Bochs 2.6.2 is a bugfix release. Here is the list of changes :
About a year after the bugfix release 2.6.2 we have a new intermediate (bugfix+)
release. Here a brief summary of changes :
<ul>
<li>CPU
<ul>
<li>VMX: implemented VMENTER to non-active guest state (HLT, SHUTDOWN, WAIT-FOR-SIPI)
<li>VMX: fixed write of guest segment access rights VMCS fields (32-bit field was truncated to 16-bit)
<li>CPUID: Don't report Architectural Performance Monitoring in CPUID.
Reporting true capabilities without actually supporting them breaks Win7 x64 installation.
<li>CPUID: Fixed bx_generic CPUID std leafs (all std leafs > 2 were corrupted)
<li>CPUID: Enable all supported VMX capabilities for bx_generic CPUID configuration.
<li>CPUID: Enable X2APIC support for Ivy Bridge CPUDB configuration.
</ul>
<li>Configure and compile
<ul>
<li>Enabled VMX compilation by default in shortcut scripts.
<li>Allow CPU_LEVEL=5 configurations (pentium_mmx and amd_k2_chomper) even when Bochs was
compiled with CPU_LEVEL > 5.
</ul>
<li>Misc
<ul>
<li>Fixes for Bochs port on MorphOS (based on a patch by Thore Sittly):
missing functions, byte-swapping and cdrom support.
</ul>
<li>CPU: extra 5-10% emulation speedup with new trace linking optimization
<li>CPU: implemented new instructions (e.g. AVX-512, SHA, XSAVEC)
<li>CPUDB: added 2 new CPU models
<li>Bugfixes for CPU emulation correctness (including some critical ones)
<li>Gui debugger output window now can be used as a log viewer
<li>Added built-in slirp (user-mode networking) support (ported from Qemu)
<li>Added global sound config option and volume control support to the devices
<li>Added new experimental gui 'vncsrv" using the LibVNCServer library
<li>Rewrite of the bximage utility in C++ for image creation, conversion and resize
