1.1.1.18 root 626: Version 1.7.0 (2013-06-24):
627: ---------------------------
628:
629: Emulation:
630: - TT video emulation :
631: - Extend the ST palette registers from 9bit to 12bit for ST modes
632: - Duochrome mode instead of monochrome for ST High
633: - Implementation of SampleHold in TT Hypermono video mode
634: - Sound changes :
635: - Better model of the YM2149 noise generation (no noticeable audible impact)
636: - Slightly better volume table (measured by Paulo Simoes on a real ST)
637: - CPU changes :
638: - Added experimental MMU emulation for the 68030 mode
639: - Handle the IACK cycles during an exception for HBL/VBL
640: - ACIA/IKBD changes :
641: - Full implementation of the MC6850 ACIA, giving much more robust
642: IKBD emulation
643: - Better timings for all IKBD commands (measured on a real STF)
644: - Clock is handled internally in IKBD, host date/time is used
645: only to initialize RTC at boot. I.e. pausing emulation doesn't
646: cause time skips when unpausing
647: - Fix slow mouse when absolute mode is used with scale values
648: - MFP changes :
649: - Fixed priority errors when simultaneous interrupts happened
650: - MFP's IRQ should be delayed by 4 cycles before reaching the CPU
651: - MFP's IRQ signal was not correctly updated in some cases
652: - Handle the IACK cycles between CPU and MFP during an exception
653: - FDC changes :
654: - Better delays for all the GAPs inside a track
655: - Emulate the disk's rotation and its angular position to get
656: accurate delays when accessing a sector header

659: - GEMDOS HD emulation changes :
660: - Support Fforce() for GEMDOS HD emulated files and close at Pterm*()
661: all internal handles to emulated files program had left open
662: - Fix: cut file and dir names to 8+3 chars like all TOS versions do
663: - Fix: GEMDOS HD emulation overwrote last 28 bytes of basepage space
664: for the started process command line (with the program header)
665: - Fix: Fwrite() content wasn't flushed to disk on each write, so later
666: Fopen() + Fread()s calls on such files (if they were not closed
667: in the meanwhile) could get data that was out of date.
668: - Fix: Dfree() return value
669:
670: Emulator:
671: - Fix: problems with run-time CPU type changing
672: - Fix: MIDI IRQs were not enabled if MIDI was enabled at run-time.
673: MIDI toggling will now imply reset
674: - Much improved console redirection functionality and a separate --conout
675: option for it (--bios-intercept doesn't anymore imply console redirection)
676: - Fixed a bug with the axes' mapping in the joystick's detection
677: - Display handling:
678: - Fix: max resolution limit wasn't handled properly for ST mode.
679: - Don't change TOS-calculated font size for VDI mode.
680: - Setup NVRAM video mode based on VDI mode, when in VDI mode.
681: This makes VDI mode work with EmuTOS also under Falcon emulation
682: which is useful as EmuTOS doesn't support native VIDEL expanders
1.1.1.20 root 683: - Limit VDI screen memory usage to 300kB, this allows up to 2048x1200
1.1.1.18 root 684: monochrome and 1024x600/800x768 16-color VDI screens
685: - GEMDOS HD emulation:
686: - Fix: to DTA host filename cutting to 8+3 chars when whole filename
687: was < 12 chars (caused EmuTOS crash)
688: - Give warning if GEMDOS dir/file path exceeds 8+3 characters
689: (as those won't work with real TOS)
690: - New --gemdos-case option to specify whether new dir/filenames
691: are forced to be created in upper (default) or lower case
692: - Giving empty string as GEMDOS HD dir disables GEMDOS HD emulation
693: - SDL GUI:
694: - Fileselector has "CWD" button for changing to Hatari's work directory
695: - Fileselector remembers previous position which is nicer with
696: large directories

706: - Profiler provides CPU instruction cache misses information when using
707: cycle-exact WinUAE CPU core (which is Falcon emu default)
708: - Profiler top instruction count/cycles/misses lists show
709: the related instructions
710: - For DSP, profiler adds min/max cycle difference info to disassembly
711: - New "addresses" subcommand can be used to see addresses through which
712: code passed during profiling (e.g. while program seems frozen, this
713: gives much better overview of code that is being run, than cpu trace)
714: - New "callers" subcommand lists all addresses from which loaded
715: symbols' addresses were "called" from. This way one can e.g. find
716: in which contexts interrupt handlers were called and it can be
717: used to construction program execution callgraph
718: - New "save" subcommand saves profile address and caller information
719: to given file, with extra information needed for post-processing
720: - New "stack" subcommand that can be used to get backtraces during
721: profiling with symbols, for ':noinit' backtraces
722: - Debugger:
723: - New ':noinit' and ':quiet' breakpoint options. Quiet option
724: removes most of breakpoint matching "noise" and ':noinit' breakpoints
725: can be used with "profile stack" command, to prevent profile data and
1.1.1.20 root 726: related callstack information from being reset on breakpoint match
1.1.1.18 root 727: - "blitter" and "dsp" subcommand added to "info" command, to show
728: blitter register values and DSP state (e.g. stack content)
729: - "prg" subcommand added to "symbols" command, for loading debug
730: symbols from DRI/GST symbol table in last started program
731: - "step" and "next" commands added for single stepping CPU and DSP code
732: -> 's' shortcut is now for "step", not "save"
733: - "--disasm" option for selecting between UAE core and external CPU
734: code dissassembler and setting output option flags for latter
735: - When -D option is used, also undefined/illegal DSP instructions and
736: DSP stack under/overflows invoke debugger, not just CPU issues
737: - Fix: when several breakpoints should have triggered
738: on the same address, only first was handled
739: - Fix: after breakpoint, 'c <n>' continues one instruction too little
740: - Fix: tracking breakpoint values were updated only when all conditions
741: matched, now they can be also used together with other conditions
742: - Fix: info command crash (triggered on NetBSD)
743: - Fix: disassember output bug on NetBSD (usigned char < -1 test)
744: - Fix: info osheader and basebase subcommands under MiNT
745: - Fix: debugger history duplicates removal
746: - Fix: expression expanding CPU "pc" for DSP shortcut commands
747: - Fix: expression expansion messing lines in command line history
748: - Remote API debugger commands can also use expression expansion

753: - New 'cpu' and 'dsp' options to 'history' command for tracing just
754: one of these processors on Falcon
755: - Function arguments are shown in traces for all non-MiNT GEMDOS calls
756: and subset of arguments are now shown also for AES calls (values in
757: intin array and strings in addrin array)
758: - Add NVRAM read & write tracing
759: - Support for the basic Native Features and --natfeats option to control it:
760: http://wiki.aranym.org/natfeats/proposal
761:

763: - "-W" option added for opening a console window. Like on all other platforms,
764: "-D" will now just toggle CPU exception handling
765: - Fix: console stderr redirection (used invalid "wr" mode)
766: - Fix Windows localtime() not supporting dates before 1970:
767: - TOS not being able to access files with such dates, or further files
768: - causing IKBD emulation crashes (wasn't problem with Cygwin,
769: just with Mingw builds)
770:
771: Tool updates:
772: - New hatari-profiler.py script for post-processing output from
773: profiler's CPU and DSP profiling "save" commands:

1022: for better video/dma audio synchronisation (e.g. More Or Less Zero by DHS)
1023: - DSP:
1024: - Some DSP-timing sensitive Falcon demos that by luck happened to work
1025: with Hatari v1.4, don't work anymore in v1.5 with the default UAE CPU
1026: core. This is because while DSP cycle accuracy has been improved,
1027: the default UAE CPU core isn't fully cycle accurate. The experimental
1028: WinUAE core is needed to run them
1029: - Undocumented 2 bit shift special case for DSP SSI <-> crossbar exchanges
1030: in hanshake mode with 32 Mhz clock (fixes DSP MP2 player used in many

1032: - Sound improvements:
1033: - Major rewrite and accuracy improvements in STE DMA sound, including
1034: emulation of the 8 bytes FIFO, giving results nearly identical to
1035: a real STE (e.g. HexTracker by Paulo Simoes)

1041: (some low period values were not correctly emulated)
1042: - Video emulation on STF/STE:
1043: - On STE, correctly shift display 8 pixels to the left when using
1044: 224 bytes overscan
1045: - Add support for spec512 mode in med res (fixes 'Best Part Of The
1046: Creation' in 'Punish Your Machine', 'HighRes Mode' demo by Paradox)
1047: - Correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed
1048: in med res overscan (Hatari 1.4 handled only low res, fixes 'No Cooper'
1049: by 1984, 'Best Part Of The Creation' by Delta Force)
1050: - Precisely emulate the number of frames per sec (eg 50.053 fps in PAL
1051: instead of the usual 50 Hz)
1052:
1053: Emulator:
1054: - Atari program given as argument to Hatari will be automatically
1055: started after TOS boots. GEMDOS hard disk directory can now be
1056: give also as an argument, not just as a (-d) option

1067: Requires SDL >= 1.2.10
1068: - Videl resolution change is done immediately, not 3 VBLs late
1069: - Fix issues in switching between same sized VDI & TT resolutions
1070: - SDL GUI improvements:
1071: - DSP can be disabled from the GUI without needing to restart Hatari

1091: - TEXT, DATA and BSS variables for addresses of corresponding segments
1092: in currently loaded program
1093: - "aes", "vdi" and "gemdos" subcommands for "info". Without arguments
1094: they will output information about corresponding OS part state,
1095: with (a non-zero) argument, opcode/call name table is shown.
1096: "video" subcommand for showing video related information.
1097: "cookiejar" subcommand for showing cookiejar contents.
1098: - "file" subcommand to "lock" that executes debugger commands from
1099: given file when debugger is entered (or ":lock" breakpoint is hit)
1100: - ":lock" option to breakpoints that will show (without stopping the
1101: emulation) the same output as what's shown on entering the debugger
1102: - ":file" option to breakpoints that executes the commands from
1103: given file when the breakpoint is hit. This can be used to chain
1104: debugger actions
1105: - multiple breakpoints options can be specified per breakpoint
1106: - parenthesis in "evaluate" command are used to indicate memory
1107: accesses (instead of operator precedence like earlier)
1108: - DSP and CPU code profiling functionality. Provides statistics about
1109: profiled code (executed code address ranges, max and total counts
1110: and cycles), lists addresses/instructions taking most cyles and if
1111: symbols are loaded, what were the most used symbol addresses.
1112: - Profiling information is also shown in disassembly output

1120: (hconsole is command line Python interface for Hatari remote API)
1121: - Support for plain Makefiles removed (except for internal tests),
1122: only CMake is used for configuring and building Hatari
1123: - CMake doesn't require anymore working C++, C-compiler is enough

1160: - Falcon/TT resolution zooming is now controlled by separate options for
1161: monitor aspect ratio correction and maximum zoomed Hatari window size.
1162: This can reduce Hatari window resolution size changes significantly and
1163: makes e.g. FUN's Alive demo viewable in fullscreen mode. Limits for

1201: "regaddr" argument does that from address pointed by given register
1202: - improved register name handling + fixed DSP reg name matching
1203: - if both sides of conditional breakpoint condition are identical, replace
1204: right side with current value of given expression (e.g. if it's "d0",
1205: use current D0 value). If the comparison is for inequality ("!"),
1206: output the value & break only when the value changes from the previous
1207: value (not original like with other comparisons). Symbols support
1208: - ":trace" option to trace/output breakpoint hits without breaking
1209: - breakpoints count hits and can be optionally removed after first hit
1210: (":once" option) or triggered only on every Nth hit (":<count>" option)
1211: - dsp/address command is a shortcut for conditional breakpoints and its
1212: argument can be an expression (see "evaluate" above)

1428:
1429: - This release brings you basic Atari TT and Falcon emulation!
1430: Please note that both new emulation modes are still highly experiemental,
1431: some few games and demos work, but most still have more or less big
1432: problems.

1474: - Hatari shows now more of the bottom borden (screen size is now 384x276
1475: instead of 384x267).
1476: - Fixed sync delay timings - sound should now be better (e.g. on Mac OS X).
1477: - Added basic support for compiling Hatari with MinGW.

1585: --------------------------
1586:
1587: - Some parts of the code accessed the SR directly to read the IPL -
