Hi,
DOSEMU 1.3.4 is out, see
http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/bleeding/
I hope this is almost version 1.4.0; FreeDOS still needs to be updated
to 1.0 but that's about it as far as features are concerned. There
have been a few too many changes to be comfortable about that at this
stage, so any user testing is welcome to find regressions.

NEWS:
* For a first time boot with FreeDOS, DOSEMU now boots without any user
interaction, and presents a welcome screen. Drive Z: is now a read-only
drive with all the DOSEMU and FreeDOS support files.
* Clarified the copyrights and replaced some code with unclear origins.
The disclaimer acceptance has been weakened.
* Added native 64-bit support for x86-64, which, similarly to the 32-bit
version, uses CPU emulation for V86 mode, and runs DPMI code natively.
Most of the code is now 64-bit clean but a few cases may not work yet.
* The CPUEMU simulator is now a runtime option, activated via
$_cpuemu=vm86sim, or $_cpuemu=fullsim. Improved correctness of
CPUEMU.
* Added a $_cdrom option for runtime configuration of the CD-ROM device.
* Added an internal *CDEX style CD-ROM driver, activated using LREDIR, for
use with CD-ROMs that are mounted in Linux. The default autoexec.bat
uses this to set drive E: to a CD-ROM.
* Implemented support for Unicode fonts for $_X_font, so you can for
instance use the univga font or
$_X_font=-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO10646-1
* Use $_lpt1, $_lpt2, and $_lpt3 for printer configuration.
* The SDL plugin now supports text copy and paste, and X fonts.
* It is now possible to point $_vbootfloppy, $_floppy_a etc. to directories
and boot from them.
* Improved real time clock support with a periodic IRQ generator.
* Improved PCI emulation on the console, with $_pci=(auto).
* Improved the internal XMS driver.
* Various DPMI and VGAEMU fixes.
* The dosemu script is compatible with the minimal shell dash.
* You can now directly see and manipulate DOS file attributes on Lredir'ed
Linux-mounted (V)FAT partitions, when using recent 2.6 kernels.
* DOSEMU's stack is no longer marked executable which may improve security.
