uBee512 4.5.0 released

[staticmem]

uBee512 v4.5.0

 

An emulator for the Microbee Z80 ROM, FDD and HDD based microcomputers.

 

New for this release:

* Added automatic creation of the ROMs MD5 file (roms.md5.auto) for ROMs found in the default location. Users should rename the old 'roms.md5' file to 'roms.md5.user' if a manually created MD5 file is required.

* Added --md5-create option to force the creation of the 'roms.md5.auto' file to replace the existing one. Normally 'roms.md5.auto' will only be created when it is not found or a later ubee512 version is run for the first time.

* Added --bpclr option to clear a debugging break point.

* Added SLAX package to the distribution packages.

 

Changes:

* Removed roms.md5 from the distribution as this file is now auto generated.

* Changes to roms.alias.sample (notes)

* Added 'remote' disk type macros to ubee512rc.sample.

 

Fixed:

* Fixed problems with sector ID, read and write functions failing because of unsupported functions in the driver type in use. The changes will make use of an alternative function appropriate for the driver to be used instead. This has fixed issues when using the 'raw' and 'remote' driver as an input and possibly other driver types when using the LibDsk interface.

* Fixed an issue when attempting to use LibDsk's 'remote' driver. The fix should allow the file name specification to work when it does not point to an actual file, this should also apply to the 'rcpmfs' driver. (not tested) Fixed account creation to correctly report when a ROMs alias configuration file has been created.
