DOSBox-X v2023.09.01

DOSBox-X v2023.09.01 is released. DOSBox-x is a branch of DOSBox. DOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound, graphics, mouse, joystick, modem, etc., necessary for running many old MS-DOS games that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux and FreeBSD.

DOSBox-X Changelog:
Disable by default message confirmation after snapshot and AVI video
capture, but leave the option there for those who want to enable it (joncampbell123).
Remove "LOG: Logging output has been disabled." output when -nolog
is specified on the command line (joncampbell123).
Fix stuck Ins key problems by fixing a typo in src/ints/bios_keyboard.cpp.
The code is supposed to clear the "Ins key down" flag, but instead cleared
all bits EXCEPT "Ins key down" (joncampbell123).
NE2000 macaddr default is now "random", which instructs the NE2000
hardware at startup to pick a random MAC address. (joncampbell123).
IPX: If NE2000 and IPX are enabled, and an IPX tunneling connection is
active, and the user boots a guest OS, switch on a mode where all IPX
packets going to and coming from the guest are re-routed through the
IPX tunnel instead of to the NE2000 ethernet backend. This feature
makes it possible to play IPX-based games in a guest OS like MS-DOS
and Windows 95. (joncampbell123).
IPX: Add extension to server to allow clients to register their own
MAC address instead of using the default MAC address given by their
IP address and port number. The extension is designed so that if DOSBox-X
is a client to another DOSBox fork's IPX tunneling server, it will
be ignored and DOSBox-X will get the usual MAC address instead. This
extension is required for guest OSes to be able to use the IPX protocol
through the NE2000 card given upcoming code changes as they normally
use the network card MAC address when picking an IPX address because
the IPX interface is not available once booted into a guest OS. (joncampbell123).
IPX client: If both IPX and NE2000 emulation are enabled, IPX emulation
will use the NE2000 card's MAC address instead. It will use the IPX
server DOSBox-X extension to try. If it doesn't work, then the normal
MAC address assignment is accepted without complaint. (joncampbell123).
NE2000: Add "nothing" backend. It receives nothing and send packets go
nowhere. If no other backend is available, this backend is a fallback
so that at least the NE2000 emulation can work. The other purpose of
a nothing callback is to give NE2000 something to talk to for those
who wish to use the upcoming IPX packet redirection to link DOS and
Windows games over the IPX client or server connection to other
instances of DOSBox. (joncampbell123)
Added record function to capture NE2000 network traffic to a
pcap/Wireshark file in the capture directory. (joncampbell123)
Fixed bug where guest VM reset causes the CMOS to stop ticking for
exactly the amount of time it was running before reset. (joncampbell123)
Added alarm interrupt function to RTC CMOS emulation (joncampbell123)
Reverted DOS to using the BIOS_DATA tick count for time and the cached
copy of date it keeps internally, rather than always calling INT 1Ah.
It turns out that is how DOS actually behaves, which is also why it is
possible for the DOS and CMOS RTC to diverge. Fix CMOS emulation to
allow get/set time and to run in emulation time, not real time, though
the clock starts from the host time. (joncampbell123)
Fixed VHD disk image calculation of footer position and, thus, of newly
allocated block position. (maxpat78)
Enhanced Dynamic and Differencing VHD support #4273 (maxpat78)
Imported IBM Music Feature Card support from DOSBox Staging. (Allofich)
Fix IMGMAKE large size image error on MinGW builds (maron2000)
Set usescancodes=true when non-US keyboards are detected. (Linux / MacOS
builds) (maron2000)
Fix day of week detection (INT 21h function 0x2Ah). (maron2000)
Refine KEYB and CHCP command (maron2000)
Use segment descriptor's big flag (if present) when disassembling code in
the debugger code view (cimarronm)
Add decoding of rdmsr/wrmsr instructions to disassembler (cimarronm)
Fix disassembly for far jmp/call decoding (cimarronm)
Fix memory limits on expand-down segment descriptors (cimarronm)
Bump tinyfiledialog to ver 3.13.3 (maron2000)
Fix mouse column limit on text mode (issue #4353) (maron2000)
Fix Blocek launching failure (issue #4385) (maron2000)
Bump in-tree FreeType library to ver 2.13.1 (maron2000)
Enable debugger function for MinGW builds (maron2000)
