13 to /H0 on startup, and cc3go_dd which performs chd/chx to /DD on startup. |
1230 | 14 - The MD descriptor has been added to the LEVEL2/MODULES/RBF directory. |
1223 | 15 - A compatibility issue with os9gen's -t option and OS-9 Level One |
16 has been resolved. | |
17 | |
1196 | 18 OS-9 Level Two V03.01.03: |
1220 | 19 - The asm program now supports 6309 bitfield instructions. |
20 - The prompt command has been added to the standard command set. | |
1214 | 21 - os9gen now supports the -t= option which allows one to specify an |
22 alternate boot track file. | |
23 - Two new directories have been added: BOOTLISTS and BOOTSCRIPTS. | |
24 The former contains bootlist files for building boot disks, while | |
25 the latter contains scripts to build boot disks. | |
26 - There are now two booters for booting from a WD1773 based | |
27 floppy controller: boot_1773_6ms and boot_1773_30ms for | |
28 6 and 30 millisecond step rates. | |
29 - The M1 device descriptor now references the SACIA driver. | |
1196 | 30 - The help utility has been enhanced to show help subjects if |
31 forked without any command line parameters. | |
32 | |
1167 | 33 OS-9 Level Two V03.01.02: |

36 been added to the MODULES directory. | |
37 - The MODULES directory structure has been enhanced to include | |
38 multiple subdirectories for better module organization. | |
39 - Booter modules for Burke & Burke, Disto RAMPak, Eliminator and | |
40 IDE-LBA have been added. | |
41 - The BOOTLISTS/ directory has been added on the Modules disk, and | |
42 contains bootlist files for various configurations. | |
1167 | 43 - The cputype command has been optimized for size. |
44 - Slight performance modifications were made to RBF and SCF. | |
45 - More commands have been added to the merged utilpak1 file. | |
1191 | 46 - Minor help file updates have been made. |
1167 | 47 |
1136 | 48 OS-9 Level Two V03.01.01: |
1152 | 49 - SYS/helpmsg expanded to include new commands. |
1112 | 50 - ident now correctly reports modules with a language byte of Obj6309. |
1152 | 51 - rbf.mn has been back-ported from NitrOS-9 in order to unify the code base |
52 and bring non-6309 specific features to OS-9 Level Two. | |
1102 | 53 - A bug in IOMan which affected any driver wanting to access the port |
1152 | 54 address of its hardware via its path descriptor has been fixed. |
1042 | 55 - The montype command had a bug-fix and now shows the current monitor type if |
56 no parameters are given. Also, the montype.hp file has been updated. | |

Releases of all OS-9 packages are now under a common version number

|
62 - New common version among all releases of OS-9 for the CoCo |
998 | 63 - Many commands have been updated and optimized: |
64 o For size reasons, command help information is no longer embedded in the | |
65 utilites, but is instead available through the helpmsg file in /DD/SYS | |
66 o date, dir, mdir, procs and verify now require a dash (-) before options | |
67 o format now has a cluster option and now shows the correct number of | |
68 good sectors on large sector devices | |
69 o Numerous commands have been optimized for size | |
70 o cmp, error, help and touch have been rewritten in assembly for size | |
71 o copy has been enhanced to include OS-9/68K-like features | |
72 - VDGInt has been back-ported to OS-9 Level Two from NitrOS-9. The | |
73 vdgint.io module contains both CoCo 1/2 AND CoCo 3 graphics code. | |
74 The vdgint_small.io module only contains CoCo 3 graphics code. | |
75 - CC3Go has been moved back into the root directory from the CMDS directory. | |
76 This keeps ROM-based users and those who want cc3go in their bootfile from | |
77 having to change the init module, which referenced CMDS/cc3go. | |
78 - CC3Go once again references /H0 and /H0/CMDS as paths that it tries to | |
79 chd/chx to upon startup. This allows for those with floppy boots who | |
80 want to point /DD at their floppy to continue to do so. Also, if the | |
81 forking of 'shell startup' fails due to lack of a shell file, then | |
82 CC3Go will now try to fork AutoEx instead of jumping to the crash routine. | |
83 - Several bugs that crept into IOMan during the last release have been fixed. | |
84 | |
1136 | 85 OS-9 Level Two V02.01.00 Beta2: |
485 | 86 - Defs files now have properly terminated lines and 'pag' is now emitted |
87 as a comment. | |
739 | 88 - SCF, Rammer and PipeMan are now made from the NitrOS-9 version source base, |
89 bringing in new improvements and features from that platform. | |
90 - Clock and Clock2 are now unifed once again and are built from the same source | |
91 base as the clocks from NitrOS-9. | |
998 | 92 - The printer driver is now for the CoCo 3 serial port. In the previous |
93 release, it was mistakenly made for the Disto parallel port. | |
592 | 94 - ASM now assembles 6309 op-codes. |
623 | 95 - Window descriptors now have proper initialization count. |
739 | 96 - The debug program is now part of the CMDS package. |
97 - With the inclusion of NitrOS-9's SCF, a bug which crashed the system when | |
98 typing CTRL-E or CTRL-C while using shellplus has been fixed. |
