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:
1.1.1.6 ! root 5: User-visible changes in 0.8.7:
! 6: - Commandline and configuration file handling has been redone. The old
! 7: options are now longer supported
! 8: - Hardfiles and filesystems are called DHx: instead of UAEx:"
! 9: - Filesystem emulation supports more 2.0+ packets
! 10: - FPU works again
! 11:
1.1.1.5 root 12: User-visible changes in 0.8.6:
13: - Black scanlines implemented ('D' modifier for "-O" option)
14: - Should no longer crash when resetting the emulation
15: - DOS port update
16: - Improvements in X11 and ncurses user interfaces.
17: - Sound can be re-configured at run-time in the UI.
18:
1.1.1.4 root 19: User-visible changes in 0.8.5:
20: - Prettier gtk user interface
21: - Swedish documentation by Jonas Holm Pileborg
22: - Might compile with BSD make
23: - The 68000 MOVEP instruction works properly
24: - Many Win32 code updates - it _might_ compile out of the box for you if
25: your compiler setup is identical to mine
26:
27: User-visible changes in 0.8.4:
28: - The option "-O" has two new modifiers, 'a' and 'p'.
29:
30: User-visible changes in 0.8.3:
31: - Amiga and GGI ports updated
32: - X11 version supports DGA and windowed mode in one binary, hotkeys, and a
33: mouse grabbing mode
1.1.1.3 root 34:
1.1.1.4 root 35: User-visible changes in 0.8.2:
36: - Should compile on *BSD and on non-x86 systems again.
1.1.1.2 root 37: - Better gtk detection (hopefully)
38: - Fixed bugs that made the low bandwidth feature and dithered color output
39: unusable in the X11 version.
1.1.1.4 root 40: - The X11 driver can now display 8 bit Picasso screens even on truecolor X
41: displays.
1.1.1.2 root 42:
1.1.1.4 root 43: User-visible changes in 0.8.1:
1.1.1.2 root 44: - BeOS update (Christian Bauer)
1.1.1.4 root 45: - New copper code that should be more exact and maybe a little bit faster.
46: - Picasso bug fixed that caused corruption of window scrollbars.
47: - Fix for problems in interlace modes on line doubled displays.
48: - The CPU emulation can try to approximate the speed of a 7MHz A500.
1.1.1.2 root 49:
1.1.1.4 root 50: User-visible changes in 0.8.0:
51: - Better support for some BSD variants.
1.1.1.2 root 52: - Fixed a display bug that caused dual playfield displays in high resolution
53: to look wrong.
54: - The gtk UI no longer crashes when the "-G" option is used.
55:
56: User-visible changes in 0.7.0:
57: - Picasso96 graphics card emulation by Brian King.
58: - All CPU emulations (68000, 68010, 68020, 68020 + FPU, 68000 compatible)
59: are now compiled into one binary and selectable at run-time.
60: - Many changes in hardfile support. Now you can mount several hardfiles in
61: arbitrary order. You can specify the geometry for every hardfile.
62: The hardfile device has been renamed to "uaehf.device". Please adjust your
63: MountList entry.
64: - Stereo sound support
65: - UAE has been ported to pOS by Samuel Devulder
66: - New sound back-end that just writes sound to a file.
67: - Improved serial support
68: - The XFree86 VidMode extension is supported; if you use it, the X11 version
69: will switch to the video mode that is "closest" to what you specified on
70: the commandline.
71: - Many minor and major bugfixes
72:
73: User-visible changes in 0.6.9:
74: - The sprite code finally seems to work now (well, mostly :( )
75: - Sprite-to-sprite collisions implemented
76: - EHB and dual playfield modes are faster on x86 systems.
77: - Disk changes should be detected again.
78: - Believe it or not, I think the reset and quit buttons in the UI actually
79: work this time.
80: - POSIX_PENGUINS for Linux systems with glibc-2.0. There's now real hope
81: that it speeds things up on SMP machines (it still slows down single
82: processor machines if it's enabled, though).
83: - The filesystem code should be somewhat more robust. It can also be set up
84: to run multi-threaded. That makes sense even on single processor machines.
85: - The old follow-mouse hack for the X version is disabled. There is now a
86: new Amiga program named "mousehack". Please put it in the directory you
87: use for harddisk emulation and put the command "run >NIL: mousehack" in
88: your startup-sequence.
89: - 4 or 8 MB chip memory are supported.
90: - Two joysticks are supported on Linux systems, as well as several
91: alternative keyboard "fake" joysticks (using two simultaneously is
92: possible). Also, two joystick buttons are now supported.
93: - The SVGAlib/DOS version user interface is a bit improved. It can now be
94: used during the emulation by pressing F11, e.g. for changing disks.
95: - For the non-DGA X11 version, the LOW_BANDWITH and DONT_WANT_SHM compile
96: options have been turned into the -L and -T run-time options.
97: - Linux/GGI port by Christian Schmitt/Stefan Reinauer (untested)
98:
1.1 root 99: User-visible changes in 0.6.8:
100: - This should contain all the necessary files...
101: - Bugfixes
102:
103: User-visible changes in 0.6.7:
104: - Some bugs in the new playfield code removed; some speed improvements
105: - New alternate user-interface for X (note the debugger doesn't completely
106: work yet). The Tk GUI is also improved. Note that I don't use either, so
107: there are no stability guarantees.
108: - The options "-d" and "-C" are replaced with "-O", which allows much better
109: control over the graphics display. The old options will continue to work
110: for a few more releases and will be removed after that.
111: - Yet Another Blitter Bug fixed (Sanity Arte demo)
112: - Blitter control by copper now works (would have worked before if I hadn't
113: forgotten the COPCON register)
114: - On Linux systems (running at least kernel version 1.3.something) UAE can
115: now be set up to run in two threads. That's only potentially useful on SMP
116: machines, it's a performance loss on other machines. It currently is most
117: probably a big performance loss even on SMP machines: The implementation
118: is very primitive. This is just to get started.
119:
120: User-visible changes in 0.6.6:
121: - Playfield hardware emulation almost completely rewritten. It _should_ be
122: somewhat more stable and bugfree, but there's no doubt that there are some
123: new fun and exciting bugs in this version.
124: Features: Interlace drawing merges two frames and should look better, plus
125: it now works with even frame skip values.
126: The copper is more accurate.
127: Sprite DMA works better (see Interference by Sanity)
128: Some other bugs removed.
129: - The spanish keyboard now has a "W".
130: - Nice pictures in the Tk GUI.
131: - The USER_PROGRAMS_BEHAVE compile-time option now "works" even if you don't
132: use the compiler.
133:
134: User-visible changes in 0.6.5:
135: - Bugfixes in the filesystem code and in the compiler
136: - There was some speed loss in 0.6.4, which should be fixed for the i386
137: versions. Actually, UAE won't run on a 386 anymore (uses the bswapl
138: instruction). It would be pointless anyway...
139: - The text user interface in the SVGAlib and DOS versions supports harddisks
140: better
141: - The XFree86 DGA extension is supported.
142: - Italian documentation by Paolo Besser.
143: - Spanish keyboard support for X; French keyboard updated
144: - I _hope_ that the X version UAE now always resets keyboard autorepeat.
145: - Option "-A" to control the accuracy of the emulation. Use "-A 0" to
146: restore the old behaviour, which is likely to be somewhat faster.
147: - Solaris sound should actually compile this time.
148: - The built-in debugger has a "M" command to search for sound modules.
149:
150: For versions earlier than 0.6.5, you'll have to read the ChangeLog to find out
151: what's new.
