(it was only present in bochsrc parser)
- floppy media type is now a runtime parameter (TODO: full media type support
needs some work in the floppy emulation code)
- floppy media type added to win32 floppy dialog
number of steps to do, the step rate time and the date rate
- the option floppy_command_delay is obsolete now, since all floppy delays are
based on the hardware specs. The usage of this option caused a warning now.
optromimage. You can load up to 4 arbitrary binary images into RAM.
I didn't do any checking on the addresses, so it's up to you to make
sure they don't collide with anything else. Should only be used for
placing files into standard RAM.

- PCI base address register mechanism now leaves the flags untouched
- missing reset of pnic options added
- cmos image options renamed
- new cmos option controls the usage of the RTC values from image
- report time0 in use after handling the cmos image stuff
- MSVC warning fixed
the shortcut script .conf.win32-vcpp
- updated list of include files for the gui directory in both workspaces
- added check for BX_WITH_NOGUI in nogui.cc (needed for MSVC)

dummy interface are now disabled if the extension isn't set to "vbe"
- writing charmap data in graphics mode now supported (SF patch #1059199)
- fixed set_ask_format() for the mouse type option
- ne2k and sb16 config lines now support the parameter "enabled=0|1"

- network configuration divided in two menus / groupboxes
- ips setting now belongs to the clock menu / dialog
- wx.cc: center status bar items (wxMSW port only)
- wxmain.cc: obsolete stuff removed
code. Up to 3 boot drives are supported now. TODO: new boot dialog for wx.
- config.cc: missing ask formats for enum parameters added
- wxdialog.cc: tab window now uses the label instead of the ask format if defined
data written to the port and where to get the data read from it. Available
modes are 'null' (no input/output), 'file' (output to a file specified as
the 'dev' parameter), 'term' (serial terminal) and 'raw' (use the real serial
port - under construction for win32).
- descriptions for serial and parallel options in bochsrc sample updated
* up to 5 slots can be specified with the 'i440fxsupport' config option
* the pci slot number are hardwired to pci device numbers
* the 'devfunc' value is returned the calling device (useful for multi-function
devices)
* the core of the i440FX chipset is hardwired to pci device 1 + 2; usb is still
optional and appears at device 1, function 2
- ne2k: enable pci features if connected to a pci slot
- ne2k: asic data port supports 32-bit access if ne2k-pci is active
- pci2isa: improved error messages for ELCR1 and ELCR2
- textconfig runtime menu: some options moved to submenu "Misc runtime options"
- bx_param_c: variable group_name and methods set_group() / get_group() added
- bx_list_c: new flag SHOW_GROUP_NAME added (used for SB16 options in runtime menu)
be used instead of a simple text control (implemented in wx)
- the new flag USE_SPIN_CONTROL is used by the memory size and the irq parameters
- special bx_list_c for the "Other options" menu in the wx configuration added
available at runtime
- wx: 'runtime' flag added to ParamDialog. If this flag is set, all options
with the flag 'runtime_param' clear will be disabled.
- only the runtime options for cdrom's are now enabled in the ATA dialogs at runtime
- the options 'keyboard paste delay', 'mouse' and 'vga update interval' are now
available at runtime
- wxdialog.h: unnecessary comments removed
- new bx_list_c for keyboard options (used in wx, TODO in textconfig)
- new flag USE_BOX_TITLE controls the usage of the list name for the group box label
- wxdialog.cc: unused variable removed
- pit: and time0: options are still supported but deprecated
- warn when parsing deprecated directives
- fix wrong number of ata_device_translation_names
- still to do:
- setting time0 to utc is not yet supported
- the man page, user guide and .bochsrc still need to be updated
with the new options
- add handlers called when a parameter is enabled or disabled.
This is useful for parameter dependent on another, that may
not wish to be enabled when its father parameter is enabled.
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.
