1.1.1.10! root 5: User-visible changes in 0.8.12:
! 6: - Several bugfixes
! 7:

14:
1.1.1.8 root 15: User-visible changes in 0.8.10:
16: - Audio interpolation
17: - Bugfixes for
18: * disk emulation

26:
1.1.1.7 root 27: User-visible changes in 0.8.9:
28: - The filesystem emulation should be able to emulate an Amiga FS more
29: accurately. Script/Pure bits and filenotes are kept.
30: - Patrick Ohly contributed SCSI support (currently Linux only) that allows
31: you to (e.g.) use CD writers with the emulator.
32:
33: User-visible changes in 0.8.8:
1.1.1.9 root 34: - I'm sure there were some.
1.1.1.7 root 35:
1.1.1.6 root 36: User-visible changes in 0.8.7:
37: - Commandline and configuration file handling has been redone. The old
38: options are now longer supported
1.1.1.7 root 39: - Hardfiles and filesystems are called DHx: instead of UAEx:
1.1.1.6 root 40: - Filesystem emulation supports more 2.0+ packets
41: - FPU works again
42:
1.1.1.5 root 43: User-visible changes in 0.8.6:
44: - Black scanlines implemented ('D' modifier for "-O" option)
45: - Should no longer crash when resetting the emulation
46: - DOS port update
47: - Improvements in X11 and ncurses user interfaces.
48: - Sound can be re-configured at run-time in the UI.
49:
1.1.1.4 root 50: User-visible changes in 0.8.5:
51: - Prettier gtk user interface
52: - Swedish documentation by Jonas Holm Pileborg
53: - Might compile with BSD make
54: - The 68000 MOVEP instruction works properly
55: - Many Win32 code updates - it _might_ compile out of the box for you if
56: your compiler setup is identical to mine
57:
58: User-visible changes in 0.8.4:
59: - The option "-O" has two new modifiers, 'a' and 'p'.
60:
61: User-visible changes in 0.8.3:
62: - Amiga and GGI ports updated
63: - X11 version supports DGA and windowed mode in one binary, hotkeys, and a
64: mouse grabbing mode
1.1.1.3 root 65:
1.1.1.4 root 66: User-visible changes in 0.8.2:
67: - Should compile on *BSD and on non-x86 systems again.
1.1.1.2 root 68: - Better gtk detection (hopefully)
69: - Fixed bugs that made the low bandwidth feature and dithered color output
70: unusable in the X11 version.
1.1.1.4 root 71: - The X11 driver can now display 8 bit Picasso screens even on truecolor X
72: displays.
1.1.1.2 root 73:
1.1.1.4 root 74: User-visible changes in 0.8.1:
1.1.1.2 root 75: - BeOS update (Christian Bauer)
1.1.1.4 root 76: - New copper code that should be more exact and maybe a little bit faster.
77: - Picasso bug fixed that caused corruption of window scrollbars.
78: - Fix for problems in interlace modes on line doubled displays.
79: - The CPU emulation can try to approximate the speed of a 7MHz A500.
1.1.1.2 root 80:
1.1.1.4 root 81: User-visible changes in 0.8.0:
82: - Better support for some BSD variants.
1.1.1.2 root 83: - Fixed a display bug that caused dual playfield displays in high resolution
84: to look wrong.
85: - The gtk UI no longer crashes when the "-G" option is used.
86:
87: User-visible changes in 0.7.0:
88: - Picasso96 graphics card emulation by Brian King.
89: - All CPU emulations (68000, 68010, 68020, 68020 + FPU, 68000 compatible)
90: are now compiled into one binary and selectable at run-time.
91: - Many changes in hardfile support. Now you can mount several hardfiles in
92: arbitrary order. You can specify the geometry for every hardfile.
93: The hardfile device has been renamed to "uaehf.device". Please adjust your
94: MountList entry.
95: - Stereo sound support
96: - UAE has been ported to pOS by Samuel Devulder
97: - New sound back-end that just writes sound to a file.
98: - Improved serial support
99: - The XFree86 VidMode extension is supported; if you use it, the X11 version
100: will switch to the video mode that is "closest" to what you specified on
101: the commandline.
102: - Many minor and major bugfixes
103:
104: User-visible changes in 0.6.9:
105: - The sprite code finally seems to work now (well, mostly :( )
106: - Sprite-to-sprite collisions implemented
107: - EHB and dual playfield modes are faster on x86 systems.
108: - Disk changes should be detected again.
109: - Believe it or not, I think the reset and quit buttons in the UI actually
110: work this time.
111: - POSIX_PENGUINS for Linux systems with glibc-2.0. There's now real hope
112: that it speeds things up on SMP machines (it still slows down single
113: processor machines if it's enabled, though).
114: - The filesystem code should be somewhat more robust. It can also be set up
115: to run multi-threaded. That makes sense even on single processor machines.
116: - The old follow-mouse hack for the X version is disabled. There is now a
117: new Amiga program named "mousehack". Please put it in the directory you
118: use for harddisk emulation and put the command "run >NIL: mousehack" in
119: your startup-sequence.
120: - 4 or 8 MB chip memory are supported.
121: - Two joysticks are supported on Linux systems, as well as several
122: alternative keyboard "fake" joysticks (using two simultaneously is
123: possible). Also, two joystick buttons are now supported.
124: - The SVGAlib/DOS version user interface is a bit improved. It can now be
125: used during the emulation by pressing F11, e.g. for changing disks.
126: - For the non-DGA X11 version, the LOW_BANDWITH and DONT_WANT_SHM compile
127: options have been turned into the -L and -T run-time options.
128: - Linux/GGI port by Christian Schmitt/Stefan Reinauer (untested)
129:
1.1 root 130: User-visible changes in 0.6.8:
131: - This should contain all the necessary files...
132: - Bugfixes
133:
134: User-visible changes in 0.6.7:
135: - Some bugs in the new playfield code removed; some speed improvements
136: - New alternate user-interface for X (note the debugger doesn't completely
137: work yet). The Tk GUI is also improved. Note that I don't use either, so
138: there are no stability guarantees.
139: - The options "-d" and "-C" are replaced with "-O", which allows much better
140: control over the graphics display. The old options will continue to work
141: for a few more releases and will be removed after that.
142: - Yet Another Blitter Bug fixed (Sanity Arte demo)
143: - Blitter control by copper now works (would have worked before if I hadn't
144: forgotten the COPCON register)
145: - On Linux systems (running at least kernel version 1.3.something) UAE can
146: now be set up to run in two threads. That's only potentially useful on SMP
147: machines, it's a performance loss on other machines. It currently is most
148: probably a big performance loss even on SMP machines: The implementation
149: is very primitive. This is just to get started.
150:
151: User-visible changes in 0.6.6:
152: - Playfield hardware emulation almost completely rewritten. It _should_ be
153: somewhat more stable and bugfree, but there's no doubt that there are some
154: new fun and exciting bugs in this version.
155: Features: Interlace drawing merges two frames and should look better, plus
156: it now works with even frame skip values.
157: The copper is more accurate.
158: Sprite DMA works better (see Interference by Sanity)
159: Some other bugs removed.
160: - The spanish keyboard now has a "W".
161: - Nice pictures in the Tk GUI.
162: - The USER_PROGRAMS_BEHAVE compile-time option now "works" even if you don't
163: use the compiler.
164:
165: User-visible changes in 0.6.5:
166: - Bugfixes in the filesystem code and in the compiler
167: - There was some speed loss in 0.6.4, which should be fixed for the i386
168: versions. Actually, UAE won't run on a 386 anymore (uses the bswapl
169: instruction). It would be pointless anyway...
170: - The text user interface in the SVGAlib and DOS versions supports harddisks
171: better
172: - The XFree86 DGA extension is supported.
173: - Italian documentation by Paolo Besser.
174: - Spanish keyboard support for X; French keyboard updated
175: - I _hope_ that the X version UAE now always resets keyboard autorepeat.
176: - Option "-A" to control the accuracy of the emulation. Use "-A 0" to
177: restore the old behaviour, which is likely to be somewhat faster.
178: - Solaris sound should actually compile this time.
179: - The built-in debugger has a "M" command to search for sound modules.
180:
181: For versions earlier than 0.6.5, you'll have to read the ChangeLog to find out
182: what's new.
