46: - Better filters and model for sound emulation
47: - Correct VBL timings in TT monochrome (double clicking works now)
48: - More cycle accurate Falcon DSP <-> CPU emulation. All the demos that
49: needed 32Mhz CPU with the old CPU core in Hatari v1.5, work now at

1.1.1.15 root 52:
53:
54: Emulator:
55: - Switch to ST mode when using TOS <= 1.04
56: - Replace "--slowfdc" with "--fastfdc" option and default to fast FDC being OFF
57: - "--fast-boot" option to initialize "memvalid" system variables to
58: by-pass the memory test of TOS, so that the system boots faster
59: - "--force-max" option to force Hatari use specified maximum resolution
60: to avoid window size changes messing up Hatari video recording
61: - "--desktop-st" option to keep desktop resolution also for ST/STE modes
62: (unfortunately without scaling besides the low-res doubling)
63: - GEMDOS HD emulation:
64: - Allow drives up to Z: (not Y:)
65: - Unique name for each partition
66: - Warn user when using too old TOS version
67: - Dfree() reports host disk total and free size if they're below
68: value understood by TOS and unlike earlier, it forwards Dfree()
69: requests for other (IDE/ACSI image) partitions to TOS
70: - Debugger improvements:
71: - "history" command to list instructions executed before entering
72: debugger
73: - each trace output line is flushed to avoid it being buffered
74: - Fixed behavior of the Caps Lock key
75:
76: Other changes:
77: - Fixes to Hatari UI Hatari window embedding

1.1.1.14 root 104: Version 1.5.0 (2011-07-19):
1.1.1.15 root 105: ---------------------------
1.1.1.14 root 106:
107: Emulation:
108: - Alternative CPU core based on WinUAE for more accurate future
109: HW interaction emulation (see readme.txt on how to enable it)
110: - Use precise clocks values (as described in Atari's official schematics)
111: for better video/dma audio synchronisation (e.g. More Or Less Zero by DHS)
112: - DSP:
113: - Some DSP-timing sensitive Falcon demos that by luck happened to work
114: with Hatari v1.4, don't work anymore in v1.5 with the default UAE CPU
115: core. This is because while DSP cycle accuracy has been improved,
116: the default UAE CPU core isn't fully cycle accurate. The experimental
117: WinUAE core is needed to run them
118: - Undocumented 2 bit shift special case for DSP SSI <-> crossbar exchanges
119: in hanshake mode with 32 Mhz clock (fixes DSP MP2 player used in many
120: demos & programs, but that requires also using WinUAE core)
121: - Sound improvements:
122: - Major rewrite and accuracy improvements in STE DMA sound, including
123: emulation of the 8 bytes FIFO, giving results nearly identical to
124: a real STE (e.g. HexTracker by Paulo Simoes)
125: - Improved precision in sound emulation, with nearly no rounding errors
126: over successive VBL (correct sound latency on US TOS running at 60 Hz)
127: - By default mix 3 YM voices using a lookup table of values
128: measured on real STF to improve digisound (e.g. Flashback demo sound)
129: - Remove old ST Sound's code used for tone and noise step compute
130: (some low period values were not correctly emulated)
131: - Video emulation on STF/STE:
132: - On STE, correctly shift display 8 pixels to the left when using
133: 224 bytes overscan
134: - Add support for spec512 mode in med res (fixes 'Best Part Of The
135: Creation' in 'Punish Your Machine', 'HighRes Mode' demo by Paradox)
136: - Correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed
137: in med res overscan (Hatari 1.4 handled only low res, fixes 'No Cooper'
138: by 1984, 'Best Part Of The Creation' by Delta Force)
139: - Precisely emulate the number of frames per sec (eg 50.053 fps in PAL
140: instead of the usual 50 Hz)
141:
142: Emulator:
143: - Atari program given as argument to Hatari will be automatically
144: started after TOS boots. GEMDOS hard disk directory can now be
145: give also as an argument, not just as a (-d) option
146: - TOS4 or --machine falcon option use enables DSP emulation now
147: (follow them with --dsp none to disable DSP emulation)
148: - Memory state saving and restoring fixes, especially for Falcon
149: - Crossbar state is included -> state file ABI break
150: - AVI recording options can be set in the new [Video] config file section
151: - AVI recording supports non integer frame rates.
152: - Falcon/TT Videl/hostscreen improvements:
153: - New setting/option for using Desktop resolution & scaling
154: in fullscreen instead of changing the resolution. On by default
155: - User's desktop size is used as max limit for Videl zooming.
156: Requires SDL >= 1.2.10
157: - Videl resolution change is done immediately, not 3 VBLs late
158: - Fix issues in switching between same sized VDI & TT resolutions
159: - SDL GUI improvements:
160: - DSP can be disabled from the GUI without needing to restart Hatari
161: - Disk access LED and desktop-resolution options
162: - AVI video length (mins:secs) is shown in titlebar during recording
163: - Option for cropping statusbar from videos & screenshots
164: - Fileselector scrollbar can be used with mouse
165: - YM mixing method selection
166: - Debugging improvements:

168: - CPU & DSP "disasm" and "memdump" commands accept register & symbol
169: names in addition to numeric addresses / address ranges
170: - Option to disable Falcon mic
171: ("--mic off" is needed for Mudflap debugging)
172: - "--run-vbls" can be set also at run-time
173: - "--bios-intercept" can be toggled from debugger (not just enabled)
174: - BIOS CON: output is converted to ASCII and redirected to host console
175: with the --bios-intercept option
176: - Support for tracing DSP, Videl and Crossbar

180: - TEXT, DATA and BSS variables for addresses of corresponding segments
181: in currently loaded program
182: - "aes", "vdi" and "gemdos" subcommands for "info". Without arguments
183: they will output information about corresponding OS part state,
184: with (a non-zero) argument, opcode/call name table is shown.
185: "video" subcommand for showing video related information.
186: "cookiejar" subcommand for showing cookiejar contents.
187: - "file" subcommand to "lock" that executes debugger commands from
188: given file when debugger is entered (or ":lock" breakpoint is hit)
189: - ":lock" option to breakpoints that will show (without stopping the
190: emulation) the same output as what's shown on entering the debugger
191: - ":file" option to breakpoints that executes the commands from
192: given file when the breakpoint is hit. This can be used to chain
193: debugger actions
194: - multiple breakpoints options can be specified per breakpoint
195: - parenthesis in "evaluate" command are used to indicate memory
196: accesses (instead of operator precedence like earlier)
197: - DSP and CPU code profiling functionality. Provides statistics about
198: profiled code (executed code address ranges, max and total counts
199: and cycles), lists addresses/instructions taking most cyles and if
200: symbols are loaded, what were the most used symbol addresses.
201: - Profiling information is also shown in disassembly output
202:
203: Other changes:
204: - hmsa tool can create empty disk images in addition to converting
205: disks between ST & MSA formats

207: to register Hatari as binfmt_misc handler/runner for TOS programs
208: - hatari-console.py renamed to hconsole.py, documented and made extensible
209: (hconsole is command line Python interface for Hatari remote API)
210: - Support for plain Makefiles removed (except for internal tests),
211: only CMake is used for configuring and building Hatari
212: - CMake doesn't require anymore working C++, C-compiler is enough

217:
218: Emulation:
219: - IDE improvements:
220: - Support for second drive (IDE slave)
221: - WIN_FORMAT command (allows HD Driver to format IDE drives)
222: - GEMDOS HDD emulation:
223: - Minor fixes to Fseek(), Fopen(), Fdatime() (e.g. Pure debugger works)
224: - On TOS v4 Fread() size arg is unsigned, on earlier TOS its signed
225: (bad code can use -1L to read whole file instead getting fail on TOS4)
226: - Prevent DTA and read/write functions accessing invalid memory areas
227: - Programs can now change read-only files to be writable
228: - Falcon sound emulation:

238: - add support for STE's 224 bytes overscan line without stabilizer
239: - when reading $ff8205/07/09 on STE, take into account the value
240: of horizontal scrolling/prefetch and linewidth
241: - when writing to $ff8205/07/09 on STE, correctly handle the case
242: where the write is made while display in ON
243: - LMC1992 emulation / STE sound filtering
244:
245: Emulator:
246: - Host mouse is centered to Hatari window on Falcon resolution changes
247: (helps in synchronizing host and emulated mouse positions)
248: - Toggling fullscreen doesn't unpause paused emulation
249: - Falcon/TT resolution zooming is now controlled by separate options for
250: monitor aspect ratio correction and maximum zoomed Hatari window size.
251: This can reduce Hatari window resolution size changes significantly and
252: makes e.g. FUN's Alive demo viewable in fullscreen mode. Limits for
253: window size are also checked to see whether ST/STE low rez should be
254: zoomed and how much of borders can be shown (when borders enabled)
255: - Split the Screen dialog into two separate dialogs, one for Atari
256: monitor emulation setup and one for Hatari window setup
257: - GEMDOS drive emulation:
258: - support long host directory names and much improved long filename support
259: - convert host filename chars invalid in TOS to valid ones ('@')
260: - use TOS filename matching instead of glob() (can match names with [])
261: - Options for preventing floppy image (--protect-floppy) and GEMDOS
262: emulated drive directory (--protect-hd) modifications
263: - AVI file recording:
264: - video can be stored as BMP or as PNG images
265: - audio is stored as 16 bits stereo PCM
266: - Statusbar shows CPU type & speed
267: - Can create blank 2.88MB (ED) and 1.44MB (HD) floppy images
268: from the GUI in addition to DD & SD images. After creating
269: new floppy image, one can directly insert it to A: or B:.
270: - Tracing for BIOS, XBIOS, GEMDOS and VDI traps gives in addition
271: to the opcode, also the name of the corresponding OS function
272: - Major debugger improvements:
273: - TAB-completion for debugger commands, command arguments and
274: symbol names. Requires readline library

276: execute debugger commands from a file
277: - "stateload" and "statesave" commands for memory snapshots
278: - "trace" command for tracing what the emulated code does
279: - "symbols" command for loading and listing CPU & DSP code & data
280: symbols/addresses. Code symbols are shown on CPU & DSP disassembly
281: and code & data symbols can be used in breakpoints
282: - "evaluate" command for doing calculations. Register and symbol
283: names in expressions are replaced by their values. '$' will be
284: TAB-completed to last 'evaluate' command result
285: - "cd" command to change Hatari work directory
286: - "exec" command to execute shell commands (ENABLE_SYSTEM_DEBUG_CALL)
287: - "info" command for showing Atari HW and OS information
288: - "lock" command for setting what information is shown every time on
289: entering the debugger, e.g. disassembly or memdump from given address.
290: "regaddr" argument does that from address pointed by given register
291: - improved register name handling + fixed DSP reg name matching
292: - if both sides of conditional breakpoint condition are identical, replace
293: right side with current value of given expression (e.g. if it's "d0",
294: use current D0 value). If the comparison is for inequality ("!"),
295: output the value & break only when the value changes from the previous
296: value (not original like with other comparisons). Symbols support
297: - ":trace" option to trace/output breakpoint hits without breaking
298: - breakpoints count hits and can be optionally removed after first hit
299: (":once" option) or triggered only on every Nth hit (":<count>" option)
300: - dsp/address command is a shortcut for conditional breakpoints and its
301: argument can be an expression (see "evaluate" above)
302: - Display DSP instructions cycle timings in disasm mode (in cycles)
303: - Configuration options for how many lines to disasm & memdump

460:
461: - The user's configuration files are now located in the directory ~/.hatari/
462: instead of the $HOME directory itself.
463: - Improved VDI resolution mode (resolution can now be change in small steps).
464: - The 'Frame Skip 8' option can now be correctly selected, too.

475: - Fixed some bugs in the file selection dialog.
476: - Some minor improvements in the GUI: Improved text edit fields, "Cancel"
477: buttons can now be activated by pressing the ESC key, and Hatari asks the
478: user before resetting and quitting the emulator.
479: - The Hatari executable is now relocatable (so the RPM can be relocated, too).
480: - It's now possible to enable special trace output with the "--trace" option.

495: data register, reading data register, handle pending cycles when timer
496: "wraps" (i.e. data register reaches 0), ...). Supports programs using some
497: very "fast" timers (Overscan Demos, ULM Demos) and requiring nearly cycle
498: exact synchronisation with the 68000.
499: - Mostly correct wait states when accessing sound registers (add wait state for
500: $ff8801/ff8803 when needed).
501: - Correct values of cycle counters read & write accesses for the most common
502: cases used for fullscreen/hardscroll.
503: - Correct values for Video_CalculateAddress, taking into account frequency and
504: left/right borders' state, needed for correct synchronisation between video
505: and cpu.

515: Version 0.95 (2007-05-12):
516: --------------------------
517:
518: - This release brings you basic Atari TT and Falcon emulation!
519: Please note that both new emulation modes are still highly experiemental,
520: some few games and demos work, but most still have more or less big
521: problems.
522: - Basic emulation of Falcon video shifter (Videl), NVRAM and DMA sound is in
523: place. The biggest drawback: There is no working Falcon DSP emulation yet.

544: - Bugfix to MFP, sound works now in more YMRockerz releases.
545: - Bugfix to GEMDOS path handling (Hatari SIGSEGV).
546: - Bugfix to emulated memory initialization (4MB was cleared earlier, now
547: exactly the amount set up for Hatari. Saves memory on embedded systems
548: if less than 4MB is specified.)
549: - Re-written command-line option handling.
550: - (Again) lots of code const/static, type usage and indentation cleanup.
551: - Preliminary support for TOS 3.0x and 030 TT software that runs in ST
552: resolutions and doesn't need PMMU.

561: the joystick cursor emu is enabled.
562: - Fixed relative mouse event handling in zoomed low-rez.
563: - Hatari shows now more of the bottom borden (screen size is now 384x276
564: instead of 384x267).
565: - Fixed sync delay timings - sound should now be better (e.g. on Mac OS X).
566: - Added basic support for compiling Hatari with MinGW.
567:
568:

624: better in high resolutions.
625: - The fonts are now linked into the executable.
626: - Added support for DIM floppy disk images.
627:
628:
629: Version 0.45 (2003-10-30):
630: --------------------------

653: Mansion use this).
654: - Added Mega-ST compatible real time clock (RTC) emulation.
655: - The GEMDOS HD emulation has been improved (it now also works with lower-case
656: file names) and many bugs have been fixed there.

673: Version 0.30 (2003-03-12):
674: --------------------------
675:
676: - Some parts of the code accessed the SR directly to read the IPL -
677: however the UAE CPU core only updates the SR when doing a MakeSR() first.
