1220 | 2 - The asm program now supports 6309 bitfield instructions. |
3 - The prompt command has been added to the standard command set. | |
1214 | 4 - os9gen now supports the -t= option which allows one to specify an |

7 The former contains bootlist files for building boot disks, while | |
8 the latter contains scripts to build boot disks. | |
9 - There are now two booters for booting from a WD1773 based | |
10 floppy controller: boot_1773_6ms and boot_1773_30ms for | |
11 6 and 30 millisecond step rates. | |
12 - The M1 device descriptor now references the SACIA driver. | |
1196 | 13 - The help utility has been enhanced to show help subjects if |
14 forked without any command line parameters. | |

1112 | 33 - ident now correctly reports modules with a language byte of Obj6309. |
1152 | 34 - rbf.mn has been back-ported from NitrOS-9 in order to unify the code base |
35 and bring non-6309 specific features to OS-9 Level Two. | |

1152 | 37 address of its hardware via its path descriptor has been fixed. |

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

|
45 - New common version among all releases of OS-9 for the CoCo |
998 | 46 - Many commands have been updated and optimized: |
47 o For size reasons, command help information is no longer embedded in the | |
48 utilites, but is instead available through the helpmsg file in /DD/SYS | |
49 o date, dir, mdir, procs and verify now require a dash (-) before options | |
50 o format now has a cluster option and now shows the correct number of | |
51 good sectors on large sector devices | |
52 o Numerous commands have been optimized for size | |
53 o cmp, error, help and touch have been rewritten in assembly for size | |
54 o copy has been enhanced to include OS-9/68K-like features | |
55 - VDGInt has been back-ported to OS-9 Level Two from NitrOS-9. The | |
56 vdgint.io module contains both CoCo 1/2 AND CoCo 3 graphics code. | |
57 The vdgint_small.io module only contains CoCo 3 graphics code. | |
58 - CC3Go has been moved back into the root directory from the CMDS directory. | |
59 This keeps ROM-based users and those who want cc3go in their bootfile from | |
60 having to change the init module, which referenced CMDS/cc3go. | |
61 - CC3Go once again references /H0 and /H0/CMDS as paths that it tries to | |
62 chd/chx to upon startup. This allows for those with floppy boots who | |
63 want to point /DD at their floppy to continue to do so. Also, if the | |
64 forking of 'shell startup' fails due to lack of a shell file, then | |
65 CC3Go will now try to fork AutoEx instead of jumping to the crash routine. | |
66 - Several bugs that crept into IOMan during the last release have been fixed. | |
67 | |
1136 | 68 OS-9 Level Two V02.01.00 Beta2: |
485 | 69 - Defs files now have properly terminated lines and 'pag' is now emitted |
70 as a comment. | |
739 | 71 - SCF, Rammer and PipeMan are now made from the NitrOS-9 version source base, |
72 bringing in new improvements and features from that platform. | |
73 - Clock and Clock2 are now unifed once again and are built from the same source | |
74 base as the clocks from NitrOS-9. | |
998 | 75 - The printer driver is now for the CoCo 3 serial port. In the previous |
76 release, it was mistakenly made for the Disto parallel port. | |
592 | 77 - ASM now assembles 6309 op-codes. |
623 | 78 - Window descriptors now have proper initialization count. |
739 | 79 - The debug program is now part of the CMDS package. |
80 - With the inclusion of NitrOS-9's SCF, a bug which crashed the system when | |
81 typing CTRL-E or CTRL-C while using shellplus has been fixed. |
