Annotation of uae/src/ChangeLog, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1: 960905 Lower 8 bits of POTGOR should be 0.
                      2: 960904 Implement MULU, MULS, ADDX and SUBX in compiler.
                      3: 960903 ncurses interface works. DOS people: please use the new portable tui.c
                      4:        and turn dos-ui.c into a frontend for conio.h, similar to svgancui.c
                      5:        In xui.c, unlink the temporary files ASAP.
                      6:        Two new command-line options, "-o" and "-G".
                      7:        Get rid of sz_unknown.
                      8:        compiler.h, compiler.c: New files.
                      9:        filesys.c, action_read(): Added a hack to test whether the first four
                     10:        bytes read from a file a file contain 0x000003F3 (HUNK_HEADER), in
                     11:        which case there's probably a LoadSeg() call going on and we ought to
                     12:        flush the cache. Also, use the fact that memory is now linear.
                     13: 960902 Struggle a bit with dos-ui.c, rename it to tui.c (text-based ui), add
                     14:        new file svgancui.c (ncurses ui) and try to make these two understand
                     15:        each other.
                     16: 960829 New transdisk from Stefan Ropke (can write images)
                     17:        Apply Patrick Hanevolds BeBox patches.
                     18: 96082x many changes to Exec. Still not booting (DMACON seems not to be set up
                     19:        properly, and sometimes Signal is called with task==0).
                     20: 960821 Solaris sound from Manfred Thole.
                     21: 960820 In filesys.c, get_fileinfo(), return volume name for top-level 
                     22:        directory.
                     23: 960819 Reimplement WritePixel(). Layer locking is still missing.
                     24: 960818 Reverse meaning of -x flag for X11. More Exec code.
                     25:        Several changes to the main CPU loop and the way call traps work.
                     26: 960817 Implement some simple Exec functions (Lists, AllocMem & friends)
                     27: 960816 filesys.c fixes from David Varley.
                     28: 960815 Implement graphics library region functions.
                     29: 960814 Modify memory layout: All memory is linear now; get_real_address()
                     30:        returns a (UBYTE *).
                     31: 960810 Add Gustavo's latest DOS code.
                     32:        In configure, include <sys/param.h> earlier for the sake of some *BSD.
                     33:        Add three options for sound code (bits, frequency, buffer size).
                     34:        Make -S option take a parameter; remove SPEED_UP_SIDMON_MODULES.
                     35:        New version of transrom (return 0, duh).
                     36: 960805 Fixed the blitter line mode emulation (this time, really! I hope.)
                     37:        Thanks to Fabio Ciucci for a detailed description of the correct
                     38:        behaviour.
                     39: 960730 Spent the last three days trying to make the filesystem emulation
                     40:        bootable by adding an expansion device for it. A fair bit of trial and
                     41:        error, but now it works! Even the hardfile now works with Kick 1.3, but
                     42:        you have to mount it manually after booting.
                     43:        hardfile.c, filesys.c, expansion.c and autoconf.c now are an
                     44:        entangled mess which badly needs to be cleaned up.
                     45:        We can now mount more than one filesystem even with Kick 1.3: we
                     46:        recognize them by param 2 of the startup packet, which has the same
                     47:        value as the dn_Startup field of the devicenode.
                     48:        Make Kickstart replacement work again (didn't like the CPU emulator
                     49:        changes)
                     50:        Include preliminary serial support from Stefan Reinauer.
                     51: 960728 Fixed the scancodes for <> and #' keys in svga.c
                     52:        Apparently, CIA timer latches ought to be 0xFFFF after a reset
                     53:        (prevents Eagleplayer from crashing occasionally). #ifdeffed out a
                     54:        slightly weird call to INTREQ from RehtinkICRB()
                     55: 960727 Sound code rewritten again. Now uses events (five new ones). All 
                     56:        modules seem to play correctly now. It's a bit slower, though.
                     57:        AF sound should work again, patches from Marcus Sundberg.
                     58: 960723 ... and more CPU emulation bugs fixed by Herman.
                     59:        Added uae.library from Tauno Taipaleenmaki, plus support files in the
                     60:        "amiga" directory.
                     61:        Added some files for the XFree86/OS2 port from Krister Bergman.
                     62:        Reorganized all the directories.
                     63: 960717 Add latest patch from Herman.
                     64:        More FAST_BLITTER options: 4 and 5. These finish the blit immediately.
                     65: 960713 Call XAutoRepeatXXX() only if we know we want to change the state.
                     66: 960709 Work around a few AIX bugs (ughhh... what a broken OS). New test for
                     67:        sys/select.h.
                     68:        In xui.c, don't try to communicate with a dead process.
                     69: 960704 More bugfixes from Herman.
                     70:        Get rid of dummy_xlate(), use default_xlate() to abort with error.
                     71:        In svga.c, set correct_aspect to 0 if using lores.
                     72:        Change the Bcc exception 3 handling code a bit.
                     73:        Add new program "cpuopti" that takes gcc-generated assembly files and
                     74:        optimizes away unnecessary pushl/popl instructions on the x86.
                     75: 960701 68020 exception handling & various bugfixes from Herman ten Brugge.
                     76:        In ersatz.c, use 0xFF0D instead of 0xF00D as trap opcode.
                     77:        Do MMU "emulation" (no-op MMU instructions, probably many cases decoded
                     78:        incorrectly).
                     79: 960627 New file LIESMICH, with minimal German instructions. Somebody want to
                     80:        translate the docs to French, Spanish, Italian, all the Scandinavian
                     81:        languages, Hebrew, Polish, Dutch, Russian, Welsh, Gaelic and something
                     82:        [email protected] understands? (No offense meant - I'm sure there are
                     83:        brillant minds using AOL. There must be.)
                     84: 960626 In zfile.c, make sure we delete the temporary file even if file
                     85:        decompression fails.
                     86:        Reimplemented sound support, this time following the HRM closely. Seems
                     87:        to work fine most of the time, but occasionally loses drum beats in
                     88:        TFMX modules. do_sound() is now unconditional, it calls
                     89:        flush_sound_buffer(), which is system-dependent. This breaks everything
                     90:        except Linux sound for now :(
                     91:        Add Herman ten Brugge's 68020/68881 emulation code.
                     92:        FreeBSD chokes if sys/mount.h is included without sys/types.h. Fix the
                     93:        configure script.
                     94: 960622 More work on AGA code.
                     95:        Removed 2-bit display routines from custom.c. Ian: please use dithering
                     96:        code.
                     97:        Make slowmem and chipmem sizes run-time configurable.
                     98:        Mask out the high bits in BLT?PTH().
                     99:        Add exception 3 checks to Bcc/BSR instructions. Seems to be not quite
                    100:        correct yet.
                    101:        Completely rewrote the disk emulation. We now create a big track buffer
                    102:        full of MFM data, used in a cyclic fashion by DSKBYTR() and friends. 
                    103:        The current position in the buffer is determined by the cycle counter.
                    104:        DMA reads are now done in one piece. Two new event types: ev_diskblk 
                    105:        and ev_diskindex.
                    106:        ARRGGHH! The RSI demo has _completely_ broken disk loading routines.
                    107:        They start disk DMA on a block while the blitter is still working on 
                    108:        the same memory region.
                    109:        In zfile.c, unlink() the temporary file directly after opening it so
                    110:        it will be freed by the OS as soon as we close it (or crash... :)
                    111: 960621 Merge pfield_sprite_h() and pfield_sprite_l() into one function.
                    112:        Split off new files blitter.c and blitter.h from custom.c.
                    113:        Fixed null-pointer dereference in zfile.c when filename has no
                    114:        extension.
                    115:        Add new field maxline to gfxvidinfo that prevents writing past the
                    116:        screen buffer if it has less lines than expected.
                    117:        Modify the 256 color allocation routine to set nb_cols to the same
                    118:        value first for r,g and b; allocate everything as usual and fill the
                    119:        lost colors afterwards with those that have the greatest difference.
                    120: 960620 For some extremely weird reason, it is faster to simply call the
                    121:        assembly-optimized pfield_linetoscr_full routines _twice_ to double the
                    122:        line than calling the new (also assembly-optimized)
                    123:        pfield_linetoscr_full_double routines, at least when writing directly 
                    124:        into the framebuffer. If someone has a good theory why, let me know 
                    125:        about it.
                    126:        Drawing into memory is faster with the _double routines, but not
                    127:        noticeably (about 1%).
                    128:        Consequence: Removed the new pfield_linetoscr_full_double assembly
                    129:        routines again.
                    130:        Add a "--disable-gui" option to configure.
                    131:        Add Samuel Devulder's dithering code. Provide support for mono and
                    132:        16 color X servers.
                    133:        Put an assembly version of DitherLine() in X86.S.
                    134:        New color mode (3) available, tells UAE to use 256 colors and dither
                    135:        the image. This is meant for people who have only a 256 color X server
                    136:        available, but it works with the SVGA version, too. It's much slower
                    137:        than normal 256 color mode, though.
                    138:        Use the color allocation algorithm from the dither code in
                    139:        alloc_colors256(), too.
                    140: 960619 New files: zfile.c and zfile.h, from Samuel Devulder. These provide
                    141:        transparent decompression of various compressed file formats. Enabled
                    142:        by configure only for Unix systems.
                    143:        Eliminate dont_want_aspect. New option "-C", sets correct_aspect. Make
                    144:        video mode 3 640x480, video mode 4 800x600. Honor correct_aspect in
                    145:        320x400, 640x480 and 800x600 mode with SVGAlib.
                    146:        Add fields maxlinetoscr and x_adjust to gfxvidinfo.
                    147:        Rename pfield_slow_linetoscr() to pfield_do_linetoscr(). Use new fields
                    148:        in gfxvidinfo to enable writing directly to the framebuffer in
                    149:        resolutions with <800 horizontal pixels.
                    150:        New function pfield_do_linetoscr_full(), called when sure that full
                    151:        line update is being done.
                    152:        Move some of the usage() information into some target_specific_usage() 
                    153:        functions, defined in the various system-specific files.
                    154:        Support lower resolutions with LOW_BANDWIDTH, too.
                    155:        memcpy() within screen memory is dog slow. Prevent some common cases:
                    156:        1. Use fill_line() to double a line in the border.
                    157:        2. Add a parameter to pfield_do_linetoscr_full() to indicate whether 
                    158:           the line has to be doubled. New functions
                    159:           pfield_linetoscr_*_double_slow() that simply do a memcpy(), plus 
                    160:          optimized ones in X86.S that are much faster by avoiding the copy.
                    161:        Smart update code could get confused by lores modes when
                    162:        prev_max_diwstop changed from one frame to the next. New variable
                    163:        frame_redraw_necessary, which acts as a counter. It's initialized to
                    164:        2 in interlace mode to handle that case properly, too.
                    165:        Move sprite priority checks into pfield_sprite_?(), move HAM
                    166:        calculations into new function decode_ham6() to simplify the various
                    167:        linetoscr functions.
                    168:        Fixed a bug that would cause sprites to get deformed in some cases
                    169:        when they overlapped (never seen it).
                    170: 960618 New file: dos-snd.c, from Gustavo.
                    171: 
                    172: 960617 Release 0.6.0
                    173: 960617 Fix memory clobber in X86.S when diwfirstword==0. Eliminate double test
                    174:        for HAVE_SYS_MOUNT_H in sysdeps.h.
                    175: 960616 Handle programs that don't wait for the blitter by finishing a pending
                    176:        blit as soon as a blitter register is written to (regardless of DMACON,
                    177:        to be safe).
                    178:        Call gui_led only if the LED changed.
                    179: 960615 Fixed dual playfield sprite priorities. Optimized dual playfield code
                    180:        in X86.S. More work on AGA code. Get joystick status only in
                    181:        vsync_handler to speed things up.
                    182:        Make blitter fill more intelligent with table lookups instead of loop.
                    183: 960614 DOS update from Gustavo. Pass real bitplane pointer to
                    184:        bpl_data_differs(), don't calculate it again.
                    185: 960610 Fixed silly INTEL_FLAG_OPT bug: The new __asm__ expressions use
                    186:        regflags, which is of course _regflags on a.out...
                    187:        More BeBox fixes from Christian.
                    188:        Make the CIA bank bigger (A0..BF) and relax the CIA A/B selection
                    189:        checks to make broken software (Kingsoft's Emerald Mine, reportedly)
                    190:        happy.
                    191:        Default framerate is now 1.
                    192: 960603 New BeBox code from Christian. Fix test for ELF in configure.in.
                    193: 960529 genblitter.c: generate blitfunc as a function taking ULONGs and
                    194:        returning an ULONG. This makes custom.o about 4500 bytes smaller on the
                    195:        x86 by removing worthless size prefixes, and should increase
                    196:        performance (better for the cache, and the P6 reportedly doesn't like 
                    197:        16 bit instructions anyway).
                    198:        memory.c: Load Kickstart in one block and swap bytes after that if
                    199:        necessary (eliminates the need for the special bebox load routine)
                    200:        custom.c: Some preliminary work for AGA support.
                    201: 960528 Saw a real awful piece of code that detects the right mouse button by
                    202:        reading a value from POT0DAT, counting up to 25, reading from POT0DAT
                    203:        again, and deciding the button is pressed if the value changed. Urgl!
                    204:        Added POT0DAT() in custom.c ...
                    205:        Gustavo's latest patches.
                    206: 960525 Do index pulse handling in CIA_hsync_handler(). Make sure bit 12 in 
                    207:        INTREQ gets set on an index pulse. Don't call DISK_Index() for now,
                    208:        since this breaks the Workbench.
                    209:        The CIA code should _probably_ not be resetting the bits in INTREQ.
                    210:        Disable this as an experiment, let's see what breaks.
                    211: 960524 Z flag handling for ABCD/SBCD/ADDX/SUBX was wrong (must be clear if not
                    212:        zero, was set if zero). Some other flag bugs in these functions fixed.
                    213: 960523 gfxlib.c update from Christian Schmitt. Some new Mac code from Ernesto,
                    214:        still not all of it, though. Italian keyboard from Alessandro Bissacco.
                    215: 960522 Fix the CHK instruction. Implement middle mouse button.
                    216: 960515 Fix some Nextstep problems in configure.in.
                    217: 960513 New Makefile target "streifenfrei" to remove all output from configure.
                    218:        Use autoconf 2.7; 2.9 is buggy.
                    219: 960512 Remove BIG_ALIGNMENT hack. Remove superfluous pfield_fetchdata() call
                    220:        in pfield_doline_slow_l() that resulted in garbage on the screen.
                    221:        Move blttbl array from custom.h to genblitter.c
                    222:        Use new lookup tables imm8_table and areg_byteinc in CPU emulation
                    223:        instead of ?: expressions.
                    224:        GCC appears to generate better code if the opcode is passed as ULONG to
                    225:        the CPU emulation functions instead of as UWORD.
                    226:        Modify some of the flag emulation __asm__ statements so that GCC uses
                    227:        less registers for them.
                    228: 960510 Cast malloc() results to char *, for C++ compilers.
                    229: 960509 Use test for GCC and __i386__ in options.h to decide whether to use
                    230:        intel flag optimization.
                    231:        Use test for wish4.0 to decide whether to use the GUI.
                    232: 960507 New bebox.cpp from Christian. AF sound patches from Marcus Sundberg.
                    233: 960505 Fix the configuration stuff so it works. Fix some bugs in gfxlib.c
                    234: 960504 Use GNU autoconf scripts to generate Makefile and sysconfig.h. Add new
                    235:        files sysdeps.h that includes the right system header files. Remove
                    236:        amiga.h and Makefile.
                    237: 960502 More Next code from Ian (new Uae.app directory, 2 bit drawing for
                    238:        custom.c).
                    239: 960501 Allow the sound driver to set the frequency to a value that is slightly
                    240:        different from the requested one.
                    241: 960430 Added AmigaOS port from Olaf Barthel.
                    242: 960427 Fixed single playfield sprite priorities in X86.S.
                    243: 960426 Added new NeXTwin.m from Ian.
                    244:        Turn off the blitter delay in line mode.
                    245:        Added a CPU optimization from Olivier Raoul: gencpu now reads a file
                    246:        "insncount" that can be generated by UAE during execution and generates
                    247:        specific functions for the most common opcodes. Not documented yet.
                    248: 960414 Reimplemented the fast disk emulation in a more sane way. Also it's
                    249:        only done for reads now. (Plus, it no longer works :-/ Need to work
                    250:        some more on this).
                    251:        In blitter emulation, defer not only the setting of the bltfinish bit,
                    252:        but actually defer the whole blit for the number of cycles it will
                    253:        take. This makes programs the clear the screen while it is still being
                    254:        displayed look much better.
                    255:        Changed supervisor mode handling around a bit (was messy).
                    256:        New DOS code from Gustavo.
                    257: 960412 Removed smart update method 2. Added Alessandro Bissacco's blitter
                    258:        optimization patch.
                    259:        Fixed some sprite problems: during hysnc, clear sprpos and sprctl, and
                    260:        don't do_sprites() in line 0.
                    261: 960409 Be a little more intelligent about when to call pfield_linetoscr() from
                    262:        pfield_doline_slow(). It's only necessary if a color register changed.
                    263:        If it can be deferred to the end of the line, use the the _full
                    264:        variants.
                    265:        Some CIA TOD fixes.
                    266:        Better transdisk, accepts first/last track parameters.
                    267: 960405 New function memcmpy(), inline assembler for the i386. Compares two
                    268:        memory blocks and copies them at the same time. Used in
                    269:        bpl_data_differs.
                    270: 960404 French keyboard from Tristan Cavelier. Parallel port emulation from
                    271:        Stefan Reinauer.
                    272:        Turn bpl?pt and r_bpl?pt into arrays, simplify some code using them.
                    273: 960401 Some parts of Ernesto's new Mac sources.
                    274: 960331 filesys.c: Close filedescriptors in free_key(). get_path() sometimes
                    275:        read uninitialized bytes.
                    276:        Minor cleanups all over the place.
                    277:        unchain_mnn() leaves sibling intact, but clobbers next. customreset()
                    278:        didn't care about that and crashed.
                    279:        Use the __asm__("intel_flag_lookup") magic not only for DOS.
                    280:        Support 320x300 for X (without LOW_BANDWIDTH).
                    281:        Add new function fast_memcmp(), defined as memcmp if __i386__ is
                    282:        undefined, otherwise a slightly optimized inline assembly function.
                    283: 960329 Some bug fixes in gencpu.c
                    284: 960328 Stupid programs write odd playfield modulos into the hw registers...
                    285:        Eek! Sometimes, linedescr[] was indexed with a negative value... Add a
                    286:        vpos >= minfirstline check to pfield_may_need_update(). I really need
                    287:        to rewrite this in Oberon...
                    288:        Don't turn off SHM when LOW_BANDWIDTH is selected.
                    289:        Keep the nextpos and linepos variables from pfield_doline_slow_?() as
                    290:        globals and initialize them in pfield_may_need_udpate().
                    291:        Modified alloc_colors256() some more.
                    292:        Try to make sprite DMA follow the Amiga DMA slots more closely by
                    293:        adding a currhp parameter to do_sprites() and calling it at the end
                    294:        of a scanline or in pfield_may_need_update().
                    295: 960327 Added Gustavo's latest DOS code, as far as possible. Modified X86.S to
                    296:        use a macro SYM() to create symbol names either with underscore or
                    297:        without.
                    298:        Fixed some very silly SVGAlib lores bugs. Move screen 8 pixels up in
                    299:        low resolution.
                    300:        Use diwstop instead of diwstart to caclulate the DIW for 320x200 modes.
                    301:        Reset it not only in calcdiw(), but also in init_frame().
                    302:        Speed up 256 color allocation a little bit.
                    303: 960326 New function flush_block() in xwin.c and svga.c. Called from
                    304:        do_flush_line() and (new function) do_flush_screen(). Modify struct
                    305:        vidbuf_description, new member maxblocklines that records the maximum
                    306:        number of scanlines that do_flush_line() should collect before calling
                    307:        flush_block(). If it is zero, then flush_line() is used as before.
                    308:        This makes the special case stuff for SHM unnecessary, so it's removed.
                    309:        Fixed a stupid bug in events code: Put ev_hsync in front of ev_copper,
                    310:        so that do_copper gets called with hpos == 0 instead of hpos == 227 at
                    311:        the beginning of the line.
                    312:        New function init_frame() that sets up some variables, called from 
                    313:        customreset() and vsync_handler().
                    314:        Move smart update code to pfield_doline() from pfield_doline_h() and 
                    315:        ..._l(). Clean up these two with a macro DO_ONE_PLANE, removing
                    316:        duplicate code.
                    317:        Implement big blits and ECS chip ids. New configuration options
                    318:        ECS_AGNUS and ECS_DENISE.
                    319:        Implement MOVEP.
                    320: 960325 Before calling pfield_may_need_update(), make sure the value that was
                    321:        written to a register actually differs from the previous one.
                    322:        New expansion code from Stefan Reinauer.
                    323:        Modify struct mem_notify_node to contain a pointer to a valid bit 
                    324:        instead of the valid bit itself, so that the playfield code has to
                    325:        check only one flag to decide whether to draw the line (SU method 2)
                    326: 960324 The chip_flags approach has several problems. A flag may cover an area
                    327:        in memory that spans two scanlines, or several scanlines may use the
                    328:        same area in memory.
                    329:        Provide two other, different methods for the smart update:
                    330:        1. Save all the bitplane data for each line and compare the chipmem
                    331:           with the saved data to decide whether an update is necessary.
                    332:        2. Use a chain of memory_notify_node structs instead of a single bit
                    333:           for flags. Each scanline owns a set of these structs and chains them
                    334:          into the right place, and the chipmem_?put routines walk the chains
                    335:          and set the modified bit for each element.
                    336:        Unfortunately, both methods are slower than the old one. Especially the
                    337:        first one has some advantages though: it speeds up programs that clear
                    338:        the screen each update and write the same contents back, and it
                    339:        can speed up double-buffering programs at full framerate, since it does
                    340:        not have to check whether the bitplane pointers have changed.
                    341:        Remember the first and last drawn line for each frame, and pass them to
                    342:        flush_screen. Use this in xwin.c for SHM. Modify SHM logic: if smart
                    343:        update is selected, call XShmPutImage() from flush_line() instead of 
                    344:        from flush_screen(). But gather blocks of consecutive lines to avoid
                    345:        calling XShmPutImage() too often.
                    346: 960323 "Smart update" method, based very loosely on Alessandro Bissacco's
                    347:        work, implemented:
                    348:        Add an array chip_flags that records any change made to specific words
                    349:        in chip memory.
                    350:        Move all the hardware registers relevant to playfield display into a
                    351:        new structure bplinfo. Remember the contents of this structure in
                    352:        struct line_description for every line on the screen. Avoid redrawing
                    353:        in pfield_doline if the screen memory has not been modified for the
                    354:        line to be drawn and if the information from the last frame matches
                    355:        that in the current frame.
                    356: 960322 Duplicate all functions responsible for drawing (pfield_doline,
                    357:        pfield_doline_slow, pfield_sprite, pfield_*word_*res) and append _h
                    358:        or _l (ah, the golden C++ days, when we had templates... which never
                    359:        worked). Modify the *_l functions to support drawing in low resolution
                    360:        (i.e. 320x200). Change the options -d and -H to support selecting color
                    361:        mode and resolution, thereby getting rid of some SVGALIB_* options.
                    362:        Get rid of the old pfield_*word_*res functions.
                    363:        Collect information about the minimum diwstart value during the
                    364:        previous frame and use that in case 320x200 was selected to fit the
                    365:        image on the screen.
                    366:        Get rid of HAVE_JOYSTICK (breaks the "-J" option)
                    367: 960321 Give up in op_illg() if opcode is 0x4e7b and the exception handler for
                    368:        it is NULL. In that case, it's a 68020 Kickstart.
                    369: 960319 New Next code from Ian. SunOS target was still screwed (two CFLAGS).
                    370:        Turn -x option into a "hair cursor" option. Support multiple mounts,
                    371:        but warn if more than one is seen (still does not work with Kick 1.3).
                    372:        Integrated Samuel Devulder's new LOW_BANDWIDTH patch.
                    373: 960318 Integrated the start of Markus Gietzen's gfx library replacement.
                    374:        Changed the interface between custom.c and the graphics code. There has
                    375:        to be a buffer holding the data of all the lines on the screen. For
                    376:        linear SVGAlib modes, this is the video memory. Eliminated -x option,
                    377:        prepare_line(), DrawPixel() and the X_?BIT_SCREEN options, replace with
                    378:        3 versions of pfield_linetoscr for different datatypes. Implement
                    379:        proper handling of the borders above and below the DIW in custom.c
                    380:        instead of in flush_screen().
                    381:        Move common code (color allocation) from all the graphics files to new 
                    382:        file gfxutil.c.
                    383:        Swedish keyboard from Per Olofsson.
                    384: 
                    385: 960315 Release 0.5.0
                    386: 960315 Newest DOS port from Gustavo. New sgi-gcc target.
                    387: 960314 Add -lXext to osf target. Use "rb" for fopen() in main.c
                    388: 960310 Play a bit with the __asm__ constraints. Implement CHK.
                    389: 960307 Fix some stupid Makefile errors. Call parse_cmdline() if no init file
                    390:        is found.
                    391:        First round of NextStep patches; new file NeXTwin.m
                    392:        Stupid bug in custom.c: The #define is called NO_FAST_DISK, not
                    393:        NO_FAST_FLOPPY.
                    394:        Fix one of the problems the Deform demo had with the blitter: The
                    395:        line texture wasn't rotated to the right position in blitter_init().
                    396: 960306 Use some black GCC __asm__ magic to calculate flags more quickly
                    397:        (config INTEL_FLAG_OPT)
                    398:        HAM was broken by pfield_linetoscr changes. Fixed.
                    399:        LOW_BANDWIDTH sometimes got confused when the display window changed.
                    400: 960305 BCD instructions work well enough for Locomotive Basic on CPE.
                    401:        New function parse_cmdline_and_init_file() that reads ~/.uaerc or
                    402:        ./.uaerc and adds the options found in those files to those in argv[].
                    403:        Patch from Denis Sablic to make disk image filenames runtime 
                    404:        configurable. Extend it for the ROM filename.
                    405:        Remove some of the run-time configurable stuff from config.h.
                    406:        More X keysym fixes (I finally got a proper .Xmodmap ...)
                    407:        for SVGAlib: Delete key, and PgUp/PgDn as Amiga keys.
                    408:        The sound driver can now handle 22050 Hz and/or 8 bit samples. Both of
                    409:        these are the default with LINUX_SOUND_SLOW_MACHINE.
                    410:        Also use the SNDCTL_DSP_GETBLKSIZE ioctl and write the buffer when 
                    411:        there is enough data.
                    412:        Abuse keybuf.c to provide a fake joystick emulation with the numeric
                    413:        pad (enable with -J)
                    414: 960304 bebox.cpp from Christian.
                    415:        Rename pfield_linetoscr_full to pfield_linetoscr_full8.
                    416:        More x86 assembly: pfield_linetoscr_full16.
                    417: 960303 SunOS target from Dirk Vangestel. Put some not-so-superfluous includes
                    418:        back in. Added the DOS specific patches to filesys.c.
                    419:        Started x86 assembly optimizations. New file X86.S, includes an
                    420:        optimized version of pfield_linetoscr (for 8 bit screens only).
                    421:        Don't use SA_RESTART if it isn't defined.
                    422:        prepare_line() wasn't called often enough (again...), leading to memory
                    423:        corruption and "hit the reset button" bugs when using SVGAlib.
                    424: 960226 Get rid of bool, true and false in amiga.h and everywhere else.
                    425:        Copy yesterdays code to AF_SOUND code, too.
                    426:        Include first round of Christian Bauer's BeBox patches. Add AIX fix
                    427:        from Samuel Mackrill.
                    428:        Add #include <string.h> and #include <stdlib.h> in some more places.
                    429:        Modify gencpu.c and readcpu.c so that immediate types j and J (0..15
                    430:        and 1..8) can be merged. Replace HAVE_ONE_GIG... option with a new
                    431:        CPU_EMU_SIZE option that can be set to a value in the range 0..5,
                    432:        where 0 is minimum size and 5 is equivalent to HAVE_ONE_GIG...
                    433: 960225 Remove multiplications in sound code, use a big lookup table.
                    434: 960222 Go back to having only one memory bank table of type addrbank instead
                    435:        of several function pointer arrays. Eliminate the HAVE_BROKEN_SOFTWARE 
                    436:        define by extending the memory bank table to 65536 entries.
                    437:        Remove remaining DUALCPU code. Allow BTST src,imm instructions in
                    438:        table68k.
                    439: 960220 Back out filesys.c change from Stefan Reinauer: don't call V36 specific
                    440:        functions in expansion.library.
                    441:        Better fix for the filesys.c assign problems by Oliver Moehrke.
                    442:        Make new playfield code conditional on EXPERIMENTAL_SCREEN_UPDATE.
                    443:        Improve the 64bit variant of said code. Try to get alignment for
                    444:        apixels by putting it into a union with a long.
                    445:        Kill the child in gui_exit(). Make graphics_init() return a value and
                    446:        check it in main.c to see whether graphics were initialized. If not,
                    447:        call gui_exit() anyway.
                    448:        Use new 256 color allocation routine from svga.c in xwin.c, too.
                    449:        Make LOW_BANDWIDTH compile _and_ work (wow...).
                    450: 960219 Fix bug in memory.c: When loading 256K Kickstart, copy 256K, not 128K.
                    451: 960218 Finished the rest of the UI: reset, debug and quit buttons as well as
                    452:        drive LEDs. New target linux-gui; all others use dummy file nogui.c
                    453:        for now.
                    454: 960217 The GUI now supports inserting and ejecting diskfiles and displays
                    455:        their names. Two pipes are used now, one for reading and one for
                    456:        writing. Properly wait for the process to start up.
                    457:        Use sigaction() instead of signal() in debug.c.
                    458:        More fixes for the new display routines: Need to do a final call to
                    459:        pfield_*word_*res with the data shifted right from the last fetched
                    460:        word.
                    461: 960216 Copper & sprite bugfixes from Marco Nelissen. Better X keyboard support
                    462:        from Bruno Coste.
                    463:        Move my_strdup() from filesys.c to options.h
                    464:        New files xui.c, uae-ui (shell script) and uae-ui.tk (wish script).
                    465:        These create a GUI for the X version of the emulator. So far, the
                    466:        power LED works.
                    467: 960215 Don't rely on SVGAlib headers defining any keycodes at all.
                    468:        Include Thorsten Frueauf's NetBSD patch. Apparently, the devname
                    469:        variable in hardfile.c caused a namespace collision, so rename it to
                    470:        uaedevname. Fastmem fixes, debugger help, and ConfigDev allocation in
                    471:        hardfile and filesys from Stefan Reinauer.
                    472:        xwin.c: Give the window a title.
                    473:        Half-implemented the DIVU.L, DIVS.L, MULU.L and MULS.L instructions.
                    474: 960213 AF sound system support from Marcus Sundberg. Win95 keyboard support
                    475:        for SVGAlib from Thierry Lescot. Added most of Gustavo Goedert's MS-DOS
                    476:        port.
                    477:        When using the old pfield_*word_*res functions, the gen_pfield_tables()
                    478:        function was undefined.
                    479:        Hmmm, /dev/brain must have been unmounted when I wrote the new pfield_*
                    480:        functions. Now they make sure they access the apixels array only with
                    481:        addresses that are multiples of 16 bytes.
                    482: 960212 Fix copy&paste bug in cia.c found by Marco Nelissen: Need to call
                    483:        RethinkICRB() instead of RethinkICRA() for CIA B timers.
                    484:        Added Stefan Reinauers autoconfig area/fastmem support. Added run-time
                    485:        options for use_slow_mem and use_fast_mem.
                    486:        Oops, the pfield_*word_*res() optimizations break completely on HPs and
                    487:        Sparcs. Now use this optimization only if we are using GCC 2.7.
                    488:        HPUX fixes in the Makefile. New target hpux-gcc.
                    489:        The code for clearing the areas above and below the DIW was trying to
                    490:        be a little too clever selecting the color. Just use the current 
                    491:        background color.
                    492:        Added channel attachment to the sound code. Untested.
                    493: 960211 Found some flag setting bugs in the rotate/shift instructions and in
                    494:        addx/subx (which I thought I had already fixed) by reimplementing 
                    495:        DUALCPU mode to work with Ed's e68k.
                    496:        Argh! The copper is completely disabled during DDF in Hires 4 bitplane
                    497:        mode - so copper positions 0x30 and 0x34 are about 640 pixels apart.
                    498:        The Kickstart uses FF39FFFE to wait for the end of line 256 instead of
                    499:        FFDFFFFE as in all the other modes. This is implemented now, but
                    500:        probably not 100% correct.
                    501:        Added check whether SVGAlib doesn't support our mode.
                    502:        If using GCC >= 2.7, define __attribute__((aligned(16))) as
                    503:        BIG_ALIGNMENT in config.h. Use it for the apixels array to prevent
                    504:        potential problems on the Alpha.
                    505:        Tried to make the color selection routine produce better results in 256
                    506:        color mode.
                    507: 960210 readdisk didn't work at all for large files - fixed.
                    508:        In pfield_doline(), clear the apixels array if playfield DMA is off.
                    509:        In SPRxCTL(), reset sprite mode when sprpos==sprctl==0
                    510:        Rewrite pfield_orword_hires() and friends to use lookup tables. No
                    511:        noticeable improvement on my machine, but might be different on other
                    512:        machines. Two versions of this code: one using 64bit longs on the Alpha.
                    513:        New targets linux-debug and linux-prof.
                    514:        Use 1MB slow mem.
                    515:        -funroll-loops is a little excessive. Remove it.
                    516:        Add support for linear addressing modes for SVGAlib version. Speedup
                    517:        is 20-30% on my old 486 VLB. Now, would someone please fix SVGAlib to
                    518:        support that for the S3-864 as well?
                    519:        Set SVGAlib keyboard mode to DONT_CATCH_CTRLC.
                    520:        Change custom.c, xwin.c and svga.c to keep track of the display window 
                    521:        and background color and to clear the areas above and below the display
                    522:        window if necessary to remove garbage images from previous frames.
                    523:        Set the LOF bit in the Kickstart replacement init routine. Also
                    524:        initialize CIAs to Kick 1.3-like values.
                    525: 960209 Some more -DHAVE_xxx_H options in the Makefile and filesys.c. DEC Alpha
                    526:        fixes for filesys.c from Ed and Marcus. HPUX fixes.
                    527:        New field in table68k for CPU type, parsed by readcpu and compared to
                    528:        CPU_LEVEL which is defined in config.h. New instructions MOVE2C, MOVEC2
                    529:        and CAS. Also a new field for priviledge level that is used by gencpu to
                    530:        generate tests for regs.s and Exception(8) calls if necessary.
                    531:        Move parsing of table68k into a new file build68k.c. Generate a file
                    532:        called cpudefs.c containing the information from table68k in 
                    533:        machine-readable form. Change readcpu.c to use the array found in 
                    534:        cpudefs.c.
                    535:        Don't generate the d8(An,Dn) addressing mode in-line. Generate a call to
                    536:        get_disp_ea(), which is an inline function in newcpu.h if UAE is
                    537:        configured for 68000 emulation; for 68020 emulation, it is defined in
                    538:        newcpu.c.
                    539:        Debugger could crash on illegals because there was no mnemonic defined
                    540:        in lookuptab[].
                    541:        Return zero for SERDATR.
                    542: 960207 It seems that the copper stops completely if an attempt to write to a
                    543:        specific register fails because of COPDANG. Apparently, the Kickstarts
                    544:        use this to stop the copper with a 0x00000000 longword. This leaves the
                    545:        question why they don't do 0xFFFFFFFE like everybody else.
                    546:        Enable 512K slow memory by default.
                    547:        Integrate Stefan Reinauers battclock patch that makes it work with
                    548:        newer Kickstarts.
                    549:        In cia.c, do the little index pulse hack even if dskdmaen==1, because
                    550:        DMA is only enabled when dskdmaen==2 (Helps the "Mad Decision" demo).
                    551:        Add solaris entry to Makefile (GCC, Openwin, -DHAVE_STATFS_H)
                    552:        Define HAVE_STRINGS_H for SGIs, change filesys.c accordingly.
                    553: 960206 Build a smaller table instead of cputbl.c. Use readcpu and the smaller
                    554:        table to build the cpufunctbl array at run-time.
                    555:        Nuked the other half of the old CPU emulator. Reimplemented debugger to
                    556:        use the information generated by readcpu.
                    557:        Define HAVE_STATFS_H for SGIs in the Makefile, and use that as a test
                    558:        in filesys.c instead of #ifndef __linux.
                    559:        Hack filesys.c, get_path() to support the assign command.
                    560:        Add -fstrength-reduce and -funroll-loops in Makefile to make people
                    561:        nervous.
                    562:        Rewrite Sam Devulder's LOW_BANDWIDTH patch and add it to xwin.c.
                    563: 960205 Forgot some PC-relative bit instructions in table68k.
                    564:        Nuked half of the old CPU emulator.
                    565:        Split gencpu.c into two parts, new one is called readcpu.c and just
                    566:        parses the table68k file. Link it to the main program.
                    567: 
                    568: 960205 Release 0.4
                    569: 960203 filesys.c, action_read(): Slightly more efficient code (translate Amiga
                    570:        address to real pointer).
                    571:        Moved some common code in the generate_* functions in gencpu.c to a
                    572:        separate function.
                    573: 960202 Added an experimental fast disk option. Currently turned off by
                    574:        default (it's not such a big win).
                    575:        Attached sprite fixes (overlapping att. sprites looked bad, Katakis).
                    576:        Add sleep(1) before resetting the console to text mode when using
                    577:        SVGAlib: this might fix some screen corruption problems.
                    578:        Add sprite/playfield priority checking to the most important case
                    579:        (single playfield, no HAM).
                    580:        In filesys.c, do_find(): open() returns -1 on error, not zero.
                    581:        Return ERROR_OBJECT_WRONG_TYPE if do_find() is called for a directory
                    582:        (fixes Champions of Krynn harddisk installation).
                    583: 960201 Don't abort if sound driver not present, just set produce_sound to 0.
                    584:        New files keybuf.c and keybuf.h to record keypresses in the right
                    585:        order and without losing any. In cia.c, force 15 scanlines between
                    586:        keypresses, just to be sure.
                    587:        unixfs.device _does_ work with Kick 1.3: just don't trust what Kick 1.3 
                    588:        sends in the startup packet. For now, disable more than one mount per 
                    589:        command line.
                    590:        Started integrating Ernesto's new Mac sources.
                    591:        Remove superfluous includes from some files.
                    592: 960131 Added Ed's unixfs.device (great stuff).
                    593:        Adding ULONGs to pointers is a bad idea on the Alpha if the ULONG value
                    594:        really is signed. Add some casts to LONG in (pc_p + src) expressions
                    595:        in genpu.c.
                    596:        If DMACON is written and copper DMA is enabled, do a COPJMP1 at once.
                    597:        Helps the "Interference" demo.
                    598: 960129 More SGI fixes from Ed. Bugfixes and transdisk improvements from Marcus 
                    599:        Sundberg.
                    600:        Remove EXTRA_DEFINES from Makefile. Breaks some systems.
                    601:        Move common sprite code from pfield_doline() and pfield_doline_slow()
                    602:        to new function pfield_sprite(). The same sprite may appear more than
                    603:        once on the same line, so don't shift out the bits of sprdata[] and
                    604:        sprdatb[] while displaying it (Turrican I).
                    605:        In xwin.c and svga.c, barf if LINUX_SVGALIB doesn't match the file 
                    606:        being compiled.
                    607:        Make all .o files depend on config.h in the Makefile.
                    608:        No need to exit if sound driver unavailable, but -S given.
                    609:        Small debugger fix: Missing space in output.
                    610:        Fix for the sprite logic: Specifically, use a state variable indicating
                    611:        whether the sprite has been restarted after a VSYNC. Fixes most
                    612:        Turrican problems.
                    613: 960124 Added Denis Sablic's patch for sound run-time option.
                    614:        Added Ed Hanway's patch for better Makefile, X mouse cursor blanking 
                    615:        and more SGI compilation fixes.
                    616: 960123 Include options.h everywhere.
                    617:        Handle 8 bit GrayScale visuals like PseudoColor.
                    618:        Remove C++ leftovers from joystick code.
                    619: 960122 When using the joystick driver, the button test must come after
                    620:        handle_events() in vsync_handler().
                    621: 960118 Removed all the remaining C++ comments. Changed all inline keywords to
                    622:        __inline__. Define __inline__ if not using gcc.
                    623:        Make proper prototypes for everything. Compile with maximum warnings +
                    624:        -ansi + -pedantic.
                    625:        Remove CIA_cycle(), obsolete.
                    626:        Reimplemented the STOP optimization in newcpu.c. Removed DualCPU
                    627:        support in CPU emulator.
                    628:        Real nasty bug in pfield_doline() fixed: sprxpos could be evaluated as
                    629:        negative, with not-so-amusing results. (Need to rewrite this in 
                    630:        Oberon to get array bounds checking :-)       
                    631: 960117 Heroic effort: Rewrote the thing in C. This might help fix some
                    632:        problems with users being unable to compile it.
                    633:        Fixed a problem in hsync_handler(): Only call flush_line() for lines
                    634:        in the display window, i.e. when we did a prepare_line() before.
                    635:        Better code for relative branches: Don't use setpc(getpc()+x) calls,
                    636:        increment regs.pc_p instead.
                    637: 960116 Reimplemented the function to load the Kickstart ROM. Use stdio instead
                    638:        of fstreams since this apparently does not work on the Mac. Detect 256K
                    639:        Kickstarts. Detect corrupt ROM images (calculate checksum).
                    640:        Added Ernesto Corvi's Mac port. Changed it around a bit, so it
                    641:        probably won't compile.
                    642: 960115 Reinstate config.h options for X screen depth, so that DrawPixel() can
                    643:        be inlined in custom.cc for speed. xlinebuffer is now incremented in
                    644:        each call to DrawPixel() (for both X and SVGAlib) to get rid of some
                    645:        address calculations.
                    646: 960114 Fixed X generic pixel drawing routine for SHM.
                    647:        Still trying to fix the harddisk emulation.
                    648:        uae.device no longer breaks the debugger (can step through uae.device
                    649:        functions now)
                    650:        Bugs affecting performance: SPCFLAG_STOP never got reset, and DSKLEN() 
                    651:        would set SPCFLAG_DISK even if DMA was being turned off.
                    652:        Made slow memory a run-time option.
                    653:        Defer interrupts by one CPU instruction to give programs a chance to
                    654:        read INTREQR ("Seeing is Believing" and "Substance" demos)
                    655:        Added ScrollLock hack for X, too.
                    656: 960113 SVGAlib version compiles again. Fixed SVGAlib mouse bug.
                    657:        Fixed SHM bug: Maximum scanline is 313, not 312.
                    658:        Sometimes, disk.cc missed a side change and would read the wrong data.
                    659:        Fixed. Apparently, this was the worst compatibility problem.
                    660:        Implemented trace mode.
                    661: 960112 Changed layout of class amigamemory a little so that gcc can generate
                    662:        better addressing modes.
                    663:        Finally wrote functions in gencpu to generate MOVEMs.
                    664: 960109 Integrated Ed Hanway's patches for better X support and run-time
                    665:        configuration of some options. 
                    666:        Got rid of the direct VGA memory access. (Need to do this differently).
                    667:        Changed the method of drawing lines: custom.cc now tells the graphics
                    668:        code the line number and whether it needs to be doubleed before drawing
                    669:        it.
                    670:        Added Andre Beck's MIT-SHM patch.
                    671:        Remove warnings for newcpu.cc.
                    672: 960108 Fixed exceptions in op_illg(): Need to decrement PC.
                    673: 960107 Added an "uae.device" resident module at 0xF00000. This emulates a hard
                    674:        disk (fixed size 8MB for now).
                    675: 960106 Moved some common code from pfield_doline() and pfield_doline_slow() to
                    676:        a separate function. This fixes a potential HAM bug (two static vars
                    677:        for the same value).
                    678:        Sound support for Linux. Works only with graphics off and the CPU
                    679:        slowed down.
                    680:        Better SVGAlib keyboard support.
                    681: 960105 Added AvailMem(), AllocMem(), AllocAbs() and FreeMem() dummies.
                    682:        The Hardwired demo times the multiplication instructions and prints
                    683:        "This demo don't like Axel" if they are too fast. Apparently, Axel has
                    684:        a 68040. Added a WANT_SLOW_MULTIPLY option to config.h.
                    685:        Fixed the fast blitter emulation (seems to work now).
                    686: 960104 Fixed all the ChangeLog entries from 95 that said 96 (oops??!)
                    687:        pfield_may_need_update() should check whether bitplane DMA is on.
                    688:        Added ersatz.cc and ersatz.h. The purpose of these files is to
                    689:        implement one or two Kickstart functions that are commonly called from
                    690:        bootblocks. This should help support some games and demos that only use
                    691:        the Kickstart as an initial track loader. So far, it's only good enough
                    692:        for one program.
                    693: 951223 More intelligent event handling in the CPU emulator. Slightly faster.
                    694: 951222 Optimize CPU emulation by inlining cctrue(). Also, the real PC no
                    695:        longer needs to be incremented each instruction. The real PC value
                    696:        now has to be fetched by m68k_getpc().
                    697:        Added direct screen access for SVGAlib, but it didn't help much. I'll
                    698:        probably remove it again.
                    699:        The gencpu executable is 2M smaller if it allocates memory
                    700:        dynamically.
                    701: 951216 custom_bput() enhanced a little. Now remembers the value that was 
                    702:        written in the other half of the register.
                    703:        Apparently, the USEx bits of BLTCON0 are ignored in line draw mode.
                    704:        (Silents-Demo)
                    705: 
                    706: 951212 Release 0.3
                    707: 951212 Included Alessandro's battclock patch.
                    708:        Fixed mouse autocalibration for wrong-aspect screens.
                    709: 951210 Joystick support for Linux.
                    710:        Better color matching for 256 color modes.
                    711:        Rewrote most of the memory management in plain C, mainly to avoid the
                    712:        various template bugs in some compilers, but also because gcc can't
                    713:        handle the regparm attribute for virtual functions yet.
                    714: 951209 Added Alessandro's patches for automatic mouse calibration.
                    715:        Tried to optimize the blitter loop a bit. Doesn't work.
                    716: 951205 Added Hannu's patches for diskfile write support.
                    717: 951201 More portability fixes, especially for weird compilers that workstation
                    718:        vendors ship.
                    719: 951125 More keys for X, some keyboard support for SVGAlib (slightly 
                    720:        dangerous); beginnings of US keyboard support.
                    721: 951124 256 color mode support for SVGAlib. FAST!
                    722: 951123 Tiny tweak to central loops in playfield code results in much better
                    723:        assembly. Apparently, GCC does not feel too good about optimizing 
                    724:        reference variables.
                    725: 951113 Bug fix in the events code (nextevent must not be changed while events
                    726:        are being processed).
                    727: 951112 The playfield can now be drawn with the right aspect (i.e., every line
                    728:        twice). Slower, but looks nicer and supports interlaced mode
                    729:        (flickerfree!). The first 29 lines (blanking interval) are omitted
                    730:        now to fit everything in 800x600.
                    731:        Oops, disk drive identification did not work. Fixed, all four drives
                    732:        appear now.
                    733:        Oops, CIA_reset() was there all the time but never got called.
                    734:        Optimized the planar->chunky conversion in pfield_doline() a little.
                    735:        This really is time critical.
                    736: 951111 If colors change on a line, we might still be able to use the full 
                    737:        line update, if the change occurred outside the DIW. Have to be a 
                    738:        little careful, though.
                    739:        Playfield code now uses real pointers again, but makes sure it can
                    740:        read enough bytes to complete the current line without segfaulting.
                    741:        Oops, my "better estimate" (see below) was a mistake. Restored the
                    742:        original 4 hw cycles per instruction relation. This slows down the
                    743:        emulator while booting (more screen refreshs), but speeds up many
                    744:        demos that otherwise spend most of their time waiting for a specific
                    745:        raster position.
                    746:        Playfield modulos must be added immediately when DDF stops. (WOC demo)
                    747:        Portability fixes in disk.cc (null pointers).
                    748:        Implemented average frame rate calculation ('c' in the debugger).
                    749:        Debugger fixes.
                    750:        Sprite fixes (height was wrong, wrong priorities in fast update)
                    751:        Added an AutoConfig expansion RAM device. The OS seems to recognize
                    752:        it, but breaks sometime later (seems to be the same bug that kills
                    753:        the emulator when there's RAM at 0xC00000).
                    754:        SVGAlib now has mouse support, too.
                    755:        HAM mode implemented.
                    756: 951110 Implemented fast complete line playfield update. Switches back if
                    757:        necessary. Fixed attached sprites bug.
                    758:        Copper wait no longer slows down the CPU emulation. (there were
                    759:        lots of new copper bugs because of this, but I hope I fixed all
                    760:        of them).
                    761:        Changed cia?t? from UWORD to ULONG, since there were overflows in
                    762:        the assertion (because of 65535+1 == 0).
                    763: 951108 The DIVS remainder could have the wrong sign.
                    764:        New HAVE_BROKEN_SOFTWARE define in config.h that makes the emulator
                    765:        mask out the high byte of all addresses.
                    766:        Wrote genblitter.cc and replaced the awful code in blitter_blit()
                    767:        and blitter_line() with calls to the generated function.
                    768: 951107 Implemented ?BCD. These don't really work yet.
                    769: 
                    770: 951106 Release 0.2
                    771: 951105 Fixed a bug in the new CIA timer code.
                    772:        Fixed flag settings for some cases of ADDX/SUBX
                    773: 951104 Changed the main loop a bit - call all the *cycle() functions only if
                    774:        it is really necessary. I hope everything still works - at least it is
                    775:        twice as fast now :-D
                    776:        Improved mouse emulation - avoid overflows, permit "wraparound".
                    777:        Added debugger 'g' command.
                    778:        Removed some useless casts from the CPU emulator.
                    779:        Added a configuration option to prevent checks for odd addresses. Only
                    780:        very bad programs need this check.
                    781: 951103 The sprite emulation sometimes did not work too well, especially with
                    782:        dual playfield mode. Hopefully fixed.
                    783: 951102 The 10 cycle counter is more like a 5 cycle counter in this
                    784:        implementation. (Fine, that makes floppy loading even faster :-)
                    785:        Implemented mouse movement. Totally out of sync with the X pointer,
                    786:        but at least something.
                    787:        Found out about the XAutoRepeatOff() function. Real useful.
                    788:        DualCPU mode works again.
                    789:        Corrected flag settings for CMPA.W.
                    790:        Fixed DIV instructions: Don't change dest in case of overflow.
                    791: 951031 The PC is now converted to a real pointer. This is safe (much safer
                    792:        than converting bitplane pointers, since the PC always has to be valid)
                    793:        and should speed things up a little.
                    794: 951029 Some primitive event handling: 2 mouse buttons and 1 joystick button
                    795:        are emulated, as well as parts of the keyboard (only german mapping).
                    796:        Fixes: Delay values and sprite widths are always LoRes. Playfield 2
                    797:        uses colors 9..15.
                    798:        Implemented a frame rate configuration option that can speed up the
                    799:        emulation quite a bit.
                    800: 951028 A-ha. The 68000 has one strange feature after all. MOVEM.W to Dn sign 
                    801:        extends the value to a longword.
                    802:        Katakis expects that accessing odd addresses causes exception 3, so 
                    803:        we have to emulate this. *Sigh*
                    804:        Do at least something with the index pulse bit. It's more or less a 
                    805:        toggle now.
                    806:        Implemented sprites & dual playfields, both with small glitches.
                    807: 951027 When LOF is set, the frame is one line longer.
                    808: 951026 Implemented a preliminary diskfile type for special formats. Turrican
                    809:        boots up correctly (crashes if I want to play a game, though).
                    810:        Implemented EHB and added a few missing masking operations in the color
                    811:        handling.
                    812:        Fixed the absw addressing mode - need to sign extend here as well.
                    813: 951025 Fixed another extremely stupid bug, this time in the playfield code.
                    814:        Each pixel was calculated four times...
                    815:        Increased the size of the apixels array - this was being overrun.
                    816: 951024 Fixed an extremely stupid bug in flag settings for byte and word
                    817:        operations.
                    818:        The "sectors until gap" field must be in the range 1..11 instead of
                    819:        0..10, or very bad things will happen if it is used to calculate a
                    820:        blit size.
                    821: 951021 Don't use real pointers to fetch bitplane data - too many segfaults.
                    822:        Delay the copper after executing an instruction, or wait sequences like
                    823:        FFDF FFFE 0200 FFFE won't work.
                    824:        Some programs expect that the CPU is completely turned off if the
                    825:        blitter nasty bit is set. So be it.
                    826:        The RSI Megademo chokes when disk DMA fetches two syncs. Leave one out.
                    827:        The LOF bit wasn't set correctly.
                    828: 951020 Blitter fixes: Load fill carry from FCI each line; keep the masked
                    829:        value of bltadat in bltolda
                    830:        Give the CPU twice as many "cycles" - this still is not even remotely
                    831:        correct, but a better estimate.
                    832: 951017 Added SVGAlib support. Unfortunately, my graphics card isn't fully
                    833:        supported by the current SVGAlib version.
                    834: 951015 More small optimizations to memory.h and custom.cc.
                    835:        Added code for 256 color screens. The type of screen has to be
                    836:        selected at compile time.
                    837: 951014 Modified the memory management to be (hopefully) a little more
                    838:        efficient.
                    839:        Changed gencpu.cc to generate functions and a big function pointer
                    840:        array instead of the old case labels. The generated C++ files now
                    841:        compile a lot faster, and the code should be better as well.
                    842: 951013 Implemented pseudo POTGOR to keep the RMB from being detected as
                    843:        pressed all the time.
                    844:        GenerateDecTab() generated TRAP incorrectly.
                    845:        Made some more instructions (MOVE.B A0,D0 etc) illegal in gencpu.cc.
                    846:        Fixed X colors. Fixed data fetching for HiRes screens.
                    847: 951011 EXT.WL instructions set the flags.
                    848:        Implemented second CPU emulator, plus "DualCPU" option. The new CPU
                    849:        emulator is generated automatically from a file called table68k by
                    850:        a program called gencpu.
                    851: 951002 Removed version information from the file headers.
                    852:        Removed some sillinesses in custom.cc. 
                    853:        DSKLEN bug fixed (mask out 0xC000).
                    854:        Playfield code rewritten. Now supports horizontal scrolling. Implemented
                    855:        some primitive color support.
                    856: 950927 Fixed predecrement/postincrement addressing with byte size for the
                    857:        stack pointer.
                    858: 950926 Fixes to the disk code: Terminate disk DMA, flip disk side, read more
                    859:        than just two sectors during disk DMA, fix checksum calculation.
                    860:        Fixed copper comparison bugs.
                    861:        
                    862: 950901 Release 0.1
                    863: 950826 bugfix in GenerateDecTab(): LEA.W instructions were generated.
                    864: 950312 New file disk.cc, for (guess what) disk support. Doesn't work yet.
                    865: 950311 Multiplication instructions were generating 16 bit results.
                    866:        Sign extension was wrong in some places.
                    867:        Removed bugs in the blitter (one word width: ALWM & AFWM and line mode)
                    868:        The Kickstart logo looks perfect now.
                    869:        Playfield routine should check BPLCON0 instead of BLTCON0
                    870: 950309 ASR D8,D0 is not a valid instruction.
                    871:        Bitplane pointers were not incremented.
                    872:        Copper comparison didn't work. COP2LC and bitplane pointers were written
                    873:        incorrectly. Fixed.
                    874:        Something that bears a striking resemblance to the familiar Kickstart
                    875:        logo now appears in my X window!
                    876: 950306 ROR used to set the X flag. Bug fixes in GenerateDecTab.
                    877:        More bug fixes in several 68000 instructions.
                    878:        Improved blitter. ?????? KS1.3 doesn't seem to set BLTDMOD on a 
                    879:        line draw. What is this??
                    880:        Fixed stupid bugs in playfield code.
                    881: 950305 fixed bugs in opcode generation and interrupt handling. Implemented 
                    882:        STOP. Fixed flag settings: Result wasn't masked. Ooops!!
                    883:        ADDQ #imm,An doesn't set flags.
                    884:        One-shot timer mode didn't work.
                    885:        Implemented blitter, doesn't work.
                    886:        Some primitive and slow playfield support, only to make the things that
                    887:        hopefully will soon appear visible.
                    888: 950304 CIA timers ought to work OK. Copper is emulated.
                    889:        Emulator loops infinitely when trying to initialize the console.device
                    890: 950303 experiments with X, figured out how to open a window and draw pixels.
                    891:        No graphics emulation yet, though.
                    892: 950301 Nearly all instructions work.
                    893:        Fixed supervisor mode stack.
                    894:        The memory manager now handles CIA chips.
                    895: 950228 Bug fixes in 68000 code, exceptions and more instructions implemented
                    896:        Memory management extended to handle custom chips as well.
                    897:        Debugger improved.
                    898:        Kickstart passes memory & CPU type test, builds up some system
                    899:        structures.
                    900: 950227 MC68000 & little debugger for tracing. It can execute the first couple
                    901:        of KS1.3 instructions, but doesn't get past the memory test.
                    902: 950225 Work begun
