official release of VICE. See `src/ChangeLog' for a more detailed

list of all the changes in the code.
14
- The VICEplus project has been joined with VICE. Thus, x64dtv is now
17
- We can be contacted via IRC: #vice-dev on freenode
19
- Added a more accurate ReSID engine using floating point math (ReSID-FP).
21
- Added support for the USB HardSID.
23
- PAL emulation has been rewritten and optimized.
25
- Fixed the ACIA 6551 emulation. (x64/x128/xcbm2/xpet/xplus4)
27
- Monitor commands help text is now translated too
28
(in ports where translation is available at all)
30
- Monitor IO command now displays IO area even if it is currently
33
- GCR file handling (.G64) issues an error message if the .G64 does not
34
have the expected outline. Before, VICE just silently ignored such
42
- Fixed the digimax sound generation.
44
- Added the RR clockport disable functionality at $DF00.0. Allows
47
- Improved REU compatibility and timing.
52
- Added isepic cartridge emulation.
54
- Added Double Quick Brown Box cartridge emulation.
59
- Improved the sound emulation.
61
- Fixed the lowest note bug.
63
- Improved VIC emulation (exact in-line color/reverse mode changes).
73
- XRandR fullscreen implemented
75
- Command line option `-fullscreen' is supposed to do something
78
- Vsync code imported from win32 (based on openGL extension).
79
see also doc/openGLsync-howto.txt.
81
- Vidmode (fullscreen support) is broken and therefore marked as
82
deprecated. It will be removed in the next release if no-one takes
83
responsibility to fix the broken code and is willing to maintain the
86
- PAL Emulation (new implementation, improved speed) should be usable
87
again (it was broken on certain display depths).
89
- Log messages are always english.
91
- Only x11 keymaps will be installed when doing a 'make install'.
93
- MIDI cartridge emulation for x128, x64 and xvic.
98
- Watcom generated executables are more optimized.
100
- MIDI cartridge emulation for x128, x64 and xvic.
102
- When specifying the target for the RS232 communication
103
(Menu Settings/RS232 Settings), the target can be specified by
104
name now. Before, you had to use the IP address.
106
- Fixed some minor errors with the RS232 communication via TCP
109
- RS232 can use real devices now, too.
110
To use this feature, you have to specify the COM port used in
111
Settings/RS232 Settings like:
112
\\.\com1: baud=57600 parity=N data=8 stop=1
114
The characters after the colon can be used to specify additional
115
settings for the COM port. The string must have the same form as the
116
mode command's command-line arguments:
117
[baud=b][parity=p][data=d][stop=s][to={on|off}][xon={on|off}]
118
[odsr={on|off}][octs={on|off}][dtr={on|off|hs}][rts={on|off|hs|tg}]
121
The above example specifies COM1 with a baud rate of 57600, no parity,
122
8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
124
Note that the leading \\.\ is used to distinguish between TCP/IP
125
targets and real devices, thus, you have to use it.
127
(Sorry, no fancy UI yet.)
130
* infoline appears only by pressing "I"
131

177
for fire and all directions.
