  • for exceptions other than page faults, the monitor will display register
    CR4 instead of CR2, if it exists.
  • Jemm might have reduced last MCB by 16 byte when loaded while UMBs
    where already available and used by DOS.
  • Jemm does again scan the region C000-EFFF for RAM. This avoids
    a system crash if upper memory has been supplied by UMBPCI and is
    used by DOS.
  • new option MOVEXBDA for Jemm implemented.
  • JemmEx will recognize memory blocks activated by UMBPCI and include them
    into its UMB pool. Makes option S=start-end virtually obsolete.
  • a warning is displayed if the extended memory block where Jemm386 will
    reside is beyond the 16MB limit.
  • strategy to realloc an EMB to increase its size has been changed and is
    now smart enough to check if the block can be increased without moving
    it.
  • UMBM no longer requires the /I parameter; it will scan for blocks with
    the UMBPCI signature.
  • UMBM has new option /XBDA.
  • UMBM now acts gracefully if line DOS=UMB is missing in CONFIG.SYS.
  • MOVEXBDA has got option /A to make it align the new XBDA to a kB boundary.
  • tool CPUSTAT split into CPUSTAT and CPUID.
  • emulation of Int 15h, ah=87 (move extended memory) has been enhanced
    to allow to access physical memory beyond the 4 GB border via PSE-36.
  • JemmEx XMM now implements XMS v3.5 (extended memory > 4 GB). Default XMS
    handles changed to 48 (previously 32). Added MAXSEXT option for JemmEx,
    and also added JemmExL.exe, that still supports XMS v3.0 only.
  • JemmEx: return DX=0 if XMS alloc functions fail (XMS spec).
  • option I=TEST does now indeed what's documented. Previously it only
    scanned regions of "external" ROMs ( i.e., the ROM of the VGA card ).
    This means it's more "aggressive" now.
  • ALTBOOT option sends "system reset" command to keyboard controller.
