Changelog

    New features:

    support for RDB hardfiles was implemented; while creating a new hardfile from the WinFellow GUI still creates "plain" hardfiles, a Rigid Disk Block can be created using tools like HD Toolbox
    – the default naming scheme for filesystem devices has been changed from DHx: to FSx: to avoid naming conflicts with existing RDB hardfiles
    a 64 bit build is now provided; the NSIS installer will install either the 32 or 64 bit version depending on the operating system that is used

    Bug fixes:

    improved handling of hardware interrupts and blitter delays; fixes freezes that could occur during installation of Workbench in earlier 0.5.x versions
    fix wrong selection of render function after return from menu when application did not write to bplcon0 every frame; fixes garbled graphics in a Legend cracktro when returning from menu
    replaced alternating patterns for unmapped memory with proper random numbers
    CLR reads before write; fixes loading of Outrun and a fast-mem test in Last Ninja 2
    improve delay caused by logging in screen-mode enumeration (could amount to many seconds with multiple screens)
    running in an environment with very slow graphics framerate, like a VM, could cause a deadlock; set wait time after event reset to avoid race condition
    fix an issue where screenshots would occasionally not be taken in Direct3D graphics mode; this may also have impacted the ability to use Amiga Forever's clipping editor
    fix an issue where applying a new model preset would leave multiple blitter radio buttons selected

    Maintenance updates:

    project files were updated to Visual Studio 2019 using the toolset v141_xp
    the February 2010 DirectX SDK dependency was eliminated
    IPF Access API files were updated to the latest version, and support for it was enabled in 64 bit builds

Changelog

    Trumpcard A500AT v1.2 ROM dump found, compared to v1.1 (extracted from driver disk .driver file), main difference seems to be use of interrupts. Emulation updated. Both ROM versions have same version/date string "AT 1.1 (06 NOV 1991)", I guess they forgot to update it..
    Disk index pulses were not being generated when disk was being written (Broke Cadaver v0.1 save disk writing, has been broken at least since 3.0)
    Restoring CD32 or CDTV statefile with CD audio playing: start playing immediately, do not emulate CD audio start delays.
    Added statefile generic partial IO autoconfig board support, board is mapped in address space and visible in Hardware Info panel after restore. Each board still needs separate statefile implementation.
    CDTV audio CD playing state restore fixed.
    Dont save AGA colors chunk to statefile if config is not AGA and all AGA colors are uninitialized (if initialized: config was changed on the fly and AGA palette should be saved)
    Archos Overdrive HD (PCMCIA IDE adapter) emulation added.
    Generic PCMCIA hotswap support, each PCMCIA expansion has "PCMCIA inserted" checkbox, if ticked, card is inserted and if any other card was inserted, it gets removed first. If unticked, card is removed. Checkbox can be changed on the fly. Reason for this change is to have hotswap support that is not device type specific.
    PCMCIA SRAM and PCMCIA IDE are now expansion devices. Old PCMCIA SRAM/IDE configs need to be manually updated.
    PCMCIA conflict check was incorrect, it detected 4M Fast RAM as conflicting.
    PCMCIA SRAM: if SRAM image size is larger than 4M but less than 5M, extra data is used to replaced autogenerated attribute data (0xa00000-0xa1ffff)
    Expansion panel selected device was unexpectedly cleared when clicking GUI elements.
    CIA overlay is unused only in Gayle based Amigas (A600, A1200) and also CD32. A4000 and A4000T models had incorrectly disabled CIA overlay emulation.
    Internal CD mount audio playback handled pregap incorrectly if previous track was in different file than current audio track and pregap was between tracks (cue/iso/wav, first audio track), it caused first 2 seconds (or length of pregap) of audio to be played with zero volume.
    High DPI support rewritten, now requires "Per Monitor DPI Aware V2" feature which was introduced in Windows 10 1703. 8.1 introduced original "V1" version which is not supported anymore. Manual GUI size/font adjustments are still supported in older Windows versions.
    GUI high DPI problems fixed, for example when moving GUI window from monitor to another monitor with different DPI usually worked very badly.
    Windowed mode bottom status bar is now high DPI compatible.
    Direct3D11 mode + Windows 10 with DXGI HDR support + HDR enabled GPU and display: use HDR compatible back buffer (DXGI_FORMAT_R16G16B16A16_FLOAT)
    Disk swapper path modifications did nothing while emulation was running.
    When overwriting configuration.backup, dont move old file to recycle bin. Backup of a backup is not that useful.
    CD32 pad emulation didnt handle weird pad reading code where pad mode selection Paula pin was in input mode and code set POTGO START bit which discharges POT caps = CD32 pad will see 0v in 3rd button line and activates CD32 pad mode.
    Enabled CD32 pad mode and normal second fire button (not CD32 blue) is pressed: override CD32 pad mode and use normal joystick mode. (This is basically same as having joystick port splitter that allows to connect both CD32 pad and normal joystick at the same time)
    CIA odd address word or long read/write access returned upper and lower byte swapped.
    Switching chipset on the fly (OCS<>ECS/AGA using uae-configuration) didnt reset BEAMCON0, some other AGA only registers and sprite widths.
    Removed all 68020 cycle-exact CPU mode internal idle cycles. It wasnt good enough design (as expected), need to start from scratch later.. again.. It made real 68020 best case results too slow. (and worst case was still too fast..)
    uae-configuration didnt work in indirect UAE boot ROM mode. (uae-configuration uses C-style stack parameters and trap code didnt preserve SP)
    Added separate CPU tester project that generates test data file for configured CPU (cputestgen.ini) and Amiga program that uses generated data.
    Fixed E-Matrix 530/Typhoon MK2 RAM mapping. Now all supported memory sizes work and is detected correctly.
    Modularized expansions device handling more, each device now dynamically adds hsync, vsync, interrupt check etc... callbacks when initialized. Report if some expansion device/device combination stopped working.
    Sprite to bitplane collisions didnt set all CLXDAT bits with certain CLXCON combinations (bad early exit optimization added long time ago)
    Scala MM "green" and "red" dongles emulated and confirmed working.
    Emulate HHPOS "UHRES" hsync counter read-only and write-only registers (ECS/AGA) and BEAMCON0 DUAL bit. If BEAMCON0 DUAL=0: HHPOS counts to normal max horizontal position, if DUAL=1: It counts to HTOTAL.
    Host directory/archive drag and drop to WinUAE window now supports mounting multiple items simultaneously.
    First pixel(s) of sprite was not drawn in certain situations when sprite start position was just before border and distance was less than 1 lores pixel. (Marvins Marvellous Adventure)
    SPTI CD/DVD access mode now internally emulates all CD audio commands (CD/DVD/BD drive analog CD audio support was obsoleted long, long time ago). All other commands are forwarded to the drive like previously.
    uaegfx RTG mode was unnecessarily initialized twice in some situations.
    When selecting accelerator board using GUI, matching CPU model is also set and 24-bit addressing is cleared. Manual adjustment is still possible after autoselect. Note: when CPU model gets lowered from 68030 to 68020 compatible board or from 68060 to 68040 compatible board, CPU is not changed automatically.
    Debugger "Scanning.." memory selection worked strangely or badly when system had 32-bit RAM.
    Debugger memwatch bus error option ("B"), generates bus error when triggered.
    nrg CD images didnt load correctly in relative path mode.
    24-bit uaegfx RTG mode had random wrong color pixels in some situations (Elastic Dreams)

Changelog

    68060 PCR FPU disabled bit was not set when 68060 model didnt have FPU (b1).
    PCMCIA slot (if card configured) was not enabled at reset. Small change to attribute from image file: extra attribute data must be at least 512 bytes (b1).
    CALLM disassembler support
    FSAVE/FRESTORE and PSAVE/PRESTORE (if 020/030) generate privilege violation exception (if run in user mode) even if FPU/MMU is not installed.
    When editing Display panel width/height boxes, dont validate the value immediately to prevent useless "must be at least" messages in the log window/error log.
    List font selection removed, may come back if fix for some side-effects is found.
    GUI scaling partially rewritten yet again. Now uses ReactOS/Wine CreateDialogIndirectParam() reimplementation with some customization which enables resize code to find out exactly which elements are part of GUI, final screen coordinates, types etc. Remaining high DPI related glitches should be fixed.
    GUI panel change redraw flicker is gone.
    Fixed double free and buffer overflow in GUI code (b1)
    Copper COPJMP cycle sequence order was wrong, first cycle does not need free cycle, second cycle requires free cycle, logic analyzer rechecked. (vAmiga test case)
    Using SPRxPOs to move DMA mode sprite horizontally towards right very little so that "both" sprites still have overlapping pixels: old sprite was still drawn fully. (vAmiga test case)

Changelog

    New features/improvements:

    GUI high DPI support rewritten.
    Lagless vsync stability improvements.
    Added Trojan light gun preset to Game ports panel.
    On the fly chipset model switching compatibility improved.
    SPTI CD/DVD access mode now internally emulates all CD audio commands. All other commands are forwarded to the drive like previously.
    PCMCIA hot swap support improved. (PCMCIA SRAM and IDE needs to be set again if previously configured)
    My CPU tester detected edge cases, bugs and undocumented CPU behavior updates implemented. (More details in separate CPU tester note later)
    More compatible partition HDF default geometry calculation if size is 1000M or larger.
    CD32 pad does not anymore disable joystick second button if both CD32 and 2-button joystick is active simultaneously.
    Host directory/archive drag and drop to WinUAE window now supports mounting multiple items simultaneously.
    Debugger disassembler fixes and few very rarely used instructions dissemble now correctly.

    Bugs fixed:

    Disk index pulses were not being generated when disk was being written (Cadaver v0.1 save disk writing)
    CDTV audio CD playing state restore fixed.
    A2024 monitor didn’t show full viewable area.
    24-bit uaegfx RTG mode had random wrong color pixels in some situations.

    Other changes:

    Added separate 68000-68060 CPU tester/validator project based on UAE CPU core generator.
    Removed all 68020 cycle-exact CPU mode internal idle cycles. It mainly slowed down the CPU too much and didn’t match real world well enough.

    New emulated hardware:

    Archos Overdrive HD (PCMCIA IDE adapter)
    ICD Trifecta (A500 IDE/SCSI controller)

Changelog

* Changes in Vice 3.4
=====================

We are still looking for dedicated maintainers for the Windows port, if you
want to help improving these and/or want to provide binaries, please get in
touch.

We also needs support in fixing the various keyboard mappings, please test the
keyboard in your favourite OS and port and report any problems.

We welcome dqh in the team, who will take care of the macOS port.


** General
----------

- Remove support for Syllable OS, SCO, QNX4, QNX6, SGI, AIX, OpenStep/NextStep/
  Rhapsody, Solaris/OpenIndiana and remaining traces of Minix, NeXT, SKYOS,
  UNIXWARE, Sortix

- Remove remaining traces of support for WATCOM, MSVC, OpenWatcom

- Remove aRts support

- Remove YUV rendering

- Remove generation of .chm, .hlp and .info files. Please use the .pdf or .html

- skip building x64 unless --enable-x64 is passed to configure

- do not use the new/experimental 8580 filters unless --enable-new8580filter
  is passed to configure

- update pattern generator for uninitialized ram. changed defaults so all
  raminitpattern tests pass.

- remove block device disk image (rawdrive) "support". in linux it was never
  needed (just use the device file) and on windows it was never implemented.

- added support for the IP232 protocol that was used by the long lost VICE1.19
  hack, and which is supported by tcpser for emulating DTR/DCD (carrier detect)

- various userport rs232 fixes

- always save gifs as gif89

- added a couple shift flags to keyboard maps to support virtual cbm/ctrl and
  mandatory pressed host modifiers. not all keymaps have been updated yet.

- ACIA IRQ fix

- create empty half tracks when mounting d64. fixes skew.d64

- new headless port that can be enabled by passing --enable-headlessui to
  configure. this can be used to build an emulator without video output, which
  may be useful for scripting.


** Autostart fixes
------------------

- Implemented autostart for tapecart images (.tcrt)

- Automatically change drive type when autostarting disk images that do not
  work with the currently active drive.

- Make AutostartRunWithColon default

- fixed autostart when memory hacks are enabled (plus60k, plus256k, plus4)

- make auto-starting from tape also respect the 'basicload' option, loading
  absolute by default

- when using a disk image to autostart .prg files, remove the .prg extension
  from the temporary file name

- many detail fixes that make autostart work as expected in all emulators and
  in all configurations (eg C128 in 80 columns or C64 mode)


** Snapshot fixes
-----------------

- More strict checking and more explizit error reporting


** 6510 fixes
-------------

- Accurate emulation of ANE#imm and LAX#imm "magic constant" dependency on RDY.
  All occurrences of unstable use are being logged now. LAX#imm "magic constant"
  changed to 0xEF, which makes the problem cases "spectipede" and "turrican 3"
  work.

- fix: reset should set the I flag


** VIC-II fixes
---------------

- Accurate emulation of the "VSP bug". Warnings about possible VSP related
  memory corruption are always logged, actual memory corruption is still
  optional.

- Fixed changing more than one colour register via monitor


** VIC fixes
------------

- new noise LFSR as reverse engineered by Lance Ewing.


** SID fixes
------------

- use model dependent floating output ttl values like in residfp


** Monitor
----------

- Support full expressions in the monitor conditional breakpoints.

- When deleting checkpoints, reset the index to 1 when there are no more
  checkpoints left

- Added 'RL' for rasterline and 'CY' for cycle in line to list of conditionals
  that can be used for breakpoints.

- in mc/ms commands show asterisk for 1s and dots for 0s, not the other way
  around

- adjust number of disassembled lines so the top line does not scroll out of
  the window when labels are used.

- Added "log" and "logname" commands to control logging to a file


** vdrive
---------

- added rudimentary support for CMD-style reading of the RTC

- respect error info in disk images (only when reading right now). Should trick
  some simple protections.

- report 65535 blocks free rather than 0 so that applications that query
  available disk space before saving work as expected, e.g. some BBSs


** C-64 fixes
-------------

- added support for MAX Basic cartridge, new CRTID 61

- added clockport device for rrnet mk3

- fixed reading of 'open' clockport, fixed io dump for clockport devices

- implemented support for cartridge hardware revision in the crt format

- When attaching an Easyflash cartridge image, replace the EAPI driver with the
  one for the flash chip VICE supports. This way EF images that contain a
  different driver (for whatever reason) will still work.

- various keymaps added and/or fixed/updated.


** C-128 fixes
--------------

- added proper C128D model type.

- various MMU fixes

- fixed broken memory mapping in C64 mode

- Completely rewritten VDC vertical handling code. VDC101 demo with it's
  vdc-split technique is now fully emulated. This rewrite attempts to emulate
  more how the VDC works internally, and how the video signal/screen react, so
  the border height etc is now more naturally handled.

- Various misc VDC fixes, e.g. show blank lines with certain register combinations


** Gtk3 UI
----------

- Implemented "restore display" (Alt+r). Resets the active window to its
  minimal/natural size. Handy when stretching the window and then not knowing
  you can make the window smaller again with resizing that same window until
  it doesn't get smaller.

- Change double-clicking images in smart/diskattach dialogs to 'open' instead
  of autostarting

- added options to select rendering backend and filter

- fixed opening files with UTF8 encoded filenames

- Make the (VTE) monitor display on top of the emulated machine window when in
  fullscreen

- copy only used icons into the distribution, which drastically reduced its size

- Added keyboard debugging to the statusbar

- Added * (all files) filter to the fliplist attach dialog. This will allow
  people to use Pi1541 *.lst files at their own peril.

- Add proper statusbar messages when using the fliplist.

- Add howto about creating a Gtk3-Windows cross-compiler on Debian with Fedora
  packages (aka FrankenVICE)

- only show the host keyboard mappings in the list for which we have a valid
  mapping, grey out symbolic/positional depending on what keymaps are actually
  available

- Move joystick settings to the joystick widget on the statusbar.

- Windows: add icons to binaries

- allow better control of the filter settings by removing tick marks
  of the sliders and adding spinboxes (6581+ReSID only)

- Fix the 'media recording' dialog to not show empty widgets when FFMPEG support
  is missing, show hint on compiling in FFMPEG instead.


** SDL fixes
------------

- make hotkeys only check left alt, which makes right alt (alt-gr) work in
  keyboard mappings.


** macOS fixes
--------------

- make open-gl work

- binary distributions, font support, GTK3 dock icon

- fix missing icon theme, fixed pdf manual generation, improved build
  instructions

- fixed macOS make bindist when building out of tree

- Added instructions for building and debugging using Xcode
