<b>Bochs 1.4</b> (March 27, 2002):
Bochs 1.4 is the latest release of Bochs. This version delivers features that
many people have been wishing for: booting from a CDROM, VESA BIOS Extensions,
improved networking, keyboard mapping for non-US keyboards, and a working
serial port. You'll notice several new buttons on the GUI, copy, paste, and
snapshot, which let you copy text between the system clipboard and the Bochs
screen. And we have a new cross-platform interface using a library called SDL
(Simple DirectMedia Layer). Give it a spin!

Because Bochs is a cross-platform application, it can be compiled for
many platforms in addition to the ones for which binaries are provided.
If your platform can run the configure script, you can use the tarball.
If you're running Linux and your system can read RPMs, you can try
installing from a source RPM. If you're compiling for Win32 with
Microsoft VC++, the ZIP file contains sources that have already been
configured for you so you can go directly to the compile step. For
detailed compile instructions see the
<a href="/doc/docbook/user/book1.htm">User Guide</a> in the new
documentation.

<B>BOCHS SOURCE</B><BR>
Because Bochs is a cross-platform application, it is
distributed as source code in a TAR file. The primary file to download contains
the Bochs sources, documentation, and the custom BIOS file. If you are using a
UNIX platform, this is all you need. For Windows or Mac, because you cannot run
the configure script on your machine to generate Makefiles, you will also need
to grab a package of Makefiles, which are distributed separately.

Snapshot</b></font><BR><BR>
<b>CVS Snapshot:</b>
Bochs, like many other open source projects, uses CVS (Concurrent Version
System) to keep track of source code. Unlike the current release, the
CVS version of the sources contains everything the developers have written
to this date, and it can change daily (or even hourly). As a result, the
CVS version of Bochs will have more features and bug fixes than the release,
but also it may be somewhat less stable. You can decide if you prefer to go
exploring and try out our newest code, or stick with the better-tested
release. Since the CVS sources are always in motion, we take a snapshot each
night at some late hour after most developers should be in bed.
<BR><BR>
<!--#include virtual="cvs-snapshot/bochs-snapshot-links.html" -->
The CVS snapshots are provided as a convenience only. Of course, you could
also get the same information using CVS itself. Some of the benefits of
using CVS directly are: you can get any release or version, view the log
messages that say what files were changed, and make patches very easily
with "cvs diff -u".
