OS-9 Level Two V03.01.05: - VDGInt now works properly with 1MB and 2MB CoCo 3s. - A new utility, padrom, has been added to the standard commands. - Merge now supports -z to get a list of files from standard input. - CC3Go has been renamed to SysGo. - The clock module has been divided into two modules: clock and clock2. clock_60hz and clock_50hz support 60Hz and 50Hz power configurations. clock2 contains code specific to a real-time clock or software clock. - os9p1 and os9p2 have now been back-ported from NitrOS-9 Level Two. - ioman has undergone small optimizations to work better with the new back-ported kernel. - keydrv and snddrv have been renamed to keydrv_cc3.sb and snddrv_cc3.sb, and all relevant bootlist files have been changed. - SCF now utilizes the V$DRIVEX field in the device table, resulting in faster calls to the driver and a reduction in code size. - The MDir utility now shows proper module revision of 0 and other minor improvements in extended output. OS-9 Level Two V03.01.04: - rel has been back-ported from NitrOS-9 Level Two, adding 40 and 80 column boot screen options. - asm is now at edition 8 and includes the following fixes/additions: o Symbols now allow underscores. o The "parens error" bug has been fixed. o Added support for case-sensitive symbols with the U option flag. o Improved 4-digit year fix for date/time string. o Automatic conversion of tabs to spaces on input. - A bug accidentally introduced into os9gen related to boot track on double-sided disks has been fixed. - The directory structure of the Modules disk has been modified. All modules and related files are now under the LEVEL2 directory. - There are now two versions of cc3go: cc3go_h0 which performs chd/chx to /H0 on startup, and cc3go_dd which performs chd/chx to /DD on startup. - The MD descriptor has been added to the LEVEL2/MODULES/RBF directory. - A compatibility issue with os9gen's -t option and OS-9 Level One has been resolved. OS-9 Level Two V03.01.03: - The asm program now supports 6309 bitfield instructions. - The prompt command has been added to the standard command set. - os9gen now supports the -t= option which allows one to specify an alternate boot track file. - Two new directories have been added: BOOTLISTS and BOOTSCRIPTS. The former contains bootlist files for building boot disks, while the latter contains scripts to build boot disks. - There are now two booters for booting from a WD1773 based floppy controller: boot_1773_6ms and boot_1773_30ms for 6 and 30 millisecond step rates. - The M1 device descriptor now references the SACIA driver. - The help utility has been enhanced to show help subjects if forked without any command line parameters. OS-9 Level Two V03.01.02: - A bug in the help utility has been fixed. - Drivers and descriptors for Tandy's Hard Disk Interface have been added to the MODULES directory. - The MODULES directory structure has been enhanced to include multiple subdirectories for better module organization. - Booter modules for Burke & Burke, Disto RAMPak, Eliminator and IDE-LBA have been added. - The BOOTLISTS/ directory has been added on the Modules disk, and contains bootlist files for various configurations. - The cputype command has been optimized for size. - Slight performance modifications were made to RBF and SCF. - More commands have been added to the merged utilpak1 file. - Minor help file updates have been made. OS-9 Level Two V03.01.01: - SYS/helpmsg expanded to include new commands. - ident now correctly reports modules with a language byte of Obj6309. - rbf.mn has been back-ported from NitrOS-9 in order to unify the code base and bring non-6309 specific features to OS-9 Level Two. - A bug in IOMan which affected any driver wanting to access the port address of its hardware via its path descriptor has been fixed. - The montype command had a bug-fix and now shows the current monitor type if no parameters are given. Also, the montype.hp file has been updated. - The LogBook file in the SYS directory has been removed. - A bug in the cputype command that caused crashing on a 6809 system has been fixed. OS-9 Level Two V03.01.00: - New common version among all releases of OS-9 for the CoCo - Many commands have been updated and optimized: o For size reasons, command help information is no longer embedded in the utilites, but is instead available through the helpmsg file in /DD/SYS o date, dir, mdir, procs and verify now require a dash (-) before options o format now has a cluster option and now shows the correct number of good sectors on large sector devices o Numerous commands have been optimized for size o cmp, error, help and touch have been rewritten in assembly for size o copy has been enhanced to include OS-9/68K-like features - VDGInt has been back-ported to OS-9 Level Two from NitrOS-9. The vdgint.io module contains both CoCo 1/2 AND CoCo 3 graphics code. The vdgint_small.io module only contains CoCo 3 graphics code. - CC3Go has been moved back into the root directory from the CMDS directory. This keeps ROM-based users and those who want cc3go in their bootfile from having to change the init module, which referenced CMDS/cc3go. - CC3Go once again references /H0 and /H0/CMDS as paths that it tries to chd/chx to upon startup. This allows for those with floppy boots who want to point /DD at their floppy to continue to do so. Also, if the forking of 'shell startup' fails due to lack of a shell file, then CC3Go will now try to fork AutoEx instead of jumping to the crash routine. - Several bugs that crept into IOMan during the last release have been fixed. OS-9 Level Two V02.01.00 Beta2: - Defs files now have properly terminated lines and 'pag' is now emitted as a comment. - SCF, Rammer and PipeMan are now made from the NitrOS-9 version source base, bringing in new improvements and features from that platform. - Clock and Clock2 are now unifed once again and are built from the same source base as the clocks from NitrOS-9. - The printer driver is now for the CoCo 3 serial port. In the previous release, it was mistakenly made for the Disto parallel port. - ASM now assembles 6309 op-codes. - Window descriptors now have proper initialization count. - The debug program is now part of the CMDS package. - With the inclusion of NitrOS-9's SCF, a bug which crashed the system when typing CTRL-E or CTRL-C while using shellplus has been fixed.
