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:
1.1.1.4 ! root 5: User-visible changes in 0.8.5:
! 6: - Prettier gtk user interface
! 7: - Swedish documentation by Jonas Holm Pileborg
! 8: - Might compile with BSD make
! 9: - The 68000 MOVEP instruction works properly
! 10: - Many Win32 code updates - it _might_ compile out of the box for you if
! 11: your compiler setup is identical to mine
! 12:
! 13: User-visible changes in 0.8.4:
! 14: - The option "-O" has two new modifiers, 'a' and 'p'.
! 15:
! 16: User-visible changes in 0.8.3:
! 17: - Amiga and GGI ports updated
! 18: - X11 version supports DGA and windowed mode in one binary, hotkeys, and a
! 19: mouse grabbing mode
1.1.1.3 root 20:
1.1.1.4 ! root 21: User-visible changes in 0.8.2:
! 22: - Should compile on *BSD and on non-x86 systems again.
1.1.1.2 root 23: - Better gtk detection (hopefully)
24: - Fixed bugs that made the low bandwidth feature and dithered color output
25: unusable in the X11 version.
1.1.1.4 ! root 26: - The X11 driver can now display 8 bit Picasso screens even on truecolor X
! 27: displays.
1.1.1.2 root 28:
1.1.1.4 ! root 29: User-visible changes in 0.8.1:
1.1.1.2 root 30: - BeOS update (Christian Bauer)
1.1.1.4 ! root 31: - New copper code that should be more exact and maybe a little bit faster.
! 32: - Picasso bug fixed that caused corruption of window scrollbars.
! 33: - Fix for problems in interlace modes on line doubled displays.
! 34: - The CPU emulation can try to approximate the speed of a 7MHz A500.
1.1.1.2 root 35:
1.1.1.4 ! root 36: User-visible changes in 0.8.0:
! 37: - Better support for some BSD variants.
1.1.1.2 root 38: - Fixed a display bug that caused dual playfield displays in high resolution
39: to look wrong.
40: - The gtk UI no longer crashes when the "-G" option is used.
41:
42: User-visible changes in 0.7.0:
43: - Picasso96 graphics card emulation by Brian King.
44: - All CPU emulations (68000, 68010, 68020, 68020 + FPU, 68000 compatible)
45: are now compiled into one binary and selectable at run-time.
46: - Many changes in hardfile support. Now you can mount several hardfiles in
47: arbitrary order. You can specify the geometry for every hardfile.
48: The hardfile device has been renamed to "uaehf.device". Please adjust your
49: MountList entry.
50: - Stereo sound support
51: - UAE has been ported to pOS by Samuel Devulder
52: - New sound back-end that just writes sound to a file.
53: - Improved serial support
54: - The XFree86 VidMode extension is supported; if you use it, the X11 version
55: will switch to the video mode that is "closest" to what you specified on
56: the commandline.
57: - Many minor and major bugfixes
58:
59: User-visible changes in 0.6.9:
60: - The sprite code finally seems to work now (well, mostly :( )
61: - Sprite-to-sprite collisions implemented
62: - EHB and dual playfield modes are faster on x86 systems.
63: - Disk changes should be detected again.
64: - Believe it or not, I think the reset and quit buttons in the UI actually
65: work this time.
66: - POSIX_PENGUINS for Linux systems with glibc-2.0. There's now real hope
67: that it speeds things up on SMP machines (it still slows down single
68: processor machines if it's enabled, though).
69: - The filesystem code should be somewhat more robust. It can also be set up
70: to run multi-threaded. That makes sense even on single processor machines.
71: - The old follow-mouse hack for the X version is disabled. There is now a
72: new Amiga program named "mousehack". Please put it in the directory you
73: use for harddisk emulation and put the command "run >NIL: mousehack" in
74: your startup-sequence.
75: - 4 or 8 MB chip memory are supported.
76: - Two joysticks are supported on Linux systems, as well as several
77: alternative keyboard "fake" joysticks (using two simultaneously is
78: possible). Also, two joystick buttons are now supported.
79: - The SVGAlib/DOS version user interface is a bit improved. It can now be
80: used during the emulation by pressing F11, e.g. for changing disks.
81: - For the non-DGA X11 version, the LOW_BANDWITH and DONT_WANT_SHM compile
82: options have been turned into the -L and -T run-time options.
83: - Linux/GGI port by Christian Schmitt/Stefan Reinauer (untested)
84:
1.1 root 85: User-visible changes in 0.6.8:
86: - This should contain all the necessary files...
87: - Bugfixes
88:
89: User-visible changes in 0.6.7:
90: - Some bugs in the new playfield code removed; some speed improvements
91: - New alternate user-interface for X (note the debugger doesn't completely
92: work yet). The Tk GUI is also improved. Note that I don't use either, so
93: there are no stability guarantees.
94: - The options "-d" and "-C" are replaced with "-O", which allows much better
95: control over the graphics display. The old options will continue to work
96: for a few more releases and will be removed after that.
97: - Yet Another Blitter Bug fixed (Sanity Arte demo)
98: - Blitter control by copper now works (would have worked before if I hadn't
99: forgotten the COPCON register)
100: - On Linux systems (running at least kernel version 1.3.something) UAE can
101: now be set up to run in two threads. That's only potentially useful on SMP
102: machines, it's a performance loss on other machines. It currently is most
103: probably a big performance loss even on SMP machines: The implementation
104: is very primitive. This is just to get started.
105:
106: User-visible changes in 0.6.6:
107: - Playfield hardware emulation almost completely rewritten. It _should_ be
108: somewhat more stable and bugfree, but there's no doubt that there are some
109: new fun and exciting bugs in this version.
110: Features: Interlace drawing merges two frames and should look better, plus
111: it now works with even frame skip values.
112: The copper is more accurate.
113: Sprite DMA works better (see Interference by Sanity)
114: Some other bugs removed.
115: - The spanish keyboard now has a "W".
116: - Nice pictures in the Tk GUI.
117: - The USER_PROGRAMS_BEHAVE compile-time option now "works" even if you don't
118: use the compiler.
119:
120: User-visible changes in 0.6.5:
121: - Bugfixes in the filesystem code and in the compiler
122: - There was some speed loss in 0.6.4, which should be fixed for the i386
123: versions. Actually, UAE won't run on a 386 anymore (uses the bswapl
124: instruction). It would be pointless anyway...
125: - The text user interface in the SVGAlib and DOS versions supports harddisks
126: better
127: - The XFree86 DGA extension is supported.
128: - Italian documentation by Paolo Besser.
129: - Spanish keyboard support for X; French keyboard updated
130: - I _hope_ that the X version UAE now always resets keyboard autorepeat.
131: - Option "-A" to control the accuracy of the emulation. Use "-A 0" to
132: restore the old behaviour, which is likely to be somewhat faster.
133: - Solaris sound should actually compile this time.
134: - The built-in debugger has a "M" command to search for sound modules.
135:
136: For versions earlier than 0.6.5, you'll have to read the ChangeLog to find out
137: what's new.
