</h2>

|
|
This is a list of changes which are in the CVS tree but not in the latest
|
|
release (1.1.2 bugfix3).
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> implement diskd (second hard drive). You cannot have both a diskd and a cdromd.
|
|
<li> latest bios version is now BIOS-bochs-2001_0517. This bios is required to use two hard disks.
|
|
<li> enable newharddrivesupport by default. This was needed for ATAPI CDs, disks larger than 528MB, and maybe other things. It seemed like every time I had a wierd disk detection problem, it was because I had forgotten newharddrivesupport.
|
|
<li> add --with-term GUI mode. uses text mode display only
|
|
<li> add --enable-split-hd. Split hard drive mode allows several partial disk image files (e.g. win95-1, win95-2, win95-3) to be treated as one large file, so that you can store each partition in a separate file, if you get the file sizes to match the partition table boundaries. Split hard disk patch requires a new rombios, BIOS-bochs-2001_0509.
|
|
<li> patches sitting in patches subdirectory:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> patches/patch.lba. we have a patch to add LBA support, which Bryce grabbed from the plex86 source tree. I know that it compiles. But can someone suggest how to test it?
|
|
<li> patches/patch.4meg-pages. Again, we just need a test case. Once we can test it, I'll put it in.
|
|
<li> patches/patch.goswin-changes. These are diffs against 3/25/2000, and not all of them apply anymore because of our bug fixes.
|
|
</ul>
|

</ul>

There is also one active branch in addition to the main branch, called
|
|
BRANCH-smp-bochs. The SMP bochs branch allows Bochs to simulate a multiple
|
|
processor machine. It does NOT make Bochs perform better or run in different
|
|
CPUs on a real SMP machine. This branch will be integrated into the main
|
|
source tree in the near future. It has not been tested much since
|
|
REL-smpbochs-04-03-2001, but has most of the same bug fixes and features that
|
|
the main branch had on 5/8/2001. Est. time frame to merge: next weekend 5/20.
