53: - Added a dialog for creating new blank floppy disk images.
54: - The source code has been optimized for better emulation speed.

57: - Some bugs in the 68000 emulation have been fixed.
58: - The emulator now checks for double bus errors and stops the emulation if
59: necessary (instead of crashing the emulator).

66:
67: Version 0.45 (2003-10-30):
68: --------------------------
69:
70: - This is just a minor release on the way to version 0.50. It is not very

80:
81:
1.1 root 82: Version 0.40 (2003-07-11):
83: --------------------------
84:
85: - Support for ZIP and GZIP compressed disk images!
86: - Configuration file support for loading and saving the emulator settings.
87: - Hatari now works on machines with Sparc CPUs, too.
88: - Fixed a problem that slowed down the emulator in monochrome mode when using
89: TOS 2.06.
90: - Inverted monochrome mode is now supported, too (some games like Maniac
91: Mansion use this).
92: - Added Mega-ST compatible real time clock (RTC) emulation.
93: - The GEMDOS HD emulation has been improved (it now also works with lower-case
94: file names) and many bugs have been fixed there.
95: - Improved keyboard mapping (added mapping via PC keyboard scancode and via
96: reloadable mapping files).
97: - The screen rendering routines have been generalized (less differences between
98: windowed and fullscreen mode).
99: - Hatari can now be cross-compiled, too. You can even compile it for MiNT now.
100: However, it does not run very well there yet.
101: - Support for RAM TOS images.
102: - Improved memory mapping (the different memory regions should now behave much
103: more like on a real ST).
104: - Improved M68k exceptions (bus errors and exception cycle timings).
105: - Fixed some bugs in the extended VDI resolution mode (now it is working with
106: EmuTOS, too).
107: - Some games that poll the write-protection signal of the FDC to check for
108: disk changes should now be working, too.
109:
110:
111: Version 0.30 (2003-03-12):
112: --------------------------
113:
114: - Some parts of the code accessed the SR directly to read the IPL -
115: however the UAE CPU core only updates the SR when doing a MakeSR() first.
116: So this is done in the affected code parts now, too.
117: - The IPL wasn't raised when a MFP interrupt occured - fixed now.
118: - Full screen resolution for ST-Low can now be selected from the screen setup
119: dialog.
120: - The IKBD emulation does not longer duplicate joystick fire buttons when
121: a game tries to use both, joystick and mouse
122: - Improved audio timer function - the code should now be a little bit faster.
123: - Resynced Hatari's UAE CPU core with UAE 0.8.22 - this fixes some bugs in 68k
124: instructions like ABCD and SBCD.
125: - Added patches for TOS 2.05 so that this TOS version should now work, too.
126: - Rewrote TOS patching routine. It is much more flexible now.
127: - Removed 0xa0ff opcode for VDI resolutions; using GEMDOS_OPCODE now instead.
128: - Fixed MMU RAM size configuration bug.
129: - Rewrote some more screen conversion functions in C.
130: - When a bus or address error occurred, the PC was often not set to the
131: right exception handler routine. This has been fixed now.
132:
133:
134: Version 0.25 (2002-12-30):
135: --------------------------
136:
137: - Patches for big endian systems (Spectrum 512 pictures are now working there).
138: - Hatari now also compiles and runs under Mac OS X.
139: - Blitter emulation has been added.
140: - There is now the possibility to save YM or WAV sounds.
