806: - Implementation of SampleHold in TT Hypermono video mode
807: - Sound changes :
808: - Better model of the YM2149 noise generation (no noticeable audible impact)
809: - Slightly better volume table (measured by Paulo Simoes on a real ST)

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

834: all internal handles to emulated files program had left open
835: - Fix: cut file and dir names to 8+3 chars like all TOS versions do
836: - Fix: GEMDOS HD emulation overwrote last 28 bytes of basepage space
837: for the started process command line (with the program header)
838: - Fix: Fwrite() content wasn't flushed to disk on each write, so later
839: Fopen() + Fread()s calls on such files (if they were not closed
840: in the meanwhile) could get data that was out of date.
841: - Fix: Dfree() return value
842:
843: Emulator:

1.1.1.18 root 857: monochrome and 1024x600/800x768 16-color VDI screens
858: - GEMDOS HD emulation:
859: - Fix: to DTA host filename cutting to 8+3 chars when whole filename
860: was < 12 chars (caused EmuTOS crash)
861: - Give warning if GEMDOS dir/file path exceeds 8+3 characters
862: (as those won't work with real TOS)
863: - New --gemdos-case option to specify whether new dir/filenames
864: are forced to be created in upper (default) or lower case
865: - Giving empty string as GEMDOS HD dir disables GEMDOS HD emulation

879: - Profiler provides CPU instruction cache misses information when using
880: cycle-exact WinUAE CPU core (which is Falcon emu default)
881: - Profiler top instruction count/cycles/misses lists show
882: the related instructions
883: - For DSP, profiler adds min/max cycle difference info to disassembly
884: - New "addresses" subcommand can be used to see addresses through which
885: code passed during profiling (e.g. while program seems frozen, this
886: gives much better overview of code that is being run, than cpu trace)
887: - New "callers" subcommand lists all addresses from which loaded
888: symbols' addresses were "called" from. This way one can e.g. find
889: in which contexts interrupt handlers were called and it can be
890: used to construction program execution callgraph
891: - New "save" subcommand saves profile address and caller information
892: to given file, with extra information needed for post-processing

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

912: - Fix: after breakpoint, 'c <n>' continues one instruction too little
913: - Fix: tracking breakpoint values were updated only when all conditions
914: matched, now they can be also used together with other conditions
915: - Fix: info command crash (triggered on NetBSD)

926: - New 'cpu' and 'dsp' options to 'history' command for tracing just
927: one of these processors on Falcon
928: - Function arguments are shown in traces for all non-MiNT GEMDOS calls
929: and subset of arguments are now shown also for AES calls (values in
930: intin array and strings in addrin array)
931: - Add NVRAM read & write tracing
932: - Support for the basic Native Features and --natfeats option to control it:
933: http://wiki.aranym.org/natfeats/proposal
934:
935: Windows specific changes:
936: - "-W" option added for opening a console window. Like on all other platforms,
937: "-D" will now just toggle CPU exception handling

942: just with Mingw builds)
943:
944: Tool updates:
945: - New hatari-profiler.py script for post-processing output from
946: profiler's CPU and DSP profiling "save" commands:

1195: for better video/dma audio synchronisation (e.g. More Or Less Zero by DHS)
1196: - DSP:
1197: - Some DSP-timing sensitive Falcon demos that by luck happened to work
1198: with Hatari v1.4, don't work anymore in v1.5 with the default UAE CPU
1199: core. This is because while DSP cycle accuracy has been improved,
1200: the default UAE CPU core isn't fully cycle accurate. The experimental
1201: WinUAE core is needed to run them
1202: - Undocumented 2 bit shift special case for DSP SSI <-> crossbar exchanges
1203: in hanshake mode with 32 Mhz clock (fixes DSP MP2 player used in many
1204: demos & programs, but that requires also using WinUAE core)
1205: - Sound improvements:
1206: - Major rewrite and accuracy improvements in STE DMA sound, including
1207: emulation of the 8 bytes FIFO, giving results nearly identical to
1208: a real STE (e.g. HexTracker by Paulo Simoes)

1214: (some low period values were not correctly emulated)
1215: - Video emulation on STF/STE:
1216: - On STE, correctly shift display 8 pixels to the left when using
1217: 224 bytes overscan
1218: - Add support for spec512 mode in med res (fixes 'Best Part Of The
1219: Creation' in 'Punish Your Machine', 'HighRes Mode' demo by Paradox)
1220: - Correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed
1221: in med res overscan (Hatari 1.4 handled only low res, fixes 'No Cooper'
1222: by 1984, 'Best Part Of The Creation' by Delta Force)
1223: - Precisely emulate the number of frames per sec (eg 50.053 fps in PAL
1224: instead of the usual 50 Hz)
1225:
1226: Emulator:
1227: - Atari program given as argument to Hatari will be automatically
1228: started after TOS boots. GEMDOS hard disk directory can now be
1229: give also as an argument, not just as a (-d) option
1230: - TOS4 or --machine falcon option use enables DSP emulation now
1231: (follow them with --dsp none to disable DSP emulation)
1232: - Memory state saving and restoring fixes, especially for Falcon
1233: - Crossbar state is included -> state file ABI break
1234: - AVI recording options can be set in the new [Video] config file section

1239: - User's desktop size is used as max limit for Videl zooming.
1240: Requires SDL >= 1.2.10
1241: - Videl resolution change is done immediately, not 3 VBLs late
1242: - Fix issues in switching between same sized VDI & TT resolutions
1243: - SDL GUI improvements:
1244: - DSP can be disabled from the GUI without needing to restart Hatari
1245: - Disk access LED and desktop-resolution options

1264: - TEXT, DATA and BSS variables for addresses of corresponding segments
1265: in currently loaded program
1266: - "aes", "vdi" and "gemdos" subcommands for "info". Without arguments
1267: they will output information about corresponding OS part state,
1268: with (a non-zero) argument, opcode/call name table is shown.
1269: "video" subcommand for showing video related information.
1270: "cookiejar" subcommand for showing cookiejar contents.
1271: - "file" subcommand to "lock" that executes debugger commands from
1272: given file when debugger is entered (or ":lock" breakpoint is hit)
1273: - ":lock" option to breakpoints that will show (without stopping the
1274: emulation) the same output as what's shown on entering the debugger
1275: - ":file" option to breakpoints that executes the commands from
1276: given file when the breakpoint is hit. This can be used to chain
1277: debugger actions
1278: - multiple breakpoints options can be specified per breakpoint
1279: - parenthesis in "evaluate" command are used to indicate memory
1280: accesses (instead of operator precedence like earlier)
1281: - DSP and CPU code profiling functionality. Provides statistics about
1282: profiled code (executed code address ranges, max and total counts
1283: and cycles), lists addresses/instructions taking most cyles and if
1284: symbols are loaded, what were the most used symbol addresses.
1285: - Profiling information is also shown in disassembly output

1293: (hconsole is command line Python interface for Hatari remote API)
1294: - Support for plain Makefiles removed (except for internal tests),
1295: only CMake is used for configuring and building Hatari
1296: - CMake doesn't require anymore working C++, C-compiler is enough

1306: - GEMDOS HDD emulation:
1307: - Minor fixes to Fseek(), Fopen(), Fdatime() (e.g. Pure debugger works)
1308: - On TOS v4 Fread() size arg is unsigned, on earlier TOS its signed
1309: (bad code can use -1L to read whole file instead getting fail on TOS4)
1310: - Prevent DTA and read/write functions accessing invalid memory areas

1321: - correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed
1322: - add support for STE's 224 bytes overscan line without stabilizer
1323: - when reading $ff8205/07/09 on STE, take into account the value
1324: of horizontal scrolling/prefetch and linewidth
1325: - when writing to $ff8205/07/09 on STE, correctly handle the case
1326: where the write is made while display in ON
1327: - LMC1992 emulation / STE sound filtering
1328:
1329: Emulator:
1330: - Host mouse is centered to Hatari window on Falcon resolution changes
1331: (helps in synchronizing host and emulated mouse positions)
1332: - Toggling fullscreen doesn't unpause paused emulation
1333: - Falcon/TT resolution zooming is now controlled by separate options for
1334: monitor aspect ratio correction and maximum zoomed Hatari window size.
1335: This can reduce Hatari window resolution size changes significantly and
1336: makes e.g. FUN's Alive demo viewable in fullscreen mode. Limits for
1337: window size are also checked to see whether ST/STE low rez should be
1338: zoomed and how much of borders can be shown (when borders enabled)
1339: - Split the Screen dialog into two separate dialogs, one for Atari
1340: monitor emulation setup and one for Hatari window setup
1341: - GEMDOS drive emulation:
1342: - support long host directory names and much improved long filename support
1343: - convert host filename chars invalid in TOS to valid ones ('@')
1344: - use TOS filename matching instead of glob() (can match names with [])
1345: - Options for preventing floppy image (--protect-floppy) and GEMDOS
1346: emulated drive directory (--protect-hd) modifications
1347: - AVI file recording:

1350: - Statusbar shows CPU type & speed
1351: - Can create blank 2.88MB (ED) and 1.44MB (HD) floppy images
1352: from the GUI in addition to DD & SD images. After creating
1353: new floppy image, one can directly insert it to A: or B:.
1354: - Tracing for BIOS, XBIOS, GEMDOS and VDI traps gives in addition
1355: to the opcode, also the name of the corresponding OS function
1356: - Major debugger improvements:
1357: - TAB-completion for debugger commands, command arguments and
1358: symbol names. Requires readline library
1359: - "parse" command and --parse Hatari command line option to
1360: execute debugger commands from a file
1361: - "stateload" and "statesave" commands for memory snapshots
1362: - "trace" command for tracing what the emulated code does
1363: - "symbols" command for loading and listing CPU & DSP code & data
1364: symbols/addresses. Code symbols are shown on CPU & DSP disassembly
1365: and code & data symbols can be used in breakpoints
1366: - "evaluate" command for doing calculations. Register and symbol
1367: names in expressions are replaced by their values. '$' will be
1368: TAB-completed to last 'evaluate' command result
1369: - "cd" command to change Hatari work directory
1370: - "exec" command to execute shell commands (ENABLE_SYSTEM_DEBUG_CALL)
1371: - "info" command for showing Atari HW and OS information
1372: - "lock" command for setting what information is shown every time on
1373: entering the debugger, e.g. disassembly or memdump from given address.
1374: "regaddr" argument does that from address pointed by given register
1375: - improved register name handling + fixed DSP reg name matching
1376: - if both sides of conditional breakpoint condition are identical, replace
1377: right side with current value of given expression (e.g. if it's "d0",
1378: use current D0 value). If the comparison is for inequality ("!"),
1379: output the value & break only when the value changes from the previous
1380: value (not original like with other comparisons). Symbols support
1381: - ":trace" option to trace/output breakpoint hits without breaking
1382: - breakpoints count hits and can be optionally removed after first hit
1383: (":once" option) or triggered only on every Nth hit (":<count>" option)
1384: - dsp/address command is a shortcut for conditional breakpoints and its
1385: argument can be an expression (see "evaluate" above)
1386: - Display DSP instructions cycle timings in disasm mode (in cycles)
1387: - Configuration options for how many lines to disasm & memdump
1388: - Fix VBLs/s counting to work also when --run-vbls isn't used
1389:
1390: Other changes:

1393: for building Hatari in different directory from the sources
1394: - Removed autotools usage/support, added CMake "configure" script
1395: - Hatari remote control programs updates (see their own release notes
1396: for details)

1716: - This is just a minor release on the way to version 0.50. It is not very
1717: well tested, so be warned!
1718: - New build system (with a "configure" shell script).
1.1.1.5 root 1719: - A disk image destroying bug in the MSA compression function has been fixed.
1.1.1.2 root 1720: - It is now possible to redirect the printer output into a file.
1721: - Experimental MIDI output support.
1722: - Added the possibility to save memory snap shots.
1723: - Pending HBL and VBL interrupts are now emulated correctly (I hope).
1724: - Some speed improvements.
1725: - GEMDOS HD emulation now also works with EmuTOS.
1726:
1727:
1.1 root 1728: Version 0.40 (2003-07-11):
1729: --------------------------
1730:
1731: - Support for ZIP and GZIP compressed disk images!
1732: - Configuration file support for loading and saving the emulator settings.
1733: - Hatari now works on machines with Sparc CPUs, too.
1734: - Fixed a problem that slowed down the emulator in monochrome mode when using
1735: TOS 2.06.
1736: - Inverted monochrome mode is now supported, too (some games like Maniac
1737: Mansion use this).
1738: - Added Mega-ST compatible real time clock (RTC) emulation.
1739: - The GEMDOS HD emulation has been improved (it now also works with lower-case
1740: file names) and many bugs have been fixed there.
1741: - Improved keyboard mapping (added mapping via PC keyboard scancode and via
1742: reloadable mapping files).
1743: - The screen rendering routines have been generalized (less differences between
1744: windowed and fullscreen mode).
1745: - Hatari can now be cross-compiled, too. You can even compile it for MiNT now.
1746: However, it does not run very well there yet.
1747: - Support for RAM TOS images.
1748: - Improved memory mapping (the different memory regions should now behave much
1749: more like on a real ST).
1750: - Improved M68k exceptions (bus errors and exception cycle timings).
1751: - Fixed some bugs in the extended VDI resolution mode (now it is working with
1752: EmuTOS, too).
1753: - Some games that poll the write-protection signal of the FDC to check for
1754: disk changes should now be working, too.
1755:
1756:
1757: Version 0.30 (2003-03-12):
1758: --------------------------
1759:
1760: - Some parts of the code accessed the SR directly to read the IPL -
1761: however the UAE CPU core only updates the SR when doing a MakeSR() first.
1762: So this is done in the affected code parts now, too.
1.1.1.20 root 1763: - The IPL wasn't raised when a MFP interrupt occurred - fixed now.
1.1 root 1764: - Full screen resolution for ST-Low can now be selected from the screen setup
1765: dialog.
1766: - The IKBD emulation does not longer duplicate joystick fire buttons when
1.1.1.9 root 1767: a game tries to use both, joystick and mouse
1.1 root 1768: - Improved audio timer function - the code should now be a little bit faster.
1769: - Resynced Hatari's UAE CPU core with UAE 0.8.22 - this fixes some bugs in 68k
1770: instructions like ABCD and SBCD.
1771: - Added patches for TOS 2.05 so that this TOS version should now work, too.
1772: - Rewrote TOS patching routine. It is much more flexible now.
1773: - Removed 0xa0ff opcode for VDI resolutions; using GEMDOS_OPCODE now instead.
1774: - Fixed MMU RAM size configuration bug.
1775: - Rewrote some more screen conversion functions in C.
1776: - When a bus or address error occurred, the PC was often not set to the
1777: right exception handler routine. This has been fixed now.
1778:
1779:
1780: Version 0.25 (2002-12-30):
1781: --------------------------

1784: - Hatari now also compiles and runs under Mac OS X.
1785: - Blitter emulation has been added.
1786: - There is now the possibility to save YM or WAV sounds.
1787: - Big VDI resolutions (e.g. 800x600) are now supported, too.
1.1.1.23 root 1788: - Mouse grab shortcut (AltGr+M).
1789: - Fixed TOS v1.00 patching.
1.1 root 1790:
