! 11: - By default the emulator will try to approximate an A500 in CPU speed.
! 12: This setting existed before, but it's a bit more accurate now and on by
! 13: default.
! 14: - There is a new option to control the number of emulated disk drives.

45: - The filesystem emulation should be able to emulate an Amiga FS more
46: accurately. Script/Pure bits and filenotes are kept.

48: you to (e.g.) use CD writers with the emulator.
49:

1.1.1.9 root 51: - I'm sure there were some.
1.1.1.7 root 52:

54: - Commandline and configuration file handling has been redone. The old
55: options are now longer supported

63: - DOS port update
64: - Improvements in X11 and ncurses user interfaces.
65: - Sound can be re-configured at run-time in the UI.
66:
1.1.1.4 root 67: User-visible changes in 0.8.5:
68: - Prettier gtk user interface
69: - Swedish documentation by Jonas Holm Pileborg
70: - Might compile with BSD make
71: - The 68000 MOVEP instruction works properly

73: your compiler setup is identical to mine
74:
75: User-visible changes in 0.8.4:
76: - The option "-O" has two new modifiers, 'a' and 'p'.
77:
78: User-visible changes in 0.8.3:
79: - Amiga and GGI ports updated
80: - X11 version supports DGA and windowed mode in one binary, hotkeys, and a
81: mouse grabbing mode
1.1.1.3 root 82:
1.1.1.4 root 83: User-visible changes in 0.8.2:
84: - Should compile on *BSD and on non-x86 systems again.
1.1.1.2 root 85: - Better gtk detection (hopefully)
86: - Fixed bugs that made the low bandwidth feature and dithered color output
87: unusable in the X11 version.
1.1.1.4 root 88: - The X11 driver can now display 8 bit Picasso screens even on truecolor X
89: displays.
1.1.1.2 root 90:
1.1.1.4 root 91: User-visible changes in 0.8.1:
1.1.1.2 root 92: - BeOS update (Christian Bauer)
1.1.1.4 root 93: - New copper code that should be more exact and maybe a little bit faster.
94: - Picasso bug fixed that caused corruption of window scrollbars.
95: - Fix for problems in interlace modes on line doubled displays.
96: - The CPU emulation can try to approximate the speed of a 7MHz A500.
1.1.1.2 root 97:
1.1.1.4 root 98: User-visible changes in 0.8.0:
99: - Better support for some BSD variants.
1.1.1.2 root 100: - Fixed a display bug that caused dual playfield displays in high resolution
101: to look wrong.
102: - The gtk UI no longer crashes when the "-G" option is used.
103:
104: User-visible changes in 0.7.0:
105: - Picasso96 graphics card emulation by Brian King.
106: - All CPU emulations (68000, 68010, 68020, 68020 + FPU, 68000 compatible)
107: are now compiled into one binary and selectable at run-time.
108: - Many changes in hardfile support. Now you can mount several hardfiles in
109: arbitrary order. You can specify the geometry for every hardfile.
110: The hardfile device has been renamed to "uaehf.device". Please adjust your
111: MountList entry.
112: - Stereo sound support
113: - UAE has been ported to pOS by Samuel Devulder
114: - New sound back-end that just writes sound to a file.
115: - Improved serial support
116: - The XFree86 VidMode extension is supported; if you use it, the X11 version
117: will switch to the video mode that is "closest" to what you specified on
118: the commandline.
119: - Many minor and major bugfixes
120:
121: User-visible changes in 0.6.9:
122: - The sprite code finally seems to work now (well, mostly :( )
123: - Sprite-to-sprite collisions implemented
124: - EHB and dual playfield modes are faster on x86 systems.
125: - Disk changes should be detected again.
126: - Believe it or not, I think the reset and quit buttons in the UI actually
127: work this time.
128: - POSIX_PENGUINS for Linux systems with glibc-2.0. There's now real hope
129: that it speeds things up on SMP machines (it still slows down single
130: processor machines if it's enabled, though).
131: - The filesystem code should be somewhat more robust. It can also be set up
132: to run multi-threaded. That makes sense even on single processor machines.
133: - The old follow-mouse hack for the X version is disabled. There is now a
134: new Amiga program named "mousehack". Please put it in the directory you
135: use for harddisk emulation and put the command "run >NIL: mousehack" in
136: your startup-sequence.
137: - 4 or 8 MB chip memory are supported.
138: - Two joysticks are supported on Linux systems, as well as several
139: alternative keyboard "fake" joysticks (using two simultaneously is
140: possible). Also, two joystick buttons are now supported.
141: - The SVGAlib/DOS version user interface is a bit improved. It can now be
142: used during the emulation by pressing F11, e.g. for changing disks.
143: - For the non-DGA X11 version, the LOW_BANDWITH and DONT_WANT_SHM compile
144: options have been turned into the -L and -T run-time options.
145: - Linux/GGI port by Christian Schmitt/Stefan Reinauer (untested)
146:
1.1 root 147: User-visible changes in 0.6.8:
148: - This should contain all the necessary files...
149: - Bugfixes
150:
151: User-visible changes in 0.6.7:
152: - Some bugs in the new playfield code removed; some speed improvements
153: - New alternate user-interface for X (note the debugger doesn't completely
154: work yet). The Tk GUI is also improved. Note that I don't use either, so
155: there are no stability guarantees.
156: - The options "-d" and "-C" are replaced with "-O", which allows much better
157: control over the graphics display. The old options will continue to work
158: for a few more releases and will be removed after that.
159: - Yet Another Blitter Bug fixed (Sanity Arte demo)
160: - Blitter control by copper now works (would have worked before if I hadn't
161: forgotten the COPCON register)
162: - On Linux systems (running at least kernel version 1.3.something) UAE can
163: now be set up to run in two threads. That's only potentially useful on SMP
164: machines, it's a performance loss on other machines. It currently is most
165: probably a big performance loss even on SMP machines: The implementation
166: is very primitive. This is just to get started.
167:
168: User-visible changes in 0.6.6:
169: - Playfield hardware emulation almost completely rewritten. It _should_ be
170: somewhat more stable and bugfree, but there's no doubt that there are some
171: new fun and exciting bugs in this version.
172: Features: Interlace drawing merges two frames and should look better, plus
173: it now works with even frame skip values.
174: The copper is more accurate.
175: Sprite DMA works better (see Interference by Sanity)
176: Some other bugs removed.
177: - The spanish keyboard now has a "W".
178: - Nice pictures in the Tk GUI.
179: - The USER_PROGRAMS_BEHAVE compile-time option now "works" even if you don't
180: use the compiler.
181:
182: User-visible changes in 0.6.5:
183: - Bugfixes in the filesystem code and in the compiler
184: - There was some speed loss in 0.6.4, which should be fixed for the i386
185: versions. Actually, UAE won't run on a 386 anymore (uses the bswapl
186: instruction). It would be pointless anyway...
187: - The text user interface in the SVGAlib and DOS versions supports harddisks
188: better
189: - The XFree86 DGA extension is supported.
190: - Italian documentation by Paolo Besser.
191: - Spanish keyboard support for X; French keyboard updated
192: - I _hope_ that the X version UAE now always resets keyboard autorepeat.
193: - Option "-A" to control the accuracy of the emulation. Use "-A 0" to
194: restore the old behaviour, which is likely to be somewhat faster.
195: - Solaris sound should actually compile this time.
196: - The built-in debugger has a "M" command to search for sound modules.
197:
198: For versions earlier than 0.6.5, you'll have to read the ChangeLog to find out
199: what's new.
