- create config parameters for USB depending of the defined number of ports
- removed obsolete comment
- bx_param_num_c flag USE_SPIN_CONTROL now available for all config interfaces
* ported the basic functionality of the wx ParamDialog to win32
* moved AskFilename() function to the new file
* win32ParamDialog() now used for the external USB hub (if present)
* TODO: with some extensions it might be possible to use it for all runtime
dialogs and to implement a gui replacement for the textconfig start menu
* 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
* use default value for screen width if update() is called before VGABIOS init
* set minimum value for vga_update_interval to 40000 (default value: 50000)
* no longer accept ips values smaller than BX_MIN_IPS and default value
changed to 4000000
* 'usb_uhci' bochsrc option replaces 'usb1'
* minor changes in the USB code
* removed old VBE i/o port registration (they were incompatible with USB)
* updated FSF address
- fixed saving user plugin options
* initialize plugin system before parsing bochsrc and command line
* pass previous value to bx_param_string_c handler
* load / unload plugin in bx_param_string_handler()
* handle user plugins after optional ones in plugin device init, reset and
save/restore functions
* added new siminterface method unregister_user_option()
* removed first version of config option handling for user plugins
* added new parameter subtree for user-defined options
* added new bx_list_c method remove()
* removed unused bx_devmodel_c method init_mem()
* set initial value for MAC address after setting RAW_BYTES option (no space
for trailing null byte when using strncpy)
* length of initial string should not be larger than maxsize
* reset() method now uses set(initial_val)
* cut model string on boot screen if larger than 36 characters to make one
"ata" message fit in one line
* config parameter for model string needs one more byte
* harddrive: terminate model string with null
* "pipe-server" (win32 only): It makes bochs a named pipe server so other
application can communicate with it using pipes API. Useful e.g. for remote
kernel debugging.
* "pipe-client" (win32 only)
* "socket-server": for the use with gdb
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
- removed obsolete structures and members from the USB code
- removed mouse type 'usb' (USB mouse and tablet override selected mouse type
when connected)
- user doc: mention vmware 4 disk image support
string. This is better for devices that need to know all it's options when
connecting to the port. Device name and option should be separated with a
colon. The USB device 'disk' now uses this format ('disk:usbdisk.img).
- the pciusb plugin must be linked with cdrom.o
