LATEST BETA FIXES AND ADDITIONS: - ADDED: 0.8.14 changes - FIXED: The 0.8.13 crashing nastiness due to my overzealous plugging of memory leaks. - CHANGED: All audio goes through WaveOut double-buffering now. Let me know if this is a big deal, and I can revert to the big mess that was the DSound/WaveOut combo-code. I **MUCH** prefer the current code and functionality, but I'm not sure how its going to perform on other people's machines... NOTE: NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF AUDIO YOU SELECT, YOU'LL GET WAVEOUT DOUBLE-BUFFERED. STILL TO DO: * - midi-input support * - localization support for GUI (German done, Spanish and Italian next?) * - tripple-buffering * - use of 16-bit RGB overlay surfaces in windowed mode when running on true- colour desktops (24-bit or 32-bit). * - JIT engine for immensely faster 68K emulation NOTE: Some of these to-do items will not make it into 0.8.14 at this time. ____________________________________________________________________________ __ WinUAE 0.8.14 Release 1 ============================================================================ == - FIXED: When WinUAE is full-screen, the Message dialog-box no longer "hides" and locks up WinUAE. Instead, WinUAE will automatically minimize itself and display the dialog-box on the Windows Desktop. - FIXED: log-file no longer fills up with blit failure reports. - FIXED: Some resources (critical-sections, threads) weren't being cleaned-up. - FIXED: [Load From...] button now works properly. - FIXED: .uae config-files with spaces in them are now supported when double- clicked. - FIXED: Increased compatability (Bernd, Sam, Toni) - FIXED: Copper emulation state machine (Sam) - FIXED: Floppy emulation and DMA (Sam, Toni) - FIXED: CPU+FPU emulation bugs (Sam, Christian Bauer, Toni, me) - FIXED: Only allow a single instance of WinUAE to be running. - FIXED: Joystick support under Win2K. - FIXED: Scroll-Lock to pause screen-refreshes works. - FIXED: About-page URL link handling. - FIXED: File-system code, including preservation of mode-bits on a rename (Brian Gontowski, David Varley, me) - FIXED: File-system code can handle more than 500-files per directory now. - ADDED: File-system now supports and persists file-notes (comments), and the Script, Pure, and Delete bits. - ADDED: Floppy disk DMA slider for control of disk DMA speed (Toni) - ADDED: "Custom" floppy creation, for use in game-saves (Toni) - ADDED: DirectInput support for USB and other joystick devices. - ADDED: New CPU-speed setting for unlimited speed (no synchronization). - ADDED: Sound interpolation support code (Bernd), and relevent GUI changes. - ADDED: [Info] section on Configurations page of GUI, for linking external text, html, or screen-shots to a particular configuration. - ADDED: German localization of the GUI. (Georg Veichtlbauer) - ADDED: "Back To The Roots" link in About page of GUI. (Bobic) - CHANGED: Hard-disk to local filesystem translation-layer. MAY BE BUGGY NOW! - CHANGED: Native CD-ROM drives are mounted as CDx: instead of DHx: - CHANGED: Frames-per-second are only displayed in Amiga screen-modes now. - CHANGED: Blitter and floppy emulation (from Bernd, Sam and Toni) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
