797: - Duochrome mode instead of monochrome for ST High
798: - Implementation of SampleHold in TT Hypermono video mode
799: - Sound changes :
800: - Better model of the YM2149 noise generation (no noticeable audible impact)
801: - Slightly better volume table (measured by Paulo Simoes on a real ST)

804: - Handle the IACK cycles during an exception for HBL/VBL
805: - ACIA/IKBD changes :
806: - Full implementation of the MC6850 ACIA, giving much more robust
807: IKBD emulation
808: - Better timings for all IKBD commands (measured on a real STF)
809: - Clock is handled internally in IKBD, host date/time is used
810: only to initialize RTC at boot. I.e. pausing emulation doesn't
811: cause time skips when unpausing
812: - Fix slow mouse when absolute mode is used with scale values
813: - MFP changes :
814: - Fixed priority errors when simultaneous interrupts happened
815: - MFP's IRQ should be delayed by 4 cycles before reaching the CPU

826: all internal handles to emulated files program had left open
827: - Fix: cut file and dir names to 8+3 chars like all TOS versions do
828: - Fix: GEMDOS HD emulation overwrote last 28 bytes of basepage space
829: for the started process command line (with the program header)
830: - Fix: Fwrite() content wasn't flushed to disk on each write, so later
831: Fopen() + Fread()s calls on such files (if they were not closed
832: in the meanwhile) could get data that was out of date.
833: - Fix: Dfree() return value
834:
835: Emulator:

847: which is useful as EmuTOS doesn't support native VIDEL expanders
1.1.1.20 root 848: - Limit VDI screen memory usage to 300kB, this allows up to 2048x1200
1.1.1.18 root 849: monochrome and 1024x600/800x768 16-color VDI screens
850: - GEMDOS HD emulation:
851: - Fix: to DTA host filename cutting to 8+3 chars when whole filename
852: was < 12 chars (caused EmuTOS crash)
853: - Give warning if GEMDOS dir/file path exceeds 8+3 characters
854: (as those won't work with real TOS)
855: - New --gemdos-case option to specify whether new dir/filenames
856: are forced to be created in upper (default) or lower case
857: - Giving empty string as GEMDOS HD dir disables GEMDOS HD emulation
858: - SDL GUI:

877: code passed during profiling (e.g. while program seems frozen, this
878: gives much better overview of code that is being run, than cpu trace)
879: - New "callers" subcommand lists all addresses from which loaded
880: symbols' addresses were "called" from. This way one can e.g. find
881: in which contexts interrupt handlers were called and it can be
882: used to construction program execution callgraph

893: blitter register values and DSP state (e.g. stack content)
894: - "prg" subcommand added to "symbols" command, for loading debug
895: symbols from DRI/GST symbol table in last started program
896: - "step" and "next" commands added for single stepping CPU and DSP code
897: -> 's' shortcut is now for "step", not "save"
898: - "--disasm" option for selecting between UAE core and external CPU
899: code dissassembler and setting output option flags for latter
900: - When -D option is used, also undefined/illegal DSP instructions and
901: DSP stack under/overflows invoke debugger, not just CPU issues

903: on the same address, only first was handled
904: - Fix: after breakpoint, 'c <n>' continues one instruction too little
905: - Fix: tracking breakpoint values were updated only when all conditions
906: matched, now they can be also used together with other conditions
907: - Fix: info command crash (triggered on NetBSD)

918: - New 'cpu' and 'dsp' options to 'history' command for tracing just
919: one of these processors on Falcon
920: - Function arguments are shown in traces for all non-MiNT GEMDOS calls
921: and subset of arguments are now shown also for AES calls (values in
922: intin array and strings in addrin array)
923: - Add NVRAM read & write tracing
924: - Support for the basic Native Features and --natfeats option to control it:
925: http://wiki.aranym.org/natfeats/proposal
926:
927: Windows specific changes:
928: - "-W" option added for opening a console window. Like on all other platforms,
929: "-D" will now just toggle CPU exception handling

931: - Fix Windows localtime() not supporting dates before 1970:
932: - TOS not being able to access files with such dates, or further files
933: - causing IKBD emulation crashes (wasn't problem with Cygwin,
934: just with Mingw builds)
935:
936: Tool updates:
937: - New hatari-profiler.py script for post-processing output from
938: profiler's CPU and DSP profiling "save" commands:

1.1.1.15 root 1181: ---------------------------
1.1.1.14 root 1182:
1183: Emulation:
1184: - Alternative CPU core based on WinUAE for more accurate future
1185: HW interaction emulation (see readme.txt on how to enable it)
1186: - Use precise clocks values (as described in Atari's official schematics)
1187: for better video/dma audio synchronisation (e.g. More Or Less Zero by DHS)
1188: - DSP:
1189: - Some DSP-timing sensitive Falcon demos that by luck happened to work
1190: with Hatari v1.4, don't work anymore in v1.5 with the default UAE CPU
1191: core. This is because while DSP cycle accuracy has been improved,
1192: the default UAE CPU core isn't fully cycle accurate. The experimental
1193: WinUAE core is needed to run them
1194: - Undocumented 2 bit shift special case for DSP SSI <-> crossbar exchanges
1195: in hanshake mode with 32 Mhz clock (fixes DSP MP2 player used in many
1196: demos & programs, but that requires also using WinUAE core)
1197: - Sound improvements:
1198: - Major rewrite and accuracy improvements in STE DMA sound, including
1199: emulation of the 8 bytes FIFO, giving results nearly identical to
1200: a real STE (e.g. HexTracker by Paulo Simoes)
1201: - Improved precision in sound emulation, with nearly no rounding errors
1202: over successive VBL (correct sound latency on US TOS running at 60 Hz)
1203: - By default mix 3 YM voices using a lookup table of values
1204: measured on real STF to improve digisound (e.g. Flashback demo sound)

1206: (some low period values were not correctly emulated)
1207: - Video emulation on STF/STE:
1208: - On STE, correctly shift display 8 pixels to the left when using
1209: 224 bytes overscan
1210: - Add support for spec512 mode in med res (fixes 'Best Part Of The
1211: Creation' in 'Punish Your Machine', 'HighRes Mode' demo by Paradox)
1212: - Correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed
1213: in med res overscan (Hatari 1.4 handled only low res, fixes 'No Cooper'
1214: by 1984, 'Best Part Of The Creation' by Delta Force)
1215: - Precisely emulate the number of frames per sec (eg 50.053 fps in PAL
1216: instead of the usual 50 Hz)
1217:
1218: Emulator:
1219: - Atari program given as argument to Hatari will be automatically
1220: started after TOS boots. GEMDOS hard disk directory can now be
1221: give also as an argument, not just as a (-d) option
1222: - TOS4 or --machine falcon option use enables DSP emulation now
1223: (follow them with --dsp none to disable DSP emulation)
1224: - Memory state saving and restoring fixes, especially for Falcon
1225: - Crossbar state is included -> state file ABI break
1226: - AVI recording options can be set in the new [Video] config file section

1230: in fullscreen instead of changing the resolution. On by default
1231: - User's desktop size is used as max limit for Videl zooming.
1232: Requires SDL >= 1.2.10
1233: - Videl resolution change is done immediately, not 3 VBLs late
1234: - Fix issues in switching between same sized VDI & TT resolutions
1235: - SDL GUI improvements:
1236: - DSP can be disabled from the GUI without needing to restart Hatari
1237: - Disk access LED and desktop-resolution options
1238: - AVI video length (mins:secs) is shown in titlebar during recording

1256: - TEXT, DATA and BSS variables for addresses of corresponding segments
1257: in currently loaded program
1258: - "aes", "vdi" and "gemdos" subcommands for "info". Without arguments
1259: they will output information about corresponding OS part state,
1260: with (a non-zero) argument, opcode/call name table is shown.
1261: "video" subcommand for showing video related information.
1262: "cookiejar" subcommand for showing cookiejar contents.
1263: - "file" subcommand to "lock" that executes debugger commands from
1264: given file when debugger is entered (or ":lock" breakpoint is hit)
1265: - ":lock" option to breakpoints that will show (without stopping the
1266: emulation) the same output as what's shown on entering the debugger
1267: - ":file" option to breakpoints that executes the commands from
1268: given file when the breakpoint is hit. This can be used to chain
1269: debugger actions
1270: - multiple breakpoints options can be specified per breakpoint
1271: - parenthesis in "evaluate" command are used to indicate memory
1272: accesses (instead of operator precedence like earlier)
1273: - DSP and CPU code profiling functionality. Provides statistics about
1274: profiled code (executed code address ranges, max and total counts
1275: and cycles), lists addresses/instructions taking most cyles and if
1276: symbols are loaded, what were the most used symbol addresses.
1277: - Profiling information is also shown in disassembly output
1278:
1279: Other changes:

1285: (hconsole is command line Python interface for Hatari remote API)
1286: - Support for plain Makefiles removed (except for internal tests),
1287: only CMake is used for configuring and building Hatari
1288: - CMake doesn't require anymore working C++, C-compiler is enough

1295: - IDE improvements:
1296: - Support for second drive (IDE slave)
1297: - WIN_FORMAT command (allows HD Driver to format IDE drives)
1298: - GEMDOS HDD emulation:
1299: - Minor fixes to Fseek(), Fopen(), Fdatime() (e.g. Pure debugger works)
1300: - On TOS v4 Fread() size arg is unsigned, on earlier TOS its signed
1301: (bad code can use -1L to read whole file instead getting fail on TOS4)
1302: - Prevent DTA and read/write functions accessing invalid memory areas
1303: - Programs can now change read-only files to be writable
1304: - Falcon sound emulation:

1309: - Max VDI rez increased to TT-hi size (1280x960)
1310: - 68020+FPU changed to 68EC030+FPU (no MMU 030) for Falcon and TT modes
1311: (Some Falcon programs didn't work with 020)
1312: - Video emulation on STF/STE:
1313: - correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed
1314: - add support for STE's 224 bytes overscan line without stabilizer
1315: - when reading $ff8205/07/09 on STE, take into account the value
1316: of horizontal scrolling/prefetch and linewidth
1317: - when writing to $ff8205/07/09 on STE, correctly handle the case
1318: where the write is made while display in ON
1319: - LMC1992 emulation / STE sound filtering
1320:
1321: Emulator:
1322: - Host mouse is centered to Hatari window on Falcon resolution changes
1323: (helps in synchronizing host and emulated mouse positions)
1324: - Toggling fullscreen doesn't unpause paused emulation
1325: - Falcon/TT resolution zooming is now controlled by separate options for
1326: monitor aspect ratio correction and maximum zoomed Hatari window size.
1327: This can reduce Hatari window resolution size changes significantly and
1328: makes e.g. FUN's Alive demo viewable in fullscreen mode. Limits for
1329: window size are also checked to see whether ST/STE low rez should be
1330: zoomed and how much of borders can be shown (when borders enabled)
1331: - Split the Screen dialog into two separate dialogs, one for Atari
1332: monitor emulation setup and one for Hatari window setup
1333: - GEMDOS drive emulation:
1334: - support long host directory names and much improved long filename support
1335: - convert host filename chars invalid in TOS to valid ones ('@')
1336: - use TOS filename matching instead of glob() (can match names with [])
1337: - Options for preventing floppy image (--protect-floppy) and GEMDOS
1338: emulated drive directory (--protect-hd) modifications
1339: - AVI file recording:
1340: - video can be stored as BMP or as PNG images
1341: - audio is stored as 16 bits stereo PCM
1342: - Statusbar shows CPU type & speed
1343: - Can create blank 2.88MB (ED) and 1.44MB (HD) floppy images
1344: from the GUI in addition to DD & SD images. After creating
1345: new floppy image, one can directly insert it to A: or B:.
1346: - Tracing for BIOS, XBIOS, GEMDOS and VDI traps gives in addition
1347: to the opcode, also the name of the corresponding OS function
1348: - Major debugger improvements:
1349: - TAB-completion for debugger commands, command arguments and
1350: symbol names. Requires readline library
1351: - "parse" command and --parse Hatari command line option to
1352: execute debugger commands from a file
1353: - "stateload" and "statesave" commands for memory snapshots
1354: - "trace" command for tracing what the emulated code does
1355: - "symbols" command for loading and listing CPU & DSP code & data
1356: symbols/addresses. Code symbols are shown on CPU & DSP disassembly
1357: and code & data symbols can be used in breakpoints
1358: - "evaluate" command for doing calculations. Register and symbol
1359: names in expressions are replaced by their values. '$' will be
1360: TAB-completed to last 'evaluate' command result
1361: - "cd" command to change Hatari work directory
1362: - "exec" command to execute shell commands (ENABLE_SYSTEM_DEBUG_CALL)
1363: - "info" command for showing Atari HW and OS information
1364: - "lock" command for setting what information is shown every time on
1365: entering the debugger, e.g. disassembly or memdump from given address.
1366: "regaddr" argument does that from address pointed by given register
1367: - improved register name handling + fixed DSP reg name matching
1368: - if both sides of conditional breakpoint condition are identical, replace
1369: right side with current value of given expression (e.g. if it's "d0",
1370: use current D0 value). If the comparison is for inequality ("!"),
1371: output the value & break only when the value changes from the previous
1372: value (not original like with other comparisons). Symbols support
1373: - ":trace" option to trace/output breakpoint hits without breaking
1374: - breakpoints count hits and can be optionally removed after first hit
1375: (":once" option) or triggered only on every Nth hit (":<count>" option)
1376: - dsp/address command is a shortcut for conditional breakpoints and its
1377: argument can be an expression (see "evaluate" above)
1378: - Display DSP instructions cycle timings in disasm mode (in cycles)
1379: - Configuration options for how many lines to disasm & memdump
1380: - Fix VBLs/s counting to work also when --run-vbls isn't used
1381:
1382: Other changes:

1385: for building Hatari in different directory from the sources
1386: - Removed autotools usage/support, added CMake "configure" script
1387: - Hatari remote control programs updates (see their own release notes
1388: for details)

1708: - This is just a minor release on the way to version 0.50. It is not very
1709: well tested, so be warned!
1710: - New build system (with a "configure" shell script).
1.1.1.5 root 1711: - A disk image destroying bug in the MSA compression function has been fixed.
1.1.1.2 root 1712: - It is now possible to redirect the printer output into a file.
1713: - Experimental MIDI output support.
1714: - Added the possibility to save memory snap shots.
1715: - Pending HBL and VBL interrupts are now emulated correctly (I hope).
1716: - Some speed improvements.
1717: - GEMDOS HD emulation now also works with EmuTOS.
1718:
1719:
1.1 root 1720: Version 0.40 (2003-07-11):
1721: --------------------------
1722:
1723: - Support for ZIP and GZIP compressed disk images!
1724: - Configuration file support for loading and saving the emulator settings.
1725: - Hatari now works on machines with Sparc CPUs, too.
1726: - Fixed a problem that slowed down the emulator in monochrome mode when using
1727: TOS 2.06.
1728: - Inverted monochrome mode is now supported, too (some games like Maniac
1729: Mansion use this).
1730: - Added Mega-ST compatible real time clock (RTC) emulation.
1731: - The GEMDOS HD emulation has been improved (it now also works with lower-case
1732: file names) and many bugs have been fixed there.
1733: - Improved keyboard mapping (added mapping via PC keyboard scancode and via
1734: reloadable mapping files).
1735: - The screen rendering routines have been generalized (less differences between
1736: windowed and fullscreen mode).
1737: - Hatari can now be cross-compiled, too. You can even compile it for MiNT now.
1738: However, it does not run very well there yet.
1739: - Support for RAM TOS images.
1740: - Improved memory mapping (the different memory regions should now behave much
1741: more like on a real ST).
1742: - Improved M68k exceptions (bus errors and exception cycle timings).
1743: - Fixed some bugs in the extended VDI resolution mode (now it is working with
1744: EmuTOS, too).
1745: - Some games that poll the write-protection signal of the FDC to check for
1746: disk changes should now be working, too.
1747:
1748:
1749: Version 0.30 (2003-03-12):
1750: --------------------------
1751:
1752: - Some parts of the code accessed the SR directly to read the IPL -
1753: however the UAE CPU core only updates the SR when doing a MakeSR() first.
1754: So this is done in the affected code parts now, too.
1.1.1.20 root 1755: - The IPL wasn't raised when a MFP interrupt occurred - fixed now.
1.1 root 1756: - Full screen resolution for ST-Low can now be selected from the screen setup
1757: dialog.
1758: - The IKBD emulation does not longer duplicate joystick fire buttons when
1.1.1.9 root 1759: a game tries to use both, joystick and mouse
1.1 root 1760: - Improved audio timer function - the code should now be a little bit faster.
1761: - Resynced Hatari's UAE CPU core with UAE 0.8.22 - this fixes some bugs in 68k
1762: instructions like ABCD and SBCD.
1763: - Added patches for TOS 2.05 so that this TOS version should now work, too.
1764: - Rewrote TOS patching routine. It is much more flexible now.
1765: - Removed 0xa0ff opcode for VDI resolutions; using GEMDOS_OPCODE now instead.
1766: - Fixed MMU RAM size configuration bug.
1767: - Rewrote some more screen conversion functions in C.
1768: - When a bus or address error occurred, the PC was often not set to the
1769: right exception handler routine. This has been fixed now.
1770:
1771:
1772: Version 0.25 (2002-12-30):
1773: --------------------------

1776: - Hatari now also compiles and runs under Mac OS X.
1777: - Blitter emulation has been added.
1778: - There is now the possibility to save YM or WAV sounds.
1779: - Big VDI resolutions (e.g. 800x600) are now supported, too.
1.1.1.23! root 1780: - Mouse grab shortcut (AltGr+M).
! 1781: - Fixed TOS v1.00 patching.
