1.1.1.8 root 12: User-visible changes in 0.8.10:
13: - Audio interpolation
14: - Bugfixes for
15: * disk emulation

22: (most of) them again.
23:
1.1.1.7 root 24: User-visible changes in 0.8.9:
25: - The filesystem emulation should be able to emulate an Amiga FS more
26: accurately. Script/Pure bits and filenotes are kept.
27: - Patrick Ohly contributed SCSI support (currently Linux only) that allows
28: you to (e.g.) use CD writers with the emulator.
29:
30: User-visible changes in 0.8.8:
1.1.1.9 ! root 31: - I'm sure there were some.
1.1.1.7 root 32:
1.1.1.6 root 33: User-visible changes in 0.8.7:
34: - Commandline and configuration file handling has been redone. The old
35: options are now longer supported
1.1.1.7 root 36: - Hardfiles and filesystems are called DHx: instead of UAEx:
1.1.1.6 root 37: - Filesystem emulation supports more 2.0+ packets
38: - FPU works again
39:
1.1.1.5 root 40: User-visible changes in 0.8.6:
41: - Black scanlines implemented ('D' modifier for "-O" option)
42: - Should no longer crash when resetting the emulation
43: - DOS port update
44: - Improvements in X11 and ncurses user interfaces.
45: - Sound can be re-configured at run-time in the UI.
46:
1.1.1.4 root 47: User-visible changes in 0.8.5:
48: - Prettier gtk user interface
49: - Swedish documentation by Jonas Holm Pileborg
50: - Might compile with BSD make
51: - The 68000 MOVEP instruction works properly
52: - Many Win32 code updates - it _might_ compile out of the box for you if
53: your compiler setup is identical to mine
54:
55: User-visible changes in 0.8.4:
56: - The option "-O" has two new modifiers, 'a' and 'p'.
57:
58: User-visible changes in 0.8.3:
59: - Amiga and GGI ports updated
60: - X11 version supports DGA and windowed mode in one binary, hotkeys, and a
61: mouse grabbing mode
1.1.1.3 root 62:
1.1.1.4 root 63: User-visible changes in 0.8.2:
64: - Should compile on *BSD and on non-x86 systems again.
1.1.1.2 root 65: - Better gtk detection (hopefully)
66: - Fixed bugs that made the low bandwidth feature and dithered color output
67: unusable in the X11 version.
1.1.1.4 root 68: - The X11 driver can now display 8 bit Picasso screens even on truecolor X
69: displays.
1.1.1.2 root 70:
1.1.1.4 root 71: User-visible changes in 0.8.1:
1.1.1.2 root 72: - BeOS update (Christian Bauer)
1.1.1.4 root 73: - New copper code that should be more exact and maybe a little bit faster.
74: - Picasso bug fixed that caused corruption of window scrollbars.
75: - Fix for problems in interlace modes on line doubled displays.
76: - The CPU emulation can try to approximate the speed of a 7MHz A500.
1.1.1.2 root 77:
1.1.1.4 root 78: User-visible changes in 0.8.0:
79: - Better support for some BSD variants.
1.1.1.2 root 80: - Fixed a display bug that caused dual playfield displays in high resolution
81: to look wrong.
82: - The gtk UI no longer crashes when the "-G" option is used.
83:
84: User-visible changes in 0.7.0:
85: - Picasso96 graphics card emulation by Brian King.
86: - All CPU emulations (68000, 68010, 68020, 68020 + FPU, 68000 compatible)
87: are now compiled into one binary and selectable at run-time.
88: - Many changes in hardfile support. Now you can mount several hardfiles in
89: arbitrary order. You can specify the geometry for every hardfile.
90: The hardfile device has been renamed to "uaehf.device". Please adjust your
91: MountList entry.
92: - Stereo sound support
93: - UAE has been ported to pOS by Samuel Devulder
94: - New sound back-end that just writes sound to a file.
95: - Improved serial support
96: - The XFree86 VidMode extension is supported; if you use it, the X11 version
97: will switch to the video mode that is "closest" to what you specified on
98: the commandline.
99: - Many minor and major bugfixes
100:
101: User-visible changes in 0.6.9:
102: - The sprite code finally seems to work now (well, mostly :( )
103: - Sprite-to-sprite collisions implemented
104: - EHB and dual playfield modes are faster on x86 systems.
105: - Disk changes should be detected again.
106: - Believe it or not, I think the reset and quit buttons in the UI actually
107: work this time.
108: - POSIX_PENGUINS for Linux systems with glibc-2.0. There's now real hope
109: that it speeds things up on SMP machines (it still slows down single
110: processor machines if it's enabled, though).
111: - The filesystem code should be somewhat more robust. It can also be set up
112: to run multi-threaded. That makes sense even on single processor machines.
113: - The old follow-mouse hack for the X version is disabled. There is now a
114: new Amiga program named "mousehack". Please put it in the directory you
115: use for harddisk emulation and put the command "run >NIL: mousehack" in
116: your startup-sequence.
117: - 4 or 8 MB chip memory are supported.
118: - Two joysticks are supported on Linux systems, as well as several
119: alternative keyboard "fake" joysticks (using two simultaneously is
120: possible). Also, two joystick buttons are now supported.
121: - The SVGAlib/DOS version user interface is a bit improved. It can now be
122: used during the emulation by pressing F11, e.g. for changing disks.
123: - For the non-DGA X11 version, the LOW_BANDWITH and DONT_WANT_SHM compile
124: options have been turned into the -L and -T run-time options.
125: - Linux/GGI port by Christian Schmitt/Stefan Reinauer (untested)
126:
1.1 root 127: User-visible changes in 0.6.8:
128: - This should contain all the necessary files...
129: - Bugfixes
130:
131: User-visible changes in 0.6.7:
132: - Some bugs in the new playfield code removed; some speed improvements
133: - New alternate user-interface for X (note the debugger doesn't completely
134: work yet). The Tk GUI is also improved. Note that I don't use either, so
135: there are no stability guarantees.
136: - The options "-d" and "-C" are replaced with "-O", which allows much better
137: control over the graphics display. The old options will continue to work
138: for a few more releases and will be removed after that.
139: - Yet Another Blitter Bug fixed (Sanity Arte demo)
140: - Blitter control by copper now works (would have worked before if I hadn't
141: forgotten the COPCON register)
142: - On Linux systems (running at least kernel version 1.3.something) UAE can
143: now be set up to run in two threads. That's only potentially useful on SMP
144: machines, it's a performance loss on other machines. It currently is most
145: probably a big performance loss even on SMP machines: The implementation
146: is very primitive. This is just to get started.
147:
148: User-visible changes in 0.6.6:
149: - Playfield hardware emulation almost completely rewritten. It _should_ be
150: somewhat more stable and bugfree, but there's no doubt that there are some
151: new fun and exciting bugs in this version.
152: Features: Interlace drawing merges two frames and should look better, plus
153: it now works with even frame skip values.
154: The copper is more accurate.
155: Sprite DMA works better (see Interference by Sanity)
156: Some other bugs removed.
157: - The spanish keyboard now has a "W".
158: - Nice pictures in the Tk GUI.
159: - The USER_PROGRAMS_BEHAVE compile-time option now "works" even if you don't
160: use the compiler.
161:
162: User-visible changes in 0.6.5:
163: - Bugfixes in the filesystem code and in the compiler
164: - There was some speed loss in 0.6.4, which should be fixed for the i386
165: versions. Actually, UAE won't run on a 386 anymore (uses the bswapl
166: instruction). It would be pointless anyway...
167: - The text user interface in the SVGAlib and DOS versions supports harddisks
168: better
169: - The XFree86 DGA extension is supported.
170: - Italian documentation by Paolo Besser.
171: - Spanish keyboard support for X; French keyboard updated
172: - I _hope_ that the X version UAE now always resets keyboard autorepeat.
173: - Option "-A" to control the accuracy of the emulation. Use "-A 0" to
174: restore the old behaviour, which is likely to be somewhat faster.
175: - Solaris sound should actually compile this time.
176: - The built-in debugger has a "M" command to search for sound modules.
177:
178: For versions earlier than 0.6.5, you'll have to read the ChangeLog to find out
179: what's new.
