Version 1.6.0 (2012-01-01):
---------------------------
The Hatari project has been moved from hatari.berlios.de to
http://hatari.tuxfamily.org/. Please update all bookmarks!
Emulation:
- More accurate FDC emulation (correct status bits and commands' timings,
DMA transfer by blocks of 16 bytes, floppy change detection). This should
fix a lot of non working games
- More accurate microwire clock emulation
- SCSI class 1 (ICD) command support for drives > 1 GB
- Improved color conversion table so that colors are a little bit brighter
- Improve shifter (add another method to do 4 pixel hardware scrolling,
better emulation for 0 byte blank line)
- Some fixes to the IKBD emulation
- Better filters and model for sound emulation
- Correct VBL timings in TT monochrome (double clicking works now)
- More cycle accurate Falcon DSP <-> CPU emulation. All the demos that
needed 32Mhz CPU with the old CPU core in Hatari v1.5, work now at
correct 16Mhz with the WinUAE CPU core
- 030 MMU emulation with the WinAUE CPU core
Emulator:
- Switch to ST mode when using TOS <= 1.04
- Replace "--slowfdc" with "--fastfdc" option and default to \
fast FDC being OFF
- "--fast-boot" option to initialize "memvalid" system \
variables to
by-pass the memory test of TOS, so that the system boots faster
- "--force-max" option to force Hatari use specified maximum resolution
to avoid window size changes messing up Hatari video recording
- "--desktop-st" option to keep desktop resolution also for ST/STE modes
(unfortunately without scaling besides the low-res doubling)
- GEMDOS HD emulation:
- Allow drives up to Z: (not Y:)
- Unique name for each partition
- Warn user when using too old TOS version
- Dfree() reports host disk total and free size if they're below
value understood by TOS and unlike earlier, it forwards Dfree()
requests for other (IDE/ACSI image) partitions to TOS
- Debugger improvements:
- "history" command to list instructions executed before entering
debugger
- each trace output line is flushed to avoid it being buffered
- Fixed behavior of the Caps Lock key
Other changes:
- Fixes to Hatari UI Hatari window embedding
- Latest Linux sfdisk is borked so atari-hd-image script creates
HD image partition table now itself (experimental)
- Windows needs also HOMEDRIVE for full home path in case Hatari
isn't installed on C:, bug 18297
- Minor fixes

Version 1.5.0 (2011-07-19):
---------------------------
Emulation:
- Alternative CPU core based on WinUAE for more accurate future
HW interaction emulation (see readme.txt on how to enable it)
- Use precise clocks values (as described in Atari's official schematics)
for better video/dma audio synchronisation (e.g. More Or Less Zero by DHS)
- DSP:
- Some DSP-timing sensitive Falcon demos that by luck happened to work
with Hatari v1.4, don't work anymore in v1.5 with the default UAE CPU
core. This is because while DSP cycle accuracy has been improved,
the default UAE CPU core isn't fully cycle accurate. The experimental
WinUAE core is needed to run them
- Undocumented 2 bit shift special case for DSP SSI <-> crossbar exchanges
in hanshake mode with 32 Mhz clock (fixes DSP MP2 player used in many
demos & programs, but that requires also using WinUAE core)
- Sound improvements:
- Major rewrite and accuracy improvements in STE DMA sound, including
emulation of the 8 bytes FIFO, giving results nearly identical to
a real STE (e.g. HexTracker by Paulo Simoes)
- Improved precision in sound emulation, with nearly no rounding errors
over successive VBL (correct sound latency on US TOS running at 60 Hz)
- By default mix 3 YM voices using a lookup table of values
measured on real STF to improve digisound (e.g. Flashback demo sound)
- Remove old ST Sound's code used for tone and noise step compute
(some low period values were not correctly emulated)
- Video emulation on STF/STE:
- On STE, correctly shift display 8 pixels to the left when using
224 bytes overscan
- Add support for spec512 mode in med res (fixes 'Best Part Of The
Creation' in 'Punish Your Machine', 'HighRes Mode' demo by Paradox)
- Correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed
in med res overscan (Hatari 1.4 handled only low res, fixes 'No Cooper'
by 1984, 'Best Part Of The Creation' by Delta Force)
- Precisely emulate the number of frames per sec (eg 50.053 fps in PAL
instead of the usual 50 Hz)
Emulator:
- Atari program given as argument to Hatari will be automatically
started after TOS boots. GEMDOS hard disk directory can now be
give also as an argument, not just as a (-d) option
- TOS4 or --machine falcon option use enables DSP emulation now
(follow them with --dsp none to disable DSP emulation)
- Memory state saving and restoring fixes, especially for Falcon
- Crossbar state is included -> state file ABI break
- AVI recording options can be set in the new [Video] config file section
- AVI recording supports non integer frame rates.
- Falcon/TT Videl/hostscreen improvements:
- New setting/option for using Desktop resolution & scaling
in fullscreen instead of changing the resolution. On by default
- User's desktop size is used as max limit for Videl zooming.
Requires SDL >= 1.2.10
- Videl resolution change is done immediately, not 3 VBLs late
- Fix issues in switching between same sized VDI & TT resolutions
- SDL GUI improvements:
- DSP can be disabled from the GUI without needing to restart Hatari
- Disk access LED and desktop-resolution options
- AVI video length (mins:secs) is shown in titlebar during recording
- Option for cropping statusbar from videos & screenshots
- Fileselector scrollbar can be used with mouse
- YM mixing method selection
- Debugging improvements:
- New disassembler with more Motorola like syntax
- CPU & DSP "disasm" and "memdump" commands accept \
register & symbol
names in addition to numeric addresses / address ranges
- Option to disable Falcon mic
("--mic off" is needed for Mudflap debugging)
- "--run-vbls" can be set also at run-time
- "--bios-intercept" can be toggled from debugger (not just enabled)
- BIOS CON: output is converted to ASCII and redirected to host console
with the --bios-intercept option
- Support for tracing DSP, Videl and Crossbar
- Support for tracing AES calls. VDI calls can now be traced
also without using an extended VDI resolution
- BIOS/XBIOS/GEMDOS/VDI/AES/Line-A/Line-F opcode breakpoint support
- TEXT, DATA and BSS variables for addresses of corresponding segments
in currently loaded program
- "aes", "vdi" and "gemdos" subcommands for \
"info". Without arguments
they will output information about corresponding OS part state,
with (a non-zero) argument, opcode/call name table is shown.
"video" subcommand for showing video related information.
"cookiejar" subcommand for showing cookiejar contents.
- "file" subcommand to "lock" that executes debugger \
commands from
given file when debugger is entered (or ":lock" breakpoint is hit)
- ":lock" option to breakpoints that will show (without stopping the
emulation) the same output as what's shown on entering the debugger
- ":file" option to breakpoints that executes the commands from
given file when the breakpoint is hit. This can be used to chain
debugger actions
- multiple breakpoints options can be specified per breakpoint
- parenthesis in "evaluate" command are used to indicate memory
accesses (instead of operator precedence like earlier)
- DSP and CPU code profiling functionality. Provides statistics about
profiled code (executed code address ranges, max and total counts
and cycles), lists addresses/instructions taking most cyles and if
symbols are loaded, what were the most used symbol addresses.
- Profiling information is also shown in disassembly output
Other changes:
- hmsa tool can create empty disk images in addition to converting
disks between ST & MSA formats
- Minimal hatari-tos-register.sh Linux init script (example)
to register Hatari as binfmt_misc handler/runner for TOS programs
- hatari-console.py renamed to hconsole.py, documented and made extensible
(hconsole is command line Python interface for Hatari remote API)
- Support for plain Makefiles removed (except for internal tests),
only CMake is used for configuring and building Hatari
- CMake doesn't require anymore working C++, C-compiler is enough
