BeebEm 4.0 released

[Robert]

BBC Micro and Master 128 Emulator

 

Version 4.0 (Mike Wyatt, Rob O'Donnell, Steve Pick)

-----------

* Added clipboard functionality from the Mac port. Clipboard can be set as destination for printer output, copy and paste menu options for BASIC programs.

* Added file import/export for DFS disc images loaded into BeebEm. The exported files use the standard archive format where .INF files store the file attributes.

* Added support for disc, state and tape file specific preferences. When loading a file from the command line, running a disk image or loading a state file BeebEm will check for Preferences.cfg and Roms.cfg files in the same folder as the image file. This makes it easier to set up different preferences for different programs.

* Added ALT-ENTER keypress to toggle fullscreen mode.

* Creation of registry entries at installation:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BeebEm\InstallPath

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BeebEm\Version

* Reduced the tape control window size so it fits on a Netbook screen.

* Added Rob's IP options for serial port emulation. Allows connection via TCP/IP to local or remote IP address. Incoming connections can be supported via utilities such as tcpser.

* Debugger enhancements from Steve:

- User-defined breakpoints and watches.

- Break on BRK instruction.

- Support for loading VICE format label files, as generated by LD65 - this lets you use text labels in place of addresses in all debugger commands.

- Memory map file allows short descriptions for memory ranges. Debugger will use this to describe what location it's entered OS code at, or where the break landed.

- Commands to toggle various UI checkboxes.

- Command to echo a line of text to debugger output.

- Debugger commands can now be loaded from a script file specified on the BeebEm command line (with -DebugScript). Simple comments are also supported.

- Sanitized some code, added DisplayDebugInfoF(format, ...) to output formatted debugging info, sprintf() style.

- Beautified the debugging UI a bit.
