1.1.1.22! root 5: User-visible changes in 0.8.25:
! 6: - More merging with WinUAE; a lot of the input device code has changed
! 7: - GUI cleaned up.
! 8: - Quest to eliminate useless options continues: 68000 mode is always "slow
! 9: but compatible"; it's not that slow after all.
! 10:
1.1.1.21 root 11: User-visible changes in 0.8.24:
12: - More merging with WinUAE
13: - Now uses GTK2 for the GUI.
14:
1.1.1.20 root 15: User-visible changes in 0.8.23:
16: - Moved over some features from WinUAE:
17: * better m68k exception handling
18: * better m68k prefetch emulation
19: * better debugger
20: - Added ALSA sound support from Heikki Orsila
21:
1.1.1.19 root 22: User-visible changes in 0.8.22:
23: - Mostly bug fixes
24: - Extensive updates for the sprite emulation and blitter timing code.
25: Hopefully more accurate than before.
26:
1.1.1.18 root 27: User-visible changes in 0.8.21:
28: - Several bug fixes, including some serious filesystem emulation bugs.
29: - Support for A1000 boot ROMs.
30:
31: User-visible changes in 0.8.20:
32: - Bug fixes only
33:
1.1.1.17 root 34: User-visible changes in 0.8.19:
35: - A few bug fixes, especially in state-saving.
36: - Picasso screens now support panning.
37:
1.1.1.16 root 38: User-visible changes in 0.8.18:
39: - Numerous bug fixes.
40: - The gtk UI has more options; it also now behaves similar to the GUI found
41: in the Windows version in that it waits for the user to explicitly start
42: the emulation, thus allowing to select the desired options first.
43: - There's a track and LED display added to the bottom of the screen.
44:
1.1.1.15 root 45: User-visible changes in 0.8.17:
46: - AGA should be a bit faster.
47: - AGA sprites emulation added by Toni Wilen.
48: - Numerous bug fixes.
49: - In the Unix version, the gtk UI has a lot more options available.
50: There's a new option "Enable copper speedup code"; I'd be interested in
51: hearing whether there's any software out there that does not work (or
52: runs slower) if this option is enabled.
53: - Now supports image files of high density floppies (Dr. Adil Temel).
54: - Support for A1000 Kickstart disks (Gerald Schnabel).
55: - The option to disable autoconfig devices no longer exists; the emulator
56: automatically recognizes if the Kickstart version is too old.
57: - Numerous improvements for the integrated debugger.
58: - State save/restore implemented by Toni Wilen. At the moment, this is
59: experimental, "use at your own risk" code. It is not guaranteed that
60: future versions of the emulator will be able to read snapshots saved by
61: this version. Test it and report bugs.
62:
1.1.1.14 root 63: User-visible changes in 0.8.16:
64: - AGA playfield support (again) (Toni Wilen)
65: - In addition to plain mono and stereo, there's a new sound setting "mixed".
66: - There's a new option to set CPU speeds more accurately, it's called
67: "finegrain_cpu_speed".
68: - Numerous bug fixes
69: - Graphics should be faster; optimized code was accidentally commented out
70: in the previous release.
71:
1.1.1.13 root 72: User-visible changes in 0.8.15:
73: - A few changes in the core of the custom chip emulation; this should mean
74: more accuracy in general, but likely also a few new bugs in this version.
75: It may be a little slower as well.
76: - "68040" emulation. Dedicated to all the clueless folks out there.
77: (with thanks to Christian Bauer)
78:
1.1.1.12 root 79: User-visible changes in 0.8.14:
80: - More bug fixes:
81: * CPU emulation problem that could have caused copy protection schemes to
82: malfunction has been fixed.
83: * Some AGA problems fixed (one of them visible in ECS modes).
84: * UAE should work again on non-x86 systems.
85: - By default the emulator will try to approximate an A500 in CPU speed.
86: This setting existed before, but it's a bit more accurate now and on by
87: default.
88: - There is a new option to control the number of emulated disk drives.
89: - Software autofire for the keyboard joystick replacements
90:
1.1.1.11 root 91: User-visible changes in 0.8.13:
92: - Bye bye GGI port
93: - Several bugs fixed, mostly in the filesystem code
94: - AGA updates
95:
1.1.1.10 root 96: User-visible changes in 0.8.12:
97: - Several bugfixes
98:
1.1.1.9 root 99: User-visible changes in 0.8.11:

101: - Sprite emulation fixes, also due to Sam Jordan.
102: - Some CPU emulation fixes (Keith Rollin, Toni Wilen, Lauri Pesonen)
103: - Old command line options actually work now.
104: - Some floppy related lockups removed.
105:
1.1.1.8 root 106: User-visible changes in 0.8.10:
107: - Audio interpolation
108: - Bugfixes for
109: * disk emulation
110: * FPU emulation
111: * CPU prefetch emulation (the "compatible" setting).
112: * some 2.0+ filesystem packets
113: * text-based UI (should compile again)
114: * some other parts
115: - People like me who liked the old command line options better can now use
116: (most of) them again.
117:
1.1.1.7 root 118: User-visible changes in 0.8.9:
119: - The filesystem emulation should be able to emulate an Amiga FS more
120: accurately. Script/Pure bits and filenotes are kept.
121: - Patrick Ohly contributed SCSI support (currently Linux only) that allows
122: you to (e.g.) use CD writers with the emulator.
123:
124: User-visible changes in 0.8.8:
1.1.1.9 root 125: - I'm sure there were some.
1.1.1.7 root 126:
1.1.1.6 root 127: User-visible changes in 0.8.7:
128: - Commandline and configuration file handling has been redone. The old
129: options are now longer supported
1.1.1.7 root 130: - Hardfiles and filesystems are called DHx: instead of UAEx:
1.1.1.6 root 131: - Filesystem emulation supports more 2.0+ packets
132: - FPU works again
133:
1.1.1.5 root 134: User-visible changes in 0.8.6:
135: - Black scanlines implemented ('D' modifier for "-O" option)
136: - Should no longer crash when resetting the emulation
137: - DOS port update
138: - Improvements in X11 and ncurses user interfaces.
139: - Sound can be re-configured at run-time in the UI.
140:
1.1.1.4 root 141: User-visible changes in 0.8.5:
142: - Prettier gtk user interface
143: - Swedish documentation by Jonas Holm Pileborg
144: - Might compile with BSD make
145: - The 68000 MOVEP instruction works properly
146: - Many Win32 code updates - it _might_ compile out of the box for you if
147: your compiler setup is identical to mine
148:
149: User-visible changes in 0.8.4:
150: - The option "-O" has two new modifiers, 'a' and 'p'.
151:
152: User-visible changes in 0.8.3:
153: - Amiga and GGI ports updated
154: - X11 version supports DGA and windowed mode in one binary, hotkeys, and a
155: mouse grabbing mode
1.1.1.3 root 156:
1.1.1.4 root 157: User-visible changes in 0.8.2:
158: - Should compile on *BSD and on non-x86 systems again.
1.1.1.2 root 159: - Better gtk detection (hopefully)
160: - Fixed bugs that made the low bandwidth feature and dithered color output
161: unusable in the X11 version.
1.1.1.4 root 162: - The X11 driver can now display 8 bit Picasso screens even on truecolor X
163: displays.
1.1.1.2 root 164:
1.1.1.4 root 165: User-visible changes in 0.8.1:
1.1.1.2 root 166: - BeOS update (Christian Bauer)
1.1.1.4 root 167: - New copper code that should be more exact and maybe a little bit faster.
168: - Picasso bug fixed that caused corruption of window scrollbars.
169: - Fix for problems in interlace modes on line doubled displays.
170: - The CPU emulation can try to approximate the speed of a 7MHz A500.
1.1.1.2 root 171:
1.1.1.4 root 172: User-visible changes in 0.8.0:
173: - Better support for some BSD variants.
1.1.1.2 root 174: - Fixed a display bug that caused dual playfield displays in high resolution
175: to look wrong.
176: - The gtk UI no longer crashes when the "-G" option is used.
177:
178: User-visible changes in 0.7.0:
179: - Picasso96 graphics card emulation by Brian King.
180: - All CPU emulations (68000, 68010, 68020, 68020 + FPU, 68000 compatible)
181: are now compiled into one binary and selectable at run-time.
182: - Many changes in hardfile support. Now you can mount several hardfiles in
183: arbitrary order. You can specify the geometry for every hardfile.
184: The hardfile device has been renamed to "uaehf.device". Please adjust your
185: MountList entry.
186: - Stereo sound support
187: - UAE has been ported to pOS by Samuel Devulder
188: - New sound back-end that just writes sound to a file.
189: - Improved serial support
190: - The XFree86 VidMode extension is supported; if you use it, the X11 version
191: will switch to the video mode that is "closest" to what you specified on
192: the commandline.
193: - Many minor and major bugfixes
194:
195: User-visible changes in 0.6.9:
196: - The sprite code finally seems to work now (well, mostly :( )
197: - Sprite-to-sprite collisions implemented
198: - EHB and dual playfield modes are faster on x86 systems.
199: - Disk changes should be detected again.
200: - Believe it or not, I think the reset and quit buttons in the UI actually
201: work this time.
202: - POSIX_PENGUINS for Linux systems with glibc-2.0. There's now real hope
203: that it speeds things up on SMP machines (it still slows down single
204: processor machines if it's enabled, though).
205: - The filesystem code should be somewhat more robust. It can also be set up
206: to run multi-threaded. That makes sense even on single processor machines.
207: - The old follow-mouse hack for the X version is disabled. There is now a
208: new Amiga program named "mousehack". Please put it in the directory you
209: use for harddisk emulation and put the command "run >NIL: mousehack" in
210: your startup-sequence.
211: - 4 or 8 MB chip memory are supported.
212: - Two joysticks are supported on Linux systems, as well as several
213: alternative keyboard "fake" joysticks (using two simultaneously is
214: possible). Also, two joystick buttons are now supported.
215: - The SVGAlib/DOS version user interface is a bit improved. It can now be
216: used during the emulation by pressing F11, e.g. for changing disks.
217: - For the non-DGA X11 version, the LOW_BANDWITH and DONT_WANT_SHM compile
218: options have been turned into the -L and -T run-time options.
219: - Linux/GGI port by Christian Schmitt/Stefan Reinauer (untested)
220:
1.1 root 221: User-visible changes in 0.6.8:
222: - This should contain all the necessary files...
223: - Bugfixes
224:
225: User-visible changes in 0.6.7:
226: - Some bugs in the new playfield code removed; some speed improvements
227: - New alternate user-interface for X (note the debugger doesn't completely
228: work yet). The Tk GUI is also improved. Note that I don't use either, so
229: there are no stability guarantees.
230: - The options "-d" and "-C" are replaced with "-O", which allows much better
231: control over the graphics display. The old options will continue to work
232: for a few more releases and will be removed after that.
233: - Yet Another Blitter Bug fixed (Sanity Arte demo)
234: - Blitter control by copper now works (would have worked before if I hadn't
235: forgotten the COPCON register)
236: - On Linux systems (running at least kernel version 1.3.something) UAE can
237: now be set up to run in two threads. That's only potentially useful on SMP
238: machines, it's a performance loss on other machines. It currently is most
239: probably a big performance loss even on SMP machines: The implementation
240: is very primitive. This is just to get started.
241:
242: User-visible changes in 0.6.6:
243: - Playfield hardware emulation almost completely rewritten. It _should_ be
244: somewhat more stable and bugfree, but there's no doubt that there are some
245: new fun and exciting bugs in this version.
246: Features: Interlace drawing merges two frames and should look better, plus
247: it now works with even frame skip values.
248: The copper is more accurate.
249: Sprite DMA works better (see Interference by Sanity)
250: Some other bugs removed.
251: - The spanish keyboard now has a "W".
252: - Nice pictures in the Tk GUI.
253: - The USER_PROGRAMS_BEHAVE compile-time option now "works" even if you don't
254: use the compiler.
255:
256: User-visible changes in 0.6.5:
257: - Bugfixes in the filesystem code and in the compiler
258: - There was some speed loss in 0.6.4, which should be fixed for the i386
259: versions. Actually, UAE won't run on a 386 anymore (uses the bswapl
260: instruction). It would be pointless anyway...
261: - The text user interface in the SVGAlib and DOS versions supports harddisks
262: better
263: - The XFree86 DGA extension is supported.
264: - Italian documentation by Paolo Besser.
265: - Spanish keyboard support for X; French keyboard updated
266: - I _hope_ that the X version UAE now always resets keyboard autorepeat.
267: - Option "-A" to control the accuracy of the emulation. Use "-A 0" to
268: restore the old behaviour, which is likely to be somewhat faster.
269: - Solaris sound should actually compile this time.
270: - The built-in debugger has a "M" command to search for sound modules.
271:
272: For versions earlier than 0.6.5, you'll have to read the ChangeLog to find out
273: what's new.
