- embedding combined manifest makes BOCHS.EXE usable
- list of DLL plugins now depends on the pci and debugger options
- 'make clean' now removes the generated manifest files
- renamed variable for external rules
- documentation update
required an external binary and it couldn't be ported to Windows. Now the new
builtin and portable slirp support based on Qemu's implementation is almost
stable and all the 'vnet' DHCP and TFTP features have been ported to the new
slirp module.
TODO: rename all the "slirp_new" stuff to "slirp"
- bx_param_string_c method isempty() didn't work for raw byte strings. Now using
it to check whether or not the current value matches the initial one. The
parameter handling of the network adapters now use this method to check if
the MAC address is already initialized to avoid incorrect BX_ERRORs.
- small documentation update
- in wx we had two logfunctions for the siminterface (removed duplicate init)
- renamed siminterface prefix to "SIM"
- moved variable "pluginlog" to the plugin interface
- fixed / removed some forward declarations
In convert/resize mode a backup can be created if the new file name
is not specified or the same as the source file name. In commit mode
both base image and redolog file are affected by the backup switch.
Added Linux specific file copy code using '/bin/cp'.
- added support to use 'concat' and 'dll' mode images as convert source.
A prefix ("concat:" or "dll:") must be added to the path since autodetection
doesn't work for these modes.
- create: fixed virtual disk size calculation based on C/H/S
- convert / resize (interactive mode): use original filename as the template for
the new one if not specified on the command line
- removed SB16 section in the user doc and partly update the developer doc
- some additions in the section "Using sound"
- TODO: update the sound output classes stuff in the developer doc
- added new gui "vncsrv" and new bochsrc options "sound" and "speaker"
- related changes in the "sb16" and "es1370" descriptions
- started update of the SB16 documentation
- changed the order of some bochsrc options
- TODO #1: sync the order of bochsrc options in all files
- TODO #2: replace SB16 section by a new one (e.g. "Using sound")
- TODO #2: update SB16 stuff in the developer doc
- TODO: rewrite bximage / bxcommit stuff and use hdimage C++ classes to support
more commit / conversion types and to get rid of this code duplication.
- moved 'user_shortcut' option to the keyboard option
- added new bx_param_c option value BOCHSRC_HIDDEN for parameters that should
only be available in the config interface. The new bochsrc option save and
parser function skip parameters with this flag set. This is useful for
parameters that will be set from the parser in a different way.
- save keyboard bochsrc line using the parameter list directly
- parse keyboard bochsrc options (except 'keymap') using the parameter list
- user shortcut: old-style syntax has already been removed
- increased minimum value for the keyboard's 'serial_delay'
