1.1.1.7 root 22: Version 1.0.0 (2008-03-17):
23: ---------------------------
24:
25: - The user's configuration files are now located in the directory ~/.hatari/
26: instead of the $HOME directory itself.
27: - Improved VDI resolution mode (resolution can now be change in small steps).
28: - The 'Frame Skip 8' option can now be correctly selected, too.
29: - Fixed some bugs/problems in the GEMDOS HD emulation (with Fopen & Fcreate).
30: - Keyboard shortcuts for saving and restoring memory snapshots.
31: - Hatari can now be compiled with CeGCC, too.
32: - Fixed some problems with the FPU emulation. NeoN Grafix renders now right.
33: - Writing to floppy disk images works now also with TOS 4.0x.
34: - A lot of source code clean-up and beautification.
35: - Monochrome mode now runs in 71 Hz, and 60 Hz color mode now also really runs
36: with 60 Hz refresh rate.
37: - Fixed memory snapshot files (some important data has not been saved before).
38: - It is now possible to automatically load/save memory snapshots at start/exit.
39: - Fixed some bugs in the file selection dialog.
40: - Some minor improvements in the GUI: Improved text edit fields, "Cancel"
41: buttons can now be activated by pressing the ESC key, and Hatari asks the
42: user before resetting and quitting the emulator.
43: - The Hatari executable is now relocatable (so the RPM can be relocated, too).
44: - It's now possible to enable special trace output with the "--trace" option.
45: - The size of the borders can now be specified in the hatari.cfg file.
46: - Fixed Spec512 screen plotting on big endian machines.

55: - Ensure ACIA has consistent values when reset.
56: - More precise interrupt handling, allowing to mix CPU cycles and MFP cycles
57: with greater precision.
58: - Various improvements in MFP emulation (stop/start timer without writing to
59: data register, reading data register, handle pending cycles when timer
60: "wraps" (i.e. data register reaches 0), ...). Supports programs using some
61: very "fast" timers (Overscan Demos, ULM Demos) and requiring nearly cycle
62: exact synchronisation with the 68000.
63: - Mostly correct wait states when accessing sound registers (add wait state for
64: $ff8801/ff8803 when needed).
65: - Correct values of cycle counters read & write accesses for the most common
66: cases used for fullscreen/hardscroll.
67: - Correct values for Video_CalculateAddress, taking into account frequency and
68: left/right borders' state, needed for correct synchronisation between video
69: and cpu.
70: - Improve top/bottom border removal, including 60 Hz bottom border, as well as
71: "short" 50 Hz screen (171 lines)
72: - Support for all left/right border removal, including 0 byte lines.

78:
79: Version 0.95 (2007-05-12):
80: --------------------------
81:
82: - This release brings you basic Atari TT and Falcon emulation!
83: Please note that both new emulation modes are still highly experiemental,
84: some few games and demos work, but most still have more or less big
85: problems.
86: - Basic emulation of Falcon video shifter (Videl), NVRAM and DMA sound is in
87: place. The biggest drawback: There is no working Falcon DSP emulation yet.
88: - Screen/Shifter emulation timings have slightly been changed. Some things
89: now work better, some others work worse...
90: - Some patches for compiling on RiscOS and AmigaOS have been included.
91: - Compiling Hatari for Windows now works better.
92: - Added Hatari icon (hatari-icon.bmp).
93: - Fixed "movec" bug in 68020 CPU mode.
94: - Keyboard shortcuts for loading & saving memory snapshots (AltGr+k & AltGr+l).
95: - The built-in debugger has been slightly improved to be more user-friendly.
96: - Added "hmsa" tool - a little program for converting .MSA files to .ST and
97: vice versa.

108: - Bugfix to MFP, sound works now in more YMRockerz releases.
109: - Bugfix to GEMDOS path handling (Hatari SIGSEGV).
110: - Bugfix to emulated memory initialization (4MB was cleared earlier, now
111: exactly the amount set up for Hatari. Saves memory on embedded systems
112: if less than 4MB is specified.)
113: - Re-written command-line option handling.
114: - (Again) lots of code const/static, type usage and indentation cleanup.
115: - Preliminary support for TOS 3.0x and 030 TT software that runs in ST
116: resolutions and doesn't need PMMU.
117: - Native GUI for Mac OSX.

119: now works quite fine with AHDI 5 (but other HD drivers are currently not
120: supported).
121: - Joystick shortcut changed to toggle cursor emulation between ports 0 and 1.
122: - Keys for all Hatari shortcuts can now be configured from hatari.cfg.
123: - Added command line option for setting ST keyboard mapping.

126: - Fixed relative mouse event handling in zoomed low-rez.
127: - Hatari shows now more of the bottom borden (screen size is now 384x276
128: instead of 384x267).
129: - Fixed sync delay timings - sound should now be better (e.g. on Mac OS X).
130: - Added basic support for compiling Hatari with MinGW.
131:
132:

217: Mansion use this).
218: - Added Mega-ST compatible real time clock (RTC) emulation.
219: - The GEMDOS HD emulation has been improved (it now also works with lower-case
220: file names) and many bugs have been fixed there.
221: - Improved keyboard mapping (added mapping via PC keyboard scancode and via
222: reloadable mapping files).
223: - The screen rendering routines have been generalized (less differences between
224: windowed and fullscreen mode).

235:
236:
237: Version 0.30 (2003-03-12):
238: --------------------------
239:
240: - Some parts of the code accessed the SR directly to read the IPL -
241: however the UAE CPU core only updates the SR when doing a MakeSR() first.
242: So this is done in the affected code parts now, too.

254: - Fixed MMU RAM size configuration bug.
255: - Rewrote some more screen conversion functions in C.
256: - When a bus or address error occurred, the PC was often not set to the
257: right exception handler routine. This has been fixed now.
258:
259:
260: Version 0.25 (2002-12-30):
