76c11e1a40 - Configure option --enable-acpi is deprecated and should not be used anymore.
The ACPI support is always automatically compiled in if PCI is compiled in.
    The ACPI still could be disabled using .bochsrc 'plugin_ctrl' option.

Updated CHANGES and docs as well.

8c32359615 The VBE display extension is now a part of the Bochs core. The configure option
--enable-vbe is now deprecated and the symbols BX_SUPPORT_VBE and
BX_SUPPORT_PCIVGA have been removed. To enable VBE support, the bochsrc option
"vga: extension=" must be set to "vbe". If PCI is present, you can assign the
"pcivga" device to a PCI slot.

dec6bcaf73 - started separation of sb16 and lowlevel sound module code. The first step is
an own header file for the basic sound output class. When ready we should
  have a separate 'soundmod' plugin that could be used by other soundcard
  implementations.

e48647acc1 - updates related to the save/restore changes 2007-09-29 09:01:02 +00:00
Stanislav Shwartsman
071c5c1a26 A lot of changes but everything is really trivial.
Make save/restore default feature, the configure option for save/restore removed from configure script and save/restore made available forever. All code now assume it is exists. Bochs save/restore tree previosly called "save_restore" renamed to "bochs" tree and it will be havily used everywhere, starting from save/restore and ending by various bochs debugger functions. I am going to rework debugger code to get rid of debug CPU access functions and use this "bochs" param tree instead
