It's been nearly one year since the last stable release :
<ul>
<li>We have improved
the accuracy of the simulation in many ways, notably in the cpu, fpu, and
vga areas.
<li>3DNow! and PNI instructions are now supported, and Bochs
includes a new disassembler that supports all IA-32 instruction sets.
<li>On the I/O devices side, Bochs now provides experimental PCI VGA and USB
cards, 16550A uarts and gameport emulation.
<li>New types of disk image can be used as harddisks : stackable, commitable or growing. Bochs can also
use VMWare 3 cow disk images.
<li>Sdl, x11, win32 and wxwindows display libraries now support
15, 16, 24 and 32 bpp color depth, and the x11 vga font is not needed
any more.
</ul>
Note that some configuration file options have been deprectated :
please update these options to the new syntax, as they're likely to be
removed in future releases.

Because Bochs is a cross-platform application, it can be compiled for
many platforms in addition to the ones for which binaries are provided.
If your platform can run the configure script, you can use the tarball.
If you're running Linux and your system can read RPMs, you can
build Bochs using a source RPM. If you're compiling for Win32 with
Microsoft VC++, the ZIP file contains sources that have already been
configured for you so you can go directly to the compile step. For
detailed compile instructions see the

<b>Bochs 2.0.1</b> (January 4, 2003)
Version 2.0.1 is a bugfix version based on 2.0. Among other things, this
version fixes some compile problems, the text mode colors, an FPU bug, and the
problems with saving a corrupt configuration file.

<b>Bochs 2.0</b> (December 21, 2002):
It's been a busy 6 months since our previous release! Bochs is now about twice
as fast as version 1.4.1. Also, we can now emulate MMX, SSE/SSE2, and even AMD
x86-64 instructions if you turn on the appropriate configure options. We also
added two new graphical interfaces, SVGALIB and wxWindows. The wxWindows
interface lets you edit all bochsrc options in a graphical form. Macintosh
users will be happy to find binaries for MacOSX and MacOS9. Also we now
support plugins for several platforms and cleaned up and improved the
documentation.

<b>Bochs 1.4.1</b> (June 23, 2002):
Bochs 1.4.1 is the latest release of Bochs. This version
is a maintenence release of the Bochs 1.4.x series, which premiered in Spring 2002.
The 1.4.x series delivers features that
many people have been wishing for: booting from a CDROM, VESA BIOS Extensions,
improved networking, keyboard mapping for non-US keyboards, and a working
serial port. You'll notice several new buttons on the GUI, copy, paste, and
snapshot, which let you copy text between the system clipboard and the Bochs
screen. And we have a new cross-platform interface using a library called SDL
(Simple DirectMedia Layer). Give it a spin!

You can download any release since March 2001 on the

Snapshot</b></font><BR><BR>
<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.
<BR><BR>
<!--#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".
