-October 6, 2008: m5_2.0_beta6
---------------------
-New Features
-1. Support for gcc 4.3
-2. Core m5 code in libm5 for integration with other simulators
-3. Preliminary support for X86 SE mode
-4. Additional system calls emulated
-5. m5term updated to work on OS X
-6. Ability to disable listen sockets
-7. Event queue performance improvements and rewrite
-8. Better errors for unconnected memory ports
-
-Bug fixes
-1. ALPHA_SE O3 perlbmk benchmark
-2. Translation bug where O3 could fetch from uncachable memory
-3. Many minor bugs
-
-Outstanding issues for 2.0 release:
---------------------
-1. Statistics cleanup
-2. Improve regression system
-3. Testing
-4. Validation
-
-March 1, 2008: m5_2.0_beta5
---------------------
-New Features
-1. Rick Strong's Simpoints config changes
-2. Support for FSU ARM port
-3. EXTRAS= option allow architectures to be specified
-
-Bug fixes
-1. Bus timing more realistic
-2. Cache writeback, LL/SC fixes
-3. Minor IGbE NIC fixes
-4. O3 op latency fix
-5. SPARC TLB demap fixes
-6. SPARC SE memory layout fixes
-7. Variety of MIPS fixes
-
-Nov 4, 2007: m5_2.0_beta4
---------------------
-New Features
-1. New cache model
-2. Use of a I/O cache between devices and memory
-3. Ability to include compiled code with EXTRAS=
-4. Python creation of params structures for initialization
-5. Ability to remotely debug in SE
-
-Bug fixes:
-1. Fix SE serialization
-2. SPARC_FS booting with TimingSimpleCPU
-3. Rename cycles() to ticks()
-4. Various SPARC ISA fixes
-5. Draining code for checkpointing
-6. Various performance improvements
-
-Possible Incompatibilities:
-1. Real TLBs are now used in SE mode. This is more accurate however it could
- cause some problems if you've modified the way page handling is done in
- SE mode.
-2. There have been many changes to the way the SCons files work. SimObjects,
- sources files, and trace flags are all specified in the SConscript files.
- To see how to add your sources take a look at one of them.
-3. Python is now used to created the parameter structs that were created
- manually before. The parameters listed in a py file are turned into
- a header file with the same name (e.g. BadDevice.py -> BadDevice.hh).
- With this change the structs can be populated automatically and the
- ugly macros to define and create SimObjects at the bottem of source
- files are gone. The parameter structs also automatically inherit
- parameters from their parents.
-
-May 16, 2007: m5_2.0_beta3
---------------------
-New Features
-1. Some support for SPARC full-system simulation
-2. Reworking of trace facitities (parameter names changed, variadic macros
- removed)
-3. Scons script cleanups
-4. Some support for compiling with Intel CC
-
-Bug fixes since beta 2:
-1. Many SPARC linux syscall emulation support fixes
-2. Multiprocessor linux boot using the detailed O3 CPU module
-3. Workaround for DMA bug (final solution to be released with 2.0f)
-4. Simulator performance and memory leak fixes
-5. Fixed issue where console could stop printing in ALPHA_FS
-6. Fix issues with remote debugging
-7. Several compile fixes, including gcc 4.1
-8. Many other minor fixes and enhancements
-
-Nov. 28, 2006: m5_2.0_beta2
---------------------
-Bug fixes since beta 1:
-1. Many cache issues resolved
-2. Uni-coherence fixes in full-system
-3. LL/SC Support
-4. Draining/Switchover
-5. Functional Accesses
-6. Bus now has real timing
-7. Single config file for all SpecCPU2000 benchmarks
-8. Several other minor bug fixes and enhancements
-
-Aug. 25, 2006: m5_2.0_beta patch 1
---------------------
-Handful of minor bug fixes for m5_2.0_beta,
-along with a few new regression tests.
-
-Aug. 15, 2006: m5_2.0_beta
---------------------
-Major update to M5 including:
-- New CPU model
-- New memory system
-- More extensive python integration
-- Preliminary syscall emulation support for MIPS and SPARC
-This is a *beta* release, meaning that some features are not complete,
-and some features from M5 1.X aren't currently supported (e.g., MP
-coherence). We are working to address these limitations and hope to
-have a complete 2.0 release soon.
-
-Oct. 8, 2005: m5_1.1
---------------------
-Update release for IOSCA workshop mini-tutorial. New features include:
-- Preliminary FreeBSD support
-- Integration of regression tests into scons build framework
-- Several bug fixes and better compatibility for Cygwin hosts
-- Major cleanup of Alpha system code (console, PAL, etc.) to make
- it easier for others to build/modify
-- Fixes to enable compilation under g++ 4.0
-- Numerous minor bug fixes
-
-June 10, 2005: m5_1.0_web
--------------------------
-The 1.0 release posted on Sourceforge after the ISCA tutorial contains
-just a few very minor fixes relative to the CD.
