[announce] DOSEMU 1.3.5 and DOSEMU-FreeDOS 1.0 tarballs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I uploaded a new developer's release of DOSEMU, see
dosemu.org/bleeding, and also updated FreeDOS tarballs. I think,
that apart from some documentation updates, binaries, and any last
minute problems that come up, this is essentially DOSEMU 1.4.0. I
encourage distributors who still use 1.2.2 to switch to this version.

With respect to 1.3.4 there have not been very many changes, mainly bug fixes.
Stas' new sound system is included as an optional non-default (for
now) run-time option, and there have been quite a few cpuemu fixes.
The x86-64 port now runs quite stable in my experience, but others may
still find new issues.

I also uploaded new FreeDOS tarballs, with a subset of FreeDOS 1.0.
They can only be used with DOSEMU 1.3.4 or later.

Enjoy,
Bart

Version 1.3.5 (2007-04-27)
=============
* A new sound system is available, written by Stas Sergeev. It is for now
 an optional run-time option, $_sound=(2).
* Lredir can now automatically find a new drive (Ryan Underwood, Stuart Axon).
* CPUEMU fixes (many by Michael Karcher). This also means that DOSEMU now runs
 more stable on x86-64.
* Other fixes, affecting printer handling, MMX/SSE FPU state preservation,
 DPMI, Linux console graphics PCI handling on x86-64, the position of . and
 .. in "dir", UTF-8 multibyte input in terminals, SDL key handling, a double
 mouse cursor in Arachne in X, and "make install".
