- menu and option names for the network configuration fixed
- NIC init code passes script name to ethernet module init code
- VDE module added to the list of ethernet modules
- constant BX_PACKET_BUFSIZE moved to eth.h
- replaced obsolete method ConvertToBitmap() by wxBitmap(wxImage) constructor
- PCI config dialog must be disabled at runtime
- wxWindows has been renamed to wxWidgets, source files updated (TODO: update docs)
Description from the author:
This API allows framebuffer device plugins to draw directly on to the
GUI's tile buffer and hence eliminates the need to memcpy(3C) tiles to
an intermediate buffer. Functions like update_hardware_cursor function
are rendered unnecessary as framebuffer device plugins can now draw the
full range of host colours. svga_cirrus will fallback to calling
graphics_tile_update without a hardware cursor if the GUI doesn't support
the new API. This patch includes implementations of graphics_tile_info,
graphics_tile_get, and graphics_tile_update_in_place (the new API) for SDL
and X11.
- new graphics update API implemented in wx and rfb
- common update functions for guis without support for the new API added (should
be removed after implementing the new API in all display libraries)
data written to the port and where to get the data read from it. Available
modes are 'null' (no input/output), 'file' (output to a file specified as
the 'dev' parameter), 'term' (serial terminal) and 'raw' (use the real serial
port - under construction for win32).
- descriptions for serial and parallel options in bochsrc sample updated
* up to 5 slots can be specified with the 'i440fxsupport' config option
* the pci slot number are hardwired to pci device numbers
* the 'devfunc' value is returned the calling device (useful for multi-function
devices)
* the core of the i440FX chipset is hardwired to pci device 1 + 2; usb is still
optional and appears at device 1, function 2
- ne2k: enable pci features if connected to a pci slot
- ne2k: asic data port supports 32-bit access if ne2k-pci is active
- pci2isa: improved error messages for ELCR1 and ELCR2
bochs.h already not include iodev.h which reduces compilation dependences for almost all cpu and fpu files, now cpu files will not be recompiled if iodev includes was changed
- textconfig runtime menu: some options moved to submenu "Misc runtime options"
- bx_param_c: variable group_name and methods set_group() / get_group() added
- bx_list_c: new flag SHOW_GROUP_NAME added (used for SB16 options in runtime menu)
- define various rfbEncodings
- display and keep track of the rfbEncodings supported by the client
- add todo at start of file
- set sockets option (REUSE_ADDR), useful on solaris
- add LGPL'd rfb protocol specification, thanks to Frederic Bothamy, rewrite based on the rfb protocol document.
- add specific rfb readme to warn about the color depth.
Still to do:
- BigEndian client support (I suspect the current implementation is not clean).
- depth > 8bpp support
- on-board vga card font support instead of vgafont.h
- dimension update support
- optional compression support
and bpp (done for the x display library)
- new switch VBE_DISPI_GETCAPS. The xres, yres and bpp registers return the gui
capabilities if enabled.
- VBE_DISPI_ID3 defined
