I was so wrong when I wrote "last MMU bugs were fixed" in previous release notes. This second beta release fixes several newly found CPU/FPU bugs that appeared when
ARAnyM became actually used by Debian-m68k people. So the linux-m68k kernel as well as other MMU/FPU software should run much better now.
Other news and fixes:
# optional
MIDI output to /dev/sequencer (in [
MIDI] try Type=sequencer)
#
ARAnyM shouldn´t hang on quit anymore
# protect2k enabled by default (better HW compatibility with Atari)
# cxx-exceptions enabled by default (considerably faster in MMU mode)
# in Cygwin
ARAnyM ignores $HOME and follows Windows practice with $HOME under Document and Settings/
# new config file option "GMTime" (set to No by default). When enabled,
ARAnyM uses Greenwich Mean Time (useful when running an OS that knows timezones like something Linux based or maybe even properly configured SpareMiNT)
# linux-m68k properly boots now (with HW initialized)
# IKBD settings (mouse wheel, AltGr) stored in [IKBD] section of
ARAnyM config file
# sound: preliminary locking (XBIOS LockSnd/UnlockSnd) implemented
# nfVDI: fixed vswr_mode alpha expansions (tested on newsgroup reader Troll)
# new option in [ETHx]: MAC = aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff for configuring the MAC Address of the network interface. You can run several ARAnyMs in a LAN now
For the additions in the
ARAnyM config file see the provided commented configuration file.
