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'
time if requested (reduces code duplication)
- 'vpc' image mode: moved header check to a separate function that opens the
file, checks header/footer and returns disk type (if requested)
- implemented restore function for 'vpc' mode images
- gui: updated yes/no dialog message after saving state
- save/restore documentation update (TODO: developer doc)
fixed enabling of ADX extensions in generic CPUID when enabled through .bochsrc
Small code cleanups on the way to implementation of APIC Registers Virtualization features disclosed in recent Intel SDM rev043
- use the <option> tag for configure options
- use the <anchor> tag for internal links into lists and tables
- some other updates related to configure options
- ported Qemu block driver (written by Alex Beregszaszi and Kevin Wolf)
- added helper functions bx_read_image() and bx_write_image()
- TODO: use helper function for the other disk image modes
