Notes:

Choose the right package for your operating system and computer architecture:

 

etch.deb package for Debian Etch

cygwin for MS Windows

ps3 for Playstation3

tar.gz is the source archive

Changes:

2009/04/25 - version 0.9.8beta released

 

o CPU: fixed TRAPcc and FTRAPcc instructions (for Guillaume's mplayer

o VIDEL: pixel precise horizontal scrolling implemented

o fixed BUSY signal handling on the parallel port

o fixed mouse grab/ungrab/autograb (see below)

o added new ARAnyM mouse cursor (white arrow)

o added middle mouse button handling (in Eiffel mode)

o added suport for reversing mouse Y-axis in IKBD (used in Linux-m68k)

o fixed many DSP56001 instructions

o fixed NFJPEG on 64bit hosts

o fixed several NF drivers to work under FreeMiNT (not rely on __NF cookie)

o buggy JIT-FPU was disabled. Now FPU is precise though slower in JIT mode

 

Mouse grab/ungrab/autograb has changed: first, ungrabbing when leaving

ARAnyM window was fixed (issue with autograb on the window border).

Then, ARAnyM got a new mouse cursor (white one) so you can recognize

now when the mouse is grabbed (the cursor pointer is black in TOS)

and when it's not (the cursor pointer is white now).

At last, mouse autograb upon entering ARAnyM window was disabled until

we can ensure the Atari mouse cursor is positioned in sync with host

mouse cursor (will require Atari OS support, probably in a form

of aranym.acc and AES implementing appl_tplay).

Also the "AutoGrabMouse" config option has been removed.
