WinUAE 1.4.5 public beta series
Read before replying: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=26715
Nothing major planned (so far..), main reason for beta 1 is Snoopy-fix :) http://www.winuae.net/files/b/winuae_1450b1.zip Beta 1: - CDTV and CD32 interrupt handling improved, fixes "Snoopy In The Case Of The Missing Blanket" - lzx decompressor compatibility and stability improved, store-mode supported - do not include display dimensions in display list if Windows 98/ME (it is garbage, at least on some systems) - Windows 98/ME serial port detection update - possible fix for overlay issues but it might cause slow downs in some cases.. - added -busywait debugging command line option - DiskSqueeze (dsq) dms-like disk packer format supported (probably totally useless but was easy to do..) cop, dimp, warp (not to be confused with mfmwarp) support may be "useful" too, perhaps in future.. Unfortunately most formats are not documented. |

cop, dimp: http://aminet.net/search?query=xad+client source under GPL, cop probably will be difficult as it can use xpk libraries warp: http://libxad.cvs.sourceforge.net/li...table/clients/ in AMPK.c (LGPL) can you change strcat(p, " (*.uss"); to strcat(p, " (*.uss)"); in win32gui.c line 1131 (purely cosmetic and not beta related :blased) |

Warp support implemented. |
I found a minor bug. Seems this bug also made it into the previous release. In configurations if you select a file in the main window and click on the load button, then click the same file and click the save button it will remain grey even if you load a different configuration. This can make knowing which config has been loaded a bit confusing. Although the name in the Window title does help. :p
I'm running Windows 2000 so maybe the problem only occurs on machines with this OS. :confused |

"High-end expanded" quickstart config should have 68040 by default IMHO, so that you can run AmigaOS without installing some third-party libs first. The user can manually choose 68060 later, if he knows what he does. The quickstart menu is for less experienced users IMHO.

Beta 2: - warp (.wrp) disk compression format supported - ce-mode interrupt delay fix, intreq contents was incorrectly delayed (fixes some programs that froze in CE-mode) - doublescanned modes look slightly better - added 64-bit CMD_READ uaescsi.device support (if there are programs that access DVDs in non-SCSI-direct mode) - missing hardfile dos type select box is back (disappeared few releases ago..) - Nordic Power v3.0 support added (Thanks Christian!) Interestingly this one has ROM at 0xf60000, not at 0xf00000 (check the zone) - EXPERIMENTAL: save only non-default configuration entries. Makes smaller config files but I am not yet sure if this is safe.. (at least long list of input config entries can be removed safely) - added autoboot (bootpri>=-127) and donotmount (bootpri=-129) checkboxes to GUI - Amiga-side dummy Sana2 driver (most commands return bogus errors) Real communication between Sana2 driver and TAP driver (comes with OpenVPN, 2.1rc4 or newer required) will be implemented later, I hope.. current development name is "uaenet.device". - do not show rom scan results if rom scan was automatic (missing registry data or new winuae version was detected) - high end quickstart cpu changed back to 68040 (68060 does not boot very well without 68060.library..) |

So far I like the reduced number of entries in the config file, but I can't seem to shake the feeling there's something wrong with not seeing all the entries. It's just a feeling at this point. :) |

btw, donotmount is not in directory drive GUI. (pointless in my opinion) |

I have two HDDs that don't boot, having a checkbox to prevent booting would be usefull. What I do now is either set the boot priority lower then what I want to boot or put them lower in the list in the harddrive panel. |
@Toni:
a lot of winuaeenforcer hits are happening with 1.4.4 and later which IIRC didn't happen in earlier releases. For example when playing a sound with WinUAE's AHI driver on OS3.9 or when (quick-)formatting a HDF partition with PFS3. |

@Toni Wilen: A technical question: I have created quite a bit configuration files with WinUAE 1.4.3. So, if I now install 1.4.5b1 or b2, would I need to recreate all these configuration files or am I good to go?

This makes me very happy (even if it doesn't work right now, I have NOT tested, so I don't know..... ) as it would give even morethe feel of using a "real" amiga to do networkings :D Can't wait for the experiemnt to to become "standard" :D OFF TOPIC, I know.. but how are you enjoying your CDTV, Tony? |

Great, thanks for your answer. I thought that because I on my last WinUAE transition I went from 0.9.92 to 1.4.3 and I had to change configuration files because with old ones my games had a horrible lag.
Still, I guess it was a huge jump:). |
