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:
1.1.1.23! root 5: User-visible changes in 0.8.26:
! 6: - Compiles with modern gcc versions
! 7: - SDL graphics updated, this is now recommended over native X11 (since DGA
! 8: doesn't work with some graphics drivers these days).
! 9: - Random updates from WinUAE/E-UAE, including
! 10: * Sinc interpolation for audio output.
! 11: - Tries to use gettimeofday in preference to the CPU's rdtsc instruction, as
! 12: the latter isn't totally reliable on all machines.
! 13: - Fixed a bug when switching between Picasso and native modes.
! 14:
1.1.1.22 root 15: User-visible changes in 0.8.25:
16: - More merging with WinUAE; a lot of the input device code has changed
17: - GUI cleaned up.
18: - Quest to eliminate useless options continues: 68000 mode is always "slow
19: but compatible"; it's not that slow after all.
20:
1.1.1.21 root 21: User-visible changes in 0.8.24:
22: - More merging with WinUAE
23: - Now uses GTK2 for the GUI.
24:
1.1.1.20 root 25: User-visible changes in 0.8.23:
26: - Moved over some features from WinUAE:
27: * better m68k exception handling
28: * better m68k prefetch emulation
29: * better debugger
30: - Added ALSA sound support from Heikki Orsila
31:
1.1.1.19 root 32: User-visible changes in 0.8.22:
33: - Mostly bug fixes
34: - Extensive updates for the sprite emulation and blitter timing code.
35: Hopefully more accurate than before.
36:
1.1.1.18 root 37: User-visible changes in 0.8.21:
38: - Several bug fixes, including some serious filesystem emulation bugs.
39: - Support for A1000 boot ROMs.
40:
41: User-visible changes in 0.8.20:
42: - Bug fixes only
43:
1.1.1.17 root 44: User-visible changes in 0.8.19:
45: - A few bug fixes, especially in state-saving.
46: - Picasso screens now support panning.
47:
1.1.1.16 root 48: User-visible changes in 0.8.18:
49: - Numerous bug fixes.
50: - The gtk UI has more options; it also now behaves similar to the GUI found
51: in the Windows version in that it waits for the user to explicitly start
52: the emulation, thus allowing to select the desired options first.
53: - There's a track and LED display added to the bottom of the screen.
54:
1.1.1.15 root 55: User-visible changes in 0.8.17:
56: - AGA should be a bit faster.
57: - AGA sprites emulation added by Toni Wilen.
58: - Numerous bug fixes.
59: - In the Unix version, the gtk UI has a lot more options available.
60: There's a new option "Enable copper speedup code"; I'd be interested in
61: hearing whether there's any software out there that does not work (or
62: runs slower) if this option is enabled.
63: - Now supports image files of high density floppies (Dr. Adil Temel).
64: - Support for A1000 Kickstart disks (Gerald Schnabel).
65: - The option to disable autoconfig devices no longer exists; the emulator
66: automatically recognizes if the Kickstart version is too old.
67: - Numerous improvements for the integrated debugger.
68: - State save/restore implemented by Toni Wilen. At the moment, this is
69: experimental, "use at your own risk" code. It is not guaranteed that
70: future versions of the emulator will be able to read snapshots saved by
71: this version. Test it and report bugs.
72:
1.1.1.14 root 73: User-visible changes in 0.8.16:
74: - AGA playfield support (again) (Toni Wilen)
75: - In addition to plain mono and stereo, there's a new sound setting "mixed".
76: - There's a new option to set CPU speeds more accurately, it's called
77: "finegrain_cpu_speed".
78: - Numerous bug fixes
79: - Graphics should be faster; optimized code was accidentally commented out
80: in the previous release.
81:
1.1.1.13 root 82: User-visible changes in 0.8.15:
83: - A few changes in the core of the custom chip emulation; this should mean
84: more accuracy in general, but likely also a few new bugs in this version.
85: It may be a little slower as well.
86: - "68040" emulation. Dedicated to all the clueless folks out there.
87: (with thanks to Christian Bauer)
88:
1.1.1.12 root 89: User-visible changes in 0.8.14:
90: - More bug fixes:
91: * CPU emulation problem that could have caused copy protection schemes to
92: malfunction has been fixed.
93: * Some AGA problems fixed (one of them visible in ECS modes).
94: * UAE should work again on non-x86 systems.
95: - By default the emulator will try to approximate an A500 in CPU speed.
96: This setting existed before, but it's a bit more accurate now and on by
97: default.
98: - There is a new option to control the number of emulated disk drives.
99: - Software autofire for the keyboard joystick replacements
100:
1.1.1.11 root 101: User-visible changes in 0.8.13:
102: - Bye bye GGI port
103: - Several bugs fixed, mostly in the filesystem code
104: - AGA updates
105:
1.1.1.10 root 106: User-visible changes in 0.8.12:
107: - Several bugfixes
108:
1.1.1.9 root 109: User-visible changes in 0.8.11:
110: - Finally, an accurate copper emulation, thanks to Sam Jordan.
111: - Sprite emulation fixes, also due to Sam Jordan.
112: - Some CPU emulation fixes (Keith Rollin, Toni Wilen, Lauri Pesonen)
113: - Old command line options actually work now.
114: - Some floppy related lockups removed.
115:
1.1.1.8 root 116: User-visible changes in 0.8.10:
117: - Audio interpolation
118: - Bugfixes for
119: * disk emulation
120: * FPU emulation
121: * CPU prefetch emulation (the "compatible" setting).
122: * some 2.0+ filesystem packets
123: * text-based UI (should compile again)
124: * some other parts
125: - People like me who liked the old command line options better can now use
126: (most of) them again.
127:
1.1.1.7 root 128: User-visible changes in 0.8.9:
129: - The filesystem emulation should be able to emulate an Amiga FS more
130: accurately. Script/Pure bits and filenotes are kept.
131: - Patrick Ohly contributed SCSI support (currently Linux only) that allows
132: you to (e.g.) use CD writers with the emulator.
133:
134: User-visible changes in 0.8.8:
1.1.1.9 root 135: - I'm sure there were some.
1.1.1.7 root 136:
1.1.1.6 root 137: User-visible changes in 0.8.7:
138: - Commandline and configuration file handling has been redone. The old
139: options are now longer supported
1.1.1.7 root 140: - Hardfiles and filesystems are called DHx: instead of UAEx:
1.1.1.6 root 141: - Filesystem emulation supports more 2.0+ packets
142: - FPU works again
143:
1.1.1.5 root 144: User-visible changes in 0.8.6:
145: - Black scanlines implemented ('D' modifier for "-O" option)
146: - Should no longer crash when resetting the emulation
147: - DOS port update
148: - Improvements in X11 and ncurses user interfaces.
149: - Sound can be re-configured at run-time in the UI.
150:
1.1.1.4 root 151: User-visible changes in 0.8.5:
152: - Prettier gtk user interface
153: - Swedish documentation by Jonas Holm Pileborg
154: - Might compile with BSD make
155: - The 68000 MOVEP instruction works properly
156: - Many Win32 code updates - it _might_ compile out of the box for you if
157: your compiler setup is identical to mine
158:
159: User-visible changes in 0.8.4:
160: - The option "-O" has two new modifiers, 'a' and 'p'.
161:
162: User-visible changes in 0.8.3:
163: - Amiga and GGI ports updated
164: - X11 version supports DGA and windowed mode in one binary, hotkeys, and a
165: mouse grabbing mode
1.1.1.3 root 166:
1.1.1.4 root 167: User-visible changes in 0.8.2:
168: - Should compile on *BSD and on non-x86 systems again.
1.1.1.2 root 169: - Better gtk detection (hopefully)
170: - Fixed bugs that made the low bandwidth feature and dithered color output
171: unusable in the X11 version.
1.1.1.4 root 172: - The X11 driver can now display 8 bit Picasso screens even on truecolor X
173: displays.
1.1.1.2 root 174:
1.1.1.4 root 175: User-visible changes in 0.8.1:
1.1.1.2 root 176: - BeOS update (Christian Bauer)
1.1.1.4 root 177: - New copper code that should be more exact and maybe a little bit faster.
178: - Picasso bug fixed that caused corruption of window scrollbars.
179: - Fix for problems in interlace modes on line doubled displays.
180: - The CPU emulation can try to approximate the speed of a 7MHz A500.
1.1.1.2 root 181:
1.1.1.4 root 182: User-visible changes in 0.8.0:
183: - Better support for some BSD variants.
1.1.1.2 root 184: - Fixed a display bug that caused dual playfield displays in high resolution
185: to look wrong.
186: - The gtk UI no longer crashes when the "-G" option is used.
187:
188: User-visible changes in 0.7.0:
189: - Picasso96 graphics card emulation by Brian King.
190: - All CPU emulations (68000, 68010, 68020, 68020 + FPU, 68000 compatible)
191: are now compiled into one binary and selectable at run-time.
192: - Many changes in hardfile support. Now you can mount several hardfiles in
193: arbitrary order. You can specify the geometry for every hardfile.
194: The hardfile device has been renamed to "uaehf.device". Please adjust your
195: MountList entry.
196: - Stereo sound support
197: - UAE has been ported to pOS by Samuel Devulder
198: - New sound back-end that just writes sound to a file.
199: - Improved serial support
200: - The XFree86 VidMode extension is supported; if you use it, the X11 version
201: will switch to the video mode that is "closest" to what you specified on
202: the commandline.
203: - Many minor and major bugfixes
204:
205: User-visible changes in 0.6.9:
206: - The sprite code finally seems to work now (well, mostly :( )
207: - Sprite-to-sprite collisions implemented
208: - EHB and dual playfield modes are faster on x86 systems.
209: - Disk changes should be detected again.
210: - Believe it or not, I think the reset and quit buttons in the UI actually
211: work this time.
212: - POSIX_PENGUINS for Linux systems with glibc-2.0. There's now real hope
213: that it speeds things up on SMP machines (it still slows down single
214: processor machines if it's enabled, though).
215: - The filesystem code should be somewhat more robust. It can also be set up
216: to run multi-threaded. That makes sense even on single processor machines.
217: - The old follow-mouse hack for the X version is disabled. There is now a
218: new Amiga program named "mousehack". Please put it in the directory you
219: use for harddisk emulation and put the command "run >NIL: mousehack" in
220: your startup-sequence.
221: - 4 or 8 MB chip memory are supported.
222: - Two joysticks are supported on Linux systems, as well as several
223: alternative keyboard "fake" joysticks (using two simultaneously is
224: possible). Also, two joystick buttons are now supported.
225: - The SVGAlib/DOS version user interface is a bit improved. It can now be
226: used during the emulation by pressing F11, e.g. for changing disks.
227: - For the non-DGA X11 version, the LOW_BANDWITH and DONT_WANT_SHM compile
228: options have been turned into the -L and -T run-time options.
229: - Linux/GGI port by Christian Schmitt/Stefan Reinauer (untested)
230:
1.1 root 231: User-visible changes in 0.6.8:
232: - This should contain all the necessary files...
233: - Bugfixes
234:
235: User-visible changes in 0.6.7:
236: - Some bugs in the new playfield code removed; some speed improvements
237: - New alternate user-interface for X (note the debugger doesn't completely
238: work yet). The Tk GUI is also improved. Note that I don't use either, so
239: there are no stability guarantees.
240: - The options "-d" and "-C" are replaced with "-O", which allows much better
241: control over the graphics display. The old options will continue to work
242: for a few more releases and will be removed after that.
243: - Yet Another Blitter Bug fixed (Sanity Arte demo)
244: - Blitter control by copper now works (would have worked before if I hadn't
245: forgotten the COPCON register)
246: - On Linux systems (running at least kernel version 1.3.something) UAE can
247: now be set up to run in two threads. That's only potentially useful on SMP
248: machines, it's a performance loss on other machines. It currently is most
249: probably a big performance loss even on SMP machines: The implementation
250: is very primitive. This is just to get started.
251:
252: User-visible changes in 0.6.6:
253: - Playfield hardware emulation almost completely rewritten. It _should_ be
254: somewhat more stable and bugfree, but there's no doubt that there are some
255: new fun and exciting bugs in this version.
256: Features: Interlace drawing merges two frames and should look better, plus
257: it now works with even frame skip values.
258: The copper is more accurate.
259: Sprite DMA works better (see Interference by Sanity)
260: Some other bugs removed.
261: - The spanish keyboard now has a "W".
262: - Nice pictures in the Tk GUI.
263: - The USER_PROGRAMS_BEHAVE compile-time option now "works" even if you don't
264: use the compiler.
265:
266: User-visible changes in 0.6.5:
267: - Bugfixes in the filesystem code and in the compiler
268: - There was some speed loss in 0.6.4, which should be fixed for the i386
269: versions. Actually, UAE won't run on a 386 anymore (uses the bswapl
270: instruction). It would be pointless anyway...
271: - The text user interface in the SVGAlib and DOS versions supports harddisks
272: better
273: - The XFree86 DGA extension is supported.
274: - Italian documentation by Paolo Besser.
275: - Spanish keyboard support for X; French keyboard updated
276: - I _hope_ that the X version UAE now always resets keyboard autorepeat.
277: - Option "-A" to control the accuracy of the emulation. Use "-A 0" to
278: restore the old behaviour, which is likely to be somewhat faster.
279: - Solaris sound should actually compile this time.
280: - The built-in debugger has a "M" command to search for sound modules.
281:
282: For versions earlier than 0.6.5, you'll have to read the ChangeLog to find out
283: what's new.
