the SF patch #1539417, but rewritten from scratch (patch too old). Differences
to the original version:
* internal parameter name "readonly"
* update parameter if floppy image is readonly
* wxWidgets support
* documentation updates
* no specific toolbar buttons
* added CL video card to the list of features
* mentioned editable user shortcut input box
* some spelling fixes
- some ata-* and floppy related updates
- guest OS Knoppix is now also available on DVD
- missing reset of PCI slot options added
- parsing of i440fxsupport config line rewritten
- vga_update_interval default value changed to 40000 and docs updated
- some more documentation updated including default values for some bochsrc options
number of steps to do, the step rate time and the date rate
- the option floppy_command_delay is obsolete now, since all floppy delays are
based on the hardware specs. The usage of this option caused a warning now.
* added a few more intra-documentation links
* sync'ed software license introduction line among sections
* added Cirrus video card hint and bypass hardware check parameter
to Windows 98 section
- descriptions of 'romimage' and 'megs' updated
- usage of old-style syntax for 'user_shortcut' now causes a warning
- deprecated options 'pit' and 'time0' now cause an error
- old disk options completely removed from bochsrc parser
- documentation changes: 'pit' and 'time0' removed, 'user_shortcut' updated
with a '-' character. Added support for some more keys. The old-style syntax
is still supported for a few key combinations.
- updated/added documentation for the 'cmosimage' option
- removed obsolete parameters for usb1 and pnic (now assigned by the PCI BIOS)
- PCI base address register mechanism now leaves the flags untouched
- missing reset of pnic options added
You can now choose for each disk on the ata interfaces the
disk mode, between :
- flat : one file flat layout
- concat : multiple files layout
- external : developer's specific, through a C++ class
- dll : developer's specific, through a DLL
- sparse : stackable, commitable, rollbackable
- vmware3 : vmware3 disk support
- undoable : flat file with commitable redolog
- growable : growing file
- volatile : flat file with volatile redolog
- z-undoable : gziped flat file with commitable redolog
- z-volatile : gziped flat file with volatile redolog
A new "bxcommit" utility can merge commitable redologs to
flat images.
- move DOC-linux.html into the docbook in a section called "Quick Start for
Linux Users", and removed all references to the DOC-linux file that I could
find. Most of the text has been moved into the Linux RPM section. Parts
that did not fit into the docbook are now in doc/docbook/misc.txt.
- put vga.pcf into INSTALL_LIST_X11 so that it's only installed when
you configure with --with-x11.
- transfer section on VGA font installation from docs-html into user guide
- remove RCS id from screen shots within user guide, since they are changed
to the revision info of user.dbk.

parport1 with the new option "enabled". The old option "enable" only
controlled the output. The parport1 is enabled with no output by default.
Changes:
* bochrc option "enable" replaced by "enabled"
* parport option "Oenable" replaced by "Opresent"
* bx_parport_options par1 and par2 replaced by an array par[2]
* initialize parport1 resources only when enabled
* renamed variable "parport_init_list" to "par_ser_init_list" since it
contains parport and serial options
* documentation and bochsrc updates
- the parport variables "output" and "initmode" now belong to the bx_par_t
structure
- TODO: add parport2 (disabled by default), parport detection in the bios
references in the other manpages are updated.
- the version placeholder is now written in lowercase. This prevents the
modification of the sed argument by 'configure'
- install/uninstall commands for the manpages in Makefile.in modified to make
the changes obove work.
- header and footer of the manpages fixed
- pathnames of installed files updated (FHS compatibility)
- "parport1" section in the bochsrc manpage added
- new option "cdrom" in the "boot" section of the bochsrc manpage added
