<h2>Updates (2017-10-08)</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><h3>Better iOS support</h3>
|
||||
Bluetooth keyboards now work better.
|
||||
Reset is <tt>Ctrl-Shift-Delete</tt>. iOS now allows loadinging disks
|
||||
from iCloud and services like Drop Box. Saving locally is still not
|
||||
supported by iOS. I now understand why sound doesn't work, and
|
||||
I'm working on a work-around.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li><h3>Source Maps</h3>
|
||||
Although the source code has always been available, by default
|
||||
I serve up minified Javascript for performance reasons. But now you
|
||||
can poke around more easily.
|
||||

|
||||
</ul>
|

<h2>Updates (2017-08-31)</h2>
|
||||
(It's been a long time since I updated, so this is a rough list)
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><h3>Videx Videoterm Emulation (][js)</h3>
|
||||
PR#3 now does something on the Apple ][!.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li><h3>AppleColor RGB Card Emulation (//jse)</h3>
|
||||
Now supports a bunch of the mostly non-standard video formats
|
||||
found on the AppleColor RGB card, including 16 color text, 16 color
|
||||
hires mode, and mixed black and white and color double hires
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li><h3>Machine selection</h3>
|
||||
You can now select between original, autostart and plus Apple ][s,
|
||||
and unenhanced and enhanced //es.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h2>Updates (2013-07-04)</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><h3>RAMFactor Emulation (//jse)</h3>
|
||||
I now simulate having a 1 Megabyte RAMFactor card in slot 2.
|
||||
<li><h3>Thunderclock Emulation (//jse)</h3>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li><h3>Thunderclock Emulation</h3>
|
||||
There is cursory emulation of the Thunderclock card, enough
|
||||
to keep ProDOS applications from asking you to enter the date
|
||||
all the time. ProDOS attempts to guess the year from the month,
|
||||
the day and the day of the week, something that needs to be
|
||||
patched every 6 years. This means newer versions think it's 1996,
|
||||
older versions are stuck in the 80s.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li><h3>Firefox Nightly Joystick Support</h3>
|
||||
Joystick support has yet to officially land, but the latest
|
||||
nightlies support the gamepad API.

I've switched from using setInterval() to requestAnimationFrame() where
|
||||
supported. This, in conjunction with the graphics re-write, seems
|
||||
to smooth performance and provide a more stable CPU speed.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li><h3>Graphics Re-Write</h3>
|
||||
This (third) re-write of the graphics system should improve performance
|

with graphics intensive programs. Rather than rendering each graphics
