1.1.1.8 ! root 5: User-visible changes in 0.8.10:
! 6: - Audio interpolation
! 7: - Bugfixes for
! 8: * disk emulation

! 13: * some other parts
! 14: - People like me who liked the old command line options better can now use
! 15: (most of) them again.
! 16:
1.1.1.7 root 17: User-visible changes in 0.8.9:
18: - The filesystem emulation should be able to emulate an Amiga FS more
19: accurately. Script/Pure bits and filenotes are kept.
20: - Patrick Ohly contributed SCSI support (currently Linux only) that allows
21: you to (e.g.) use CD writers with the emulator.
22:
23: User-visible changes in 0.8.8:
24:
1.1.1.6 root 25: User-visible changes in 0.8.7:
26: - Commandline and configuration file handling has been redone. The old
27: options are now longer supported
1.1.1.7 root 28: - Hardfiles and filesystems are called DHx: instead of UAEx:
1.1.1.6 root 29: - Filesystem emulation supports more 2.0+ packets
30: - FPU works again
31:
1.1.1.5 root 32: User-visible changes in 0.8.6:
33: - Black scanlines implemented ('D' modifier for "-O" option)
34: - Should no longer crash when resetting the emulation
35: - DOS port update
36: - Improvements in X11 and ncurses user interfaces.
37: - Sound can be re-configured at run-time in the UI.
38:
1.1.1.4 root 39: User-visible changes in 0.8.5:
40: - Prettier gtk user interface
41: - Swedish documentation by Jonas Holm Pileborg
42: - Might compile with BSD make
43: - The 68000 MOVEP instruction works properly
44: - Many Win32 code updates - it _might_ compile out of the box for you if
45: your compiler setup is identical to mine
46:
47: User-visible changes in 0.8.4:
48: - The option "-O" has two new modifiers, 'a' and 'p'.
49:
50: User-visible changes in 0.8.3:
51: - Amiga and GGI ports updated
52: - X11 version supports DGA and windowed mode in one binary, hotkeys, and a
53: mouse grabbing mode
1.1.1.3 root 54:
1.1.1.4 root 55: User-visible changes in 0.8.2:
56: - Should compile on *BSD and on non-x86 systems again.
1.1.1.2 root 57: - Better gtk detection (hopefully)
58: - Fixed bugs that made the low bandwidth feature and dithered color output
59: unusable in the X11 version.
1.1.1.4 root 60: - The X11 driver can now display 8 bit Picasso screens even on truecolor X
61: displays.
1.1.1.2 root 62:
1.1.1.4 root 63: User-visible changes in 0.8.1:
1.1.1.2 root 64: - BeOS update (Christian Bauer)
1.1.1.4 root 65: - New copper code that should be more exact and maybe a little bit faster.
66: - Picasso bug fixed that caused corruption of window scrollbars.
67: - Fix for problems in interlace modes on line doubled displays.
68: - The CPU emulation can try to approximate the speed of a 7MHz A500.
1.1.1.2 root 69:
1.1.1.4 root 70: User-visible changes in 0.8.0:
71: - Better support for some BSD variants.
1.1.1.2 root 72: - Fixed a display bug that caused dual playfield displays in high resolution
73: to look wrong.
74: - The gtk UI no longer crashes when the "-G" option is used.
75:
76: User-visible changes in 0.7.0:
77: - Picasso96 graphics card emulation by Brian King.
78: - All CPU emulations (68000, 68010, 68020, 68020 + FPU, 68000 compatible)
79: are now compiled into one binary and selectable at run-time.
80: - Many changes in hardfile support. Now you can mount several hardfiles in
81: arbitrary order. You can specify the geometry for every hardfile.
82: The hardfile device has been renamed to "uaehf.device". Please adjust your
83: MountList entry.
84: - Stereo sound support
85: - UAE has been ported to pOS by Samuel Devulder
86: - New sound back-end that just writes sound to a file.
87: - Improved serial support
88: - The XFree86 VidMode extension is supported; if you use it, the X11 version
89: will switch to the video mode that is "closest" to what you specified on
90: the commandline.
91: - Many minor and major bugfixes
92:
93: User-visible changes in 0.6.9:
94: - The sprite code finally seems to work now (well, mostly :( )
95: - Sprite-to-sprite collisions implemented
96: - EHB and dual playfield modes are faster on x86 systems.
97: - Disk changes should be detected again.
98: - Believe it or not, I think the reset and quit buttons in the UI actually
99: work this time.
100: - POSIX_PENGUINS for Linux systems with glibc-2.0. There's now real hope
101: that it speeds things up on SMP machines (it still slows down single
102: processor machines if it's enabled, though).
103: - The filesystem code should be somewhat more robust. It can also be set up
104: to run multi-threaded. That makes sense even on single processor machines.
105: - The old follow-mouse hack for the X version is disabled. There is now a
106: new Amiga program named "mousehack". Please put it in the directory you
107: use for harddisk emulation and put the command "run >NIL: mousehack" in
108: your startup-sequence.
109: - 4 or 8 MB chip memory are supported.
110: - Two joysticks are supported on Linux systems, as well as several
111: alternative keyboard "fake" joysticks (using two simultaneously is
112: possible). Also, two joystick buttons are now supported.
113: - The SVGAlib/DOS version user interface is a bit improved. It can now be
114: used during the emulation by pressing F11, e.g. for changing disks.
115: - For the non-DGA X11 version, the LOW_BANDWITH and DONT_WANT_SHM compile
116: options have been turned into the -L and -T run-time options.
117: - Linux/GGI port by Christian Schmitt/Stefan Reinauer (untested)
118:
1.1 root 119: User-visible changes in 0.6.8:
120: - This should contain all the necessary files...
121: - Bugfixes
122:
123: User-visible changes in 0.6.7:
124: - Some bugs in the new playfield code removed; some speed improvements
125: - New alternate user-interface for X (note the debugger doesn't completely
126: work yet). The Tk GUI is also improved. Note that I don't use either, so
127: there are no stability guarantees.
128: - The options "-d" and "-C" are replaced with "-O", which allows much better
129: control over the graphics display. The old options will continue to work
130: for a few more releases and will be removed after that.
131: - Yet Another Blitter Bug fixed (Sanity Arte demo)
132: - Blitter control by copper now works (would have worked before if I hadn't
133: forgotten the COPCON register)
134: - On Linux systems (running at least kernel version 1.3.something) UAE can
135: now be set up to run in two threads. That's only potentially useful on SMP
136: machines, it's a performance loss on other machines. It currently is most
137: probably a big performance loss even on SMP machines: The implementation
138: is very primitive. This is just to get started.
139:
140: User-visible changes in 0.6.6:
141: - Playfield hardware emulation almost completely rewritten. It _should_ be
142: somewhat more stable and bugfree, but there's no doubt that there are some
143: new fun and exciting bugs in this version.
144: Features: Interlace drawing merges two frames and should look better, plus
145: it now works with even frame skip values.
146: The copper is more accurate.
147: Sprite DMA works better (see Interference by Sanity)
148: Some other bugs removed.
149: - The spanish keyboard now has a "W".
150: - Nice pictures in the Tk GUI.
151: - The USER_PROGRAMS_BEHAVE compile-time option now "works" even if you don't
152: use the compiler.
153:
154: User-visible changes in 0.6.5:
155: - Bugfixes in the filesystem code and in the compiler
156: - There was some speed loss in 0.6.4, which should be fixed for the i386
157: versions. Actually, UAE won't run on a 386 anymore (uses the bswapl
158: instruction). It would be pointless anyway...
159: - The text user interface in the SVGAlib and DOS versions supports harddisks
160: better
161: - The XFree86 DGA extension is supported.
162: - Italian documentation by Paolo Besser.
163: - Spanish keyboard support for X; French keyboard updated
164: - I _hope_ that the X version UAE now always resets keyboard autorepeat.
165: - Option "-A" to control the accuracy of the emulation. Use "-A 0" to
166: restore the old behaviour, which is likely to be somewhat faster.
167: - Solaris sound should actually compile this time.
168: - The built-in debugger has a "M" command to search for sound modules.
169:
170: For versions earlier than 0.6.5, you'll have to read the ChangeLog to find out
171: what's new.
