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.
4:
1.1.1.20! root 5: User-visible changes in 0.8.23:
! 6: - Moved over some features from WinUAE:
! 7: * better m68k exception handling
! 8: * better m68k prefetch emulation
! 9: * better debugger
! 10: - Added ALSA sound support from Heikki Orsila
! 11:
1.1.1.19 root 12: User-visible changes in 0.8.22:
13: - Mostly bug fixes
14: - Extensive updates for the sprite emulation and blitter timing code.
15: Hopefully more accurate than before.
16:
1.1.1.18 root 17: User-visible changes in 0.8.21:
18: - Several bug fixes, including some serious filesystem emulation bugs.
19: - Support for A1000 boot ROMs.
20:
21: User-visible changes in 0.8.20:
22: - Bug fixes only
23:
1.1.1.17 root 24: User-visible changes in 0.8.19:
25: - A few bug fixes, especially in state-saving.
26: - Picasso screens now support panning.
27:
1.1.1.16 root 28: User-visible changes in 0.8.18:
29: - Numerous bug fixes.
30: - The gtk UI has more options; it also now behaves similar to the GUI found
31: in the Windows version in that it waits for the user to explicitly start
32: the emulation, thus allowing to select the desired options first.
33: - There's a track and LED display added to the bottom of the screen.
34:
1.1.1.15 root 35: User-visible changes in 0.8.17:
36: - AGA should be a bit faster.
37: - AGA sprites emulation added by Toni Wilen.
38: - Numerous bug fixes.
39: - In the Unix version, the gtk UI has a lot more options available.
40: There's a new option "Enable copper speedup code"; I'd be interested in
41: hearing whether there's any software out there that does not work (or
42: runs slower) if this option is enabled.
43: - Now supports image files of high density floppies (Dr. Adil Temel).
44: - Support for A1000 Kickstart disks (Gerald Schnabel).
45: - The option to disable autoconfig devices no longer exists; the emulator
46: automatically recognizes if the Kickstart version is too old.
47: - Numerous improvements for the integrated debugger.
48: - State save/restore implemented by Toni Wilen. At the moment, this is
49: experimental, "use at your own risk" code. It is not guaranteed that
50: future versions of the emulator will be able to read snapshots saved by
51: this version. Test it and report bugs.
52:
1.1.1.14 root 53: User-visible changes in 0.8.16:
54: - AGA playfield support (again) (Toni Wilen)
55: - In addition to plain mono and stereo, there's a new sound setting "mixed".
56: - There's a new option to set CPU speeds more accurately, it's called
57: "finegrain_cpu_speed".
58: - Numerous bug fixes
59: - Graphics should be faster; optimized code was accidentally commented out
60: in the previous release.
61:
1.1.1.13 root 62: User-visible changes in 0.8.15:
63: - A few changes in the core of the custom chip emulation; this should mean
64: more accuracy in general, but likely also a few new bugs in this version.
65: It may be a little slower as well.
66: - "68040" emulation. Dedicated to all the clueless folks out there.
67: (with thanks to Christian Bauer)
68:
1.1.1.12 root 69: User-visible changes in 0.8.14:
70: - More bug fixes:
71: * CPU emulation problem that could have caused copy protection schemes to
72: malfunction has been fixed.
73: * Some AGA problems fixed (one of them visible in ECS modes).
74: * UAE should work again on non-x86 systems.
75: - By default the emulator will try to approximate an A500 in CPU speed.
76: This setting existed before, but it's a bit more accurate now and on by
77: default.
78: - There is a new option to control the number of emulated disk drives.
79: - Software autofire for the keyboard joystick replacements
80:
1.1.1.11 root 81: User-visible changes in 0.8.13:
82: - Bye bye GGI port
83: - Several bugs fixed, mostly in the filesystem code
84: - AGA updates

91: - Sprite emulation fixes, also due to Sam Jordan.
92: - Some CPU emulation fixes (Keith Rollin, Toni Wilen, Lauri Pesonen)
93: - Old command line options actually work now.
94: - Some floppy related lockups removed.
95:
1.1.1.8 root 96: User-visible changes in 0.8.10:
97: - Audio interpolation
98: - Bugfixes for
99: * disk emulation
100: * FPU emulation
101: * CPU prefetch emulation (the "compatible" setting).
102: * some 2.0+ filesystem packets
103: * text-based UI (should compile again)
104: * some other parts
105: - People like me who liked the old command line options better can now use
106: (most of) them again.
107:
1.1.1.7 root 108: User-visible changes in 0.8.9:
109: - The filesystem emulation should be able to emulate an Amiga FS more
110: accurately. Script/Pure bits and filenotes are kept.
111: - Patrick Ohly contributed SCSI support (currently Linux only) that allows
112: you to (e.g.) use CD writers with the emulator.
113:
114: User-visible changes in 0.8.8:
1.1.1.9 root 115: - I'm sure there were some.
1.1.1.7 root 116:
1.1.1.6 root 117: User-visible changes in 0.8.7:
118: - Commandline and configuration file handling has been redone. The old
119: options are now longer supported
1.1.1.7 root 120: - Hardfiles and filesystems are called DHx: instead of UAEx:
1.1.1.6 root 121: - Filesystem emulation supports more 2.0+ packets
122: - FPU works again
123:
1.1.1.5 root 124: User-visible changes in 0.8.6:
125: - Black scanlines implemented ('D' modifier for "-O" option)
126: - Should no longer crash when resetting the emulation
127: - DOS port update
128: - Improvements in X11 and ncurses user interfaces.
129: - Sound can be re-configured at run-time in the UI.
130:
1.1.1.4 root 131: User-visible changes in 0.8.5:
132: - Prettier gtk user interface
133: - Swedish documentation by Jonas Holm Pileborg
134: - Might compile with BSD make
135: - The 68000 MOVEP instruction works properly
136: - Many Win32 code updates - it _might_ compile out of the box for you if
137: your compiler setup is identical to mine
138:
139: User-visible changes in 0.8.4:
140: - The option "-O" has two new modifiers, 'a' and 'p'.
141:
142: User-visible changes in 0.8.3:
143: - Amiga and GGI ports updated
144: - X11 version supports DGA and windowed mode in one binary, hotkeys, and a
145: mouse grabbing mode
1.1.1.3 root 146:
1.1.1.4 root 147: User-visible changes in 0.8.2:
148: - Should compile on *BSD and on non-x86 systems again.
1.1.1.2 root 149: - Better gtk detection (hopefully)
150: - Fixed bugs that made the low bandwidth feature and dithered color output
151: unusable in the X11 version.
1.1.1.4 root 152: - The X11 driver can now display 8 bit Picasso screens even on truecolor X
153: displays.
1.1.1.2 root 154:
1.1.1.4 root 155: User-visible changes in 0.8.1:
1.1.1.2 root 156: - BeOS update (Christian Bauer)
1.1.1.4 root 157: - New copper code that should be more exact and maybe a little bit faster.
158: - Picasso bug fixed that caused corruption of window scrollbars.
159: - Fix for problems in interlace modes on line doubled displays.
160: - The CPU emulation can try to approximate the speed of a 7MHz A500.
1.1.1.2 root 161:
1.1.1.4 root 162: User-visible changes in 0.8.0:
163: - Better support for some BSD variants.
1.1.1.2 root 164: - Fixed a display bug that caused dual playfield displays in high resolution
165: to look wrong.
166: - The gtk UI no longer crashes when the "-G" option is used.
167:
168: User-visible changes in 0.7.0:
169: - Picasso96 graphics card emulation by Brian King.
170: - All CPU emulations (68000, 68010, 68020, 68020 + FPU, 68000 compatible)
171: are now compiled into one binary and selectable at run-time.
172: - Many changes in hardfile support. Now you can mount several hardfiles in
173: arbitrary order. You can specify the geometry for every hardfile.
174: The hardfile device has been renamed to "uaehf.device". Please adjust your
175: MountList entry.
176: - Stereo sound support
177: - UAE has been ported to pOS by Samuel Devulder
178: - New sound back-end that just writes sound to a file.
179: - Improved serial support
180: - The XFree86 VidMode extension is supported; if you use it, the X11 version
181: will switch to the video mode that is "closest" to what you specified on
182: the commandline.
183: - Many minor and major bugfixes
184:
185: User-visible changes in 0.6.9:
186: - The sprite code finally seems to work now (well, mostly :( )
187: - Sprite-to-sprite collisions implemented
188: - EHB and dual playfield modes are faster on x86 systems.
189: - Disk changes should be detected again.
190: - Believe it or not, I think the reset and quit buttons in the UI actually
191: work this time.
192: - POSIX_PENGUINS for Linux systems with glibc-2.0. There's now real hope
193: that it speeds things up on SMP machines (it still slows down single
194: processor machines if it's enabled, though).
195: - The filesystem code should be somewhat more robust. It can also be set up
196: to run multi-threaded. That makes sense even on single processor machines.
197: - The old follow-mouse hack for the X version is disabled. There is now a
198: new Amiga program named "mousehack". Please put it in the directory you
199: use for harddisk emulation and put the command "run >NIL: mousehack" in
200: your startup-sequence.
201: - 4 or 8 MB chip memory are supported.
202: - Two joysticks are supported on Linux systems, as well as several
203: alternative keyboard "fake" joysticks (using two simultaneously is
204: possible). Also, two joystick buttons are now supported.
205: - The SVGAlib/DOS version user interface is a bit improved. It can now be
206: used during the emulation by pressing F11, e.g. for changing disks.
207: - For the non-DGA X11 version, the LOW_BANDWITH and DONT_WANT_SHM compile
208: options have been turned into the -L and -T run-time options.
209: - Linux/GGI port by Christian Schmitt/Stefan Reinauer (untested)
210:
1.1 root 211: User-visible changes in 0.6.8:
212: - This should contain all the necessary files...
213: - Bugfixes
214:
215: User-visible changes in 0.6.7:
216: - Some bugs in the new playfield code removed; some speed improvements
217: - New alternate user-interface for X (note the debugger doesn't completely
218: work yet). The Tk GUI is also improved. Note that I don't use either, so
219: there are no stability guarantees.
220: - The options "-d" and "-C" are replaced with "-O", which allows much better
221: control over the graphics display. The old options will continue to work
222: for a few more releases and will be removed after that.
223: - Yet Another Blitter Bug fixed (Sanity Arte demo)
224: - Blitter control by copper now works (would have worked before if I hadn't
225: forgotten the COPCON register)
226: - On Linux systems (running at least kernel version 1.3.something) UAE can
227: now be set up to run in two threads. That's only potentially useful on SMP
228: machines, it's a performance loss on other machines. It currently is most
229: probably a big performance loss even on SMP machines: The implementation
230: is very primitive. This is just to get started.
231:
232: User-visible changes in 0.6.6:
233: - Playfield hardware emulation almost completely rewritten. It _should_ be
234: somewhat more stable and bugfree, but there's no doubt that there are some
235: new fun and exciting bugs in this version.
236: Features: Interlace drawing merges two frames and should look better, plus
237: it now works with even frame skip values.
238: The copper is more accurate.
239: Sprite DMA works better (see Interference by Sanity)
240: Some other bugs removed.
241: - The spanish keyboard now has a "W".
242: - Nice pictures in the Tk GUI.
243: - The USER_PROGRAMS_BEHAVE compile-time option now "works" even if you don't
244: use the compiler.
245:
246: User-visible changes in 0.6.5:
247: - Bugfixes in the filesystem code and in the compiler
248: - There was some speed loss in 0.6.4, which should be fixed for the i386
249: versions. Actually, UAE won't run on a 386 anymore (uses the bswapl
250: instruction). It would be pointless anyway...
251: - The text user interface in the SVGAlib and DOS versions supports harddisks
252: better
253: - The XFree86 DGA extension is supported.
254: - Italian documentation by Paolo Besser.
255: - Spanish keyboard support for X; French keyboard updated
256: - I _hope_ that the X version UAE now always resets keyboard autorepeat.
257: - Option "-A" to control the accuracy of the emulation. Use "-A 0" to
258: restore the old behaviour, which is likely to be somewhat faster.
259: - Solaris sound should actually compile this time.
260: - The built-in debugger has a "M" command to search for sound modules.
261:
262: For versions earlier than 0.6.5, you'll have to read the ChangeLog to find out
263: what's new.
