- Moved wx gui plugin entry point to wx.cc, so we can use the macro
PLUGIN_ENTRY_FOR_GUI_MODULE to be compatible with the other guis.
- Updated gui Makefile dependencies.
- Improved macro definitions for plugin entry points.
- Forward declarations of plugin entry points are only required when plugin
support is off.
- Improved panic message for the case when plugin entry point is not found.
plugin_entry(). The additional boolean argument "init" is used to select the
requested action. The entry points still have unique names for compatibility
with the "non-plugin" compilation. Added macros for setting up these names
(e.g. PLUGIN_ENTRY_FOR_MODULE for device plugins).
- Now that we know about all available plugins at startup, the bx_list_c object
"plugin_ctrl" contains a fixed number of bx_param_bool_c objects representing
the requested status (1 = load). It is verified at simulation startup.
- The config interface creates two text lists (textconfig) or list boxes (win32,
wx) from it to show the remaining available and the loaded plugins. Loading
and unloading is performed immediately and plugins may install / uninstall
options in other menus / dialogs.
- Modified the "non-plugin" code to make the optional plugin control work very
similar in this mode.
- bx_load_plugin() now returns the status of the operation.
- Plugin load failures are now correctly handled by the plugin code (unloading
if necessary, then panic).
string constants instead of hardcoded values. Available modes are detected at
Bochs startup and stored in a string array before initializing options. In the
plugins case additional modes are read from the plugins list. If plugins are
off, the hdimage_locator_c registry is used. Related changes in all parts of
Bochs that need the hdimage stuff.
TODO #1: Network and sound drivers could be handled in a similar way.
TODO #2: Make disk image mode detection work again in plugins mode.
- Added suffix "_gui" to the base name of display library plugins.
- Added new function plugins_search() that browses the plugin folder(s) and
detects the type from the library name. Plugins with no prefix or suffix are
treated as i/o device plugins. The plugin_load() function uses this database.
- Some related fixes and cleanups.
- Added buffer for maximum 16 key events.
- PS/2 keyboard now sets the changed indicators only.
- Added support for the yellow status indicator in the win32 gui.
- Added HID code for the menu key.
- Added support for the yellow status indicator in the rfb and vncsrv guis.
- Cleaned up status indicator code in SDL, SDL2 and X guis.
- Unified USB keyboard and keypad code. Removed the keypad lookup table.
- Moved keyboard indicator stuff to the devices code and use it for both the
USB and legacy keyboard device. In the USB case a different color is used.
- In the SDL, SDL2 and X guis added new status indicator color yellow. It is
designed to be used by the USB keyboard (write flag 1 and "auto_off" flag 0).
- Added missing sysmbol to the German X11 keymap table.
- Always apply the A20 setting to the requested address.
- Fixed the conditions for SMRAM access.
- Added support for memory handlers and removed direct VGA memory access.
- Added support for reading from BIOS flash memory.
The latest release is from 2001 and it will not work on modern Linux systems.
Parts of the SVGALib code have been moved to the Linux kernel and the X11 and
SDL libraries are using it as a video driver.
- Now cursor can appear in two different modes (if supported by terminal)
- Simplified text cursor handling.
- Show a status bar if terminal has enough lines for it. Added "show IPS" output
there unless display library option "hideIPS" is used.
- The X gui behaviour should be unchanged.
- RFB / vncsrv: cursor shape fixes.
- Changed format of the font parameters to fix "double width" characters.
- Restore guest charmap after leaving gui console.
- Now using text_update_common() for the new text update API in addition to the
graphical text snapshot feature.
- Drawing to snapshot buffer moved to new method draw_char_common().
- A gui using the new text update API only needs to implement the new method
draw_char(). The method set_font() is optional and it can be used to update
font bitmaps / pixmaps.
- Modified the RFB gui to use the new API. Now the VGA features split screen
and h/v pel panning are supported by the RFB gui. The legacy text_update()
method is now empty but it must be present for compatiblity.
- TODO: Implement new API in some other guis to reduce code duplication.
- Shortcut parser sets a flag in case of error.
- String parameter handler resets to old value if the new one is invalid.
- User button handler shows a message box if the parser signals an error.
- Added support for split screen mode and horizontal pel panning.
- Text mode cursor now correctly visible independent from blink state.
- Workarounds for the existing text_update() API.
set accordingly.
TODO #1: Text mode features split screen and h/v pel panning missing for now.
TODO #2: Show error messages related to dialogs in message boxes.
