- Added special mode to all plugin entry functions that returns the plugin type.
- The plugins search function now temporarily loads all available plugins and
reads the plugin type using the new mode PLUGIN_PROBE.
- Added "loadtype" to the plugin structure to store the type used for plugin
loading (currently only the voodoo plugin provides two types).
module code. Sound driver names are now stored as string constants instead
of hardcoded values. Available modules are detected at Bochs startup and stored
in a string array before initializing options. In the plugins case available
modules are read from the plugins list. If plugins are off, the registry of
bx_sound_lowlevel_c is used. Related changes similar to the hdimage and
network modifications.
handling. Networking module names are now stored as string constants instead of
hardcoded values. Available modules are detected at Bochs startup and stored in
a string array before initializing options. In the plugins case available
modules are read from the plugins list. If plugins are off, the eth_locator_c
registry is used. Related changes in all parts of Bochs that need the
networking stuff.
TODO #1: Sound drivers could be handled in a similar way.
- bx_shadow_bool_c: removed unused bitnum feature and changed data type.
- Changed return type of memory handlers to bool.
- Modified virtual timer, PIC and PIT code.
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).
- Added support for loading all plugins of one type using wildcard "*".
- Unloading no longer removes the plugin object. Now the member "loaded" is
set to 0 and the type of a device plugin is reset.
- Added plugin_cleanup() function to remove plugin objects on Bochs exit.
- Some other related cleanups in the plugins code.
- Added options "net" for the IP address space and "ftp" for the FTP server.
- Added some sanity checks for the IP address configuration.
- Added sample config file.
- Added new config file options "host", "dns" and "dhcpstart" (similar to slirp).
- modified bx_vnet_pktmover_c class to be compatible with other modules.
- On TFTP RRQ check file presence directly (fixes iPXE boot).
- Moved server ID and lease time options to the top of the DHCP reply.
- Increase TFTP buffer size as expected by iPXE.
- TODO: The vnet module still has boot file name hardcoded.
The 'vnet' networking module now uses 192.168.10.3 and bxhub is setting up the
slirp compatible IP 10.0.2.4 for additional services. Added host name "vnet-ftp"
in the DNS code to translate it to the new IP address.
- FTP: handle the hidden flag on Windows the same way as on other platforms.
- TCP/IP: fixed some gcc 9 warnings (checked with Cygwin gcc 9.3).
- DHCP: changed the way to set up the default client IPv4 address.
- Reset FTP session state in case of login failure.
- Improved FTP server status output.
- Added special error messages for 2 unimplemented commands.
- Updated vnet / socket / slirp networking module infos in source and docs.
- Major rewrite of the FTP command handling.
- The LIST command now supports an argument (absolute or relative path).
- Added NLST command (similar to LIST, but file / directory names only).
- The MKD and RMD commands now support absolute paths.
- FTP: added support for renaming file, create and remove directory.
- FTP: added FTP server status report and fixed SYST reply.
- bxhub fix: send all pending packets one after the other.
- TCP fix: when connecting, return default MSS option value 1460.
- TCP fix: handle the case when FIN is set in final data packet.
for the whole file, now the buffer has maximum TCP window size and the file is
read on demand. The directory list is now written to a temporary file that can
be sent with the new code.
- Skip special TELNET sequence required for transfer abort to make it work.
- On FTP quit, unregister data port and free data buffer if necessary.
- Some other small FTP code cleanups.
- TCP: If a connection is active, forward reset to the service handler.
- FTP: Added support to retrieve the file size.
- FTP: Handle the "file not found" case in RETR and SIZE code.
- FTP: Fixed the logout process.
