implementing disk image support with an external C++ class. With the new code
it's now easier to implement support for additional disk images formats, so we
don't need the old stub anymore.
TODO #1; Add some missing HID key codes.
TODO #2: Add key event queue to avoid losing events.
TODO #3: Unify keyboard and keypad code.
TODO #4: Support multiple non-modifier keys pressed at the same time.
TODO #5: Share keyboard indicators with the legacy PS/2 keyboard.
The latest release is from 2001 and it will not work on modern Linux systems.
Parts of the SVGALib code have been moved to the Linux kernel and the X11 and
SDL libraries are using it as a video driver.
- Now cursor can appear in two different modes (if supported by terminal)
- Simplified text cursor handling.
- Show a status bar if terminal has enough lines for it. Added "show IPS" output
there unless display library option "hideIPS" is used.
- 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.
- Enable packet logging in text format if file name is specified with the
"script" parameter.
- Don't start RX timer if vnet server returns 0.
- Added TCP header structure for future extensions.
be specified as a USB port option (e.g. 'sect_size:1024'). The values 512, 1024
and 4096 are supported. If not specified, it defaults to 512.
TODO: ATA disk (harddrv code), BIOS, bximage.
- 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.
- 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.
latest BIOS images 32-bit and even 64-bit guest OS's are known to boot inside
of Bochs without hacking. This legacy hack could be removed after next release
if nobody complains.
- Using bochsrc option "load32bitOSImage" now causes a warning. It is not
maintained yet, not documented and we don't whether it is used or not.
I guess it was designed to boot a real 32-bit guest OS when the Bochs BIOS
wasn't able to do it.
- Added config option --enable-busmouse to all shortcut scripts. We have two
usable models present now (tested with Win95).
- 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).
external program 'bxhub' (simulating a two port ethernet hub). It is based on
an old SF patch and it has been updated and extended:
- Windows support (tested with MinGW/MSYS and MSVC nmake).
- Command line arguments for 'bxhub' (base port number, MAC address, TFTP).
- Added support for DHCP, TFTP, ARP and ICMP echo (ping). It uses parts of the
code for the 'vnet' module with some additions from the former "slirp backend".
- TODO: code cleanup to reduce duplication, rewrite of the networking plugins
stuff similar to the work done with the sound drivers.
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.
- Added new logfunctions method warn() similar to ask().
- Added new siminterface method log_warn() similar to log_ask().
- Modified sdl2, wx and win32 ask dialog to make it usable for warnings.
- On X11 use the new message box dialog to display warnings.
- Some related changes in the logio and siminterface code.
by Ben Lunt. To connect a USB floppy you can use the 'floppy' device with the
path to the image separated with a colon. VVFAT is also supported.
FIXME: The device detection fails on some recent Linux distributions.
FIXME: Only 1.44M media format is currently supported.
TODO: Media change without disconnect is not implemented yet.
