- installation instructions for FreeDOS Beta 8 added
- sb16 section: description of SB16CTRL.EXE improved
- description of the user shortcut feature updated
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.
- FAQ - sound question: added FreeBSD to the list of supported platforms
- list of configure shortcut files updated
- compiling footnote: file locations updated
- replaced reference to sound.html (old docs) by a reference to the
"sb16-emulation" section
- compiling instructions for BeOS updated
- keyboard mapping: supported guis added
- move configure options section right after Standard Compile. It
was buried at the end of the section and hard to find before.
- fix section issue for sb16
- fix typo in pit description
with scp and then log in and gunzip it on the shell server. This speeds
up "make webinst" quite a bit.
- add "make dl_docs" which downloads a bochsdoc.tar.gz from the web site.
This will be used to grab the rendered documentation for platforms that
do not have docbook tools. (Most don't.)
- stop installing "README" because depending on where you put it, it can
overwrite the main README.
authors. If someone has contributed a section, we would give them credit in
that section. If they write enough sections, we can take out the
section-by-section credits and list them as an author.
make install it will build the docbook documentation and install it
into $(prefix)/share/doc/bochs. If it is not specified, then it will
be enabled only if the program "docbook2html" is found in your path.
- this completes [ 652957 ] install docbook docs instead of HTML
Modified Files:
Makefile.in configure configure.in doc/docbook/Makefile.in
- only rebuild docbook stuff when the source is newer
- add install target
- allow $SFUSER environment variable to define the sf username, instead of
hardcoding the user->sfuser translations in the makefile.
- now alldocs is called index.html
- add dist-clean target
- 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.

- it used to list the options that were enabled in .conf.win32-vcpp, but I
removed it. It was out of date, and it's unlikely to stay in sync
with the file even if I fix it now.
- add tip section about serial port (no content yet)
- add tip section on how to enter special key combination
- add diclaimer in Windows NT 4.0 section
- add comment about installing and running Windows NT 4.0
- add comment about installing Windows XP
- descripton of bochsrc option "user_shortcut" updated
- bios names in the bochsrc sample updated
- FAQ question: cdrom is supported on BeOS, too
- the default for the cdrom support is "yes"
- the default for the e9 hack is "yes"
- serial port UART name is 16450
- fixed a typo (PPC)
This information was quite obsolete. Anything useful in here should be
merged into the documentation some day. It certainly should not be
sitting in the main directory where it might confuse people.

before).
by default.
Rearranged the output to make the output instructions always appear in
the same column, which makes them considerably easier to read.
I have *not* done the physical address display changes -- plan to do
that separately.
Changed "License" to "Bochs License"
Added "Third Party License" section, taken from old docs.
Authored "Will it Work for Me?" section according to instructions in user.dbk comments.
"bx_bool" which is always defined as Bit32u on all platforms. In Carbon
specific code, Boolean is still used because the Carbon header files
define it to unsigned char.
- this fixes bug [ 623152 ] MacOSX: Triple Exception Booting win95.
The bug was that some code in Bochs depends on Boolean to be a
32 bit value. (This should be fixed, but I don't know all the places
where it needs to be fixed yet.) Because Carbon defined Boolean as
an unsigned char, Bochs just followed along and used the unsigned char
definition to avoid compile problems. This exposed the dependency
on 32 bit Boolean on MacOS X only and led to major simulation problems,
that could only be reproduced and debugged on that platform.
- On the mailing list we debated whether to make all Booleans into "bool" or
our own type. I chose bx_bool for several reasons.
1. Unlike C++'s bool, we can guarantee that bx_bool is the same size on all
platforms, which makes it much less likely to have more platform-specific
simulation differences in the future. (I spent hours on a borrowed
MacOSX machine chasing bug 618388 before discovering that different sized
Booleans were the problem, and I don't want to repeat that.)
2. We still have at least one dependency on 32 bit Booleans which must be
fixed some time, but I don't want to risk introducing new bugs into the
simulation just before the 2.0 release.

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
script can detect platforms, the standard "configure&&make" should
work on all platforms (that's the goal at least). I mention
the .conf.* script for each platform as well, even though it is no
longer required.
Here are the patches (without the serial name fix). Let me know if you want
me to change that. Oh, FYI, my changes also open up the com1 terminal in raw
mode, which makes the emulation much more accurate. You'll also notice that
I added infrastructure for com2->4 in the option parsing. I didn't add it to
the serial code, as I think a bunch of things need to be untangled before
that can work.
