This file only contains user-visib more detailed description of changes between releases, read src/ChangeLog, and for the full picture, make a diff between releases. +User-visible changes in 0.8.29: + - UAE now understands the config options "hardfile2" and "filesys2" which + are used by E-UAE and WinUAE. + - RDB hardfiles are supported. + - Hardfile access is faster. + +User-visible changes in 0.8.28: + - Stability fixes - the GTK UI caused hangs on some systems. + - Sound code cleanup - several useless options (such as mono sound) removed. + +User-visible changes in 0.8.27: + - Better CPU type selection; now supports 68030, 68882, and more CPU/FPU + combinations. 68060 is nominally supported but I've not got it to work. + - Enhancements in stereo mixing support (configurable stereo separation and + mixing delay). + - UAE now gives up processor cycles when the emulated CPU encounters a STOP + instruction, even if configured for maximum CPU speed ("idle on stop"). + - Many improvements in the GTK user interface: + * Can now mount and change hardfiles. + * The ROM path is scanned at startup, and identified ROMs can be chosen + by name from a list. + * Default hardware configurations are provided so that e.g. a plain A500 + config can be set with just a few clicks. + * Screen size (and other parameters of the display) can be adjusted. + - On Unix systems, a system ROM directory is defined (typically + "/usr/share/uae/roms") where ROMs can be installed. This directory will + be scanned at startup. + - Mounted filesystems/hardfiles now support adjustable boot priorities. + - The p.OS port has been deleted on the grounds that the OS never got off + the ground and has been dead for about 10 years. + - Better compatibility with certain A4000 and A1000 versions of the + Kickstart. + +User-visible changes in 0.8.26: + - Compiles with modern gcc versions + - SDL graphics updated, this is now recommended over native X11 (since DGA + doesn't work with some graphics drivers these days). + - Random updates from WinUAE/E-UAE, including + * Sinc interpolation for audio output. + - Tries to use gettimeofday in preference to the CPU's rdtsc instruction, as + the latter isn't totally reliable on all machines. + - Fixed a bug when switching between Picasso and native modes. + User-visible changes in 0.8.25: - More merging with WinUAE; a lot of the input device code has changed - GUI cleaned up.
