Developer log: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:56, 18 March 2016

The developer log is intended to be a central place for all developers to take down notes on what has changed during development. This helps to keep all porters up to date regarding API and Resource changes.

Trunk

Here is a short overview of all changes made in trunk that are relevant for the respective port/gui maintainers.

Note: new stuff should be added at the bottom and each item should have the related svn revision

To keep the size of this list down (and hopefully shrinking) ...

Port/GUI Maintainers should remove their port from the respective item when it is implemented.
To not clutter this page with stuff that will not get implemented anytime soon ("i will not add lightpen support to this handheld port") in such cases the respective port should also get removed from the respective item, and a note pointing out the missing feature should get added to Todo#Ports_.2F_UIs instead.
Items which have no more TODOs left should then be moved to the Developer_log_old Page

2.2

2.2.7 (r22889)

NEW: archdep_fix_permissions (r23053)
- should set the permissions of a given file to "rw", respecting the current umask (if any)
- TODO: add proper code for the following ports: beos
- TODO: ...and copy to arch/sdl/archdep_* when doing that

2.3

2.3.9 (r24210)

additional functions signals_pipe_set() and signals_pipe_unset() added in arch/*/signals.c (r24261)
- to check if a port needs this implemented, type this into one terminal:
x64 -remotemonitor

and this into another:

echo "reset" | nc -p 6510

now terminate the connection by pressing ctrl-c. if the emulator now quits (or crashes) you probably need to handle SIGPIPE, ie set up a signal handler for SIGPIPE that calls monitor_abort() (see the unix code as an example). if not, just locate the respective fixme note in 'your' sourcefile and remove it.
- TODO: check/confirm/implement for the following ports: amiga, beos, dos, os/2
- TODO: ...and copy to arch/sdl/archdep_* when sigpipe handling is required

put the status of the vsid ui into the todo list here: Todo#Ports_.2F_UIs
- TODO: check following ports: dos

2.3.15 (r25340)

added support for "Formel 64" parallel cable (r25438)
- extended resources Drive8ParallelCable, Drive9ParallelCable, Drive10ParallelCable, Drive11ParallelCable (enum) from 0..2 to 0..3 (DRIVE_PC_NONE, DRIVE_PC_STANDARD, DRIVE_PC_DD3, DRIVE_PC_FORMEL64). added DRIVE_PC_NUM respectively (drive.h)
- TODO: update gui items in following ports: os/2

2.3.21 (r26032)

added "SuperCard+" emulation (this is a drive expansion board for 1541/1570/1571/1571cr)
new Resource: "DriveSuperCardName" (string) that specifies the SuperCard ROM image
new Resources: "Drive8SuperCard", "Drive9SuperCard", "Drive10SuperCard", "Drive11SuperCard" (toggle) that specify whether SuperCard is enabled for the respective drive
TODO: add GUI items to following ports: os/2

2.4

2.4 (r26680)

updated the datasette emulation to also work as expected when there is no tape image present
- all UI elements should be always visible and enabled (as with a real datasette :))
- the parameter passed to ui_set_tape_status can then be used to somehow indicate whether a tape image is present (eg by using a different color)
- ui_set_tape_status, ui_display_tape_motor_status, ui_display_tape_control_status and ui_display_tape_counter in ui code perhaps must be updated to handle being called before the respective gui item has been created (which unfortunately can not be avoided easily with the current architecture)
- TODO: Check and if required adapt GUI items for the following ports: beos, dos, os/2

r27046

NEW: Resource "DriveSoundEmulationVolume" (integer, 0 - 4000) to adjust the volume of the drive noise emulation
- TODO: add GUI items in following ports: beos, os/2

2.4.4 (r27450)

NEW: added Resource "JAMAction" to select default action on CPU JAM. (int, MACHINE_JAM_ACTION_DIALOG, MACHINE_JAM_ACTION_CONTINUE, MACHINE_JAM_ACTION_MONITOR, MACHINE_JAM_ACTION_RESET, MACHINE_JAM_ACTION_HARD_RESET and MACHINE_NUM_JAM_ACTIONS respectively)
- TODO: add GUI item(s) in following ports: os/2

also see r27981 below

r27452

NEW: added Resource "IECReset" (1: drives reset with computer, 0: drives do only reset on powercycle/hard reset) to x64, x64sc and xscpu64 - this should go into the "model selection" dialog (as it depends on the board)
- TODO: add GUI item(s) in following ports: os/2
- NOTE: while adding this, check if the model switching in xscpu64 is working (it should be like in x64sc, not like in x64!)

r27549

Resid-FP has been removed.
To compensate for the missing SID-Type selection, GUI items (slider) should be added for the following Resources: SidResidPassband (0..90), SidResidGain (90..100), SidResidFilterBias (-5000...5000)
- TODO: add/update GUI item(s) in following ports: os/2

added MACHINE_JAM_ACTION_QUIT as option for JAMACTION

TODO: Update/Fix GUI items in following ports: amiga, beos, os/2

r29938

added new joyport system. The new system makes things modular. On one side you have the devices that can be on a joyport, and all the code for those has to do is handle reading/writing of digital lines and reading of the pot-lines. On the other side you have the 'chip' emulations that deal with the hardware emulation. The new system handles the traffic between the two sides, handles conflicts between input resources that devices use and provides a way for the gui's to query what devices are present (name and id).
new resources related to the new joyport system: "JoyPort1Device" (int), "JoyPort2Device" (int), "JoyPort3Device" (int) and "JoyPort4Device" (int)
