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:
1.1.1.7 ! root 5: User-visible changes in 0.8.9:
! 6: - The filesystem emulation should be able to emulate an Amiga FS more
! 7: accurately. Script/Pure bits and filenotes are kept.
! 8: - Patrick Ohly contributed SCSI support (currently Linux only) that allows
! 9: you to (e.g.) use CD writers with the emulator.
! 10:
! 11: User-visible changes in 0.8.8:
! 12:
1.1.1.6 root 13: User-visible changes in 0.8.7:
14: - Commandline and configuration file handling has been redone. The old
15: options are now longer supported
1.1.1.7 ! root 16: - Hardfiles and filesystems are called DHx: instead of UAEx:
1.1.1.6 root 17: - Filesystem emulation supports more 2.0+ packets
18: - FPU works again
19:
1.1.1.5 root 20: User-visible changes in 0.8.6:
21: - Black scanlines implemented ('D' modifier for "-O" option)
22: - Should no longer crash when resetting the emulation
23: - DOS port update
24: - Improvements in X11 and ncurses user interfaces.
25: - Sound can be re-configured at run-time in the UI.
26:
1.1.1.4 root 27: User-visible changes in 0.8.5:
28: - Prettier gtk user interface
29: - Swedish documentation by Jonas Holm Pileborg
30: - Might compile with BSD make
31: - The 68000 MOVEP instruction works properly
32: - Many Win32 code updates - it _might_ compile out of the box for you if
33: your compiler setup is identical to mine
34:
35: User-visible changes in 0.8.4:
36: - The option "-O" has two new modifiers, 'a' and 'p'.
37:
38: User-visible changes in 0.8.3:
39: - Amiga and GGI ports updated
40: - X11 version supports DGA and windowed mode in one binary, hotkeys, and a
41: mouse grabbing mode
1.1.1.3 root 42:
1.1.1.4 root 43: User-visible changes in 0.8.2:
44: - Should compile on *BSD and on non-x86 systems again.
1.1.1.2 root 45: - Better gtk detection (hopefully)
46: - Fixed bugs that made the low bandwidth feature and dithered color output
47: unusable in the X11 version.
1.1.1.4 root 48: - The X11 driver can now display 8 bit Picasso screens even on truecolor X
49: displays.
1.1.1.2 root 50:
1.1.1.4 root 51: User-visible changes in 0.8.1:
1.1.1.2 root 52: - BeOS update (Christian Bauer)
1.1.1.4 root 53: - New copper code that should be more exact and maybe a little bit faster.
54: - Picasso bug fixed that caused corruption of window scrollbars.
55: - Fix for problems in interlace modes on line doubled displays.
56: - The CPU emulation can try to approximate the speed of a 7MHz A500.
1.1.1.2 root 57:
1.1.1.4 root 58: User-visible changes in 0.8.0:
59: - Better support for some BSD variants.
1.1.1.2 root 60: - Fixed a display bug that caused dual playfield displays in high resolution
61: to look wrong.
62: - The gtk UI no longer crashes when the "-G" option is used.
63:
64: User-visible changes in 0.7.0:
65: - Picasso96 graphics card emulation by Brian King.
66: - All CPU emulations (68000, 68010, 68020, 68020 + FPU, 68000 compatible)
67: are now compiled into one binary and selectable at run-time.
68: - Many changes in hardfile support. Now you can mount several hardfiles in
69: arbitrary order. You can specify the geometry for every hardfile.
70: The hardfile device has been renamed to "uaehf.device". Please adjust your
71: MountList entry.
72: - Stereo sound support
73: - UAE has been ported to pOS by Samuel Devulder
74: - New sound back-end that just writes sound to a file.
75: - Improved serial support
76: - The XFree86 VidMode extension is supported; if you use it, the X11 version
77: will switch to the video mode that is "closest" to what you specified on
78: the commandline.
79: - Many minor and major bugfixes
80:
81: User-visible changes in 0.6.9:
82: - The sprite code finally seems to work now (well, mostly :( )
83: - Sprite-to-sprite collisions implemented
84: - EHB and dual playfield modes are faster on x86 systems.
85: - Disk changes should be detected again.
86: - Believe it or not, I think the reset and quit buttons in the UI actually
87: work this time.
88: - POSIX_PENGUINS for Linux systems with glibc-2.0. There's now real hope
89: that it speeds things up on SMP machines (it still slows down single
90: processor machines if it's enabled, though).
91: - The filesystem code should be somewhat more robust. It can also be set up
92: to run multi-threaded. That makes sense even on single processor machines.
93: - The old follow-mouse hack for the X version is disabled. There is now a
94: new Amiga program named "mousehack". Please put it in the directory you
95: use for harddisk emulation and put the command "run >NIL: mousehack" in
96: your startup-sequence.
97: - 4 or 8 MB chip memory are supported.
98: - Two joysticks are supported on Linux systems, as well as several
99: alternative keyboard "fake" joysticks (using two simultaneously is
100: possible). Also, two joystick buttons are now supported.
101: - The SVGAlib/DOS version user interface is a bit improved. It can now be
102: used during the emulation by pressing F11, e.g. for changing disks.
103: - For the non-DGA X11 version, the LOW_BANDWITH and DONT_WANT_SHM compile
104: options have been turned into the -L and -T run-time options.
105: - Linux/GGI port by Christian Schmitt/Stefan Reinauer (untested)
106:
1.1 root 107: User-visible changes in 0.6.8:
108: - This should contain all the necessary files...
109: - Bugfixes
110:
111: User-visible changes in 0.6.7:
112: - Some bugs in the new playfield code removed; some speed improvements
113: - New alternate user-interface for X (note the debugger doesn't completely
114: work yet). The Tk GUI is also improved. Note that I don't use either, so
115: there are no stability guarantees.
116: - The options "-d" and "-C" are replaced with "-O", which allows much better
117: control over the graphics display. The old options will continue to work
118: for a few more releases and will be removed after that.
119: - Yet Another Blitter Bug fixed (Sanity Arte demo)
120: - Blitter control by copper now works (would have worked before if I hadn't
121: forgotten the COPCON register)
122: - On Linux systems (running at least kernel version 1.3.something) UAE can
123: now be set up to run in two threads. That's only potentially useful on SMP
124: machines, it's a performance loss on other machines. It currently is most
125: probably a big performance loss even on SMP machines: The implementation
126: is very primitive. This is just to get started.
127:
128: User-visible changes in 0.6.6:
129: - Playfield hardware emulation almost completely rewritten. It _should_ be
130: somewhat more stable and bugfree, but there's no doubt that there are some
131: new fun and exciting bugs in this version.
132: Features: Interlace drawing merges two frames and should look better, plus
133: it now works with even frame skip values.
134: The copper is more accurate.
135: Sprite DMA works better (see Interference by Sanity)
136: Some other bugs removed.
137: - The spanish keyboard now has a "W".
138: - Nice pictures in the Tk GUI.
139: - The USER_PROGRAMS_BEHAVE compile-time option now "works" even if you don't
140: use the compiler.
141:
142: User-visible changes in 0.6.5:
143: - Bugfixes in the filesystem code and in the compiler
144: - There was some speed loss in 0.6.4, which should be fixed for the i386
145: versions. Actually, UAE won't run on a 386 anymore (uses the bswapl
146: instruction). It would be pointless anyway...
147: - The text user interface in the SVGAlib and DOS versions supports harddisks
148: better
149: - The XFree86 DGA extension is supported.
150: - Italian documentation by Paolo Besser.
151: - Spanish keyboard support for X; French keyboard updated
152: - I _hope_ that the X version UAE now always resets keyboard autorepeat.
153: - Option "-A" to control the accuracy of the emulation. Use "-A 0" to
154: restore the old behaviour, which is likely to be somewhat faster.
155: - Solaris sound should actually compile this time.
156: - The built-in debugger has a "M" command to search for sound modules.
157:
158: For versions earlier than 0.6.5, you'll have to read the ChangeLog to find out
159: what's new.
