[B2-devel] SheepShaver snapshot (2004/02/24)

[Gwenole B. <gb...@di...>]

Hi,

Here is the announcement I sent to comp.emulators.misc. Remaining bits
prior to a formal release would include runtime depth switching from B2
and fixes for DGA displays + other ports. Possibly ethernet too, but I am
still not satisfied with the current fixes.

Note that you no longer needs the -hacks patch, as I finally committed
another variant for now. That should make it more user-friendly to build &
get something working with MacOS 8.6 out-of-the-box. ;-)

* What's new from previous test release?
- Improved generic JIT, also now translates FPU instructions
- AltiVec emulation, thus enabling the PVR to match a 7400 (G4)
- Partial port to Darwin/PPC, i.e. it runs but some features may be
missing
