- unknown module names now cause a panic
- added log function names to some more devices
- TODO: find a way to configure log actions by device in the config interface
start menu (most of the devices do not exist at this point)
invalid module names, save log actions to bochsrc)
- added new member 'name' to the logfunctions class for the case the prefix
is too short. Added to some devices with longer names.
plugins is implemented in bochsrc, these functions can be used to install
additional options from the devices code. Then the whole init / parse / save
code for this device can be moved from config.cc to the device plugin.
Selecting CPU MODEL from .bochsrc automatically chooses real HW CPUID and also configures Bochs emulator to emulate this specific CPU including all its features only.
Supported CPUs to choose from:
core2_extreme_x9770
corei7_sandy_bridge_2600K
p4_prescott_celeron_336

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.
* moved runtime handlers for cdrom from config.cc to the device object
* cd media status variable is now always of type bx_bool
* changed obsolete gui names like "cdromD" to "cdrom1"
* TODO: implement new runtime config mechanism similar to USB
each other. Devices can register a handler to update it's state after runtime
configuration. The new method update_runtime_options() executes all registered
device handlers before the simulation continues.
- USB host controllers now using the new mechanism to handle the runtime device
change (replaces the previous timer-based implementation). TODO: floppy and
cdrom could use this feature, too)
- improved USB device change messages
* ported the read part of the Qemu vvfat block driver
* added win32 specific directory functions (required for MSVC)
* TODO: write support, FAT32 support, read MBR and boot sector from file
- siminterface: added helper method hdimage_get_mode()
- moved hdimage related stuff from harddrv.cc to the hdimage code
- changed hdimage related names
the default Bochs method using the CTRL key and the middle mouse button there
are now the choices CTRL+F10 (like DOSBox) and CTRL+ALT (like QEMU).
* currently implemented in the X11 and SDL guis only
* TODO: porting to wxWidgets and Win32, documentation updates
to access non-static devices from static parameter handlers.
- removed USB hub register mechanism and use the new device pointer parameter
methods instead
* removed old win32 runtime config dialog since the property sheet isn't
compatible with the win32 ParamDialog
* reorganized runtime parameter lists (usb and cdrom setup in device init)
* renamed win32 StartMenuDialog() to MainMenuDialog() and some related name
changes
* added runtime support to the MainMenuDialog
- win32 start/runtime menu: set keyboard focus to the start/continue button
- win32paramdlg: SetParamList() now checks for list size changes to avoid crash
and value must be != "none" to enable dependents)
- set dependent list for floppy path (removed enable handler)
- win32paramdlg: added support for string parameter dependent lists
non-empty path
- floppy devtype parameter now uses CMOS values and drive type names
- related changes in the floppy code
- simplified floppy parameter handlers
- some floppy parameter label changes
- added enable handler for the floppy path parameter
- update dependent params after setting the dependent bitmap of enum parameter
- win32paramdlg: fixed setting parameters at runtime
- fixed win32 ParamDialog return value for close/cancel
- runtime dialog for the first cdrom drive on win32 is now created as a win32
ParamDialog (removed old cdrom1 dialog stuff)
- minor fixes in x11 string dialog for the cdrom path & status case
dependency list processing, enum parameter support)
- bx_param_enum_c: added argument for the default value of the dependent bitmaps
to set_dependent_list()
- bx_param_num_c: dependent_list is now a protected member of the object to make
it accessible for the enum specific dependency code
- config.cc: ata parameter dependency rewrite to avoid multiple dependencies
- config.cc: added missing dependency for SB16 parameter list
Bit64u value with the "enable bitmap" (e. g. bit #0 is the enable value for
the first item of the dependent list). TODO: use this feature in win32 and wx
dialogs
- ata drive type and loader hack parameters now using the enum dependent list
- avoid multiple dependencies in the SB16 config menu
- added file extension support for bx_param_filname_c
- fixed showing of tab control child lists
- added special disk menu for the win32 ParamDialog
- on win32 use the ParamDialog instead of textconfig submenus (TODO: gui dialog
replacement for the start menus
* USB runtime options moved to a new dynamic menu
* USB host controllers create own submenus in init()
* USB runtime parameter handlers simplified
* TODO: related changes in the wx and win32dialog code
