1.1.1.2 ! root 8: Version 0.50 (2004-07-26):
! 9: --------------------------
! 10:
! 11: - A lot of internal code cleanup and bug fixes.
! 12: - Added a dialog for creating new blank floppy disk images.
! 13: - The source code has been optimized for better emulation speed.
! 14: - Added RS232 emulation (still very experimental and not very well tested! It
! 15: seems not to work reliable yet. Help for debugging is very appreciated!).
! 16: - Some bugs in the 68000 emulation have been fixed.
! 17: - The emulator now checks for double bus errors and stops the emulation if
! 18: necessary (instead of crashing the emulator).
! 19: - Timer-D is now patched correctly again.
! 20: - The old font has been replaced by two new fonts so that the GUI now looks
! 21: better in high resolutions.
! 22: - The fonts are now linked into the executable.
! 23: - Added support for DIM floppy disk images.
! 24:
! 25:
! 26: Version 0.45 (2003-10-30):
! 27: --------------------------
! 28:
! 29: - This is just a minor release on the way to version 0.50. It is not very
! 30: well tested, so be warned!
! 31: - New build system (with a "configure" shell script).
! 32: - A disc image destroying bug in the MSA compression function has been fixed.
! 33: - It is now possible to redirect the printer output into a file.
! 34: - Experimental MIDI output support.
! 35: - Added the possibility to save memory snap shots.
! 36: - Pending HBL and VBL interrupts are now emulated correctly (I hope).
! 37: - Some speed improvements.
! 38: - GEMDOS HD emulation now also works with EmuTOS.
! 39:
! 40:
1.1 root 41: Version 0.40 (2003-07-11):
42: --------------------------
43:
44: - Support for ZIP and GZIP compressed disk images!
45: - Configuration file support for loading and saving the emulator settings.
46: - Hatari now works on machines with Sparc CPUs, too.
47: - Fixed a problem that slowed down the emulator in monochrome mode when using
48: TOS 2.06.
49: - Inverted monochrome mode is now supported, too (some games like Maniac
50: Mansion use this).
51: - Added Mega-ST compatible real time clock (RTC) emulation.
52: - The GEMDOS HD emulation has been improved (it now also works with lower-case
53: file names) and many bugs have been fixed there.
54: - Improved keyboard mapping (added mapping via PC keyboard scancode and via
55: reloadable mapping files).
56: - The screen rendering routines have been generalized (less differences between
57: windowed and fullscreen mode).
58: - Hatari can now be cross-compiled, too. You can even compile it for MiNT now.
59: However, it does not run very well there yet.
60: - Support for RAM TOS images.
61: - Improved memory mapping (the different memory regions should now behave much
62: more like on a real ST).
63: - Improved M68k exceptions (bus errors and exception cycle timings).
64: - Fixed some bugs in the extended VDI resolution mode (now it is working with
65: EmuTOS, too).
66: - Some games that poll the write-protection signal of the FDC to check for
67: disk changes should now be working, too.
68:
69:
70: Version 0.30 (2003-03-12):
71: --------------------------
72:
73: - Some parts of the code accessed the SR directly to read the IPL -
74: however the UAE CPU core only updates the SR when doing a MakeSR() first.
75: So this is done in the affected code parts now, too.
76: - The IPL wasn't raised when a MFP interrupt occured - fixed now.
77: - Full screen resolution for ST-Low can now be selected from the screen setup
78: dialog.
79: - The IKBD emulation does not longer duplicate joystick fire buttons when
80: a game tries to use both, joystick and mouse
81: - Improved audio timer function - the code should now be a little bit faster.
82: - Resynced Hatari's UAE CPU core with UAE 0.8.22 - this fixes some bugs in 68k
83: instructions like ABCD and SBCD.
84: - Added patches for TOS 2.05 so that this TOS version should now work, too.
85: - Rewrote TOS patching routine. It is much more flexible now.
86: - Removed 0xa0ff opcode for VDI resolutions; using GEMDOS_OPCODE now instead.
87: - Fixed MMU RAM size configuration bug.
88: - Rewrote some more screen conversion functions in C.
89: - When a bus or address error occurred, the PC was often not set to the
90: right exception handler routine. This has been fixed now.
91:
92:
93: Version 0.25 (2002-12-30):
94: --------------------------
95:
96: - Patches for big endian systems (Spectrum 512 pictures are now working there).
97: - Hatari now also compiles and runs under Mac OS X.
98: - Blitter emulation has been added.
99: - There is now the possibility to save YM or WAV sounds.
100: - Big VDI resolutions (e.g. 800x600) are now supported, too.
101:
102:
103: Version 0.20 (2002-02-18):
104: --------------------------

133: --------------------------
134:
135: - Joystick emulation via cursor keys.

145: - Added some of the WinSTon patches Paul Bates recently published
146: at the WinSTon BBS (Thanks to Ladislav Adamec for the hint).
147: - Cleaned up the source tree a little bit.

163: - Adapted the UAE CPU. Now Hatari is able to boot a TOS 1.0x ROM, the
164: Desktop shows up, but no mouse and keyboard interaction yet.
165:
166:
167: Version 0.01 (2001-03-21):
