1.1.1.13! root 5: User-visible changes in 0.8.15:
! 6: - A few changes in the core of the custom chip emulation; this should mean
! 7: more accuracy in general, but likely also a few new bugs in this version.
! 8: It may be a little slower as well.
! 9: - "68040" emulation. Dedicated to all the clueless folks out there.
! 10: (with thanks to Christian Bauer)
! 11:
1.1.1.12 root 12: User-visible changes in 0.8.14:

15: malfunction has been fixed.
16: * Some AGA problems fixed (one of them visible in ECS modes).
17: * UAE should work again on non-x86 systems.
18: - By default the emulator will try to approximate an A500 in CPU speed.
19: This setting existed before, but it's a bit more accurate now and on by
20: default.
21: - There is a new option to control the number of emulated disk drives.
22: - Software autofire for the keyboard joystick replacements
23:

49: (most of) them again.
50:
1.1.1.7 root 51: User-visible changes in 0.8.9:
52: - The filesystem emulation should be able to emulate an Amiga FS more
53: accurately. Script/Pure bits and filenotes are kept.
54: - Patrick Ohly contributed SCSI support (currently Linux only) that allows
55: you to (e.g.) use CD writers with the emulator.
56:
57: User-visible changes in 0.8.8:
1.1.1.9 root 58: - I'm sure there were some.
1.1.1.7 root 59:
1.1.1.6 root 60: User-visible changes in 0.8.7:
61: - Commandline and configuration file handling has been redone. The old
62: options are now longer supported
1.1.1.7 root 63: - Hardfiles and filesystems are called DHx: instead of UAEx:
1.1.1.6 root 64: - Filesystem emulation supports more 2.0+ packets

69: - Should no longer crash when resetting the emulation
70: - DOS port update
71: - Improvements in X11 and ncurses user interfaces.
72: - Sound can be re-configured at run-time in the UI.
73:
1.1.1.4 root 74: User-visible changes in 0.8.5:
75: - Prettier gtk user interface
76: - Swedish documentation by Jonas Holm Pileborg
77: - Might compile with BSD make
78: - The 68000 MOVEP instruction works properly
79: - Many Win32 code updates - it _might_ compile out of the box for you if
80: your compiler setup is identical to mine
81:
82: User-visible changes in 0.8.4:
83: - The option "-O" has two new modifiers, 'a' and 'p'.
84:
85: User-visible changes in 0.8.3:
86: - Amiga and GGI ports updated
87: - X11 version supports DGA and windowed mode in one binary, hotkeys, and a
88: mouse grabbing mode
1.1.1.3 root 89:
1.1.1.4 root 90: User-visible changes in 0.8.2:
91: - Should compile on *BSD and on non-x86 systems again.
1.1.1.2 root 92: - Better gtk detection (hopefully)
93: - Fixed bugs that made the low bandwidth feature and dithered color output
94: unusable in the X11 version.
1.1.1.4 root 95: - The X11 driver can now display 8 bit Picasso screens even on truecolor X
96: displays.
1.1.1.2 root 97:
1.1.1.4 root 98: User-visible changes in 0.8.1:
1.1.1.2 root 99: - BeOS update (Christian Bauer)
1.1.1.4 root 100: - New copper code that should be more exact and maybe a little bit faster.
101: - Picasso bug fixed that caused corruption of window scrollbars.
102: - Fix for problems in interlace modes on line doubled displays.
103: - The CPU emulation can try to approximate the speed of a 7MHz A500.
1.1.1.2 root 104:
1.1.1.4 root 105: User-visible changes in 0.8.0:
106: - Better support for some BSD variants.
1.1.1.2 root 107: - Fixed a display bug that caused dual playfield displays in high resolution
108: to look wrong.
109: - The gtk UI no longer crashes when the "-G" option is used.
110:
111: User-visible changes in 0.7.0:
112: - Picasso96 graphics card emulation by Brian King.
113: - All CPU emulations (68000, 68010, 68020, 68020 + FPU, 68000 compatible)
114: are now compiled into one binary and selectable at run-time.
115: - Many changes in hardfile support. Now you can mount several hardfiles in
116: arbitrary order. You can specify the geometry for every hardfile.
117: The hardfile device has been renamed to "uaehf.device". Please adjust your
118: MountList entry.
119: - Stereo sound support
120: - UAE has been ported to pOS by Samuel Devulder
121: - New sound back-end that just writes sound to a file.
122: - Improved serial support
123: - The XFree86 VidMode extension is supported; if you use it, the X11 version
124: will switch to the video mode that is "closest" to what you specified on
125: the commandline.
126: - Many minor and major bugfixes
127:
128: User-visible changes in 0.6.9:
129: - The sprite code finally seems to work now (well, mostly :( )
130: - Sprite-to-sprite collisions implemented
131: - EHB and dual playfield modes are faster on x86 systems.
132: - Disk changes should be detected again.
133: - Believe it or not, I think the reset and quit buttons in the UI actually
134: work this time.
135: - POSIX_PENGUINS for Linux systems with glibc-2.0. There's now real hope
136: that it speeds things up on SMP machines (it still slows down single
137: processor machines if it's enabled, though).
138: - The filesystem code should be somewhat more robust. It can also be set up
139: to run multi-threaded. That makes sense even on single processor machines.
140: - The old follow-mouse hack for the X version is disabled. There is now a
141: new Amiga program named "mousehack". Please put it in the directory you
142: use for harddisk emulation and put the command "run >NIL: mousehack" in
143: your startup-sequence.
144: - 4 or 8 MB chip memory are supported.
145: - Two joysticks are supported on Linux systems, as well as several
146: alternative keyboard "fake" joysticks (using two simultaneously is
147: possible). Also, two joystick buttons are now supported.
148: - The SVGAlib/DOS version user interface is a bit improved. It can now be
149: used during the emulation by pressing F11, e.g. for changing disks.
150: - For the non-DGA X11 version, the LOW_BANDWITH and DONT_WANT_SHM compile
151: options have been turned into the -L and -T run-time options.
152: - Linux/GGI port by Christian Schmitt/Stefan Reinauer (untested)
153:
1.1 root 154: User-visible changes in 0.6.8:
155: - This should contain all the necessary files...
156: - Bugfixes
157:
158: User-visible changes in 0.6.7:
159: - Some bugs in the new playfield code removed; some speed improvements
160: - New alternate user-interface for X (note the debugger doesn't completely
161: work yet). The Tk GUI is also improved. Note that I don't use either, so
162: there are no stability guarantees.
163: - The options "-d" and "-C" are replaced with "-O", which allows much better
164: control over the graphics display. The old options will continue to work
165: for a few more releases and will be removed after that.
166: - Yet Another Blitter Bug fixed (Sanity Arte demo)
167: - Blitter control by copper now works (would have worked before if I hadn't
168: forgotten the COPCON register)
169: - On Linux systems (running at least kernel version 1.3.something) UAE can
170: now be set up to run in two threads. That's only potentially useful on SMP
171: machines, it's a performance loss on other machines. It currently is most
172: probably a big performance loss even on SMP machines: The implementation
173: is very primitive. This is just to get started.
174:
175: User-visible changes in 0.6.6:
176: - Playfield hardware emulation almost completely rewritten. It _should_ be
177: somewhat more stable and bugfree, but there's no doubt that there are some
178: new fun and exciting bugs in this version.
179: Features: Interlace drawing merges two frames and should look better, plus
180: it now works with even frame skip values.
181: The copper is more accurate.
182: Sprite DMA works better (see Interference by Sanity)
183: Some other bugs removed.
184: - The spanish keyboard now has a "W".
185: - Nice pictures in the Tk GUI.
186: - The USER_PROGRAMS_BEHAVE compile-time option now "works" even if you don't
187: use the compiler.
188:
189: User-visible changes in 0.6.5:
190: - Bugfixes in the filesystem code and in the compiler
191: - There was some speed loss in 0.6.4, which should be fixed for the i386
192: versions. Actually, UAE won't run on a 386 anymore (uses the bswapl
193: instruction). It would be pointless anyway...
194: - The text user interface in the SVGAlib and DOS versions supports harddisks
195: better
196: - The XFree86 DGA extension is supported.
197: - Italian documentation by Paolo Besser.
198: - Spanish keyboard support for X; French keyboard updated
199: - I _hope_ that the X version UAE now always resets keyboard autorepeat.
200: - Option "-A" to control the accuracy of the emulation. Use "-A 0" to
201: restore the old behaviour, which is likely to be somewhat faster.
202: - Solaris sound should actually compile this time.
203: - The built-in debugger has a "M" command to search for sound modules.
204:
205: For versions earlier than 0.6.5, you'll have to read the ChangeLog to find out
206: what's new.
