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.

1.1.1.19! root 5: User-visible changes in 0.8.22:
! 6: - Mostly bug fixes
! 7: - Extensive updates for the sprite emulation and blitter timing code.
! 8: Hopefully more accurate than before.
! 9:
1.1.1.18 root 10: User-visible changes in 0.8.21:
11: - Several bug fixes, including some serious filesystem emulation bugs.
12: - Support for A1000 boot ROMs.
13:
14: User-visible changes in 0.8.20:
15: - Bug fixes only
16:
1.1.1.17 root 17: User-visible changes in 0.8.19:
18: - A few bug fixes, especially in state-saving.
19: - Picasso screens now support panning.
20:
1.1.1.16 root 21: User-visible changes in 0.8.18:
22: - Numerous bug fixes.
23: - The gtk UI has more options; it also now behaves similar to the GUI found
24: in the Windows version in that it waits for the user to explicitly start
25: the emulation, thus allowing to select the desired options first.
26: - There's a track and LED display added to the bottom of the screen.
27:
1.1.1.15 root 28: User-visible changes in 0.8.17:
29: - AGA should be a bit faster.
30: - AGA sprites emulation added by Toni Wilen.
31: - Numerous bug fixes.
32: - In the Unix version, the gtk UI has a lot more options available.
33: There's a new option "Enable copper speedup code"; I'd be interested in
34: hearing whether there's any software out there that does not work (or
35: runs slower) if this option is enabled.
36: - Now supports image files of high density floppies (Dr. Adil Temel).
37: - Support for A1000 Kickstart disks (Gerald Schnabel).
38: - The option to disable autoconfig devices no longer exists; the emulator
39: automatically recognizes if the Kickstart version is too old.
40: - Numerous improvements for the integrated debugger.
41: - State save/restore implemented by Toni Wilen. At the moment, this is
42: experimental, "use at your own risk" code. It is not guaranteed that
43: future versions of the emulator will be able to read snapshots saved by
44: this version. Test it and report bugs.
45:
1.1.1.14 root 46: User-visible changes in 0.8.16:
47: - AGA playfield support (again) (Toni Wilen)
48: - In addition to plain mono and stereo, there's a new sound setting "mixed".
49: - There's a new option to set CPU speeds more accurately, it's called
50: "finegrain_cpu_speed".
51: - Numerous bug fixes
52: - Graphics should be faster; optimized code was accidentally commented out
53: in the previous release.
54:
1.1.1.13 root 55: User-visible changes in 0.8.15:
56: - A few changes in the core of the custom chip emulation; this should mean
57: more accuracy in general, but likely also a few new bugs in this version.
58: It may be a little slower as well.
59: - "68040" emulation. Dedicated to all the clueless folks out there.
60: (with thanks to Christian Bauer)
61:
1.1.1.12 root 62: User-visible changes in 0.8.14:
63: - More bug fixes:
64: * CPU emulation problem that could have caused copy protection schemes to
65: malfunction has been fixed.
66: * Some AGA problems fixed (one of them visible in ECS modes).
67: * UAE should work again on non-x86 systems.
68: - By default the emulator will try to approximate an A500 in CPU speed.
69: This setting existed before, but it's a bit more accurate now and on by
70: default.
71: - There is a new option to control the number of emulated disk drives.
72: - Software autofire for the keyboard joystick replacements
73:
1.1.1.11 root 74: User-visible changes in 0.8.13:
75: - Bye bye GGI port
76: - Several bugs fixed, mostly in the filesystem code

84: - Sprite emulation fixes, also due to Sam Jordan.
85: - Some CPU emulation fixes (Keith Rollin, Toni Wilen, Lauri Pesonen)
86: - Old command line options actually work now.
87: - Some floppy related lockups removed.
88:

90: - Audio interpolation
91: - Bugfixes for
92: * disk emulation
93: * FPU emulation
94: * CPU prefetch emulation (the "compatible" setting).
95: * some 2.0+ filesystem packets
96: * text-based UI (should compile again)
97: * some other parts
98: - People like me who liked the old command line options better can now use
99: (most of) them again.
100:
1.1.1.7 root 101: User-visible changes in 0.8.9:
102: - The filesystem emulation should be able to emulate an Amiga FS more
103: accurately. Script/Pure bits and filenotes are kept.
104: - Patrick Ohly contributed SCSI support (currently Linux only) that allows
105: you to (e.g.) use CD writers with the emulator.
106:
107: User-visible changes in 0.8.8:
1.1.1.9 root 108: - I'm sure there were some.
1.1.1.7 root 109:
1.1.1.6 root 110: User-visible changes in 0.8.7:
111: - Commandline and configuration file handling has been redone. The old
112: options are now longer supported
1.1.1.7 root 113: - Hardfiles and filesystems are called DHx: instead of UAEx:
1.1.1.6 root 114: - Filesystem emulation supports more 2.0+ packets
115: - FPU works again
116:
1.1.1.5 root 117: User-visible changes in 0.8.6:
118: - Black scanlines implemented ('D' modifier for "-O" option)
119: - Should no longer crash when resetting the emulation
120: - DOS port update
121: - Improvements in X11 and ncurses user interfaces.
122: - Sound can be re-configured at run-time in the UI.
123:
1.1.1.4 root 124: User-visible changes in 0.8.5:
125: - Prettier gtk user interface
126: - Swedish documentation by Jonas Holm Pileborg
127: - Might compile with BSD make
128: - The 68000 MOVEP instruction works properly
129: - Many Win32 code updates - it _might_ compile out of the box for you if
130: your compiler setup is identical to mine
131:
132: User-visible changes in 0.8.4:
133: - The option "-O" has two new modifiers, 'a' and 'p'.
134:
135: User-visible changes in 0.8.3:
136: - Amiga and GGI ports updated
137: - X11 version supports DGA and windowed mode in one binary, hotkeys, and a
138: mouse grabbing mode
1.1.1.3 root 139:
1.1.1.4 root 140: User-visible changes in 0.8.2:
141: - Should compile on *BSD and on non-x86 systems again.
1.1.1.2 root 142: - Better gtk detection (hopefully)
143: - Fixed bugs that made the low bandwidth feature and dithered color output
144: unusable in the X11 version.
1.1.1.4 root 145: - The X11 driver can now display 8 bit Picasso screens even on truecolor X
146: displays.
1.1.1.2 root 147:
1.1.1.4 root 148: User-visible changes in 0.8.1:
1.1.1.2 root 149: - BeOS update (Christian Bauer)
1.1.1.4 root 150: - New copper code that should be more exact and maybe a little bit faster.
151: - Picasso bug fixed that caused corruption of window scrollbars.
152: - Fix for problems in interlace modes on line doubled displays.
153: - The CPU emulation can try to approximate the speed of a 7MHz A500.
1.1.1.2 root 154:
1.1.1.4 root 155: User-visible changes in 0.8.0:
156: - Better support for some BSD variants.
1.1.1.2 root 157: - Fixed a display bug that caused dual playfield displays in high resolution
158: to look wrong.
159: - The gtk UI no longer crashes when the "-G" option is used.
160:
161: User-visible changes in 0.7.0:
162: - Picasso96 graphics card emulation by Brian King.
163: - All CPU emulations (68000, 68010, 68020, 68020 + FPU, 68000 compatible)
164: are now compiled into one binary and selectable at run-time.
165: - Many changes in hardfile support. Now you can mount several hardfiles in
166: arbitrary order. You can specify the geometry for every hardfile.
167: The hardfile device has been renamed to "uaehf.device". Please adjust your
168: MountList entry.
169: - Stereo sound support
170: - UAE has been ported to pOS by Samuel Devulder
171: - New sound back-end that just writes sound to a file.
172: - Improved serial support
173: - The XFree86 VidMode extension is supported; if you use it, the X11 version
174: will switch to the video mode that is "closest" to what you specified on
175: the commandline.
176: - Many minor and major bugfixes
177:
178: User-visible changes in 0.6.9:
179: - The sprite code finally seems to work now (well, mostly :( )
180: - Sprite-to-sprite collisions implemented
181: - EHB and dual playfield modes are faster on x86 systems.
182: - Disk changes should be detected again.
183: - Believe it or not, I think the reset and quit buttons in the UI actually
184: work this time.
185: - POSIX_PENGUINS for Linux systems with glibc-2.0. There's now real hope
186: that it speeds things up on SMP machines (it still slows down single
187: processor machines if it's enabled, though).
188: - The filesystem code should be somewhat more robust. It can also be set up
189: to run multi-threaded. That makes sense even on single processor machines.
190: - The old follow-mouse hack for the X version is disabled. There is now a
191: new Amiga program named "mousehack". Please put it in the directory you
192: use for harddisk emulation and put the command "run >NIL: mousehack" in
193: your startup-sequence.
194: - 4 or 8 MB chip memory are supported.
195: - Two joysticks are supported on Linux systems, as well as several
196: alternative keyboard "fake" joysticks (using two simultaneously is
197: possible). Also, two joystick buttons are now supported.
198: - The SVGAlib/DOS version user interface is a bit improved. It can now be
199: used during the emulation by pressing F11, e.g. for changing disks.
200: - For the non-DGA X11 version, the LOW_BANDWITH and DONT_WANT_SHM compile
201: options have been turned into the -L and -T run-time options.
202: - Linux/GGI port by Christian Schmitt/Stefan Reinauer (untested)
203:
1.1 root 204: User-visible changes in 0.6.8:
205: - This should contain all the necessary files...
206: - Bugfixes
207:
208: User-visible changes in 0.6.7:
209: - Some bugs in the new playfield code removed; some speed improvements
210: - New alternate user-interface for X (note the debugger doesn't completely
211: work yet). The Tk GUI is also improved. Note that I don't use either, so
212: there are no stability guarantees.
213: - The options "-d" and "-C" are replaced with "-O", which allows much better
214: control over the graphics display. The old options will continue to work
215: for a few more releases and will be removed after that.
216: - Yet Another Blitter Bug fixed (Sanity Arte demo)
217: - Blitter control by copper now works (would have worked before if I hadn't
218: forgotten the COPCON register)
219: - On Linux systems (running at least kernel version 1.3.something) UAE can
220: now be set up to run in two threads. That's only potentially useful on SMP
221: machines, it's a performance loss on other machines. It currently is most
222: probably a big performance loss even on SMP machines: The implementation
223: is very primitive. This is just to get started.
224:
225: User-visible changes in 0.6.6:
226: - Playfield hardware emulation almost completely rewritten. It _should_ be
227: somewhat more stable and bugfree, but there's no doubt that there are some
228: new fun and exciting bugs in this version.
229: Features: Interlace drawing merges two frames and should look better, plus
230: it now works with even frame skip values.
231: The copper is more accurate.
232: Sprite DMA works better (see Interference by Sanity)
233: Some other bugs removed.
234: - The spanish keyboard now has a "W".
235: - Nice pictures in the Tk GUI.
236: - The USER_PROGRAMS_BEHAVE compile-time option now "works" even if you don't
237: use the compiler.
238:
239: User-visible changes in 0.6.5:
240: - Bugfixes in the filesystem code and in the compiler
241: - There was some speed loss in 0.6.4, which should be fixed for the i386
242: versions. Actually, UAE won't run on a 386 anymore (uses the bswapl
243: instruction). It would be pointless anyway...
244: - The text user interface in the SVGAlib and DOS versions supports harddisks
245: better
246: - The XFree86 DGA extension is supported.
247: - Italian documentation by Paolo Besser.
248: - Spanish keyboard support for X; French keyboard updated
249: - I _hope_ that the X version UAE now always resets keyboard autorepeat.
250: - Option "-A" to control the accuracy of the emulation. Use "-A 0" to
251: restore the old behaviour, which is likely to be somewhat faster.
252: - Solaris sound should actually compile this time.
253: - The built-in debugger has a "M" command to search for sound modules.
254:
255: For versions earlier than 0.6.5, you'll have to read the ChangeLog to find out
256: what's new.
