1.1.1.18 root 175: Version 1.7.0 (2013-06-24):
176: ---------------------------
177:
178: Emulation:
179: - TT video emulation :
180: - Extend the ST palette registers from 9bit to 12bit for ST modes
181: - Duochrome mode instead of monochrome for ST High
182: - Implementation of SampleHold in TT Hypermono video mode
183: - Sound changes :
184: - Better model of the YM2149 noise generation (no noticeable audible impact)
185: - Slightly better volume table (measured by Paulo Simoes on a real ST)
186: - CPU changes :
187: - Added experimental MMU emulation for the 68030 mode
188: - Handle the IACK cycles during an exception for HBL/VBL
189: - ACIA/IKBD changes :
190: - Full implementation of the MC6850 ACIA, giving much more robust
191: IKBD emulation
192: - Better timings for all IKBD commands (measured on a real STF)
193: - Clock is handled internally in IKBD, host date/time is used
194: only to initialize RTC at boot. I.e. pausing emulation doesn't
195: cause time skips when unpausing
196: - Fix slow mouse when absolute mode is used with scale values
197: - MFP changes :
198: - Fixed priority errors when simultaneous interrupts happened
199: - MFP's IRQ should be delayed by 4 cycles before reaching the CPU
200: - MFP's IRQ signal was not correctly updated in some cases
201: - Handle the IACK cycles between CPU and MFP during an exception
202: - FDC changes :
203: - Better delays for all the GAPs inside a track
204: - Emulate the disk's rotation and its angular position to get
205: accurate delays when accessing a sector header
206: - Internal timer for FDC was wrong and sometimes slower than expected
207: - Correct delay for type I commands with "verify" bit=1
208: - GEMDOS HD emulation changes :
209: - Support Fforce() for GEMDOS HD emulated files and close at Pterm*()
210: all internal handles to emulated files program had left open
211: - Fix: cut file and dir names to 8+3 chars like all TOS versions do
212: - Fix: GEMDOS HD emulation overwrote last 28 bytes of basepage space
213: for the started process command line (with the program header)
214: - Fix: Fwrite() content wasn't flushed to disk on each write, so later
215: Fopen() + Fread()s calls on such files (if they were not closed
216: in the meanwhile) could get data that was out of date.
217: - Fix: Dfree() return value
218:
219: Emulator:
220: - Fix: problems with run-time CPU type changing
221: - Fix: MIDI IRQs were not enabled if MIDI was enabled at run-time.
222: MIDI toggling will now imply reset
223: - Much improved console redirection functionality and a separate --conout
224: option for it (--bios-intercept doesn't anymore imply console redirection)
225: - Fixed a bug with the axes' mapping in the joystick's detection
226: - Display handling:
227: - Fix: max resolution limit wasn't handled properly for ST mode.
228: - Don't change TOS-calculated font size for VDI mode.
229: - Setup NVRAM video mode based on VDI mode, when in VDI mode.
230: This makes VDI mode work with EmuTOS also under Falcon emulation
231: which is useful as EmuTOS doesn't support native VIDEL expanders
232: - Limit VDI screen memory usage to 300kB, this allows upto 2048x1200
233: monochrome and 1024x600/800x768 16-color VDI screens
234: - GEMDOS HD emulation:
235: - Fix: to DTA host filename cutting to 8+3 chars when whole filename
236: was < 12 chars (caused EmuTOS crash)
237: - Give warning if GEMDOS dir/file path exceeds 8+3 characters
238: (as those won't work with real TOS)
239: - New --gemdos-case option to specify whether new dir/filenames
240: are forced to be created in upper (default) or lower case
241: - Giving empty string as GEMDOS HD dir disables GEMDOS HD emulation
242: - SDL GUI:
243: - Fileselector has "CWD" button for changing to Hatari's work directory
244: - Fileselector remembers previous position which is nicer with
245: large directories
246: - Make the drive leds blink with a brighter green when the FDC is executing
247: a command
248: - Profiler:
249: - Fix: profiler assert on invalid PC register values
250: - Fix: profiler usage in debugger files invoked by breakpoints
251: - Fix: profiler CPU & DSP cycles information is for previous instruction
252: - Fix: WinUAE CPU requires cycles counter usage for getting current
253: CPU instruction cycles
254: - Profiler provides timing information, based on used cycles
255: - Profiler provides CPU instruction cache misses information when using
256: cycle-exact WinUAE CPU core (which is Falcon emu default)
257: - Profiler top instruction count/cycles/misses lists show
258: the related instructions
259: - For DSP, profiler adds min/max cycle difference info to disassembly
260: - New "addresses" subcommand can be used to see addresses through which
261: code passed during profiling (e.g. while program seems frozen, this
262: gives much better overview of code that is being run, than cpu trace)
263: - New "callers" subcommand lists all addresses from which loaded
264: symbols' addresses were "called" from. This way one can e.g. find
265: in which contexts interrupt handlers were called and it can be
266: used to construction program execution callgraph
267: - New "save" subcommand saves profile address and caller information
268: to given file, with extra information needed for post-processing
269: - New "stack" subcommand that can be used to get backtraces during
270: profiling with symbols, for ':noinit' backtraces
271: - Debugger:
272: - New ':noinit' and ':quiet' breakpoint options. Quiet option
273: removes most of breakpoint matching "noise" and ':noinit' breakpoints
274: can be used with "profile stack" command, to prevent profile data and
275: related callstack information from being reseted on breakpoint match
276: - "blitter" and "dsp" subcommand added to "info" command, to show
277: blitter register values and DSP state (e.g. stack content)
278: - "prg" subcommand added to "symbols" command, for loading debug
279: symbols from DRI/GST symbol table in last started program
280: - "step" and "next" commands added for single stepping CPU and DSP code
281: -> 's' shortcut is now for "step", not "save"
282: - "--disasm" option for selecting between UAE core and external CPU
283: code dissassembler and setting output option flags for latter
284: - When -D option is used, also undefined/illegal DSP instructions and
285: DSP stack under/overflows invoke debugger, not just CPU issues
286: - Fix: when several breakpoints should have triggered
287: on the same address, only first was handled
288: - Fix: after breakpoint, 'c <n>' continues one instruction too little
289: - Fix: tracking breakpoint values were updated only when all conditions
290: matched, now they can be also used together with other conditions
291: - Fix: info command crash (triggered on NetBSD)
292: - Fix: disassember output bug on NetBSD (usigned char < -1 test)
293: - Fix: info osheader and basebase subcommands under MiNT
294: - Fix: debugger history duplicates removal
295: - Fix: expression expanding CPU "pc" for DSP shortcut commands
296: - Fix: expression expansion messing lines in command line history
297: - Remote API debugger commands can also use expression expansion
298: - Both single and double quotes can be used to mark expressions
299: - In addition to text section offset, data and bss section offsets
300: can be given when loading symbols (useful for Devpac symbols)
301: - Output what value was set by options if it's not otherwise shown by UI
302: - New 'cpu' and 'dsp' options to 'history' command for tracing just
303: one of these processors on Falcon
304: - Function arguments are shown in traces for all non-MiNT GEMDOS calls
305: and subset of arguments are now shown also for AES calls (values in
306: intin array and strings in addrin array)
307: - Add NVRAM read & write tracing
308: - Support for the basic Native Features and --natfeats option to control it:
309: http://wiki.aranym.org/natfeats/proposal
310:
311: Windows specific changes:
312: - "-W" option added for opening a console window. Like on all other platforms,
313: "-D" will now just toggle CPU exception handling
314: - Fix: console stderr redirection (used invalid "wr" mode)
315: - Fix Windows localtime() not supporting dates before 1970:
316: - TOS not being able to access files with such dates, or further files
317: - causing IKBD emulation crashes (wasn't problem with Cygwin,
318: just with Mingw builds)
319:
320: Tool updates:
321: - New hatari-profiler.py script for post-processing output from
322: profiler's CPU and DSP profiling "save" commands:
323: profile save <filename>
324: dspprofile save <filename>
325: - With symbol address information it can provide function level
326: instruction, processor cycle & i-cache miss statistics
327: - With callers information it can create function call callgraphs
328: and create callgrind format files for Kcachegrind GUI
329: - New gst2ascii tool to extract DRI/GST symbol table from Atari program,
330: for use with the profile data post-processor
331: - Added scripts for converting symbol tables in Devpac 3 listings and DSP LOD
332: files to a format understood by Hatari debugger 'symbols' command,
333: and to clean 'nm' output of GCC & VBCC built a.out binaries for it
334:

1.1.1.15 root 565: ---------------------------
1.1.1.14 root 566:
567: Emulation:
568: - Alternative CPU core based on WinUAE for more accurate future
569: HW interaction emulation (see readme.txt on how to enable it)
570: - Use precise clocks values (as described in Atari's official schematics)
571: for better video/dma audio synchronisation (e.g. More Or Less Zero by DHS)
572: - DSP:
573: - Some DSP-timing sensitive Falcon demos that by luck happened to work
574: with Hatari v1.4, don't work anymore in v1.5 with the default UAE CPU
575: core. This is because while DSP cycle accuracy has been improved,
576: the default UAE CPU core isn't fully cycle accurate. The experimental
577: WinUAE core is needed to run them
578: - Undocumented 2 bit shift special case for DSP SSI <-> crossbar exchanges
579: in hanshake mode with 32 Mhz clock (fixes DSP MP2 player used in many
580: demos & programs, but that requires also using WinUAE core)
581: - Sound improvements:
582: - Major rewrite and accuracy improvements in STE DMA sound, including
583: emulation of the 8 bytes FIFO, giving results nearly identical to
584: a real STE (e.g. HexTracker by Paulo Simoes)
585: - Improved precision in sound emulation, with nearly no rounding errors
586: over successive VBL (correct sound latency on US TOS running at 60 Hz)
587: - By default mix 3 YM voices using a lookup table of values
588: measured on real STF to improve digisound (e.g. Flashback demo sound)

590: (some low period values were not correctly emulated)
591: - Video emulation on STF/STE:
592: - On STE, correctly shift display 8 pixels to the left when using
593: 224 bytes overscan
594: - Add support for spec512 mode in med res (fixes 'Best Part Of The
595: Creation' in 'Punish Your Machine', 'HighRes Mode' demo by Paradox)
596: - Correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed
597: in med res overscan (Hatari 1.4 handled only low res, fixes 'No Cooper'
598: by 1984, 'Best Part Of The Creation' by Delta Force)
599: - Precisely emulate the number of frames per sec (eg 50.053 fps in PAL
600: instead of the usual 50 Hz)
601:
602: Emulator:
603: - Atari program given as argument to Hatari will be automatically
604: started after TOS boots. GEMDOS hard disk directory can now be
605: give also as an argument, not just as a (-d) option
606: - TOS4 or --machine falcon option use enables DSP emulation now
607: (follow them with --dsp none to disable DSP emulation)
608: - Memory state saving and restoring fixes, especially for Falcon
609: - Crossbar state is included -> state file ABI break
610: - AVI recording options can be set in the new [Video] config file section

617: - Videl resolution change is done immediately, not 3 VBLs late
618: - Fix issues in switching between same sized VDI & TT resolutions
619: - SDL GUI improvements:
620: - DSP can be disabled from the GUI without needing to restart Hatari
621: - Disk access LED and desktop-resolution options
622: - AVI video length (mins:secs) is shown in titlebar during recording
623: - Option for cropping statusbar from videos & screenshots

641: in currently loaded program
642: - "aes", "vdi" and "gemdos" subcommands for "info". Without arguments
643: they will output information about corresponding OS part state,
644: with (a non-zero) argument, opcode/call name table is shown.
645: "video" subcommand for showing video related information.
646: "cookiejar" subcommand for showing cookiejar contents.
647: - "file" subcommand to "lock" that executes debugger commands from
648: given file when debugger is entered (or ":lock" breakpoint is hit)
649: - ":lock" option to breakpoints that will show (without stopping the
650: emulation) the same output as what's shown on entering the debugger
651: - ":file" option to breakpoints that executes the commands from
652: given file when the breakpoint is hit. This can be used to chain
653: debugger actions
654: - multiple breakpoints options can be specified per breakpoint
655: - parenthesis in "evaluate" command are used to indicate memory
656: accesses (instead of operator precedence like earlier)
657: - DSP and CPU code profiling functionality. Provides statistics about
658: profiled code (executed code address ranges, max and total counts
659: and cycles), lists addresses/instructions taking most cyles and if
660: symbols are loaded, what were the most used symbol addresses.
661: - Profiling information is also shown in disassembly output

679: - IDE improvements:
680: - Support for second drive (IDE slave)
681: - WIN_FORMAT command (allows HD Driver to format IDE drives)
682: - GEMDOS HDD emulation:
683: - Minor fixes to Fseek(), Fopen(), Fdatime() (e.g. Pure debugger works)
684: - On TOS v4 Fread() size arg is unsigned, on earlier TOS its signed
685: (bad code can use -1L to read whole file instead getting fail on TOS4)
686: - Prevent DTA and read/write functions accessing invalid memory areas
687: - Programs can now change read-only files to be writable
688: - Falcon sound emulation:

700: of horizontal scrolling/prefetch and linewidth
701: - when writing to $ff8205/07/09 on STE, correctly handle the case
702: where the write is made while display in ON
703: - LMC1992 emulation / STE sound filtering
704:
705: Emulator:
706: - Host mouse is centered to Hatari window on Falcon resolution changes
707: (helps in synchronizing host and emulated mouse positions)
708: - Toggling fullscreen doesn't unpause paused emulation
709: - Falcon/TT resolution zooming is now controlled by separate options for
710: monitor aspect ratio correction and maximum zoomed Hatari window size.
711: This can reduce Hatari window resolution size changes significantly and
712: makes e.g. FUN's Alive demo viewable in fullscreen mode. Limits for
713: window size are also checked to see whether ST/STE low rez should be
714: zoomed and how much of borders can be shown (when borders enabled)
715: - Split the Screen dialog into two separate dialogs, one for Atari
716: monitor emulation setup and one for Hatari window setup
717: - GEMDOS drive emulation:

728: from the GUI in addition to DD & SD images. After creating
729: new floppy image, one can directly insert it to A: or B:.
730: - Tracing for BIOS, XBIOS, GEMDOS and VDI traps gives in addition
731: to the opcode, also the name of the corresponding OS function
732: - Major debugger improvements:
733: - TAB-completion for debugger commands, command arguments and
734: symbol names. Requires readline library

749: entering the debugger, e.g. disassembly or memdump from given address.
750: "regaddr" argument does that from address pointed by given register
751: - improved register name handling + fixed DSP reg name matching
752: - if both sides of conditional breakpoint condition are identical, replace
753: right side with current value of given expression (e.g. if it's "d0",
754: use current D0 value). If the comparison is for inequality ("!"),
755: output the value & break only when the value changes from the previous
756: value (not original like with other comparisons). Symbols support
757: - ":trace" option to trace/output breakpoint hits without breaking
758: - breakpoints count hits and can be optionally removed after first hit
759: (":once" option) or triggered only on every Nth hit (":<count>" option)
760: - dsp/address command is a shortcut for conditional breakpoints and its
761: argument can be an expression (see "evaluate" above)
762: - Display DSP instructions cycle timings in disasm mode (in cycles)
763: - Configuration options for how many lines to disasm & memdump

977:
978: - This release brings you basic Atari TT and Falcon emulation!

1134: --------------------------
1135:
1136: - Some parts of the code accessed the SR directly to read the IPL -
