[Bochs-announce] New pre-release : Bochs-2.1.pre3

[Christophe B. <cb...@fr...>]

Hi,

First of all, please let me wish you all a happy new year !

I just released Bochs2.1.pre3, as a source tarball,
i386 and source rpm packages, win32 binary and VC++ source 
packages, and the win32 installer. The files are available
in the file section of our project pages on sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12580

Changes since pre2 include :
- new disassembler from Stanislav
- patch #850236: fixed direct device access to DVDs on win32
- patch #847822: Bochs crash when examining memory that crosses 
  page boundary
- fixes for compiling with VC++
- patches #856506 and #856510 partially applied: fix compiling 
  iodev/cd-rom.cc on MacOS/X
- streching simulation window disabled on win32
- BIOS patch #707931: INT 16h function 05h implemented
- sb16 mixer and OPL3 updates
- real gameport access implemented for win32 and linux platforms
- ne2k loopback mode fixes
- fixes for bug #865354: ">>PANIC<< CRA: divider chain control 0x07" 
  in Linux 1.1
- configuration file and documentation updates
- MacOS/X optimizations and compilation fixes
- optimization on memory accesses
- new nsis2.0rc1 win32 installer script
- legacy VBE ioports are enabled when usb is disabled

This should be the last pre-release of Bochs 2.1, so 
please give it a try, and report problems. 

Thanks,
