CHANGELOG

0.82.1 (12/25/2017)
  - Windows releases compiled by TheGreatCodeholio again.
  - SDL 1.x and SDL 2.x support in the same branch, selectable
    by configuration option or VS2017 build target.
  - SC400 emulation fixes
  - Mac OS X pixel format fix to avoid corrupt graphics (Martin Lindhe)
  - MT32 emulation now explains what ROM images it's looking for,
    instead of just stating that it can't find the ROM images.
  - Direct3D shaders from Daum (alex)
  - NukeOPL OPL emulation
  - Basic (experimental) NEC PC-98 emulation (machine=pc98)
    - CG (character generator) emulation will need ANEX86.BMP
      or FREECG98.BMP
  - Some uninitialized state fixes
  - FDI, FDD floppy disk support (especially PC-98 games)
  - HDI hard disk support (especially PC-98 games)
  - DOS FAT filesystem driver: added many sanity, size,
    sector size and overrun checks.
  - Floppy and hard disk image support now supports sector
    sizes other than 512 bytes per sector (up to 1024).
  - DOS FAT filesystem driver can now handle FAT filesystems
    formatted with 256, 512, or 1024 bytes per sector.
  - INT 29h route output to CON driver in PC-98 mode so
    games can clear the screen with ANSI codes (Touhou Project).
  - NEC PC-98 support for proprietary ANSI codes to clear
    screen and show/hide function key row.
  - NEC PC-98 FM emulation (borrowed/ported from Project Neko II).
  - MPU-401 now emulates relative tempo change commands.
  - When mounting folders as a drive letter, filenames are
    now translated between guest and host according to the
    MS-DOS code page. This allows DOS games to use extended
    characters in a way that does not cause invalid filenames
    on the host. The host is always assumed to support unicode.
    Windows builds will use wide char (UTF-16) host names and
    Linux/Mac OS X builds will use UTF-8.
  - Code page translation for 437 (US MS-DOS) and 932 (PC-98 Shift-JIS).

    no longer hang/crash after some random amount of time (threading conflict)
  - PC-98 minimal mouse emulation
  - VGA doublescan=false fixed to display correctly, especially with scalers
  - SDL 1.x Windows builds fixed to process mouse motion FIRST before
    mouse buttons so that guest pointer integration with Windows 3.1
    works properly.
  - SDL 1.x Windows builds now enforce a 60Hz cap on mouse motion
    detection because recent versions of Windows have some latency
    when SDL repositions the mouse cursor. This fixes random
    erratic jumps in mouse motion when playing games that respond
    to mouse movement.
  - SDL 2.x fix touchscreen interaction on Windows
  - SDL 2.x mapper now responds to touchscreen as well as mouse.
  - DOSBox Integration device no longer enables it's ISA PnP device
    by default.

    "mouse" events faked by Windows from the touchscreen.

  - CMS (GameBlaster) frequency correction (basic2004)
  - SID frequency correction (basic2004)
  - Maximize button in Windows now consistently triggers fullscreen mode
  - SDL 2.x builds now use a different mapper file name to

    completely different between the two.

  - MOUNT / IMGMOUNT convert backslash to forward slash in path on Linux to
    allow dosbox.conf files from Windows to work on Linux.
  - DOSBox-X officially no longer targets Windows XP.
    Unofficially third party builds may support Windows XP.
  - MPU-401 emulation now allows you to choose the IRQ, if desired.
  - Windows builds now include reference dosbox.conf so that you
    have a list of all options.
  - IMGMOUNT and FAT filesystem support now check partition type
    field to ensure that the partition chosen is a FAT filesystem.
  - IMGMOUNT no longer requires -size parameter if mounting
    a HDI disk image.
  - IMGMOUNT and FAT filesystem driver updated to support both
    IBM PC MBR (master boot record) and PC-98 IPL1 partition
    tables.
  - Fixed UMB memory selection not to overlap the EMS page frame.
  - EMS updated to sit at E000h in IBM PC mode and D000h in PC-98 mode.
  - Mapper interface now shows additional buttons for handlers
    registered after initial emulator setup phase.
  - Mapper fixed to load/save or apply default keybindings for
    handlers registered after initial emulator setup phase.
  - Mapper fixes now reveal "capture OPL", "hercules palette"
    options as well. The fixes also allow the default key
    bindings for those functions to work.
  - "CTTY NUL" no longer causes DOSBox-X to hang.
  - MOUNT now supports use of -q to suppress message when
    successfully unmounting a drive.
