| 84 go into .89Mhz mode when formatting to get around a problem with some | |
| 85 CoCo 3's crashing during format. | |
| 86 - An issue with formatting 3.5" 720K disks has been resolved. | |
| 87 | |
| 88 Level 1 Only: | |

| 269 - More commands have been added to the merged utilpak1 file. | |
| 270 | |

| 272 | |
| 2170 | 273 OS-9 V3.1.1: |
| 2150 | 274 |
| 275 - SYS/helpmsg expanded to include new commands. | |
| 276 - ident now correctly reports modules with a language byte of Obj6309. | |
| 277 - The LogBook file in the SYS directory has been removed. | |
| 278 - A bug in the cputype command that caused crashing on a 6809 system | |
| 279 has been fixed. | |
| 280 | |
| 281 Level 2 Only: | |
| 282 - rbf.mn has been back-ported from NitrOS-9 in order to unify the code base | |
| 283 and bring non-6309 specific features to OS-9 Level Two. | |
| 284 - A bug in IOMan which affected any driver wanting to access the port | |
| 285 address of its hardware via its path descriptor has been fixed. | |
| 286 - The montype command had a bug-fix and now shows the current monitor type if | |
| 287 no parameters are given. Also, the montype.hp file has been updated. | |
| 288 | |

| 290 | |
| 2170 | 291 OS-9 V3.1.0: |
| 2150 | 292 |
| 293 - New common version among all releases of OS-9 for the CoCo | |
| 294 - Many commands have been updated and optimized: | |
| 295 o For size reasons, command help information is no longer embedded in the | |
| 296 utilites, but is instead available through the helpmsg file in /DD/SYS | |
| 297 o date, dir, mdir, procs and verify now require a dash (-) before options | |
| 298 o format now has a cluster option and now shows the correct number of | |
| 299 good sectors on large sector devices | |
| 300 o Numerous commands have been optimized for size | |
| 301 o cputype, ded, devs, disasm, dmode and irqs have been added to the | |
| 302 CMDS directory | |
| 303 o cmp, error, help and touch have been rewritten in assembly for size | |
| 304 o copy has been enhanced to include OS-9/68K-like features | |
| 305 | |
| 306 Level 2 Only: | |
| 307 - VDGInt has been back-ported to OS-9 Level Two from NitrOS-9. The | |
| 308 vdgint.io module contains both CoCo 1/2 AND CoCo 3 graphics code. | |
| 309 The vdgint_small.io module only contains CoCo 3 graphics code. | |
| 310 - CC3Go has been moved back into the root directory from the CMDS directory. | |
| 311 This keeps ROM-based users and those who want cc3go in their bootfile from | |
| 312 having to change the init module, which referenced CMDS/cc3go. | |
| 313 - CC3Go once again references /H0 and /H0/CMDS as paths that it tries to | |
| 314 chd/chx to upon startup. This allows for those with floppy boots who | |
| 315 want to point /DD at their floppy to continue to do so. Also, if the | |
| 316 forking of 'shell startup' fails due to lack of a shell file, then | |
| 317 CC3Go will now try to fork AutoEx instead of jumping to the crash routine. | |
| 318 - Several bugs that crept into IOMan during the last release have been fixed. | |
| 319 | |
| 320 ------------------------------------------------------ | |
| 321 | |
| 322 OS-9 V02.01.00 'Phoenix' Release (11/04/2002): | |
| 323 | |
| 324 - Defs files now have properly terminated lines and 'pag' is now emitted | |
| 325 as a comment. | |
| 326 - ASM now assembles 6309 op-codes | |
| 327 | |
| 328 Level 1 Only: | |
| 329 - SYS/password now references /DD instead of /D0 | |
| 330 | |
| 331 Level 2 Only: | |
| 332 - SCF, Rammer and PipeMan are now made from the NitrOS-9 version source base, | |
| 333 bringing in new improvements and features from that platform. | |
| 334 - Clock and Clock2 are now unifed once again and are built from the same source | |
| 335 base as the clocks from NitrOS-9. | |
| 336 - The printer driver is now for the CoCo 3 serial port. In the previous | |
| 337 release, it was mistakenly made for the Disto parallel port. | |
| 338 - Window descriptors now have proper initialization count. | |
| 339 - The debug program is now part of the CMDS package. | |
| 340 - With the inclusion of NitrOS-9's SCF, a bug which crashed the system when | |
| 341 typing CTRL-E or CTRL-C while using shellplus has been fixed. | |
