Amiberry v5.6.0 released

midwan · 30 March 2023, 19:23

Hi everyone!

There's a new stable release of Amiberry available, v5.6.0. You can get it from the Github releases page as usual: https://github.com/BlitterStudio/ami...ses/tag/v5.6.0

Please note that this version has one more library requirement: libserialport needs to be installed, otherwise it won't run.
You can install it using your Linux package manager (e.g. sudo apt install libserialport0 or sudo apt install libserialport-dev for the development package, if you want to compile Amiberry from source).

Code:

? BugfixesFix "default" button setting not fully enabling CD32 pad mode when CD32 was configured.
Detection of hotplug controllers didn't work after 5.4
Restart would cause crashes sometimes
fixed controller axis should be separate from joystick axis handling
memory pattern would cause graphics glitches in some cases (#1053)
virtual keyboard now works with CD32 mode as well
fixed crash if something triggered a CPU HALT3
fixed various compiler warnings
revert custom, blitter and drawing to WinUAE 4.4.0 standard (fixes #1033)
50Hz scroll was not smooth (fixes #1055)
improve scrolling smoothness under 50Hz (fixes #1055)
Don't use SDL_Quit until we actually quit Amiberry
? ImprovementsImplemented On-Screen Virtual Keyboard (#1056) @erikbernsen
Added VKBD default toggle key
added VKBD retroarch mapping support
updated game controllers db to latest version
Clean up filesystem and bsdsocket emulation earlier.
cherry picked recent updates from dev
add SDL2 version in logfile
Rewrite Serial port support, using libserialport (#1058) - this also adds a new build requirement
Disk - Check raw write buffer index, removed debugging.
refactored input event handling to minimize latency
removed unreachable code
decrease mouse map sensitivity on joystick handling
added more logging during retroarch event handling
refactored controller input logic
refactored atomic operations, moved byteswap functions
added new default options in amiberry.conf
GUI improvements
added Warp reset option in Misc Panel
implemented turbo boot option
added 1024x600 RTG resolution
minimize diffs from dev branch
allow on-the-fly change of virtual mouse driver
add RK3588 platform in Makefile (fixes #1061)
increased width of dropdowns in Input Panel
minor speedup improvements after recent changes
a few more minor speed optimizations
automatically center GUI window when opening
Updated WHDLoad XML to latest version
?? Build Systemrenamed zip archive from ubuntu to debian

G'day ...

You looking for bug/feedback reports on this, wrt the x86-64 $target build?

I've been looking at/testing "$VER: Amiberry 5.6.1 (2023-03-30)" from github master, and stumbled across a few oddities that are probably worth posting as issues on the github if you'd like?

It's not too bad tho', reminds me a lot of E-UAE from over a decade ago =)

midwan · 01 April 2023, 11:27

Sure, if you've got something to report, the best would be as new issues on GitHub, with detailed steps to recreate etc.

giantclam · 01 April 2023, 11:58

Okay, will do ~ cu there =)

giantclam · 02 April 2023, 04:58

Just a heads-up ~ the amiberry-v5.6.0-x86-64-debian.zip binary build, doesn't fly on Debian 10 + updates...

Code:

gcb@gallah:~/Amiberry$ cat /etc/debian_version
10.13
gcb@gallah:~/Amiberry$ ldd amiberry
./amiberry: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.26' not found (required by ./amiberry)
./amiberry: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.30' not found (required by ./amiberry)
./amiberry: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by ./amiberry)

Everything else links out ok, just the glibc versioning is the stumbling block ... (I don't care, I'll recompile from sources, but it may matter to others =)

Strange, I'm using a docker container with debian:latest to build that version... I'll see if I can figure out what's wrong.

Solskogen · 03 April 2023, 09:25

debian:latest is Debian 11, not 10.

Well, of course it is - that would explain it. They grow up so fast...

giantclam · 03 April 2023, 10:48

I doubt that's a point ~ Debian 10 has LTS until June 30th 2024, so it should be supported while that is so. On top of that, amiberry-5.6.x compiles and runs fine on Debian 10 libraries as included.

Point would be. it *should* run on Debian 10 fine (as it does), and there shouldn't be any need to enforce 'current' Debian on users, just to use amiberry 5.6.0

Absolutely, Amiberry has no hard requirement on a certain version of OS.
It's just a matter of which environment is used to prepare the pre-built binary. I can add another docker image with debian10, to prepare binaries for that separately.
