1.28.3.0 - 3 Mar 2019
---------------------
. [Change #625] AltGr+<key> does not send the <key> value to $C000.
2019-03-03 14:55:04 +00:00
- This reverts the default behaviour introduced from 1.27.6 (#558).
- Use -altgr-sends-wmchar to allow AltGr+<key> to work correctly together.
2019-03-03 14:44:33 +00:00
- NB. The reason for the revert was that it was preventing international keyboards from typing certain characters.
. [Change #616] Vertical blending now uses 560-pixel granularity for half-dot shift support (consistent with all other video modes).
1.28.2.0 - 24 Feb 2019
----------------------
. [Change #616] Support vertical blending for 'RGB (Color Monitor)' for hires.
- Support the old AppleWin 1.25 vertical blending for hires via a 'Vertical Blend' checkbox.
. [Change #621] Support RGB AppleColor card's 160-color pixel mode by squashing 640 pixels into 560 pixels.
- Squashing is done by losing every 8th pixel.
. [PR #623] Do not reset on minor state load errors.
. [Bug #609] Configuration dialog didn't correctly reflect lack of Mockingboard/Phasor when loading a save-state without this sound card.
2019-01-07 09:58:25 +00:00
1.28.1.0 - 2 Feb 2019
---------------------
. [Change #523] Support Extended 80-Column Text/AppleColor Card's DHGR Mixed mode and 560x192 Mono mode.

----------------------
2019-01-12 19:26:57 +00:00
. [Change #357] Resurrected the AppleWin 1.25 "Color (Standard)" video mode as "Color (RGB Monitor)".
2019-01-07 09:58:25 +00:00
- This is equivalent to emulating RGB video, ie. a video mode with sharp text and pixels.
- NB. Unlike AppleWin 1.25, this is now cycle-accurate, so demos that synchronise with the video scanner will work correctly.
. [Change #603] Removed support for v1 save-state files.
- Any v1 save-state files should be loaded into AppleWin 1.27, and then re-saved to a v2 save-state file.
. [Change #597] Removed the functionality for CTRL+F10 to reveal the mouse cursor.
. [Change #585] Added a 'Swap' HDD button to the Configuration->Input property sheet.

- Replaces the video ROM for the Enhanced //e.
- Support video ROM sizes of 4K, 8K and 16K (top 8K only).
- NB. The rocker switch is set to the European video ROM position.
- F10 (for //e or Enhanced //e models) emulates the PAL //e's rocker switch (under the keyboard).
- Use to toggle between European or US video ROM.
. [Change #583] Added new switch: '-no-hook-alt':
- Used to prevent left/right ALT from emulating Open/Solid Apple keys.

1.25.0.3 - 8 Sep 2014
2014-09-01 20:14:39 +00:00
---------------------
Note: This is the last planned version to support Win98/ME.
. The next release of AppleWin will be built with VS2008 Express, so will only work under Windows 2000 and later.
Changes:
. Changed the AppleWin project host from BerliOS to GitHub.
. [Feature #221] Restored F6 original behavior that was changed in v1.22.0.
F6 Toggle full-screen / windowed mode.
Ctrl-F6 Toggle windowed 1x/2x zoom.
. Ctrl-PrintScreen will copy the text screen (auto detect 40/80 columns) to the clipboard.
2014-09-01 20:14:39 +00:00
. [Feature #198] Alt-Enter toggles full screen.
. [Feature #199] Added a configuration option "Confirm reboot" to skip the F2 reboot confirmation.
. [Feature #201] Added display of current Track/Sector for the floppy drives.
- In 2x window mode the status is displayed below the drive LEDs.
- In full screen mode the status is displayed above the drive LEDS. The track/sector
is shown only for the last drive accessed.
Note: DOS3.3 Track/Sector status should be accurate.
ProDOS support is preliminary -- the track/sector may show zero after an operation.
. Memory initialization defaults to a pattern of FF FF 00 00 (memclear 2).
. Added command line switch to specify the type of memory initialization pattern.
-memclear #
Where # ranges from 0 to 7.
i.e.
-memclear 0 Initialize memory to zero
-memclear 1 Initialize memory to random values
-memclear 2 Initialize memory to 4 byte pattern: FF FF 00 00 (default, same as v1.24.0)
-memclear 3 Initialize memory to even pages FF, odd pages 00
-memclear 4 Initialize memory to first half page 00, last half page FF
-memclear 5 Initialize memory to first half page FF, last half page 00
-memclear 6 Initialize memory to byte offset of that page
(current memory address low byte)
i.e. 00:00 01 02 03 ... for page $20
-memclear 7 Initialize memory to page address
(current memory address high byte)
i.e. 00:20 20 20 20 ... for page $20
NOTE: -memclear 6 can cause a few programs to NOT function correctly
due to hidden bugs of programmers not correctly initializing memory or
using uninitialized memory. RNDL/RHND and $620B are initialized to
allow Pooyan, and the Beautiful Boot game launcher to run, along with
2014-08-25 20:22:47 +00:00
$BFFD..BFFF to allow Copy ][ v5 to boot correctly.
2014-08-28 23:55:16 +00:00
. Debugger (v2.8.0.0):
- Added: TSAVE "filename" to save the text screen to a file.
It will auto-detect the current video mode: 40/80 columns.
Default filename for 40 columns is: AppleWin_Text40.txt
Default filename for 80 columns is: AppleWin_Text80.txt
- Changed: DS to ASC because DS is used as a common "Define Space" assembler directive
- Added: Experimental "ASC" command to mark up data as Apple text.
using Castle Wolfenstien.DSK
BLOAD ^VOCAB
ASC name1 17DA:17F5
- Fixed: DB address now auto-defines the symbol D_#### if no symbol is given.
- Fixed: DW address now auto-defines the symbol W_#### if no symbol is given.

- default saves to 560x384 resolution.
- Shift+PrintScreen will save a 280x192 .bmp
Note: In case you are wondering about the non-standard resolution 560x384
o Width is 560 in order to save double hi-res graphics, and
o Height is 384 because we double the vertical scan lines to
preserve the original aspect ratio using a 560 width.
- To enable the dialog box display of the last file saved to,
use the command line option: -printscreen

. Some partial support for Pravets 8A. Caps Lock serves as Lat/Cyr lock, and F10 serves as Caps Lock.
In Pravets 8A mode the former behaviour of the F10 key is preserved as Ctrl+F10 (see Help/Keyboard for details).
Extended Basic and Miniassembler work, but there are still problems with the 8 bit charset (Ïàðèñ [Parris] does not switch to latin characters).
Some keys have to be remapped, because currently they are not available (i.e. Ý). There is still the problem that there is not enough space for this key on the keyboard.

was possible to produce *solid* mix colors like grey, purple, pink,
yellow and aquamarine even in the 2+ *hi-res mode*."
- Included Thomas Stahl's adjusted hires colors:
He "adjusted the hires colors for a more realistic look -
at least in comparison with an Apple PAL-System."
- Changed wording in Config dialog: from "Color (optimized)" to "Color (text optimized)".
- Fixed Config dialog (speed settings were misplaced in 1.12.2).
- Fixed Joystick 2 for Mario Bros: Now when in dual-joystick mode, 2nd joystick
button controls both switches #1 & #2 as one.
- Fixed Mockingboard IRQ frequency problem (Ultima 4 & 5 tunes now play at correct rate).
- Added Applewin.chm to release zip. (NB. This hasn't changed from 1.10.4)
1.12.2 - 05 Jul 2003
--------------------
Changes:
- Added support for 2nd joystick.
If the 2nd Apple joystick is enabled, then the buttons are re-configured:
- Joystick 1 controls only button #0 (ie. not button #1 too)
- Joystick 2 controls only button #1 (ie. not button #2)
This is so that player 1 can't affect player 2's controls.
So there is no way to control button #2 via a joystick. I don't think this will be a problem.
Of course Left Alt, Right Alt and Shift still activate the 3 buttons.
NB. Disable 2nd joystick if playing a 1 player game that requires the use of buttons 0 and 1.
Tested with Archon I, Archon II and One-on-one.
1.12.1 - 24 Nov 2002
--------------------
Changes:
- Changed tone waveform from orthodox square-wave to a more logarithm shape,
based on real MB waveform analysis. This is by no means perfect, but in my
opinion gives the tones more musical quality.
- Added MB enable/disable switch to Configuration dialog.
- Added simple logging support. If AppleWin is started from the command line
(DOS box) with the '-l' switch, then a text log file, AppleWin.log, will be
generated. This can hopefully be used to diagnose problems some users are having.
1.12.00 - 17 Nov 2002
---------------------
- Initial release.
- Supports 2 Mockingboard cards in slots 4 & 5
- 12 voices and noise supported using DirectX 8.1.
- Tested on Win98, 2000 and XP platforms.
