command line debugger and debugger gui. Improved gui debugger section a
little bit. TODO: use some parts of docs-html/enh_dbg_user_man.txt and
remove this file when ready.
- Added version check and reinstall page based on NSIS example.
- Since the registry keys changed with each Bochs version, it is not possible
to detect all of them. Added special code to make this possible for previous
version 2.6.9.
- Updated tested NSIS version number in docs.
- Get rid of VER_STRING since it's the same as VERSION
- Add new defines VER_MAJOR, VER_MINOR, VER_PATCH and VER_SVN and use them for
the version number on Windows.
- TODO: Add the capability to detect installed version to the Windows installer.
- Simplified register writes from CMDFIFO using new methods in the new classes.
- Started work on reset() and continued work on save/restore support.
- Mention the Banshee model in the Bochs documentation.
Here is his original comment:
I have made several improvements in the debugger.
I have fixed several issues with proper handling of 64-bit addresses, and added support for 64 bit symbols.
I also have added several symbol lookups.
- Voodoo: Use the VGA/Cirrus timers to drive the gui screen update.
The vertical retrace emulation is still driven by a separate timer.
- VGA/Cirrus: Since we are using the virtual timer, we also have to read
time_usec() from it.
- vgacore: removed unused timer methods.
- Added warnings for currently not maintained features in the configure script,
the bochsrc sample and the user doc.
- Removed detection of deprecated bochsrc options "i440fxsupport" and
"vga_update_interval".
- Legacy bochsrc option "user_shortcut" is now deprecated.
- Removed deprecated configure option --enable-misaligned-sse from user doc.
- Updated some TODO items.
The format of the 'ethdev' string must be 'host:port' to use this feature.
Using the port number only for connecting 'bxhub' on the same machine is still
supported.
- The 'vnet' module now uses the 'script' parameter for an alternative log
file name.
- Renamed log file names in some networking modules (replaced 'ne2k' by a name
related to the module name).
- Documentation updates (networking stuff and cmosimage).
Prepared "biosdetect" option in the harddrv code.
TODO #1: Add support for a comma-separated list of BIOS options.
TODO #2: Implement support for at least "biosdetect=none" in the Bochs BIOS.
