<b>Bochs 1.2.1</b> (June 12, 2001):
Bochs 1.2.1 is a bugfix release based on version 1.2. Bochs 1.2 includes
usability improvements such as improved control over error handling, an
interactive disk image creator, and features including dual hard drive support,
multiple processor emulation (SMP), and VNC remote viewer mode.

We now have an <a href="tmp/bochs-20010606.ppc.rpm">RPM for Linux on PowerPC</a>, which was produced from a CVS
snapshot on 6/6/2001. This is NOT the same as the 1.2 release, but it
is very close. Thanks to Anders Nielsen for working through the
RPM build process.

<B>BOCHS SOURCE</B><BR>
Because Bochs is a cross-platform application, it is
distributed as source code in a TAR file. The primary file to download contains
the Bochs sources, documentation, and the custom BIOS file. If you are using a
UNIX platform, this is all you need. For Windows or Mac, because you cannot run
the configure script on your machine to generate Makefiles, you will also need
to grab a package of Makefiles, which are distributed separately.

Snapshot</b></font><BR><BR>
NOTE: As of June 15, snapshots should update nightly again. However
we can no longer generate makefiles on Source Forge as we did before.
Bryce is trying to get this working by generating makefiles
offsite and then copying them here.

<b>CVS Snapshot:</b>
Bochs, like many other open source projects, uses CVS (Concurrent Version
System) to keep track of source code. Unlike the current release, the
CVS version of the sources contains everything the developers have written
to this date, and it can change daily (or even hourly). As a result, the
CVS version of Bochs will have more features and bug fixes than the release,
but also it may be somewhat less stable. You can decide if you prefer to go
exploring and try out our newest code, or stick with the better-tested
release. Since the CVS sources are always in motion, we take a snapshot each
night at some late hour after most developers should be in bed.

<!--#include virtual="cvs-snapshot/bochs-snapshot-links.html" -->
The CVS snapshots are provided as a convenience only. Of course, you could
also get the same information using CVS itself. Some of the benefits of
using CVS directly are: you can get any release or version, view the log
messages that say what files were changed, and make patches very easily
with "cvs diff -u".
