The DOSEMU team is proud to announce DOSEMU 1.2.1, the PC Emulator for x86 based Linux.
This release adds (conservatively) a few new features with respect to 1.2.0 but the emphasis is on stabilization and bug fixes. Please refer to http://www.dosemu.org/stable Also the dosemu-freedos tarballs were updated to beta9 rc4. Summary of changes: New features: * Now, you can run your favourite DOS apps like this: xdosemu "/home/clarence/games/commander keen/keen1.exe" * Added GPM (mouse) support for the Linux console * Added support for MIDI input (Create a ~/.dosemu/dosemu-midi_in pipe and forward your midi data to it) * Added fullscreen options to dosemu.conf, xmode and a -w switch so it is no longer only accessible using a hotkey * Added possibility to turn off the mouse (dosemu.conf and the -m switch) * DPMI 1.0 compliant multiple client support Bugs fixed: * Allow int 1A function 3 to set the emulated CMOS time of the day clock. * Fix sound for the game Screamer * Avoid recursion for the exception 0x11 handler and signal handlers * Block SIGALRM and check for a pending one instead of turning off the itimer for the MFS. Without this change situations that spend lots of time in the MFS effectively could have SIGALRM disabled (showed up on SMP machines in a "dir" loop). * NULL pointer dereference fixes * Fixes for "BUG: dosemu touched protected video mem" * Mark critical global variables used in signal handlers as volatile to avoid gcc over-optimizations * VGAEMU DAC fixes palette problems in some games * Fix bug #866618 rows over 80 char: a DOS text-mode program programmed the VGA controller to (logically) have more than 80 columns per line but vgaemu didn't pick it up. * Solved display problems with Duke Nukem 1 * Solved vga font problem with the binary distribution. * Various "unix -e", serial, dosdebug and DPMI fixes * Count number of times middle button is pressed even for 2 button mice (will be zero). Fixes bug #891650 enjoy, Bart Oldeman - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
