[Plex86-devel] Uploaded new tarball

[Eric Laberge]

Aloha!

I uploaded a new version of Plex86 to Savannah
( http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/plex86/ ,"Files" section)

Only a few tests done, so I need your feedback!
I hope to have multithreaded X lib bug solved within some days (haven't 
looked yet). Meanwhile, be prepared for major instability or simply use the 
SDL plugin :-)

Have fun!

>From the change log:
  - "Eric Laberge" <address@hidden>: Mon Jul 15 22:38:00 EST 2002
    Sync to current Bochs CVS (2002/07/14). No noticeable speed improvement
      but many fix! Thanks Bochs people and thanks to you Christophe for
      making this update so easy :-)
     - IO devices
     - GUI
     - BIOS & LGPL VGA BIOS

    Added IO sniffer plugin. This let you spy IO events.
     - To use, load the plugins/iosniffer/iosniffer.so plugin *before* those
       you want to spy, it overloads IO port registrations.

    Added the first version of a multithreaded IO bridge!
     - WARNING: GUI needs to be fixed due to poor Xlib multithread support.
                Sometime crashes with 'Xlib async' error, simply restart Plex.
     - NOTE: This plugin syncs on IO read events
     - No speed improvement on single processor machine (duh!), slower by less
       than a percent.
     - Can't test on multi processor machines, I don't have one...
     - My first multi-threaded app besides school, feedback and improvements
       are welcome :-)
     - To use, load the plugins/bridge/bridge.so plugin *before* those you
       want to run in the bridge thread.
