2002-??-?? Philip Kendall <pak21-fuse@srcf.ucam.org>
* Separate out libspectrum (the file format handling) into its own
library; changes occuring solely in libspectrum's code will not
be listed in this ChangeLog. For structural reasons, the glib
replacement code is also in libspectrum (Philip Kendall).
* Also separate the Fuse utilities (tzxlist, etc) into their
own package (Philip Kendall).
* Add ability to load and save +2, +2A, +3 and TC2048 snapshots;
also load Pentagon snaps as 128K (Philip Kendall).
* Add ability to automatically start tapes loading when they're
opened (Philip Kendall).
* If filenames without options are given on the command line,
attempt to load them as the right sort of file (Philip Kendall).
* Use libspectrum's machine numbering and capabilities facilities
(Philip Kendall).
* Make the framebuffer UI work (Darren Salt).
* Add File/Recording/Record from snap option to begin input
recording from a snapshot (Philip Kendall).
* Fix possible segfault when displaying the keyboard widget
(Russell Marks).
* Make widgets handle their window being resized (Darren Salt).
* Redraw the display only if the data has actually changed; can
give a nice performance improvement (Philip Kendall).
* Z80 core fixes on SCF, DEC, HALT and INC SP (Boris Donko).
* Memory pages 1, 3, 5 and 7 (not 4, 5, 6 and 7) are contended
on the 128K/+2 (Philip Kendall, with thanks to Steve Snake and
Mark Woodmass).
* Get the mask right for the 128K/+2 memory control port (Philip
Kendall, with thanks to Mark Woodmass).
* Add File/Save Screen option to save the current screen to a .png
file (Philip Kendall).
* Additional options to configure to make it easier to have the
support libraries (libspectrum, lib765, libdsk, etc) in
non-system directories (Philip Kendall).
* Make keysyms.c be UI-specific, rather than containing
information for all UIs (Darren Salt).
* Add support for loadable/savable configuration; you'll need
libxml2 installed (Philip Kendall).
* Add a Tape Browser widget (Philip Kendall).
* Put the keyboard help in a separate window when using the GTK+
UI (Philip Kendall).
* Changable emulation speed (Philip Kendall).
* Change to lib765 0.3.0 for Mac OS X compatability
(Frederick Meunier).
* Reset the Timex's SCLD when loading snapshot (Philip Kendall,
Frederick Meunier).
* Timex machines have no loading noise (Frederick Meunier).
* Distribute glibc's getopt so that long options are available
even if the native libc doesn't provide them (Philip Kendall).
2002-08-22 Philip Kendall <pak21-fuse@srcf.ucam.org>
* Version 0.5.0 released
* Support for RZX v0.12 (Recording/playback code by Philip
Kendall, file support by Darren Salt and Philip Kendall).
* +3 support using John Elliott's lib765 and libdsk libraries
(Darren Salt/Philip Kendall).
* TC2048 support (Fredrick Meunier).
* Z80 core fixes: timing of OTDR and interrupt routines,
R register during interrupt and HALT and contention of
LD (nnnn),A (Philip Kendall, with thanks to Mark Woodmass
and Boris Donko).
* Sound improvements: add beeper pseudo stereo and remove
beeper fade out (Russell Marks).
* Add two new utilities for dealing with RZX files: rzxdump(1) and
rzxtool(1) (Philip Kendall).
* Support for TZX raw data blocks (Darren Salt).
* Patches to make Fuse compile and run on OS X. You'll need the
latest version of the auto* tools, XFree86 and GTK+ 1.2
installed (Fredrick Meunier).
* Add an explanation of Fuse's main emulation loop and events
system to hacking/implementation_notes.txt
* Add optional use of 640x480 mode with the SVGAlib UI (Darren
Salt/Philip Kendall).
* Lots of other minor bugfixes (Darren Salt, Russell Marks,
Philip Kendall and probably some other people as well).
2002-03-26 Philip Kendall <pak21-fuse@srcf.ucam.org>
* Version 0.4.2 released
* Simple support for a very limited form of RZX files (Philip
Kendall).
* Sound support for OpenBSD and Solaris (Alexander Yurchenko).

(originally from Darren Salt, extensively rewritten by Philip
Kendall).
* A new Options/Sound menu, giving the option to turn sound on
and off (Philip Kendall).
* Under the GTK+ UI, press F1 to get a pop-up main menu (Russell
Marks).
* Add the ability to select which device to use for sound output
(Philip Kendall).
* Create a dialog box when errors occur (idea from Darren Salt,
written by Philip Kendall).
* Titles for the GTK+ UI file selection dialog boxes (Darren
Salt).
* Update the man page (Russell Marks).
* Fix the segfault which could occur if you pressed Page Down in
the file selector widget with less than a full screen of files
in (Philip Kendall).
* Get the R register emulation correct if a DDxx or FDxx
instruction doesn't use IX or IY (Philip Kendall).
* Get the timings of tape edges write (previously, we could be
slow by up to (length of last instruction) t-states) (Philip
Kendall).
* Don't write to the printer unless we get a valid stop bit
(Russell Marks).
* Open the sound devices non-blocking to avoid hangs on some
systems (reported by Erik Kunze, fixed by Alexander Yurchenko).
* Don't write SLT data to .z80 files unless some actually exists
(reported by Russell Marks, fixed by Philip Kendall).
* Search a system-wide directory for the ROMs; see Debian's
spectrum-roms package for why this will be useful (Philip
Kendall).
* Get the lengths of ROMs correct when munmap(2)ing them (Darren
Salt/Philip Kendall).
* Add a small document describing the preferred coding style for
Fuse (Philip Kendall).
2002-02-04 Philip Kendall <pak21-fuse@srcf.ucam.org>
* Version 0.4.1 released.
* Add contention of memory and io ports. Should make multicolour
effects better (Philip Kendall).

more games (eg Sidewize) work (Philip Kendall).
* Add a keyboard picture -- see the Help menu (Philip Kendall,
Russell Marks).
* Support for .slt files (Philip Kendall, Darren Salt).
* Support for the ZX Printer (48K), serial printer (128K/+2)
and parallel printer (+2A) (Russell Marks).
* Add the ability to select a machine type directly, rather than
cycling through the available machines (Philip Kendall).
* Add command-line options; see the man page for details (Philip
Kendall).
* Lots of improvements to the widgets to make them much more
similar to the GTK+ menus (Philip Kendall).
* Cleaner shutdown on 'impossible' conditions; especially useful
with the SVGAlib UI (Philip Kendall).
* Add 'tape rewind' and 'tape clear' options (Philip Kendall).
* Make tzxlist able to deal with multiple files, and give it
a man page (Darren Salt).
* Man page update (Russell Marks).
* Remove coredump if an empty .tzx file was loaded (Philip Kendall).
* Various bits of codebase reorganisation. Most significant is the
move of each UI to its own directory (Philip Kendall).
* Fix a fairly major thinko in libspectrum which meant that it
was using approximately twice as much memory as it needed to
(Philip Kendall).
* Things probably of more interest to developers:
+ A --enable-warnings option to configure to turn on lots more
warning options if you're using gcc.
+ Detect gcc properly in configure.in.
+ Remove many of the warnings generated when --enable-warnings
is used.
+ Add a hacking/ui.txt file giving details on how to implement
a new UI for Fuse.
(Philip Kendall).
2001-12-20 Philip Kendall <pak21-fuse@srcf.ucam.org>

* The big one: .tzx support. Fuse will now read in all the common
block types from .tzx files (Philip Kendall).
* Ability to write out tape files (Philip Kendall).
* Various improvements to the widget dialog boxes: cursor keys,
Page Up, Page Down, Home and End all do what you would expect,
remove the use of `scandir' function to improve inter-Unix
compatability, append `/' to directories to make them more
obvious, stop the hangs if you tried to start a widget whilst
one was active. (Philip Kendall, Russell Marks).
* .z80 snapshots: deal with the case of the end marker being
preceeded by 0x00 or 0x00 0xed (Philip Kendall).
* Lots of sound improvements (Russell Marks).
* Addition of tzxlist utility to list the blocks found in a .tzx
file (Philip Kendall).
* Have a man page (Russell Marks).
* Emulation of the AY-3-8912's register 15 (Russell Marks).

2001-10-07 Philip Kendall <pak21-fuse@srcf.ucam.org>
* Versions 0.3.2 and 0.3.2.1 released.
* Added file selection dialog boxes for snapshot and tape loading,
and (GTK+ only) snapshot saving (Philip Kendall, Matan Ziv-Av).
* Allowed changing of Issue 2/3 keyboard at run-time. (Philip
Kendall).
* Basically complete rewrite of the tape handling routines (Philip
Kendall).
* Allow `slow' tape loading with border effects, sound, et al.
(Philip Kendall).
* Changed the default install location to `/usr/local' (Philip
Kendall).
* Generate keysyms.c from keysyms.dat; allows me automatically
keep the Xlib/GTK+ and svgalib key tables in sync (Philip
Kendall).
* Beginnings of `widgets': dialog boxes etc. for non-GTK+ user
interfaces (Matan Ziv-Av, Philip Kendall).
2001-08-13 Philip Kendall <pak21-fuse@srcf.ucam.org>
* Version 0.3.1 released.
* Removed need for glib (but it's still used if present)
(Matan Ziv-Av).
* Separated OSS (Linux) specific sound code out into separate
files, removed most floating-point calculations from the AY
code, added support for 16-bit only devices, and added some
AY subsampling (Russell Marks).
* Fuse now runs on a StrongARM 1110, using the new framebuffer
UI (Matan Ziv-Av).
* Major tidy-up of display.c and event.c (Philip Kendall).
* Implemented a `lazy write' scheme for the screen. Makes
rainbowing effects _much_ faster (and helps elsewhere as
well) (Philip Kendall).
* Further improvements to the lazy write scheme - consecutive
lines which have changed are copied to the screen in one
block, rather than as separate lines (Philip Kendall).
* Complete rewrite of the snapshot code; now handles .z80
and .sna snapshots (Philip Kendall).
* Started separating some bits of code into subdirectories;
currently `libspectrum' for the snapshot code, and `z80'
for the Z80 core (Philip Kendall).
* Added `AUTHORS' file (Philip Kendall).
* Large rewrite of the code for changing machine type
(Philip Kendall).
* Made `make install' work (Philip Kendall).
2001-01-31 Philip Kendall <pak@ast.cam.ac.uk>
* Version 0.3.0 released.
* Fixed a large bug in the 48K snapshot saving routine.
* Added rudimentary GTK+ interface.
* Added svgalib interface (thanks to Matan Ziv-Av).
* Made peripheral emulation much more modular, and added proper
decoding of ports.
* Fixing timings for INI, OUTI, IND, OUTD and the repeated
versions (they were all one T-state too short).
* Sound support under Linux (thanks to Russell Marks and Matan
Ziv-Av).
2000-12-17 Philip Kendall <pak@ast.cam.ac.uk>
* Version 0.2.1 released.
* 2x2 and 3x3 displays now available.
* Border emulation is back (with rainbowing).
* Better keyboard emulation -- Abu Simbel Profanation now works
(and Issue 2 emulation is now available as a compile-time
option). Thanks to Santiago Romero for putting me on the track
of this bug.
* Rewrite of Z80 core: one function call now runs the Z80 core
until something interesting happens, as determined by a list of
`events'. Thanks to Miklos Szeredi's `SpectEmu' for the
inspiration for this change.
2000-09-27 Philip Kendall <pak@ast.cam.ac.uk>
* Version 0.2.0 released

* Screen rainbowing effects present.
* Console version runs at the correct speed (almost. It runs at
50.00Hz, rather than the correct 50.01Hz (128K/+2) or 50.08Hz
(48K) ).
* Added ROM trap to read from tape files.
* Other bug fixes/improvements.
1999-08-03 Philip Kendall <pak@ast.cam.ac.uk>
* Version 0.1.2 released.
