RPCemu v0.8.7 Changelog:
Changes in this build

This release contains lots of updates to the networking support; as such a new section to the manual has been written explaining how to setup networking on Linux and Windows:

The support for RISC OS 5 has changed a fair amount since the last release. Please see the updated documentation here:

* Windows
o Added networking support using 'bridged' network style (Leo Smiers); works with the win32 TAP interface (from the QEMU project) and uses the OpenVPN TUN/TAP drivers.
o Two fixes have reduced the likelihood of encountering a crash when using fullscreen mode.
* Linux and Windows
o Network GUI: a GUI to assist in configuring the network settings is available. For more details see the Networking section of the manual mentioned above.
* All Platforms
o A considerable number of fixes to the accuracy of HostFS as a RISC OS filing system.
o Add support for .iso image files that are > 2GiB in size. Previously some of the data would have been inaccessible.
o Added suport for the scrollwheel on PS/2 mouse emulation; this only works with the ARM7500 or ARM7500FE (A7000 and A7000+ are the only hardware with PS2 mouse ports). Also requires RISC OS support from RISC OS Select (not present on earlier versions) and for you not to be using 'Follow Host Mouse'.
o Improved emulation of the I2C bus and Real Time Clock. Allows RISC OS 5.17 RTC autodetection to work. (Based on code by Jochen Karrer from the Softgun project).
o 'Follow Host Mouse' is now 32-bit compliant and working on RISC OS 5 (Timothy Coltman)
o Configure script for source compilation on 'Unix' systems no longer stops if it's not Linux.
o Significant refactoring of code, particularly mouse handling sections, SWI handling and Networking.
