DOSBox-X release 0.82.14 2019-01-01 02:02

0.82.14

  • Windows builds, if run on Windows 7 or higher, will now direct
    the task bar preview to show only the part of the window
    containing the DOS screen.
  • SDL1 Mac OS X builds fixed to remember window position even
    if going to or from fullscreen mode.
  • Fixed mistakes with SDL2 surface output that caused serious
    UI problems with fullscreen mode and fullresolution=original.
  • Fixed problems with SDL1 Mac OS X and the window/dock menu
    filling up with multiple windows that have long ceased to
    exist.
  • SDL1 Mac OS X startup code replaced with startup code from
    SDL2 in order to run from main() cleanly instead of running
    SDL_main from an OS X event callback. This also fixes the
    problem of an unresponsive menu on startup if run from the
    terminal.
  • SDL1 Mac OS X builds fixed not to destroy and recreate the
    window every time it is resized.
  • SDL1 Mac OS X builds fixed to keep the window position
    stable every time you resize or do anything to trigger
    window recreation. Resizing the window no longer causes it
    to re-center to your screen.
  • SDL initializion fixed not to bail out on startup if
    DOSBox-X is unable to initialize SDL1 CD-ROM support (ccawley2011)
  • Segfault fixed (NULL pointer de-reference) that
    occurs when running DOSBox SVN on anything older than
    Mojave. DOSBox-X was not affected but the fix was applied
    just the same because the possibility is there.
  • Configuration GUI fixed to fade out with the right color
    RGBA order on Mac OS X.
  • Mac OS X SDL1 builds fixed to ignore mouse movement that
    occurs outside the window, unless any buttons are held
    down.
  • Mac OS X RGBA color order error with output=opengl fixed.
    EGA/CGA/MDA/Hercules/etc. modes should display properly
    now on OS X with OpenGL output.
  • SDL1 builds for Mac OS X now use the full Application
    menu generated by SDL1 instead of just an About command.
  • SDL1 builds under Mac OS X now support the "touch bar"
    on Macbook Pro and offer a few basic shortcuts,
    including a few that the touch bar makes much more
    inconvenient to use since the function key row is
    virtual on the touch bar instead of physical.
  • SDL1 builds under Mac OS X now offer a few basic
    DOSBox-X shortcuts if you command-click or double-tap
    the application icon in the dock.
  • Added support for taskbar extensions offered by
    Windows 7 and higher that allow DOSBox-X to put
    additional buttons in the preview pane that appears
    when you hover over DOSBox-X in the taskbar.
  • Centos 7 SDL1 builds (Linux X11) can now go fullscreen
    properly, instead of making the user input devices
    unusable running in an endless loop.
  • Windows builds now include Mapper and Configuration GUI
    commands in the system menu.

0.82.13

  • Mac OS X SDL2 builds now use the native OS X menu
    system instead of the "SDL drawn" menus.
  • Mac OS X SDL1 builds now default to the OpenGL
    output (if compiled with OpenGL support). Under
    recent versions of OS X, OpenGL output gives
    better performance than surface (CGBitmap) based
    display.
  • SDL2 builds now have working XBRZ scaler support.
  • Mac OS X SDL2 builds updated to completely ignore
    touch events, because SDL2 sees the touchpad on
    Macbooks as a touchscreen. Prior to this fix, the
    DOSBox-X UI was unusable due to mixed input events
    from both the touchpad and the mouse input from the
    touchpad.
  • SDL1 High DPI support for Mac OS X users with Retina
    displays.
  • SDL1 fix for display problems (blank windows) on Mac
    OS X 10.14.x (Mojave).
  • Windows builds (compiled with VS2017) now have working
    MT32 (Munt) emulation.
  • Adjusting CPU cycles with F12 + - / F12 + + (Increment
    and Decrement Cycles shortcuts) now updates cpu cycles
    property. This fixes a problem where adjusting the cycle
    count then changing the CPU core caused DOSBox-X to reset
    the cycle count back to the original value.
  • Linux/X11 support fixed not to assume XRandR extensions
    are present, but to instead ask the X11 server first.
  • Simple scaler rendering has altered the RENDER start line
    state so that detection of a changed line triggers a block
    of rendering without compare within a limited count before
    checking again. This means a reduced CPU load with scalers
    because it only detects frame changes every line before
    changes detected, and then on average every 12th line
    when running the scaler code. Hopefully this helps the
    Raspberry Pi keep up with DOS gaming better.
  • Simple scalers now offer compile-time (not run-time)
    option to omit per-pixel compare in scaler and process
    the entire scanline instead as a performance adjustment
    for slower and embedded systems.
  • Video debug menu added. First item is one that blanks the
    display to test screen updating.
  • Simple scalers (normal 2x-5x and SAI) revised to process
    changes and scaler rendering in larger blocks for possible
    performance improvement.
  • Simple scalers fixed to properly compare all pixels to
    detect changes properly, instead of only the first 4-8
    pixels.
  • EGA/VGA text rendering combined to reduce code copypasta
    and reduce bugs.
  • VGA 16-color planar modes now obey CRTC byte/word/dword
    bits.
