
+	Check the floppy disk locking flag before doing a
+
+	pre-emption. Not really necessary now, but it doesn't
+
+	hurt to be careful.
+
+dosfile.c,*fs.c:
+
+	Applied Alex's F_SETLKW patches. If Alex isn't careful,
+
+	he's going to make MiNT Posix compliant on us :-).
+
+dosmem.c:
+
+	Applied Alex's patches to add a Pwaitpid system call.
+
+main.c:
+
+	If running from the AUTO folder, adjust the basepage
+
+	chains so that MiNT is invisible to programs that
+
+	(incorrectly!) make assumptions about basepages.
+
+proc.c:
+
+	Some optimizations in do_wakeup.
+
+filesys.c:
+
+	Don't call (*fs->dskchng)() twice when a disk
+
+	change is detected.
+
+main.c:
+
+	Make sure the _resvalid system variable has the
+
+	correct magic number in it for indicating that
+
+	we want to catch the reset.
+
+
+
+PATCHLEVEL 2::
+
+
+
+dosdir.c:
+
+	Really forbid deleting other process' current
+
+	directories (the actual "return EACCDN" was missing!)
+
+proc.c:
+
+	Inlined the check_time() function, and re-arranged
+
+	do_wakeup_things a bit to be more efficient.
+
+syscall.s:
+
+	Streamlined a bit; things are now kept in registers
+
+	where possible.
+
+filesys.c:
+
+	When loading file systems at startup time, don't
+
+	check the \MINT directory if that's the current one.
+
+filesys.c:
+
+	After a media change, instead of throwing away all
+
+	handles that pointed to the changed drive, make
+
+	them point to /dev/null instead, so that they
+
+	won't be re-used until the user explicitly closes
+
+	them.
+
+dosdir.c:
+
+	Allow Dlock() to succeed even if there is an
+
+	unfinished Fsfirst/Fsnext sequence on the drive.
+
+mem.c:
+
+	Allow relocations outside of the program load area;
+
+	apparently, some programs actually need these.
+
+mem.c:
+
+	Insert some sanity checks on memory addresses.
+
+signal.c:
+
+	Restart check_sigs if the process stopped because of
+
+	a signal, since the parent may reset the set of
+
+	pending signals.
+
+cpu.s:
+
+	New file from Alex, to control caching &c.
+
+various places:
+
+	More debugging patches from Alex, to make attaching
+
+	to existing processes work correctly.
+
+
+
+PATCHLEVEL 1::
+
+
+
+various places:
+
+	Cleaned up the debugging stuff a bit. For example, if a
+
+	process does PTRACESFLAGS on itself, it's the same
+
+	as if the parent did; also, if the process does a
+
+	Pexec with overlay (i.e. Unix exec()) then it stops
+
+	before its first instruction. This makes emulating
+
+	the Unix ptrace() system call much easier.
+
+
+
+PATCHLEVEL 0::
+
+
+
+biosfs.c:
+
+	Changed Fcntl TIOCISPEED/TIOCOSPEED to return the
+
+	next lowest legal baud rate if an illegal one is
+
+	specified.
+
+filesys.c:
+
+	Fix a bug that would cause an infinite loop if a
+
+	bad .XFS format is encountered.
+
+mem.c,mem.h,dosmem.c:
+
+	Implemented shared text; if the appropriate bit
+
+	(for now, 0x800) in the program header is set, then
+
+	the loader will set up a shared text region for
+
+	the program, and subsequent executions of it will
+
+	run out of the same text segment. Note that this
+
+	does require appropriate compiler support!
+
+filesys.c:
+
+	Fixed bug in the way directory searches are closed
+
+	after a media change.
+
+biosfs.c,intr.s:
+
+	Applied Julian's third mouse button patch for
+
+	/dev/mouse.
+
+*.s:
+
+	Applied Alex's debugging patches. Also: wrote a
+
+	Motorola->MIT syntax converter, so that we only
+
+	have to maintain the stuff in the "asm" directory.
+
+signal.c,proc.h,procfs.c,etc.:
+
+	Applied Alex's debugging patches, with a few
+
+	slight modifications.
+
+
+
 version 0.95
 
 
 
+PATCHLEVEL14::
+
+
+
+
+
+filesys.c:
+
+	Check for the existence of the \MINT directory before
+
+	trying to load .XFS files from there.
