with devices conected at runtime.
- Added restore handler support for the bx_list_c class. If a handler is
registered, it will be called after restoring all of the list's members.
- USB hub: add special lists to the port state and add pointers to the
runtime-only options for each port. The restore handler of this list calls
init_device() to make sure all connected devices can be restored.
- Call restore_logopts() after restoring hardware to make sure all saved
modules have been created.
- TODO: the USB cdrom also needs a fix for it's runtime-only options.
- bx_param_num_c: set the value returned from the handler.
- bx_param_string_c: set the new value after processing the handler.
- harddrv param handler: check lock state of cdrom and modify value if true.
This fixes the floppy malfunction after restore and maybe other issues. The
buggy code failed to clear the DMA controller mask bits and the floppy DMA
requests never arrived at the CPU.
- bx_param_string_c method isempty() didn't work for raw byte strings. Now using
it to check whether or not the current value matches the initial one. The
parameter handling of the network adapters now use this method to check if
the MAC address is already initialized to avoid incorrect BX_ERRORs.
- small documentation update
- If the runtime flag of a bx_list_c object is set, all it's items are set up
as runtime options.
- Set the runtime parameter for all top-level runtime-only lists. Setting up
each single parameter is no longer needed.
- bx_list_c: added support for removing parameter with other parent list
- USB HC's: remove item from runtime config on simulation exit
- initialize bx_user_quit in bx_begin_simulation()
- only remove optional plugin from list if alrady unloaded
- isempty() returns 1 if string length is 0 or string has special value "none"
- sprint() copies the formatted / converted string into a buffer
- use new methods in some parts of the code (TODO: win32 dialogs)
- check for the special value "none" to avoid failures
also works and no deplist trick is required
- bx_param_c destructor now deletes the dependent list if it exists (memory leak)
- bx_list_c::clear() only deletes the parameter if the list is it's parent
- added new method cleanup_save_restore() to free memory on simulator shutdown
- bx_list_c: don't accept duplicate param names in list (except dependent lists
and special menus)
- added BX_PANIC for malloc() failure
- harddrv: fixed wrong variable found with bx_list_c changes
also for textconfig - fix operation under cygwin
under cygwin it is not guaranteed that any printf is printed on the screen under you flush the FILE stream.
- fixed size entries in bitmap file header for 8 bpp
- bx_param_filename_c now uses the file extension from the initial value as
the default (if present)
- SIM->ask_filename() now uses the correct parameter type
- win32paramdlg AskFilename(): added filter for BMP files

Desription for CHANGES:
- Memory
- Added new configure option which enables RAM file backing for large guest
memory with a smaller amount host memory, without causing a panic when
host memory is exhausted (patch by Gary Cameron). To enable configure with
--enable-large-ramfile option.
