DOSBox-X release 2018-01-07 14:09

• Added code to correctly detect 15-bit highcolor vs 16-bit highcolor
  display format support, despite SDL falsely indicating 16-bit
  color in both cases, which fixes incorrect colors on 15-bit display
  modes.
• Fix up VGA DAC/palette mapping to display the emulator screen
  properly on 16-bit true color displays. Fixed off-by-one shift
  mistake in the DOSBox-X render scaler code that caused
  green and purple tints to colors on 16-bit true color displays.

• Fix up VGA DAC/palette mapping to display the emulator screen
  properly on 16-bit true color displays. Fixed off-by-one shift
  mistake in the DOSBox-X render scaler code that caused
  green and purple tints to colors on 16-bit true color displays.
• Add "Show menu bar" command to the Windows "system menu" so that
  the menu bar can be brought back after selecting "hide menu bar".
• Losing window focus while fullscreen no longer leaves the emulator
  window blank.
• Maximize/restore fullscreen cleanup.
• Removed DDRAW output.

• Add "Show menu bar" command to the Windows "system menu" so that
  the menu bar can be brought back after selecting "hide menu bar".
• Losing window focus while fullscreen no longer leaves the emulator
  window blank.
• Maximize/restore fullscreen cleanup.
• Removed DDRAW output.
• Fix FAT filesystem driver to clear "success" flag at all failure
  return points. This fixes problems where unrecognizeable FAT
  filesystems are nonetheless presented as a drive letter with
  garbled filenames, when IMGMOUNT should have displayed an error
  instead.
• Fix FAT filesystem driver to allow PC-98 HDI images to load that
  have headcount == 0 in the BPB.
• Fix Adlib emulation not to register a mapper handler if emulation
  will jump to PC-98 mode, and fix mapper handler to check if Adlib
  emulation is loaded to avoid segfault.
• Add "recording" volume to control the loudness of the audio going
  out to capture (WAV, AVI, etc.)
• Separate mixer rendering from master volume. Apply master volume
  at the sound card only, leave audio at full volume for recording
  (WAV, AVI, etc. capture).
• dosbox.conf and command line option to log CON driver output to
  a file. Anything written to STDOUT/CON by a DOS application is
  logged this way.
• --time-limit command line option to put a time limit on the
  emulator, in seconds.
• Keyboard shortcut for the mapper UI no longer leaves keys "stuck"
  in the guest to cause problems when you exit the mapper UI.
• Fixed code mistake that caused OpenGL NB output when dosbox.conf
  specified output=opengl
• Mapper layout fixes:
  • Shortcut buttons (on the right hand side of the UI) fixed to
    become two columns wide if the button text won't fit in one
    column.
  • Some shortcut button titles shortened.
• Mapper UI updated to show which bindings are being activated by
  hilighting buttons in the UI.
• Mapper UI modifier buttons indicate status through hilighting.
• Mapper UI joystick buttons and axes now use hilighting to indicate
  that there is input from the device.
• Mapper fix for 4-axis joysticks that may count zero buttons, and
  then crash (divide by zero) when the user pushes a button on the
  joystick device.

DOSBox-X release 2018-01-01 21:24

• output=opengl now triggers OpenGL not OpenGL NB

DOSBox-X release 2017-12-31 03:30

• BIOS now supports loading and executing a user-specified binary blob
  • At CPU reset, just before POST
  • Just before booting the DOS environment
• Mapper fixed to arrange buttons without cutting off the title, by making them longer if necessary
• Mapper now shows you visually which keyboard, joystick, and shortcut buttons are being triggered by hilighting them in the mapper UI
• Mapper now shows you joystick input by inverting or partially inverting the joystick buttons in the mapper UI
• A divide by zero issue has been fixed in joystick button emulation which may fix the known issue of crashing when pushing a joystick button. #319

DOSBox-X release 2017-12-30 12:00

• INTRO.COM fixed to use alternate character set in PC-98 mode (basic2004)
• keyboard emulation fixed up to support more keys than the handful initially implemented
• Notes on actual PC-98 scan codes, BIOS, and DOS behavior
• DOS CON driver updated to handle PC-98 function keys, BIOS codes, and convert to escape codes as seen on PC-98 hardware
• DOS shell fixed to respond to PC-98 escapes and respond (as close as possible) the way it would in the IBM PC mode. This includes arrow keys to scroll through history, editing, and recall (F3).
• Mapper UI bugfix. A mistake caused the mapper shortcuts to be placed TWICE in the UI (with the second instance covering half the keyboard).

DOSBox-X release 2017-12-28 11:59

• Removed non-recursive page fault option, it is always "on" now
• Removed dynamic x86 core, 32-bit builds no longer have "dynamic" core
• IRQ cascade cleanup and fixes
• BAT files given on DOSBox-X executable command line (from your host operating system) are now processed after registration of ULTRASND and BLASTER environment variables
• PC-98 DOS console emulation updated to decode Shift-JIS in CON driver instead of INT 10h hackaround
• PC-98 DOS console emulation fixed to recognize certain double-byte encodings that yield single-wide characters and print appropriately (including a range of proprietary JIS codes specific to the PC-98 that include box/line drawing characters).
• DOSBox shell welcome text fixed to display a proper box using box/line characters in PC-98 mode, instead of letting the IBM PC charset draw rows and columns of katakana. (basic2004)

DOSBox-X release 2017-12-25 v0.82.1 xmas with Program Files fix

• Fixed SDL 1.x entry code NOT to redirect stderr/stdout, which resolves crashes and hangs that occur when DOSBox-X is run from your system's Program Files directory.

DOSBox-X release 12-24-2017 Christmas Eve

Please note: This is NOT the latest release. GitHub is putting this one first before the latest for some reason, probably related to the git tag.

• IMGMOUNT now supports .HDI disk images. You can now directly mount most HDI images PC-98 games are distributed in to a drive letter.
• Disk image support can now handle both IBM PC MBR and PC-98 IPL partition tables.
• EMS page frame no longer strictly fixed to E000h. In PC-98 mode, the page frame is moved to D000h to avoid conflict with the EGC 4th bitplane at E000h.
• UMB fixed not to overlap with EMS page frame, which should help with some crashes.
• Windows builds now use a script to better automate these Windows releases.
