A very important release, containing ~200 patches.
- Portability work: ported to aarch64, including MacOS, Android.
- Implemented HMA memory manager, and lots of work done on a more
aggressive HMA usage. Unfortunately dosemu2 disabled HMA support
by default in a mean time. - Lots of SHARE fixes.
- Fixed nasty RTC bug (prehistoric2 had problems because of it)
- Fixed stack switching on int21 calls (vlm now works)
- Fixed stack switching on int24
- Added a config.sys syntax for referencing drives created at run-time:
CHAIN=%0\userhook.sys can be used if the host platform supplies the
meaning of %0 (other digits are possible) at the right time. - Added a config.sys syntax for conditional loading:
device=?0c:\bin\nansi.sys can be used if the host platform supplies
the value of ?0 (other digits are possible) via boot protocol. - Fix to support multiple CHAIN directives
- "Get extended free drive space" function can now use redirector
extensions to properly report space on much larger partitions. - Fixes to volume labels support.
- Added handlers for GP and SS exceptions.
- clang-16 support
- Lots of bug fixes.
