v0.1.6

What's Changed

• Changes in Dynarec to make flags optimizations before CALL and RET opcode less aggressive.
• Added a Vulkan wrapper.
• Improved wrapping of SDL_mixer/ SDL2_mixer libraries.
• Improved wrapping of some GTK structures.
• Added a quick and dirty wrapping of GTK3 (based on current GTK2).

• Fixed some wrapped printf formating not handled correctly.
• Fixed some buserror with the new LOCK mecanism handling.

• Even more opcodes added.
• And some more Dynarec opcodes.
• Fixed some issue were PltResolver was injected but should not be.
• Fixed many Dynarec and non dynarec opcodes.
• Improved Signal handling.
• Added a few more wrapped libraries (like curl).
• Gallium9 is now wrapped (thx @icecream95).
• Fixed and simplied many wrapped functions (especialy the one where a callback is involved).
• Fixed Dynarec "freeing" a Dynablock sometimes causing a corruption of the heap (generally happens in case of JIT code).
• Optimized the way LOCK prefix work when using Dynarec on ARM.
• improvements to the ARM opcode Printer (for dumping Dynarec blocks) improvement (thx @rajdakin).

v0.1.2

What's Changed

• The Dynarec now handle JIT code
• Added support for Unity games (not perfect yet).
• Added support for Wine (not perfect yet). You need an x86 build of Wine to use it.
• Added support for Steam (not perfect yet). Note that Steam have limited functionalities on 32bits (only mini-mode is available).
• More wrapped libs
• Added support for the "PltResolver". This makes the order of libraries less important and many symbols are now resolved at runtime.
• Added an option to build Box86 as a library (to wrap dynamic library).
• Better Signal handling (not perfect yet).
• More opcodes added, more opcode fixes.
• More Dynarec opcodes.
• Added support for FS:, and creating custom selector (needed by Wine).
• There is now 1 x86emu_t structure per thread (simplifying/optimising many callback handling).
• Box86 now has a logo!
• Added options handling (only version and help for now). Now it's much usefull exept for version printing.

v0.1.0

What's Changed

• Preliminary signal handling.
• Fixes to SDL(1/2) Image and SDL1 Mixer, and to SDL1.2 RWops usage.

v0.0.4

• Improved the initialisation of dependent libraries. More things work now.
• Added a lot of wrapped functions.
• Added a few wrapped libraries (like libz or some other x11 related library).
• For trace enabled build, Trace can be enabled only after a certain amount of opcodes (still, a debugger would be better).
• Some fixes in a few opcodes, and implemented x87 rounding (SuperMeatBoy behaves better now).
• FTL 1.6.9 still has corrupted music, but older 1.5.13 seems fine (different set of libraries).

v0.0.2

• A full commercial games runs fine on the Pandora platform: Airline Tycoon Deluxe.
• Implemented all planned subparts of Box86 except JIT support.
• CPU Emulation is at roughly 75%. This includes x87 and SSE/SSE2. MMX is barely implemented (but barely used anyway).
• x87 emulation is simplified, no real x87 State handling (but should not be mandatory, as the native libm library is used)
• No Signal handling yet
• ELF Loader is crude and probably full of bugs. Also, the initialisation of libraries are defered after all symbols are resolved for now.
• Wrapped libraries include libc, libm, rt, pthread, libdl, dllinux, libasound, GL, GLU, SDL1/mixer/image, SDL2/mixer/image/smpeg, OpenAL/ALUT, libz, libpng16, vorbisfile, x11/xrandr/xxf86vm.
• Most wrapped libraries are still partially implemented ( the SDL1 & GL libraries should be complete).
• Implemented specific mecanism for SDL(1/2) RWops, to be able to used them both in Native and x86 world.
• WorldOfGoo works, but is painfully slow on the Pandora platform (there is too much double math, and lack of JIT).
• FTL works, but sound is broken (issue with thread? asound? or CPU core?)
• Limbo launches but crashes before main menu.
