Brief summary of changes:
- More than 10% CPU emulation speedup !
- Support for AMD's SVM hardware emulation (including extended XAPIC support).
- Implemented support for new x86 ISA extensions.
Bochs is fully aligned with rev043 of Intel(R) Architecture Manual.
- Improved emulation accuracy (critical fixes for APIC, VMX and AVX/XOP emulation).
- Bochs internal debugger: new command to show state of a device from the debugger.
- ROM BIOS: improved PCI boot ROM support (for VGA and other devices)
- Networking:
- Ported Intel(R) 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet adapter emulation from Qemu.
- Added PCI network boot ROM support to all network adapters.
- Added TFTP support to the 'slirp' networking module.
- Harddrive: added support for VirtualPC disk images, fixed sparse disk images.
- Sound:
- implemented PC speaker beep using the lowlevel sound interface.
- SDL audio output support.
- Added ability to set log action per device from .bochsrc.
- Moved disk imaging, networking, sound and USB devices to subdirectories
in the iodev folder.
Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator
written in C++, that runs on most popular platforms. It includes
emulation of the Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom
BIOS. Currently, Bochs can be compiled to emulate a 386, 486,
Pentium/PentiumII/PentiumIII/Pentium4 or x86-64 CPU, including optional
MMX, SSEx and 3DNow! instructions. Bochs is capable of running
most Operating Systems inside the emulation, for example Linux, DOS,
Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP or Windows Vista.... read more

Bochs is a portable x86 PC emulation software package that emulates enough of the x86 CPU, related AT hardware, and BIOS to run Windows, Linux, *BSD, Minix, and other OS's, all on your workstation. It's been nearly one year since the last stable release:
We have improved the accuracy of the simulation in many ways, notably in the cpu, fpu, and vga areas; 3DNow! and PNI instructions are now supported, and Bochs includes a new disassembler that supports all IA-32 instruction sets; On the I/O devices side, Bochs now provides experimental PCI VGA and USB cards, 16550A uarts and gameport emulation; New types of disk image can be used as harddisks: stackable, commitable or growing. Bochs can also use VMWare 3 cow disk images; Sdl, x11, win32 and wxwindows display libraries now support 15, 16, 24 and 32 bpp color depth, and the x11 vga font is not needed any more.... read more
It's been a busy 6 months since our previous release! Bochs is now running about twice as fast as version 1.4.1. Also, we can now emulate MMX, SSE/SSE2, and even AMD x86-64 instructions if you turn on the appropriate configure options. We also added two new graphical interfaces, SVGALIB and wxWindows. The wxWindows interface lets you edit all bochsrc options in a graphical form. Macintosh users will be happy to find binaries for MacOSX and MacOS9. Also we now support plugins for several platforms and cleaned up and improved the documentation.... read more
March 27, 2002: Bochs 1.4 is the latest release of the Bochs x86 Emulator. This version delivers features that many people have been wishing for: booting from a CDROM, VESA BIOS Extensions, improved networking, keyboard mapping for non-US keyboards, and a working serial port. You'll also notice several new buttons on the GUI, copy, paste, and snapshot, which let you copy text between the system clipboard and the Bochs screen. And we have a new cross-platform interface using a library called SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer).... read more
The Bochs x86 Emulator project has gone from very inactive only a few months ago to very active recently. Bochs is a portable 386/486/Pentium/PPro emulator that allows you to run most x86 operating systems in emulation. Some people use it to run other OSes without repartitioning or rebooting, for example running Windows applications from FreeBSD, or to run x86 operating systems on non-x86 hardware. Bochs is also popular among OS developers since they can step through emulated kernel code in the Bochs debugger without leaving their development environment, and has been used as an educational tool in university classes on OS design.... read more
On 5/10/2001 the Bochs project was listed as the 10th most active project on all of SourceForge for the week! We've had lots of visitors since Kevin redirected www.bochs.com traffic to the new site.
Anyone who hasn't seen the new Bochs Homepage at http://bochs.sourceforge.net should go look immediately. It's great! Click on "Home Page" or type the address and then bookmark it. :) Thank you Tim for getting this launched.
I'm experimenting with the "Tasks" section of the site, to see if it will be useful for us. If you see a task that would interest you, let me know. Many more ideas for tasks can be found in the bugs and feature requests trackers.... read more
