! 9: "finegrain_cpu_speed".
! 10: - Numerous bug fixes
! 11: - Graphics should be faster; optimized code was accidentally commented out
! 12: in the previous release.
! 13:
1.1.1.13 root 14: User-visible changes in 0.8.15:
15: - A few changes in the core of the custom chip emulation; this should mean
16: more accuracy in general, but likely also a few new bugs in this version.
17: It may be a little slower as well.
18: - "68040" emulation. Dedicated to all the clueless folks out there.
19: (with thanks to Christian Bauer)
20:
1.1.1.12 root 21: User-visible changes in 0.8.14:

24: malfunction has been fixed.
25: * Some AGA problems fixed (one of them visible in ECS modes).
26: * UAE should work again on non-x86 systems.
27: - By default the emulator will try to approximate an A500 in CPU speed.
28: This setting existed before, but it's a bit more accurate now and on by
29: default.
30: - There is a new option to control the number of emulated disk drives.
31: - Software autofire for the keyboard joystick replacements
32:

58: (most of) them again.
59:
1.1.1.7 root 60: User-visible changes in 0.8.9:
61: - The filesystem emulation should be able to emulate an Amiga FS more
62: accurately. Script/Pure bits and filenotes are kept.
63: - Patrick Ohly contributed SCSI support (currently Linux only) that allows
64: you to (e.g.) use CD writers with the emulator.
65:
66: User-visible changes in 0.8.8:
1.1.1.9 root 67: - I'm sure there were some.
1.1.1.7 root 68:
1.1.1.6 root 69: User-visible changes in 0.8.7:
70: - Commandline and configuration file handling has been redone. The old
71: options are now longer supported
1.1.1.7 root 72: - Hardfiles and filesystems are called DHx: instead of UAEx:
1.1.1.6 root 73: - Filesystem emulation supports more 2.0+ packets

78: - Should no longer crash when resetting the emulation
79: - DOS port update
80: - Improvements in X11 and ncurses user interfaces.
81: - Sound can be re-configured at run-time in the UI.
82:
1.1.1.4 root 83: User-visible changes in 0.8.5:
84: - Prettier gtk user interface
85: - Swedish documentation by Jonas Holm Pileborg
86: - Might compile with BSD make
87: - The 68000 MOVEP instruction works properly

90:
91: User-visible changes in 0.8.4:
92: - The option "-O" has two new modifiers, 'a' and 'p'.
93:
94: User-visible changes in 0.8.3:

97: mouse grabbing mode
1.1.1.3 root 98:
1.1.1.4 root 99: User-visible changes in 0.8.2:
100: - Should compile on *BSD and on non-x86 systems again.
1.1.1.2 root 101: - Better gtk detection (hopefully)
102: - Fixed bugs that made the low bandwidth feature and dithered color output
103: unusable in the X11 version.
1.1.1.4 root 104: - The X11 driver can now display 8 bit Picasso screens even on truecolor X
105: displays.
1.1.1.2 root 106:
1.1.1.4 root 107: User-visible changes in 0.8.1:
1.1.1.2 root 108: - BeOS update (Christian Bauer)
1.1.1.4 root 109: - New copper code that should be more exact and maybe a little bit faster.
110: - Picasso bug fixed that caused corruption of window scrollbars.
111: - Fix for problems in interlace modes on line doubled displays.
112: - The CPU emulation can try to approximate the speed of a 7MHz A500.
1.1.1.2 root 113:
1.1.1.4 root 114: User-visible changes in 0.8.0:
115: - Better support for some BSD variants.
1.1.1.2 root 116: - Fixed a display bug that caused dual playfield displays in high resolution
117: to look wrong.
118: - The gtk UI no longer crashes when the "-G" option is used.
119:
120: User-visible changes in 0.7.0:
121: - Picasso96 graphics card emulation by Brian King.
122: - All CPU emulations (68000, 68010, 68020, 68020 + FPU, 68000 compatible)
123: are now compiled into one binary and selectable at run-time.
124: - Many changes in hardfile support. Now you can mount several hardfiles in
125: arbitrary order. You can specify the geometry for every hardfile.
126: The hardfile device has been renamed to "uaehf.device". Please adjust your
127: MountList entry.
128: - Stereo sound support
129: - UAE has been ported to pOS by Samuel Devulder
130: - New sound back-end that just writes sound to a file.
131: - Improved serial support
132: - The XFree86 VidMode extension is supported; if you use it, the X11 version
133: will switch to the video mode that is "closest" to what you specified on
134: the commandline.
135: - Many minor and major bugfixes
136:
137: User-visible changes in 0.6.9:
138: - The sprite code finally seems to work now (well, mostly :( )
139: - Sprite-to-sprite collisions implemented
140: - EHB and dual playfield modes are faster on x86 systems.
141: - Disk changes should be detected again.
142: - Believe it or not, I think the reset and quit buttons in the UI actually
143: work this time.
144: - POSIX_PENGUINS for Linux systems with glibc-2.0. There's now real hope
145: that it speeds things up on SMP machines (it still slows down single
146: processor machines if it's enabled, though).
147: - The filesystem code should be somewhat more robust. It can also be set up
148: to run multi-threaded. That makes sense even on single processor machines.
149: - The old follow-mouse hack for the X version is disabled. There is now a
150: new Amiga program named "mousehack". Please put it in the directory you
151: use for harddisk emulation and put the command "run >NIL: mousehack" in
152: your startup-sequence.
153: - 4 or 8 MB chip memory are supported.
154: - Two joysticks are supported on Linux systems, as well as several
155: alternative keyboard "fake" joysticks (using two simultaneously is
156: possible). Also, two joystick buttons are now supported.
157: - The SVGAlib/DOS version user interface is a bit improved. It can now be
158: used during the emulation by pressing F11, e.g. for changing disks.
159: - For the non-DGA X11 version, the LOW_BANDWITH and DONT_WANT_SHM compile
160: options have been turned into the -L and -T run-time options.
161: - Linux/GGI port by Christian Schmitt/Stefan Reinauer (untested)
162:
1.1 root 163: User-visible changes in 0.6.8:
164: - This should contain all the necessary files...
165: - Bugfixes
166:
167: User-visible changes in 0.6.7:
168: - Some bugs in the new playfield code removed; some speed improvements
169: - New alternate user-interface for X (note the debugger doesn't completely
170: work yet). The Tk GUI is also improved. Note that I don't use either, so
171: there are no stability guarantees.
172: - The options "-d" and "-C" are replaced with "-O", which allows much better
173: control over the graphics display. The old options will continue to work
174: for a few more releases and will be removed after that.
175: - Yet Another Blitter Bug fixed (Sanity Arte demo)
176: - Blitter control by copper now works (would have worked before if I hadn't
177: forgotten the COPCON register)
178: - On Linux systems (running at least kernel version 1.3.something) UAE can
179: now be set up to run in two threads. That's only potentially useful on SMP
180: machines, it's a performance loss on other machines. It currently is most
181: probably a big performance loss even on SMP machines: The implementation
182: is very primitive. This is just to get started.
183:
184: User-visible changes in 0.6.6:
185: - Playfield hardware emulation almost completely rewritten. It _should_ be
186: somewhat more stable and bugfree, but there's no doubt that there are some
187: new fun and exciting bugs in this version.
188: Features: Interlace drawing merges two frames and should look better, plus
189: it now works with even frame skip values.
190: The copper is more accurate.
191: Sprite DMA works better (see Interference by Sanity)
192: Some other bugs removed.
193: - The spanish keyboard now has a "W".
194: - Nice pictures in the Tk GUI.
195: - The USER_PROGRAMS_BEHAVE compile-time option now "works" even if you don't
196: use the compiler.
197:
198: User-visible changes in 0.6.5:
199: - Bugfixes in the filesystem code and in the compiler
200: - There was some speed loss in 0.6.4, which should be fixed for the i386
201: versions. Actually, UAE won't run on a 386 anymore (uses the bswapl
202: instruction). It would be pointless anyway...
203: - The text user interface in the SVGAlib and DOS versions supports harddisks
204: better
205: - The XFree86 DGA extension is supported.
206: - Italian documentation by Paolo Besser.
207: - Spanish keyboard support for X; French keyboard updated
208: - I _hope_ that the X version UAE now always resets keyboard autorepeat.
209: - Option "-A" to control the accuracy of the emulation. Use "-A 0" to
210: restore the old behaviour, which is likely to be somewhat faster.
211: - Solaris sound should actually compile this time.
212: - The built-in debugger has a "M" command to search for sound modules.
213:
214: For versions earlier than 0.6.5, you'll have to read the ChangeLog to find out
215: what's new.
