What's Changed

=> Linux Games can now load even on a 16K pagesize machine like a mac M1, and games (including Unity3D ones) can be played with no issues.
=> Hack to enable Vulkan driver on Wine/WOW64 games to allocate 32bits compatible memory, allowing dxvk on 32bits games.
=> RiSC-V can run more linux games. Game on Wine are still a bit slow, and dxvk still have issues
=> Loongarch dynarec! Linux games are running, and with good speed, especialy on 3A6000 platforms. Games on Wine are not working yet due to 16k pagesize limitation
=> BIGBLOCK 2 and 3 combined with CALLRET can be used on more software now and can gives some good speed boosts.

  • Wrapping: More libs and function wrapping (gtk3, vulkan...)
  • Reworked X11 Callback handling, for better stability
  • Reworked exit and the load/unload of libs and symbol resolution
  • Some more profiles in box64rc
  • Better way to rename executable (including wine ones) so driver like mesa can apply the correct profile
  • Reworked memory managment in the Dynarec, limiting amount of dynamic allocation
  • Improved memory tracking and managment. Also introduce BOX64_MMAP32 to force 32bits compatible mmap for external libs (like mesa)
  • Reworked memory managment in the Dynarec, limiting amount of dynamic allocation
  • Lots of improvments in x87 handling (virtual stack, rounding, ffree, etc.)
  • Dynarec: ARM64 some opcodes optimisation, especialy shift and rotation ones
  • Dynarec: RV64 lots of opcoded added. =>
  • Dynarec: Added Loogarch backend! Note that Loongarch are 16K pagesize platform by default.
  • Dynarec: Better handling of large block in the dynarec
  • Dynarec: Lots of improvments and fixes to BOX86_DYNAREC_CALLRET optimisation.

What's Changed

  • Added a hacked version for overriden malloc/free functions, enabling libcef (and derivative) to work.
    => Steam Large mode and new BigPicture are working
    => Heroic Launcher is working
  • Added rcfile handling: box64 now read /etc/box64.box64rc and ~/.box64rc and apply per process parameters
    => Every program can be finetuned, for speed or just to make them work
  • Added BOX64_DYNAREC_CALLRET to optimized CALL/RET opcode using semi-direct native CALL/RET (get more than 10% speedup)
  • Added BOX64_DYNAREC_FORWARD to allow bigger Dynarec block to be build (can get more then 30% of Speedup!)
  • Improved memory protection tracking and signal handling, again
  • Box64 now return a custom name for the CPU instal of P4, build with Box64 and the cpu name it's running on
  • Simplified mutex handling (faster, cleaner)
  • Reduce memory used by the memory tracking (memory almost divide by 4 is some critical use case)
  • Added d3dadapter9 wrapping
    => gallium nine is now supported on box64 too
  • More wrapped libs (especially on the gtk familly)
  • Improved/fixed some Syscall handling
  • Refactored Strong Memory Model emulation (faster and more accurate)
  • Added some more opcode to ARM64 Dynarec, and fixed some other
  • Some fixes to flags handling in the Dynarec on some special cases
  • Refactor library loading/unloading, with refcount.
  • Some special cases fixes for dlopen (fixes deadcells, maybe others too)
  • Improved mmap mapping, espcially with MAP_32BITS flag
  • More wrapped functions and syscalls
  • Lots of improvment in the Rounding of float & double (Dynarec and Interpretor), and proper handling of denormals when converting to/from 80 bits long double
  • Added specific suppport for RK3588 board (needed some hack in signal handling, probably due to the use of a non mainlined kernel)
  • More support on the RV64 port
  • More support to build under musl environment

  • Improved elf loader
  • Improved dlsym handling with RTLD_NEXT
  • Added BOX64_DYNAREC_SAFEFLAGS to allow finetuning Dynarec generated code handling of flags accross function calls and returns.

  • Added BOX64_ROLLING_LOG to have details log only on crash
  • Work on alignment for some of pthread structures
  • More wrapped libraries in the gtk family
  • Some fixes on the Dynarec x87 code (fixing a bunch of games like ut2004 or Piczle Puzzle)
  • Improved TLS Size handling (Unity3D games now works)
  • More PageSize Compile options
  • Improved execv family of function to have better box64 integration
  • Added support for wrapped libfuse so AppImage works
  • Adjusted the binfmt integration so AppImage are automaticaly picked
  • Improved FAudio, SDL2, GL (and more) wrapping
  • More wrapped libs, like libEGL.so, to helps emulated Qt4/5 libs to load
  • Improved Signal Handling and memory protection traking
  • Some signature fixes to some wrapped functions (in libc)
  • Added more syscalls
  • Added a lot of new opcodes to the ARM64 Dynarec
  • Highlights:
    => Lot's of new games stat working, to name a few: Surviving Mars, Piczle Cross Adventure (using Proton experimental), UT2004, Obduction, Machinarium, Silicon Zero, Hacknet, Absolute Drift, Art of Rally, Dota2
    => Some apps also runs now, like TeamSpeak 3 Client and Server or Discord
    => The bash integration is usefull for device with no binfmt integration or for script that check the machine it's running on

What's Changed
