327: - Duochrome mode instead of monochrome for ST High
328: - Implementation of SampleHold in TT Hypermono video mode
329: - Sound changes :
330: - Better model of the YM2149 noise generation (no noticeable audible impact)
331: - Slightly better volume table (measured by Paulo Simoes on a real ST)
332: - CPU changes :
333: - Added experimental MMU emulation for the 68030 mode
334: - Handle the IACK cycles during an exception for HBL/VBL
335: - ACIA/IKBD changes :
336: - Full implementation of the MC6850 ACIA, giving much more robust
337: IKBD emulation
338: - Better timings for all IKBD commands (measured on a real STF)
339: - Clock is handled internally in IKBD, host date/time is used
340: only to initialize RTC at boot. I.e. pausing emulation doesn't
341: cause time skips when unpausing
342: - Fix slow mouse when absolute mode is used with scale values
343: - MFP changes :
344: - Fixed priority errors when simultaneous interrupts happened
345: - MFP's IRQ should be delayed by 4 cycles before reaching the CPU
346: - MFP's IRQ signal was not correctly updated in some cases
347: - Handle the IACK cycles between CPU and MFP during an exception
348: - FDC changes :
349: - Better delays for all the GAPs inside a track
350: - Emulate the disk's rotation and its angular position to get
351: accurate delays when accessing a sector header
352: - Internal timer for FDC was wrong and sometimes slower than expected
353: - Correct delay for type I commands with "verify" bit=1
354: - GEMDOS HD emulation changes :
355: - Support Fforce() for GEMDOS HD emulated files and close at Pterm*()
356: all internal handles to emulated files program had left open
357: - Fix: cut file and dir names to 8+3 chars like all TOS versions do
358: - Fix: GEMDOS HD emulation overwrote last 28 bytes of basepage space
359: for the started process command line (with the program header)
360: - Fix: Fwrite() content wasn't flushed to disk on each write, so later
361: Fopen() + Fread()s calls on such files (if they were not closed
362: in the meanwhile) could get data that was out of date.
363: - Fix: Dfree() return value
364:
365: Emulator:
366: - Fix: problems with run-time CPU type changing
367: - Fix: MIDI IRQs were not enabled if MIDI was enabled at run-time.
368: MIDI toggling will now imply reset
369: - Much improved console redirection functionality and a separate --conout
370: option for it (--bios-intercept doesn't anymore imply console redirection)
371: - Fixed a bug with the axes' mapping in the joystick's detection
372: - Display handling:
373: - Fix: max resolution limit wasn't handled properly for ST mode.
374: - Don't change TOS-calculated font size for VDI mode.
375: - Setup NVRAM video mode based on VDI mode, when in VDI mode.
376: This makes VDI mode work with EmuTOS also under Falcon emulation
377: which is useful as EmuTOS doesn't support native VIDEL expanders
1.1.1.20! root 378: - Limit VDI screen memory usage to 300kB, this allows up to 2048x1200
1.1.1.18 root 379: monochrome and 1024x600/800x768 16-color VDI screens
380: - GEMDOS HD emulation:
381: - Fix: to DTA host filename cutting to 8+3 chars when whole filename
382: was < 12 chars (caused EmuTOS crash)
383: - Give warning if GEMDOS dir/file path exceeds 8+3 characters
384: (as those won't work with real TOS)
385: - New --gemdos-case option to specify whether new dir/filenames
386: are forced to be created in upper (default) or lower case
387: - Giving empty string as GEMDOS HD dir disables GEMDOS HD emulation
388: - SDL GUI:
389: - Fileselector has "CWD" button for changing to Hatari's work directory
390: - Fileselector remembers previous position which is nicer with
391: large directories
392: - Make the drive leds blink with a brighter green when the FDC is executing
393: a command
394: - Profiler:
395: - Fix: profiler assert on invalid PC register values
396: - Fix: profiler usage in debugger files invoked by breakpoints
397: - Fix: profiler CPU & DSP cycles information is for previous instruction
398: - Fix: WinUAE CPU requires cycles counter usage for getting current
399: CPU instruction cycles
400: - Profiler provides timing information, based on used cycles
401: - Profiler provides CPU instruction cache misses information when using
402: cycle-exact WinUAE CPU core (which is Falcon emu default)
403: - Profiler top instruction count/cycles/misses lists show
404: the related instructions
405: - For DSP, profiler adds min/max cycle difference info to disassembly
406: - New "addresses" subcommand can be used to see addresses through which
407: code passed during profiling (e.g. while program seems frozen, this
408: gives much better overview of code that is being run, than cpu trace)
409: - New "callers" subcommand lists all addresses from which loaded
410: symbols' addresses were "called" from. This way one can e.g. find
411: in which contexts interrupt handlers were called and it can be
412: used to construction program execution callgraph
413: - New "save" subcommand saves profile address and caller information
414: to given file, with extra information needed for post-processing
415: - New "stack" subcommand that can be used to get backtraces during
416: profiling with symbols, for ':noinit' backtraces
417: - Debugger:
418: - New ':noinit' and ':quiet' breakpoint options. Quiet option
419: removes most of breakpoint matching "noise" and ':noinit' breakpoints
420: can be used with "profile stack" command, to prevent profile data and
1.1.1.20! root 421: related callstack information from being reset on breakpoint match
1.1.1.18 root 422: - "blitter" and "dsp" subcommand added to "info" command, to show
423: blitter register values and DSP state (e.g. stack content)
424: - "prg" subcommand added to "symbols" command, for loading debug

717: for better video/dma audio synchronisation (e.g. More Or Less Zero by DHS)
718: - DSP:
719: - Some DSP-timing sensitive Falcon demos that by luck happened to work
720: with Hatari v1.4, don't work anymore in v1.5 with the default UAE CPU
721: core. This is because while DSP cycle accuracy has been improved,
722: the default UAE CPU core isn't fully cycle accurate. The experimental
723: WinUAE core is needed to run them
724: - Undocumented 2 bit shift special case for DSP SSI <-> crossbar exchanges
725: in hanshake mode with 32 Mhz clock (fixes DSP MP2 player used in many
726: demos & programs, but that requires also using WinUAE core)
727: - Sound improvements:
728: - Major rewrite and accuracy improvements in STE DMA sound, including
729: emulation of the 8 bytes FIFO, giving results nearly identical to
730: a real STE (e.g. HexTracker by Paulo Simoes)

736: (some low period values were not correctly emulated)
737: - Video emulation on STF/STE:
738: - On STE, correctly shift display 8 pixels to the left when using
739: 224 bytes overscan
740: - Add support for spec512 mode in med res (fixes 'Best Part Of The
741: Creation' in 'Punish Your Machine', 'HighRes Mode' demo by Paradox)
742: - Correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed
743: in med res overscan (Hatari 1.4 handled only low res, fixes 'No Cooper'
744: by 1984, 'Best Part Of The Creation' by Delta Force)
745: - Precisely emulate the number of frames per sec (eg 50.053 fps in PAL
746: instead of the usual 50 Hz)
747:
748: Emulator:
749: - Atari program given as argument to Hatari will be automatically
750: started after TOS boots. GEMDOS hard disk directory can now be
751: give also as an argument, not just as a (-d) option
752: - TOS4 or --machine falcon option use enables DSP emulation now
753: (follow them with --dsp none to disable DSP emulation)
754: - Memory state saving and restoring fixes, especially for Falcon
755: - Crossbar state is included -> state file ABI break
756: - AVI recording options can be set in the new [Video] config file section

763: - Videl resolution change is done immediately, not 3 VBLs late
764: - Fix issues in switching between same sized VDI & TT resolutions
765: - SDL GUI improvements:
766: - DSP can be disabled from the GUI without needing to restart Hatari
767: - Disk access LED and desktop-resolution options
768: - AVI video length (mins:secs) is shown in titlebar during recording

787: in currently loaded program
788: - "aes", "vdi" and "gemdos" subcommands for "info". Without arguments
789: they will output information about corresponding OS part state,
790: with (a non-zero) argument, opcode/call name table is shown.
791: "video" subcommand for showing video related information.
792: "cookiejar" subcommand for showing cookiejar contents.
793: - "file" subcommand to "lock" that executes debugger commands from
794: given file when debugger is entered (or ":lock" breakpoint is hit)
795: - ":lock" option to breakpoints that will show (without stopping the
796: emulation) the same output as what's shown on entering the debugger
797: - ":file" option to breakpoints that executes the commands from
798: given file when the breakpoint is hit. This can be used to chain
799: debugger actions
800: - multiple breakpoints options can be specified per breakpoint
801: - parenthesis in "evaluate" command are used to indicate memory
802: accesses (instead of operator precedence like earlier)
803: - DSP and CPU code profiling functionality. Provides statistics about
804: profiled code (executed code address ranges, max and total counts
805: and cycles), lists addresses/instructions taking most cyles and if
806: symbols are loaded, what were the most used symbol addresses.
807: - Profiling information is also shown in disassembly output
808:
809: Other changes:
810: - hmsa tool can create empty disk images in addition to converting
811: disks between ST & MSA formats

826: - Support for second drive (IDE slave)
827: - WIN_FORMAT command (allows HD Driver to format IDE drives)
828: - GEMDOS HDD emulation:
829: - Minor fixes to Fseek(), Fopen(), Fdatime() (e.g. Pure debugger works)
830: - On TOS v4 Fread() size arg is unsigned, on earlier TOS its signed
831: (bad code can use -1L to read whole file instead getting fail on TOS4)

846: of horizontal scrolling/prefetch and linewidth
847: - when writing to $ff8205/07/09 on STE, correctly handle the case
848: where the write is made while display in ON
849: - LMC1992 emulation / STE sound filtering
850:
851: Emulator:
852: - Host mouse is centered to Hatari window on Falcon resolution changes
853: (helps in synchronizing host and emulated mouse positions)
854: - Toggling fullscreen doesn't unpause paused emulation
855: - Falcon/TT resolution zooming is now controlled by separate options for
856: monitor aspect ratio correction and maximum zoomed Hatari window size.
857: This can reduce Hatari window resolution size changes significantly and
858: makes e.g. FUN's Alive demo viewable in fullscreen mode. Limits for
859: window size are also checked to see whether ST/STE low rez should be
860: zoomed and how much of borders can be shown (when borders enabled)
861: - Split the Screen dialog into two separate dialogs, one for Atari
862: monitor emulation setup and one for Hatari window setup
863: - GEMDOS drive emulation:
864: - support long host directory names and much improved long filename support
865: - convert host filename chars invalid in TOS to valid ones ('@')
866: - use TOS filename matching instead of glob() (can match names with [])
867: - Options for preventing floppy image (--protect-floppy) and GEMDOS
868: emulated drive directory (--protect-hd) modifications
869: - AVI file recording:
870: - video can be stored as BMP or as PNG images

875: new floppy image, one can directly insert it to A: or B:.
876: - Tracing for BIOS, XBIOS, GEMDOS and VDI traps gives in addition
877: to the opcode, also the name of the corresponding OS function
878: - Major debugger improvements:

880: symbol names. Requires readline library
881: - "parse" command and --parse Hatari command line option to
882: execute debugger commands from a file
883: - "stateload" and "statesave" commands for memory snapshots
884: - "trace" command for tracing what the emulated code does

886: symbols/addresses. Code symbols are shown on CPU & DSP disassembly
887: and code & data symbols can be used in breakpoints
888: - "evaluate" command for doing calculations. Register and symbol
889: names in expressions are replaced by their values. '$' will be
890: TAB-completed to last 'evaluate' command result
891: - "cd" command to change Hatari work directory
892: - "exec" command to execute shell commands (ENABLE_SYSTEM_DEBUG_CALL)
893: - "info" command for showing Atari HW and OS information
894: - "lock" command for setting what information is shown every time on
895: entering the debugger, e.g. disassembly or memdump from given address.
896: "regaddr" argument does that from address pointed by given register
897: - improved register name handling + fixed DSP reg name matching
898: - if both sides of conditional breakpoint condition are identical, replace
899: right side with current value of given expression (e.g. if it's "d0",
900: use current D0 value). If the comparison is for inequality ("!"),
901: output the value & break only when the value changes from the previous
902: value (not original like with other comparisons). Symbols support
903: - ":trace" option to trace/output breakpoint hits without breaking
904: - breakpoints count hits and can be optionally removed after first hit
905: (":once" option) or triggered only on every Nth hit (":<count>" option)
906: - dsp/address command is a shortcut for conditional breakpoints and its
907: argument can be an expression (see "evaluate" above)
908: - Display DSP instructions cycle timings in disasm mode (in cycles)
909: - Configuration options for how many lines to disasm & memdump

1123:
1124: - This release brings you basic Atari TT and Falcon emulation!
1125: Please note that both new emulation modes are still highly experiemental,
1126: some few games and demos work, but most still have more or less big
1127: problems.

1151: - Bugfix to GEMDOS path handling (Hatari SIGSEGV).
1152: - Bugfix to emulated memory initialization (4MB was cleared earlier, now
1153: exactly the amount set up for Hatari. Saves memory on embedded systems
1154: if less than 4MB is specified.)
1155: - Re-written command-line option handling.
1156: - (Again) lots of code const/static, type usage and indentation cleanup.

1170: instead of 384x267).
1171: - Fixed sync delay timings - sound should now be better (e.g. on Mac OS X).
1172: - Added basic support for compiling Hatari with MinGW.
1173:

1280: --------------------------
1281:
1282: - Some parts of the code accessed the SR directly to read the IPL -

1.1.1.20! root 1285: - The IPL wasn't raised when a MFP interrupt occurred - fixed now.
1.1 root 1286: - Full screen resolution for ST-Low can now be selected from the screen setup
1287: dialog.
1288: - The IKBD emulation does not longer duplicate joystick fire buttons when
1.1.1.9 root 1289: a game tries to use both, joystick and mouse
1.1 root 1290: - Improved audio timer function - the code should now be a little bit faster.
1291: - Resynced Hatari's UAE CPU core with UAE 0.8.22 - this fixes some bugs in 68k
1292: instructions like ABCD and SBCD.
1293: - Added patches for TOS 2.05 so that this TOS version should now work, too.
1294: - Rewrote TOS patching routine. It is much more flexible now.
1295: - Removed 0xa0ff opcode for VDI resolutions; using GEMDOS_OPCODE now instead.
1296: - Fixed MMU RAM size configuration bug.
1297: - Rewrote some more screen conversion functions in C.
1298: - When a bus or address error occurred, the PC was often not set to the
1299: right exception handler routine. This has been fixed now.
