-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Apr 12 17:15:27 UTC 2024 - John Paul Adrian Glaubitz <adrian.glaubitz@suse.com>

- Update to 3.8:
- General
- added WIC64 support for C64,C128,SCPU64,VIC20
- virtual device (host directory) fixes (Scratch command correctly returns
number of scratched files, Rename command produces "file exists" error if the
destination file exists)
- added video capture in ZMBV format. This will produce lossless videos at correct
emulated FPS.
- the old FFMPEG support was deprecated and is disabled by default. New experimental
code was added that will work with external ffmpeg executable instead.
- reSID: fixed a Noise Init problem
- reSID: filter tweaks
- reSID: The 6581 saw+pulse waveform was wrong
- reSID: tweak shift register reset time for 6581
- reSID: 8580 Filter ringing fix
- reSID: 6581 filters: allow negative values for kVg-Vx
- made raw printer driver pass through all bytes 1:1
- Tape: changed default zero-gap delay from the rather weird (and way too large)
value 20000 to the more sane 2500 which MTAP uses
- RS232: handle RI line in IP232 (requires updated tcpser, see
â€‹https://github.com/go4retro/tcpser/pull/24.
- Add option to invert the RI line. This should help to make some more obscure
BBS programs work
- RS232: removed undocumented feature to use unix domain sockets when the first
character of a rs232 device is a pipe character, and instead used pipes, like
it will be done on windows too
- Drives: fixed 1571CR emulation
- Drives: allow up to 83 tracks for 3.5inch mechs
- Drives: fixed clock rollover in rotation code
- REU: fixed DMA access to C64 RAM at $00/$01
- Added PaperclipE, PaperclipSC, and Paperclip2 dongle support.
- Added woj userport joystick adapter emulation.
- provide fake sid hooks so hardsid can be used when fastsid is disabled
- Printer: new reworked emulation handles various CBM Printers: 2022, 4023, 8023,
MPS801, MPS801, MPS803
- Printer: tweaked MPS page height, now allows print shop to print a greetings
card on a single page.
- Printer: do not produce any output for non-printable codes
- Printer: when using the graphic output driver, only produce a new file when
actually doing a formfeed.
- Build the list of available palette files at runtime, scan system path/dirs as
needed. Also read extra info from the .vpl files. New palettes can now be just
dropped into the data dir and they will appear in the UIs.
- allow color controls to be used with external palette and when no crt emulation
is active.
- Added more realistic vicii color ram init code.
- CIA: shiftregister fixes
- CIA: fixed ICR timing/behaviour (This fixes the dd0dtest from the testbench)
- Support for ISA/PCI devices that were accessed via direct I/O was removed,
since this would not work in any sane modern OS anymore. The affected devices
are: parsid (windows), ssi2001 (all)
- Z80: OUT, OUTD, OUTI, OTIR, OTDR instruction fixes
- Fixed -initbreak reset so that the first instruction doesn't run

- Changes in Vice 3.7
=====================

-- general
----------
- From now on VICE will write its version into the config file and show a
warning message when using a config file from a different version.
- The binary monitor interface is stable now. Examples of projects using it:
- https://github.com/GeorgRottensteiner/C64Studio
- https://github.com/MihaMarkic/vice-bridge-net
- https://github.com/Sakrac/IceBroLite
- https://github.com/empathicqubit/vscode-cc65-debugger
- https://github.com/rolandshacks/vs64
- Added Debian packages of development builds of the SDL2 and Gtk3 UIs and the
headless build (amd64 only).
You can find bleeding edge development builds on github:
https://github.com/VICE-Team/svn-mirror/releases
Whenever you stumble about a bug, please try with the latest development build
first - perhaps we already fixed it :)
- Removed all kernal patching and load different ROM files instead. This is
easier to handle and more logical anyway :)
- Renamed all included ROM files to use a more elaborate naming scheme, for
example as in "kernal-901227-01.bin".
Unfortunately not all included files could be identified yet - if you have
related ROM dumps around yourself, please take your time to compare against
the following, and let us know if you can identify one of these files:
- C128 ROMs: kernalfi, kernalfr, kernalit, kernalno
- Printer ROMs: mps801.bin, mps803.bin, nl10.bin
- PET ROMs: chargen.de
(Wanted in all cases is what the markings on the actual chip read)
- CRT emulation improvements:
- uses measured (different) color coordinates for odd/even lines when possible
- added option for U-only delay line (1084 style)
- More realistic handling of the case when two paddles are selected at the same
time.
- Keyboard handling was rewritten / fixed
- The case when two host keys are mapped to different CBM keys with different
modifiers is handled differently (correctly) now, so some old keymap(s) may
expose detail errors as a result - please report them!
- Fixed Shiftlock/Capslock mapping
- All extra keys that are not in the regular matrix are handled in generic
code now.
- used by C128 40/80 and CAPS keys, Restore
- extra keys can operate in "non locking" mode
- More realistic behaviour of the virtual drive
- always return 'files scratched' (instead of 'file not found'), even if the
file does not exist
- More realistic behaviour when mounting images:
- When attaching a d64 image to a 1571 drive, create an 'unformatted' image for
the second side.
- Create empty tracks for non existing tracks also when mounting gcr images
- SID fixes:
- use a few more bits for better accuracy when calculating the 8580 filter
DAC values.
- fix filter ringing/self oscillating with 6581 and 8580
- CIA fixes:
- Improved the CIA shift register.
- Fix the case when pb changes value after changing the control bits for
pb/pb7 output. Fixes the turn disk space detection of the 'Love' demo.
- Add SPT (Stupid Pet Tricks) userport joystick adapter emulation.
- Fixed use of SO_REUSEPORT on server sockets - this allowed multiple VICE
instances to bind to the same port, with an indeterminant one receiving each
incoming connection. Now uses SO_REUSEADDR instead, which allows use of a
port that remains in the TIME_WAIT state after a previous process closed,
but does not allow use of a port that is still in active use.
- Add DragonFly BSD support.
- Remove Android support.

speakers on real hardware behave quite different in how much they "muffle"
the sound.
- Fixed and document PET layout and US/DE keymaps.
- Added pictures of the PET layout and keymap (graphical+business,

Sat Feb 26 19:37:18 UTC 2022 - Carsten Ziepke <kieltux@gmail.com>

- Update to 3.6.1:
- This is a service release which fixes some regressions and
annoyances reported by our users after the 3.6 release.
- General:
- Fixed sound buffer underrun behaviour, it will now cause a small glitch and
no longer disable sound or flood the log with warnings.
- Do not write the log to a file instead of stdout when stdout is already
redirected to a file or pipe, so we can do just that on the shell.
- At exit, put quotes around parameters of the regenerated command line options
so eg filenames with spaces in them will not break it.
- Suppress warnings about duplicated labels when playing back monitor commands
to make mrsid a happy bunny.
- For cartridges that contain RAM that can be loaded from (and saved to) a file,
do not init RAM on powerup if backed up by a file (mimic battery backup).
- Do not clear the keyboard input when a 'reset' hotkey was pressed. this allows
to "hold" keys when pressing reset, for example "run/stop" when resetting FC3.
Note that this still is limited by various other things, like the keyboard
mapping and keys reserved by your window manager.
- FFMPEG recordings now default to mp4/h264/AAC instead of some divx avi bullshit.
- On smart attach automatically change the drive type also when not autostarting.
- In some cases the wrong drive was selected automatically on smart attach.
- Fixed sampler file loading.
- Build system:
- Version x.y.0 builds will now generate a version number of x.y (no .0).
Additionally, support for semver style build labels has been added, allowing
versions such as 3.6-beta, 3.6.1-beta, etc.
- Make configure check for *both* avresample and swresample, prefer swresample.
- C64 fixes:
- Added belgian/dutch keymap provided by sorex.
- Added support for the 21sec backup parallel cable.
- Set default ram size for ramlink to 16mb, enable it on ROM attach.
- Fix ramlink API calls for slot0, add missing ROM image setting to UIs.
- C128 fixes:
- Various MMU mapping fixes.
- GTK3 fixes:
- Tracked down and helped fixing an upstream GTK bug that made VICE crash on any
keypress under certain conditions, making VICE work again for Jazzcat :)
- Fixed default joystick/gamecontroller mappings on Windows/Linux/MacOS.
- Fixed mapping logic to handle multiple events and duplicate mappings correctly.
- Allow negative coordinates for windows, this should fix restoring the window
position that was broken on some multi-monitor setups.
- Monitor: remember and restore VTE window size and position.
- Make the monitor window "remember" its position and size between invocations.
- Allow setting the position and size via command line, using `-monitorxpos`,
`-monitorypos`, `-monitorwidth` and `-monitorheight`.
- Position and size is saved along with the settings.
- Made joystick/control port tabs only show the extra ports when they are
available.
- Mouse pointer changes shape when hovering over clickable status bar items.
- CPU speed / FPS settings added to the main menu.
- Correctly use the LED colors for drives > 8.
- Fixed drive/tap popup menu labels, only display "#8:0" etc if the drive is a
dual drive device in the context menus and directory popup menus. Only show
"Directory of tape #1/#2" in xpet, show "Directory of tape" in other emulators.
- Added statusbar led for shiftlock.
- Added clickable 40/80colums LED to x128.
- Added clickable LED for the CAPS aka DIN/ASCII key in x128.
- Properly update both keyboard debugging widgets on x128.
- Don't grey-out sound setting widgets when sound is disabled, so configuration
can be changed before enabling sound again.
- Various fixes related to the new hotkeys feature:
- Allow for a few more modifiers when setting hotkeys.
- Filter certain modifiers that are only getting in the way (eg numlock).
- Remove old hotkey from the table when redefining.
- Make Return/Enter trigger Accept in the dialog, make Escape trigger Cancel.
- Only show actions that have a corresponding menu item.
- Use hardware keycodes to figure out the key that was pressed. fixes eg the
situation on macOS that hotkeys could not be defined because they produce
various symbols.
- SDL fixes:
- Fixed mapping logic to handle multiple events and duplicate mappings correctly.
- Run spec-cleaner

Sun Dec 26 07:46:42 UTC 2021 - Karol Sławiński <karol_slawinski@wp.pl>

-- Changes in Vice 3.6
=====================

We welcome to the team:

- June Tate-Gans who added the dual screen mode (for x128) to the SDL UI.

- Pablo Roldan aka durandal, who contributed improvements and fixes to the
RS-232 emulation.

-- general
----------

- Warp mode status will no longer be saved in config files.

- Increased autostart reliability.

- Changing host audio settings no longer resets the emulated sound chip.

- Added hardware flow control to the userport RS-232 emulation.

- Added selection of control lines behaviour for userport RS-232 emulation.

- Fixes to ACIA hardware flow control, DCD and DSR lines behaviour, register
reset values.

- (Re-)added tun/tap support for Ethernet emulation, including support for
"capabilites", so it can work without root/Administrator rights

- "Device Traps" and "True Drive Emulation" can now be selected per
drive/device.

- Various fixes related to keyboard mappings. For details please read
https://sourceforge.net/p/vice-emu/mailman/message/37380515/

- Fixed problems related to Caps-Lock and Shift-Lock emulation

- Added support for piping printer output and RS232 I/O through an external
executable on Windows.

- Fliplist (.vfl) support tweaked to be compatible with devices like sd2iec,
pi1541 and Turbo Chameleon. Fliplists in the old format can still be loaded,
newly created ones will always use the new format (see manual).

- Removed pointless "dither" column from palette files and -format.

- Some improvements in the 1520 plotter emulation.

- Extend images directly from 35 to 40 and then 42 tracks, as other sizes are
not used anywhere else in the world

- More realistic implementation of tape wobble.

- Fixed p64 wraparound.

- Added option to write out the raw data produced by reSID (for debugging).

- Made 48kHz the default for sound output, since that is what most modern stuff
uses natively.

- Log the random seed and added a commandline option to set a seed, useful to
reproduce things that depend on randomness.

- At exit log all resources with non default values, and a reconstructed
commandline, which should make it easier for people that are reporting bugs.

- when mounting Dxx GCR images, add a reasonable skew per track to make the
disk layout a bit more realistic

- Remove tearing in screenshots.

-- build system
---------------

- Remove linking to vice libraries for petcat and cartconv.

- All targets can now be built separately (e.g. 'make x64sc').

- Fixed building on cygwin.

- removed support for building with embedded ROMs

- Made the new 8580 filter implementation the default for configure.

-- Joystick fixes
-----------------

- New Superpad64 emulation.

joysticks from now on.

- Joystick adapters with only 1 port are mapped to the port they are attached
to.

- SIDcard joystick of the plus4 is now always mapped to extra joystick #4.

- New autofire button support.

- New virtual I/O simulation device for the joyport, allows pins to be changed
by the user from the monitor.

-- Userport fixes
-----------------

- Only one userport device can be attached to the userport at a time from now
on.

- New virtual I/O simulation device for the userport, allows pins to be changed
by the user from the monitor.

-- Tapeport fixes
-----------------

- Only one tapeport device can be attached at a time from now on.

-- C64 fixes
------------

- Added REX Ramfloppy loading & saving of the RAM contents.

- Added support for "Hucky's EPROM Cartridge", implemented as a variant of the

-- Changes in Vice 3.5
=======================

This release completes the transition to the new GTK3 based GUI and fixes a
bunch of long standing issues (see below).

We are looking for someone who can provide stable automatic nightly builds - for
this will work best on a Windows machine, or perhaps a Fedora server. We tried
our best to come up with a solution for Debian, but that didn't work out as
intended. If you think you can help in this area - please get in touch.

We welcome to the team:

empathicqubit - who wrote the new remote monitor binary interface

Roberto Muscedere aka OldWoman37 - who contributed the new Lt.Kernal, CMD-HD and
RAMlink emulations (C64 only)

-- general
----------

- Remove explicit support for OS/2, AmigaOS. These platforms should be able to
use the SDL port.

- VICE used to store its ROMs, keymaps etc into $PREFIX/lib[64]/vice, which
isn't correct. Now VICE installs its data into $PREFIX/share/vice, which
makes a lot more sense. The documentation location has changed as well, now
the documentation is installed in $PREFIX/share/doc/vice.
On Windows, the binaries and DLLs have been moved into /bin, according to the
requirements of GTK/GDK.

- Emulator timing is now directly driven by the host system audio device.
If sound emulation is disabled, timing is synchronized with the host clock.
As part of this change, the choice of sound synchronization method has been
removed.

- Emulation now occurs in blocks of time directly related to the sound fragment
size. Previously, emulation of an entire frame happened as quickly as possible
and then the host system would sleep until it is time to emulate the next
entire frame. This means that user input is now visible to the emulated
software with lower latency than before.

- Audio latency is much lower on all platforms, and new lower latency defaults
have been set. Users are encouraged to try using smaller fragment sizes and
experiment with finding the lowest stable buffer size on their system.

- Support for changing the emulator timing to target generating a specific number
of video frames per second. Useful for smooth PAL scrolling on a 50Hz CRT, and
also fun for playing games at 60fps to match a typical LCD screen refresh.

- The default behaviour on CPU JAM was changed to "continue" to better match
the behaviour of the real machines. Additionally a "CPU JAM" message will
be displayed in the status bar.

- A "quit emulator" option was added to the CPU JAM dialog

- The CPU JAM dialog now shows the number of the device whose CPU has crashed.

- Proper support for dual drives has been added

- Relative file support on the filesystem device

- Autostarting works from any drive (select the drive in the attach disk dialog)

- Added support for 2nd and 3rd joystick button (potx/poty), currently only via
keyboard and via unix joystick driver.

- Added mapping for the THEC64 joystick

- New LT.Kernal emulation

- New CMD-HD emulation

- New CMD RAM-Link emulation

- New D9090/60 emulation

- New icons for the applications.

- We now use proper binary prefixes for memory sizes.
Welcome in the 21st century!

- Recalculate the palette parameters when the videochip type changes, now we can
actually see the subtle color differences :)

- Emulate a switch present on some compatible datasettes (not the Commodore
ones). Turning the switch on makes the sound recorded on the tape audible.

- Fixed/improved "native" screenshots. It will now work with all videochips and
always generate "best effort" results.

- The emulators will look for the config file at an alternative location first,
before looking at the system wide location.
- for windows that is the location of the .exe files
- for Linux that is ~/.vicerc

- Fixed lightgun/pen emulation
- use poty instead of potx for trigger for magnum lightphaser and inkwell
lightpen
- tweak lightphaser offset against a bunch of games

- Handling of settings and resources was improved a bit:
- always reset resources to default before loading a settings file
- new "-addconfig" option (or "load additional settings") loads additional
resources from a file without resetting to defaults before. this can be used
to keep custom setups separate from the regular settings.

- Fixed sysfile search path order.
The order now is $HOME/.local -> path-of-binary -> VICE_DATADIR

- Fixed a bug in .tap file handling that caused some .tap files to not work in
the preview widget(s)

- A bunch of files have been removed from the source tree because they didn't
really belong there and/or contained outdated info:
- hardware-sids.txt, the old info is now at
https://vice-emu.pokefinder.org/index.php/Hardware_SID_Status
- SDL-support.txt, the old info is now at
https://vice-emu.pokefinder.org/index.php/SDL_Status
- ffmpeg-support.txt, the old info is now at
https://vice-emu.pokefinder.org/index.php/FFMPEG_Status

- Another bunch of files were removed because their content was hopelessly
outdated and/or could be moved to other files:
- removed ancient CHANGELOG files. Read NEWS for the recent changes. Refer to
the SVN log for the gory details.
- moved contents from FEEDBACK to README
- removed INSTALL, AUTHORS, FEEDBACK
- removed the MAN pages. Read the html or pdf manual instead.

-- build system
---------------

Many changes and simplifications were made in the build system, to make
it more reproducible and match the expected standard behaviour:

- Add --disable-optimization (default=no) to make the buildsystem use -O0 for
debugging.

- 'make dist' no longer needs '--enable-static-ffmpeg' to generate a working
tarball.

- Fixed support for the â€”disable-silent-rules/â€”enable-silent-rules configure
arguments.

- Added --enable-sandbox-mode switch. This switch will tell GTK3 to use
'native dialogs' so we can properly support Flatpak and similar containers.

- Added -â€”enable-cmake to automatically generate cmake CMakelists.txt files for
in-tree configured builds. Generating Xcode projects works, and this may
allow generation of MSVC project files in the future.

- Add --enable-desktop-files for creating and installing .desktop files on Unix.

- Added --enable/disable-html-docs
- Added --with/without-mpg123 (default=yes), makes MP3-decoding support optional
- Added --with/without-ogg-vorbis
- Added --with/without-flac (default=yes)
- Update --with[out]-lame, make no default
- Make jpeg and gif support default to no
- Make using libpng the default, fail unless explicitly disabled
- Make ALSA and Pulse default to enabled, make OSS default to disabled
- Make MIDI support disabled by default
- Make new 8580 filter default
- Removed --disable-hwscale, always check for OpenGL with GTK3, error out when
--disable-hwscale is used with SDL2

Properly report missing tools to generate docs:

- Fail on missing pdftex when PDF docs requested
- Checks for makeinfo and texi2dvi (from the texinfo package) and warns in the
configure output at the end if they are missing, but will still build VICE.

Check presence of other tools instead of silently not using them:

- Made dos2unix mandatory to avoid surprises
- Fail if building for Windows and `icotool` is missing. It can be obtained by
installing the `icoutils` package.

Some features have been deprecated and are now disabled by default:

- Added --enable-x64-image option to enable X64 image support, which is now
disabled by default.
- Added --with/without-fastsid switch to enable/disable the fastSID engine
(default is off).

** Monitor
----------

- Completely new binary remote protocol for debuggers. The older hack was
removed - see the documentation for details.

- -moncommands finally work as originally intended and supports all monitor
commands now. That means there are subtle differences in how certain things
work. one important thing is that by default it will use an initial break
point just after "reset".

- "-initbreak ready" can be used to place an initial wait for "ready", like
autostart does, or "-initbreak reset" to break just after reset.
For more details, read the documentation.

- â€˜stopâ€™ is no more ending up in recorded monitor command playback files
- Support `cd ~` to change cwd to $HOME
- Added 'mkdir' command
- Aadded 'rmdir' command
- Aadded "verify" and "bverify" commands to compare memory with a file
- Aadded optional address to the `screen` command
- `chis` shows the cycle count as well now
- Aadded option to configure the number of lines used for chis
- Aadded option to change the size of the scrollback buffer

- Added "dummy" command to enable or disable whether break- and watchpoints
trigger at dummy accesses or not.

- Check watchpoints in the order they were added, that makes the output in the
monitor less confusing when more than one watchpoint triggers at a time

- Show rasterline and cycle in both decimal and hex
- Add 'q' as a shorthand for 'quit'

- Improvements to the char/sprite display - use # over * for more contrast,
show the memory value(s) alongside binary view and fix bug showing multiple
sprites

- "list", "load" and "save" do now work with the filesystem device
- Drive numbers are now expected to be decimal
- Add monitor dump function to m6821 core
- Added info on head position/status to VIA io dump

- The display now (optionally) refreshes after each monitor command. this is not
cycle exact right now (only per scanline).

- Fixed accessing cartridge memory
- Improve expansion port mode status output
- Fix io command to shows IO space in address order

-- vdrive
---------

- The filesystem device now uses shortened filenames by default to increase
compatibility.
- Disallow to silently overwrite existing files (optional, default is "no")
- Implemented "save @" to overwrite files (but do not simulate the well known
related bugs)
- Basic support for REL files in the File System Device. (Using P00 format, or
rather R00, is recommended)
- Fix some BAM track allocation issues in 8050/8250 disk images
- Avoid DISK FULL with 27 blocks free on .D80 / .D82.
- For D80/D82 images, when reading the directory, use the correct block to fetch
the disk's name from. This corrects a bad disk name in directory listings when
using a vdrive.
- Added proper creation of d1m, d2m and d4m images, the resulting image has 1
native partition spanning the entire disk.
- When formatting or validating an 8050 or 8250 image, the header sector wasn't
flagged as allocated. This resulted in VICE hanging when creating more than 80
files on the disk.

-- True drive emulation
-----------------------

- More realistic modelling of the floppy drive wobble
- Changed lower limit for drive RPM to 260 and upper limit to 340 (ie +/- 40).
This is slightly more than possible with a real 1541.

-- CPU fixes
------------

- Prevent IRQ/NMI from being served by the CPU when it has JAMed
- Perform all "dummy" accesses also in the non "sc" core
- Changed magic constant for LAX#imm to 0xEE as required(!) by wizball

-- VDC fixes
------------

- Emulate VDC's internal buffer, issues with RFOVDC plasma part are fixed
- Several fixes for interlace, now vdcmodemania interlace parts all work and
soci VDC test #5 works
- Improved VDC-FLI handling, 3 byte attribute offset doesn't always apply,
fixes vdc-mcm demo and vdcmodemania fli part
- Fix issue with wrap around of VDC ram affecting vdcmodemania fli part
- Fixed VDC reg #28 bit #4, it sets the addressing mode, it does not actually
reflect the amount of ram installed.
- Correct aspect ratio for PAL or NTSC
- Screen is resized automatically on PAL/NTSC change
- Corrected size of saved screenshots or videos
- Correct handling of unused bits in some registers
- Corrections and enhancements to monitor "io d600" dump

-- SID fixes
------------

- Fixed the filter saturation
- Noise writeback fixes
- Envelope regression fix
- Fix the coefficients for the resid external filter
- Rough implementation of the shift register and waveform zero bitfade
- Added 4 possible additional SID chips for a total of 8 (x64*/xscpu64/x128 only)

-- C64 fixes
------------

- Enable/disable datasette/tapecart as needed on autostart

- Several new cartridge types added:
- The 'ZIPP-CODE 48' cartridge
- The polish 'blackbox v8' cartridge
- The polish 'Blackbox V3' cartridge
- The polish 'Blackbox V4' cartridge
- The polish 'Blackbox V9' cartridge
- The 'REX RAM-Floppy' cartridge
- The czech 'BIS-Plus' cartridges (2,4,8kb variants)
- The polish 'SD-BOX' cartridge
- The 'MultiMAX' cartridge
- The argentinian HERO bootleg cartridge
- The "GMod3" cartridge

- Action Replay fixes:
- When reading from IO1 area when AR5 is enabled, the value currently on the
bus will get written to the register, causing the famous bug/crash
- Handle the broken mode 0x22 and emit a warning on potentially problematic
reads

- Retroreplay fixes:
- Allow reading back the status of the freeze button
- Fix reads from IO1 when the clockport is not active.
- Handle the somewhat broken mode 0x22 like on real retro replay

- Nordic Power fixes:
- Fix writing to cartridge ram in mode 0x22

-- C128 fixes
-------------

- FD2000/4000 work again, including burst mode

-- VIC20 fixes
--------------

- Added handling for 32k cartridge files that contain blocks 1,2,3 and 5.
- Fixed megacart nvram addressing
- External audio filter fix

-- PET fixes
------------

- Teach VICE where BASIC 1 keeps the current screen line address, so that
Autostart works.
- Made the UK business keyboard the default and moved it to the top of the list
of keyboards. This makes the default setup work with the keymaps and editor
ROM we have in VICE.
- For CRTC-less PETs, use screen setup values that work out to 60 Hz refresh.
- Tuned the display timing values for non-CRTC PETs
- Renamed PET ROMs to include their part number (in line with Zimmers). This
should make it more clear which editor ROMs exist.
- The 4032B model used a wrong Editor ROM

-- SDL fixes
------------

- Implemented mouse pointer auto-hiding
- Remember last position in the main menu

- Several Keyboard mapping fixes:
- Fix (some) plus4 keymaps
- Some pet keymap fixes
- Updated/fixed symbolic mapping for italian keyboard
- Some tweaks to symbolic keymap for german layout (plus4)
- Added keymap from/for BMC64 (c64)

-- GTK3 fixes
-------------

- Almost all causes of stuttering / audio glitches when interacting with the UI
have been resolved.
- Cairo is completely gone, all major platforms use their native rendering
backend
- Added hotkey "pause" to generate a screenshot from current canvas using a
generated filename in the current working directory
- Rearranged cartridge/io settings around a bit. not perfect yet, but probably
better than before
- Add optional hiding of VDC display
- Make double-clicking on the emulated screen switch fullscreen mode
- Alt+Enter will now also toggle fullscreen mode
- Added option to pause the emulation when settings dialog is open
- Remember not only the last directory but also the last file in file dialogs
- Show "Use Alt+M to disable mouse grab" in window title if mouse grab is
active
- Support 'StartMinimized'/-minimized
- Added 'restore window geometry' to UI and commandline to allow users to apply/
ignore the last position/size of the window(s) stored in vicerc/vice.ini.
- Allow for 8 'analog' controllers on Linux
- Added Alt+Shift+F12 VICII to switch border mode in x64sc
- Moved the netplay settings from the 'File' menu to the settings dialog
- Added 'Host' root node in the settings UI, move Autostart, Monitor, Netplay,
Snapshot/Event/Media recording directory and start-mode under that.
- Also move Host->Machine settings (CWD and JAM-action) under Host, remove the
Host->Machine node.
- Use workaround for GTKFileChooser's "Select" button not being active when
selecting/creating a directory.

- Several Keyboard mapping fixes:
- Added keymaps for THE64 keyboard
- Updated keymaps for pet graphical keyboard
- Fix shift+z/y in german positional mapping (c64)

- Fix (some) plus4 keymaps
- Added positional keymap for Swedish keyboard
- Fix ctrl and cbm mapping (c128)

-- macOS fixes
--------------

- VICE GTK performance on macOS is now excellent and we finally now recommend
the GTK build over the SDL build.

- macOS bindist now relies on macports rather than homebrew. With macports itâ€™s
possible to build deps from source while targeting an older macOS version,
which allows us to continue to support macOS 10.9+.

- Re-enabled the bafflingly disabled working macOS joystick code

- Actual macOS game controller device names are now listed instead of 6x â€œAnalog
joystick nâ€

-- c1541 fixes
--------------

- Added some REL file support
- support for REL files to the c1541 COPY subcommand

- Add subcommand to show dir entry of a file, and all side sectors.

- Add support for SEQ and USR files for the -extract command

- Renamed `zcreate` command to `unzip`. 'unzip' (dissolve a zipcode archive)
sounds more logical than 'zcreate'. When we decide to also support creating
zipcode archives, a proper name for that could be 'zip' or 'zipcode'.

-- petcat fixes
---------------

- Added missing basic v4 tokens for cbmII

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Apr 24 08:37:08 UTC 2020 - Karol Sławiński <karol_slawinski@wp.pl>

- Fix changes file text formating

* Changes in Vice 3.4
=====================

** General
----------
- Remove support for Syllable OS, SCO, QNX4, QNX6, SGI, AIX, OpenStep/NextStep/
Rhapsody, Solaris/OpenIndiana and remaining traces of Minix, NeXT, SKYOS,
UNIXWARE, Sortix
- Remove remaining traces of support for WATCOM, MSVC, OpenWatcom
- Remove aRts support
- Remove YUV rendering
- Remove generation of .chm, .hlp and .info files. Please use the .pdf or .html
- skip building x64 unless --enable-x64 is passed to configure
- do not use the new/experimental 8580 filters unless --enable-new8580filter
is passed to configure
- update pattern generator for uninitialized ram. changed defaults so all
raminitpattern tests pass.
- remove block device disk image (rawdrive) "support". in linux it was never
needed (just use the device file) and on windows it was never implemented.
- added support for the IP232 protocol that was used by the long lost VICE1.19
hack, and which is supported by tcpser for emulating DTR/DCD (carrier detect)
- various userport rs232 fixes
- always save gifs as gif89
- added a couple shift flags to keyboard maps to support virtual cbm/ctrl and
mandatory pressed host modifiers. not all keymaps have been updated yet.
- ACIA IRQ fix
- create empty half tracks when mounting d64. fixes skew.d64
- new headless port that can be enabled by passing --enable-headlessui to
configure. this can be used to build an emulator without video output, which
may be useful for scripting.

** Autostart fixes
------------------
- Implemented autostart for tapecart images (.tcrt)
- Automatically change drive type when autostarting disk images that do not
work with the currently active drive.
- Make AutostartRunWithColon default
- fixed autostart when memory hacks are enabled (plus60k, plus256k, plus4)
- make auto-starting from tape also respect the 'basicload' option, loading
absolute by default
- when using a disk image to autostart .prg files, remove the .prg extension
from the temporary file name
- many detail fixes that make autostart work as expected in all emulators and
in all configurations (eg C128 in 80 columns or C64 mode)

** Snapshot fixes
-----------------
- More strict checking and more explizit error reporting

** 6510 fixes
-------------
- Accurate emulation of ANE#imm and LAX#imm "magic constant" dependency on RDY.
All occurrences of unstable use are being logged now. LAX#imm "magic constant"
changed to 0xEF, which makes the problem cases "spectipede" and "turrican 3"
work.
- fix: reset should set the I flag

** VIC-II fixes
---------------
- Accurate emulation of the "VSP bug". Warnings about possible VSP related
memory corruption are always logged, actual memory corruption is still
optional.
- Fixed changing more than one colour register via monitor

** VIC fixes
------------
- new noise LFSR as reverse engineered by Lance Ewing.

** SID fixes
------------
- use model dependent floating output ttl values like in residfp

** Monitor
----------
- Support full expressions in the monitor conditional breakpoints.
- When deleting checkpoints, reset the index to 1 when there are no more
checkpoints left
- Added 'RL' for rasterline and 'CY' for cycle in line to list of conditionals
that can be used for breakpoints.
- in mc/ms commands show asterisk for 1s and dots for 0s, not the other way
around
- adjust number of disassembled lines so the top line does not scroll out of
the window when labels are used.
- Added "log" and "logname" commands to control logging to a file

** vdrive
---------
- added rudimentary support for CMD-style reading of the RTC
- respect error info in disk images (only when reading right now). Should trick
some simple protections.
- report 65535 blocks free rather than 0 so that applications that query
available disk space before saving work as expected, e.g. some BBSs

** C-64 fixes
-------------
- added support for MAX Basic cartridge, new CRTID 61
- added clockport device for rrnet mk3
- fixed reading of 'open' clockport, fixed io dump for clockport devices
- implemented support for cartridge hardware revision in the crt format
- When attaching an Easyflash cartridge image, replace the EAPI driver with the
one for the flash chip VICE supports. This way EF images that contain a
different driver (for whatever reason) will still work.
- various keymaps added and/or fixed/updated.

** C-128 fixes
--------------
- added proper C128D model type.
- various MMU fixes
- fixed broken memory mapping in C64 mode
- Completely rewritten VDC vertical handling code. VDC101 demo with it's
vdc-split technique is now fully emulated. This rewrite attempts to emulate
more how the VDC works internally, and how the video signal/screen react, so
the border height etc is now more naturally handled.
- Various misc VDC fixes, e.g. show blank lines with certain register combinations

** Gtk3 UI
----------
- Implemented "restore display" (Alt+r). Resets the active window to its
minimal/natural size. Handy when stretching the window and then not knowing
you can make the window smaller again with resizing that same window until
it doesn't get smaller.
- Change double-clicking images in smart/diskattach dialogs to 'open' instead
of autostarting
- added options to select rendering backend and filter
- fixed opening files with UTF8 encoded filenames
- Make the (VTE) monitor display on top of the emulated machine window when in
fullscreen
- copy only used icons into the distribution, which drastically reduced its size
- Added keyboard debugging to the statusbar
- Added * (all files) filter to the fliplist attach dialog. This will allow
people to use Pi1541 *.lst files at their own peril.
- Add proper statusbar messages when using the fliplist.
- Add howto about creating a Gtk3-Windows cross-compiler on Debian with Fedora
packages (aka FrankenVICE)
- only show the host keyboard mappings in the list for which we have a valid
mapping, grey out symbolic/positional depending on what keymaps are actually
available
- Move joystick settings to the joystick widget on the statusbar.
- Windows: add icons to binaries
- allow better control of the filter settings by removing tick marks
of the sliders and adding spinboxes (6581+ReSID only)
- Fix the 'media recording' dialog to not show empty widgets when FFMPEG support
is missing, show hint on compiling in FFMPEG instead.

** SDL fixes
------------
- make hotkeys only check left alt, which makes right alt (alt-gr) work in
keyboard mappings.

** macOS fixes
--------------
- make open-gl work
- binary distributions, font support, GTK3 dock icon
- fix missing icon theme, fixed pdf manual generation, improved build
instructions
- fixed macOS make bindist when building out of tree
- Added instructions for building and debugging using Xcode
