NEWS file for DOSEMU ==================== This file contains a list of user visible changes in DOSEMU. For the raw developer changelog please refer to ChangeLog. Version 1.3.1 (2004-07-11) ============= * Support for 32rtm extender was added. It is now possible to use the 32bit Borland tools under dosemu. * Support for the HX DOS Extender was added. It is now possible to run some win32 console apps under dosemu, using that extender. * The Blinker extender is now fully supported (all known versions). But some older versions of that extender may require the 2.4.x linux kernel (linux-2.6.8 will include the necessary fix). * Improved DPMI uncommitted memory support (started in 1.3.0). * The hogtheshold code was reorganized to be able to pass through certain events quicker (such as loading a file in FreeDOS EDIT) even when you have it set to "1". * Fixed all new warnings with GCC 3.4. * Fixed compilation problem with Fedora Core 2 headers. * Added cp895 and bg-mik character set support. * Many VGAEMU bugs were fixed, and bitmap fonts are much quicker. * Allow "fast" i/o ports above 0x400 for kernels that support it (2.6.7-mm kernels only for now) * Implemented VxD hooks for WinOS2: seems to solve all remaining problems with Win3.1(WinOS2): allows Alt-Tab and the timer. * Many DPMI and DOS extender fixes. * An automatic backtrace using GDB (output in ~/.dosemu/boot.log) is attempted when DOSEMU crashes. * Serial code fixes. * Corrected int15/ax=e801 for so $_xms > 64M is reported correctly by MEM. * Fix NPTL issues when switching VC's on the console. * Check /proc/net/ipx/route etc for kernel 2.6.x. * LFN (long file name) fixes. Still needs more testing * Fixed read/write problem for files with negative file offsets on lredir'ed drives.
