1.1.1.7 ! root 7:
! 8: Version 1.0.0 (2008-03-17):
! 9: ---------------------------
! 10:
! 11: - The user's configuration files are now located in the directory ~/.hatari/
! 12: instead of the $HOME directory itself.
! 13: - Improved VDI resolution mode (resolution can now be change in small steps).
! 14: - The 'Frame Skip 8' option can now be correctly selected, too.
! 15: - Fixed some bugs/problems in the GEMDOS HD emulation (with Fopen & Fcreate).
! 16: - Keyboard shortcuts for saving and restoring memory snapshots.
! 17: - Hatari can now be compiled with CeGCC, too.
! 18: - Fixed some problems with the FPU emulation. NeoN Grafix renders now right.
! 19: - Writing to floppy disk images works now also with TOS 4.0x.
! 20: - A lot of source code clean-up and beautification.
! 21: - Monochrome mode now runs in 71 Hz, and 60 Hz color mode now also really runs
! 22: with 60 Hz refresh rate.
! 23: - Fixed memory snapshot files (some important data has not been saved before).
! 24: - It is now possible to automatically load/save memory snapshots at start/exit.
! 25: - Fixed some bugs in the file selection dialog.
! 26: - Some minor improvements in the GUI: Improved text edit fields, "Cancel"
! 27: buttons can now be activated by pressing the ESC key, and Hatari asks the
! 28: user before resetting and quitting the emulator.
! 29: - The Hatari executable is now relocatable (so the RPM can be relocated, too).
! 30: - It's now possible to enable special trace output with the "--trace" option.
! 31: - The size of the borders can now be specified in the hatari.cfg file.
! 32: - Fixed Spec512 screen plotting on big endian machines.
! 33: - Native screen conversion functions for 32 bpp host display mode.
! 34: - Reworked the command line options.
! 35: - Added missing read for "clr" in 68000 CPU mode.
! 36: - Cycle correct MULU/MULS/DIVU/DIVS in 68000 CPU mode.
! 37: - Support for 68000 instructions pairing
! 38: - Better emulation of exception stack frame (bus/address error), used in some
! 39: protections.
! 40: - Don't change illegal 68000 opcodes $8, $a and $c if no cartridge is inserted.
! 41: - Ensure ACIA has consistent values when reset.
! 42: - More precise interrupt handling, allowing to mix CPU cycles and MFP cycles
! 43: with greater precision.
! 44: - Various improvements in MFP emulation (stop/start timer without writing to
! 45: data register, reading data register, handle pending cycles when timer
! 46: "wraps" (i.e. data register reaches 0), ...). Supports programs using some
! 47: very "fast" timers (Overscan Demos, ULM Demos) and requiring nearly cycle
! 48: exact synchronisation with the 68000.
! 49: - Mostly correct wait states when accessing sound registers (add wait state for
! 50: $ff8801/ff8803 when needed).
! 51: - Correct values of cycle counters read & write accesses for the most common
! 52: cases used for fullscreen/hardscroll.
! 53: - Correct values for Video_CalculateAddress, taking into account frequency and
! 54: left/right borders' state, needed for correct synchronisation between video
! 55: and cpu.
! 56: - Improve top/bottom border removal, including 60 Hz bottom border, as well as
! 57: "short" 50 Hz screen (171 lines)

! 63:
! 64:
! 65: Version 0.95 (2007-05-12):
! 66: --------------------------
! 67:
! 68: - This release brings you basic Atari TT and Falcon emulation!
! 69: Please note that both new emulation modes are still highly experiemental,
! 70: some few games and demos work, but most still have more or less big
! 71: problems.
! 72: - Basic emulation of Falcon video shifter (Videl), NVRAM and DMA sound is in
! 73: place. The biggest drawback: There is no working Falcon DSP emulation yet.

203: Mansion use this).
204: - Added Mega-ST compatible real time clock (RTC) emulation.
205: - The GEMDOS HD emulation has been improved (it now also works with lower-case
206: file names) and many bugs have been fixed there.
207: - Improved keyboard mapping (added mapping via PC keyboard scancode and via
208: reloadable mapping files).
209: - The screen rendering routines have been generalized (less differences between
210: windowed and fullscreen mode).

221:
222:
223: Version 0.30 (2003-03-12):
224: --------------------------
225:
226: - Some parts of the code accessed the SR directly to read the IPL -
227: however the UAE CPU core only updates the SR when doing a MakeSR() first.
228: So this is done in the affected code parts now, too.

236: instructions like ABCD and SBCD.
237: - Added patches for TOS 2.05 so that this TOS version should now work, too.

240: - Fixed MMU RAM size configuration bug.
241: - Rewrote some more screen conversion functions in C.
242: - When a bus or address error occurred, the PC was often not set to the
243: right exception handler routine. This has been fixed now.
244:
245:
246: Version 0.25 (2002-12-30):
247: --------------------------
