1.1 root 1: Note! This file only contains user-visible changes. There may be others. For a
2: more detailed description of changes between releases, read src/ChangeLog, and
3: for the full picture, make a diff between releases.

1.1.1.16! root 5: User-visible changes in 0.8.18:
! 6: - Numerous bug fixes.
! 7: - The gtk UI has more options; it also now behaves similar to the GUI found
! 8: in the Windows version in that it waits for the user to explicitly start
! 9: the emulation, thus allowing to select the desired options first.
! 10: - There's a track and LED display added to the bottom of the screen.
! 11:
1.1.1.15 root 12: User-visible changes in 0.8.17:
13: - AGA should be a bit faster.
14: - AGA sprites emulation added by Toni Wilen.
15: - Numerous bug fixes.
16: - In the Unix version, the gtk UI has a lot more options available.
17: There's a new option "Enable copper speedup code"; I'd be interested in
18: hearing whether there's any software out there that does not work (or
19: runs slower) if this option is enabled.
20: - Now supports image files of high density floppies (Dr. Adil Temel).
21: - Support for A1000 Kickstart disks (Gerald Schnabel).
22: - The option to disable autoconfig devices no longer exists; the emulator
23: automatically recognizes if the Kickstart version is too old.
24: - Numerous improvements for the integrated debugger.
25: - State save/restore implemented by Toni Wilen. At the moment, this is
26: experimental, "use at your own risk" code. It is not guaranteed that
27: future versions of the emulator will be able to read snapshots saved by
28: this version. Test it and report bugs.
29:
1.1.1.14 root 30: User-visible changes in 0.8.16:
31: - AGA playfield support (again) (Toni Wilen)
32: - In addition to plain mono and stereo, there's a new sound setting "mixed".
33: - There's a new option to set CPU speeds more accurately, it's called
34: "finegrain_cpu_speed".
35: - Numerous bug fixes
36: - Graphics should be faster; optimized code was accidentally commented out
37: in the previous release.
38:
1.1.1.13 root 39: User-visible changes in 0.8.15:
40: - A few changes in the core of the custom chip emulation; this should mean
41: more accuracy in general, but likely also a few new bugs in this version.
42: It may be a little slower as well.
43: - "68040" emulation. Dedicated to all the clueless folks out there.
44: (with thanks to Christian Bauer)
45:
1.1.1.12 root 46: User-visible changes in 0.8.14:
47: - More bug fixes:
48: * CPU emulation problem that could have caused copy protection schemes to
49: malfunction has been fixed.
50: * Some AGA problems fixed (one of them visible in ECS modes).
51: * UAE should work again on non-x86 systems.
52: - By default the emulator will try to approximate an A500 in CPU speed.
53: This setting existed before, but it's a bit more accurate now and on by
54: default.
55: - There is a new option to control the number of emulated disk drives.
56: - Software autofire for the keyboard joystick replacements
57:
1.1.1.11 root 58: User-visible changes in 0.8.13:
59: - Bye bye GGI port
60: - Several bugs fixed, mostly in the filesystem code
61: - AGA updates
62:
1.1.1.10 root 63: User-visible changes in 0.8.12:
64: - Several bugfixes
65:
1.1.1.9 root 66: User-visible changes in 0.8.11:
67: - Finally, an accurate copper emulation, thanks to Sam Jordan.
68: - Sprite emulation fixes, also due to Sam Jordan.
69: - Some CPU emulation fixes (Keith Rollin, Toni Wilen, Lauri Pesonen)
70: - Old command line options actually work now.
71: - Some floppy related lockups removed.
72:
1.1.1.8 root 73: User-visible changes in 0.8.10:
74: - Audio interpolation
75: - Bugfixes for
76: * disk emulation
77: * FPU emulation
78: * CPU prefetch emulation (the "compatible" setting).
79: * some 2.0+ filesystem packets
80: * text-based UI (should compile again)
81: * some other parts
82: - People like me who liked the old command line options better can now use
83: (most of) them again.
84:
1.1.1.7 root 85: User-visible changes in 0.8.9:
86: - The filesystem emulation should be able to emulate an Amiga FS more
87: accurately. Script/Pure bits and filenotes are kept.
88: - Patrick Ohly contributed SCSI support (currently Linux only) that allows
89: you to (e.g.) use CD writers with the emulator.
90:
91: User-visible changes in 0.8.8:
1.1.1.9 root 92: - I'm sure there were some.
1.1.1.7 root 93:
1.1.1.6 root 94: User-visible changes in 0.8.7:
95: - Commandline and configuration file handling has been redone. The old
96: options are now longer supported
1.1.1.7 root 97: - Hardfiles and filesystems are called DHx: instead of UAEx:
1.1.1.6 root 98: - Filesystem emulation supports more 2.0+ packets
99: - FPU works again
100:
1.1.1.5 root 101: User-visible changes in 0.8.6:
102: - Black scanlines implemented ('D' modifier for "-O" option)
103: - Should no longer crash when resetting the emulation
104: - DOS port update
105: - Improvements in X11 and ncurses user interfaces.
106: - Sound can be re-configured at run-time in the UI.
107:
1.1.1.4 root 108: User-visible changes in 0.8.5:
109: - Prettier gtk user interface
110: - Swedish documentation by Jonas Holm Pileborg
111: - Might compile with BSD make
112: - The 68000 MOVEP instruction works properly
113: - Many Win32 code updates - it _might_ compile out of the box for you if
114: your compiler setup is identical to mine
115:
116: User-visible changes in 0.8.4:
117: - The option "-O" has two new modifiers, 'a' and 'p'.
118:
119: User-visible changes in 0.8.3:
120: - Amiga and GGI ports updated
121: - X11 version supports DGA and windowed mode in one binary, hotkeys, and a
122: mouse grabbing mode
1.1.1.3 root 123:
1.1.1.4 root 124: User-visible changes in 0.8.2:
125: - Should compile on *BSD and on non-x86 systems again.
1.1.1.2 root 126: - Better gtk detection (hopefully)
127: - Fixed bugs that made the low bandwidth feature and dithered color output
128: unusable in the X11 version.
1.1.1.4 root 129: - The X11 driver can now display 8 bit Picasso screens even on truecolor X
130: displays.
1.1.1.2 root 131:
1.1.1.4 root 132: User-visible changes in 0.8.1:
1.1.1.2 root 133: - BeOS update (Christian Bauer)
1.1.1.4 root 134: - New copper code that should be more exact and maybe a little bit faster.
135: - Picasso bug fixed that caused corruption of window scrollbars.
136: - Fix for problems in interlace modes on line doubled displays.
137: - The CPU emulation can try to approximate the speed of a 7MHz A500.
1.1.1.2 root 138:
1.1.1.4 root 139: User-visible changes in 0.8.0:
140: - Better support for some BSD variants.
1.1.1.2 root 141: - Fixed a display bug that caused dual playfield displays in high resolution
142: to look wrong.
143: - The gtk UI no longer crashes when the "-G" option is used.
144:
145: User-visible changes in 0.7.0:
146: - Picasso96 graphics card emulation by Brian King.
147: - All CPU emulations (68000, 68010, 68020, 68020 + FPU, 68000 compatible)
148: are now compiled into one binary and selectable at run-time.
149: - Many changes in hardfile support. Now you can mount several hardfiles in
150: arbitrary order. You can specify the geometry for every hardfile.
151: The hardfile device has been renamed to "uaehf.device". Please adjust your
152: MountList entry.
153: - Stereo sound support
154: - UAE has been ported to pOS by Samuel Devulder
155: - New sound back-end that just writes sound to a file.
156: - Improved serial support
157: - The XFree86 VidMode extension is supported; if you use it, the X11 version
158: will switch to the video mode that is "closest" to what you specified on
159: the commandline.
160: - Many minor and major bugfixes
161:
162: User-visible changes in 0.6.9:
163: - The sprite code finally seems to work now (well, mostly :( )
164: - Sprite-to-sprite collisions implemented
165: - EHB and dual playfield modes are faster on x86 systems.
166: - Disk changes should be detected again.
167: - Believe it or not, I think the reset and quit buttons in the UI actually
168: work this time.
169: - POSIX_PENGUINS for Linux systems with glibc-2.0. There's now real hope
170: that it speeds things up on SMP machines (it still slows down single
171: processor machines if it's enabled, though).
172: - The filesystem code should be somewhat more robust. It can also be set up
173: to run multi-threaded. That makes sense even on single processor machines.
174: - The old follow-mouse hack for the X version is disabled. There is now a
175: new Amiga program named "mousehack". Please put it in the directory you
176: use for harddisk emulation and put the command "run >NIL: mousehack" in
177: your startup-sequence.
178: - 4 or 8 MB chip memory are supported.
179: - Two joysticks are supported on Linux systems, as well as several
180: alternative keyboard "fake" joysticks (using two simultaneously is
181: possible). Also, two joystick buttons are now supported.
182: - The SVGAlib/DOS version user interface is a bit improved. It can now be
183: used during the emulation by pressing F11, e.g. for changing disks.
184: - For the non-DGA X11 version, the LOW_BANDWITH and DONT_WANT_SHM compile
185: options have been turned into the -L and -T run-time options.
186: - Linux/GGI port by Christian Schmitt/Stefan Reinauer (untested)
187:
1.1 root 188: User-visible changes in 0.6.8:
189: - This should contain all the necessary files...
190: - Bugfixes
191:
192: User-visible changes in 0.6.7:
193: - Some bugs in the new playfield code removed; some speed improvements
194: - New alternate user-interface for X (note the debugger doesn't completely
195: work yet). The Tk GUI is also improved. Note that I don't use either, so
196: there are no stability guarantees.
197: - The options "-d" and "-C" are replaced with "-O", which allows much better
198: control over the graphics display. The old options will continue to work
199: for a few more releases and will be removed after that.
200: - Yet Another Blitter Bug fixed (Sanity Arte demo)
201: - Blitter control by copper now works (would have worked before if I hadn't
202: forgotten the COPCON register)
203: - On Linux systems (running at least kernel version 1.3.something) UAE can
204: now be set up to run in two threads. That's only potentially useful on SMP
205: machines, it's a performance loss on other machines. It currently is most
206: probably a big performance loss even on SMP machines: The implementation
207: is very primitive. This is just to get started.
208:
209: User-visible changes in 0.6.6:
210: - Playfield hardware emulation almost completely rewritten. It _should_ be
211: somewhat more stable and bugfree, but there's no doubt that there are some
212: new fun and exciting bugs in this version.
213: Features: Interlace drawing merges two frames and should look better, plus
214: it now works with even frame skip values.
215: The copper is more accurate.
216: Sprite DMA works better (see Interference by Sanity)
217: Some other bugs removed.
218: - The spanish keyboard now has a "W".
219: - Nice pictures in the Tk GUI.
220: - The USER_PROGRAMS_BEHAVE compile-time option now "works" even if you don't
221: use the compiler.
222:
223: User-visible changes in 0.6.5:
224: - Bugfixes in the filesystem code and in the compiler
225: - There was some speed loss in 0.6.4, which should be fixed for the i386
226: versions. Actually, UAE won't run on a 386 anymore (uses the bswapl
227: instruction). It would be pointless anyway...
228: - The text user interface in the SVGAlib and DOS versions supports harddisks
229: better
230: - The XFree86 DGA extension is supported.
231: - Italian documentation by Paolo Besser.
232: - Spanish keyboard support for X; French keyboard updated
233: - I _hope_ that the X version UAE now always resets keyboard autorepeat.
234: - Option "-A" to control the accuracy of the emulation. Use "-A 0" to
235: restore the old behaviour, which is likely to be somewhat faster.
236: - Solaris sound should actually compile this time.
237: - The built-in debugger has a "M" command to search for sound modules.
238:
239: For versions earlier than 0.6.5, you'll have to read the ChangeLog to find out
240: what's new.
