==== Ver 0.06 (Aitor SANTAMARIA MERINO)
- Added version and copyright notice at boot
- Added Int2Fh interface, functions 2,3,Eh,Fh
- Added MODECON.EXE to operate with those functions
- Added use of bCPSoft and bCPHard (always 437)
==== Ver 0.07 (Ilya V. Vasilyev)
- Fixed: problems working with VGA
- Minor optimizations and fixes
==== Ver 0.07 (Aitor SANTAMARIA MERINO)
- Minor optimizations and fixes
- Complete rewrite of PREPARE/SELECT: SELECT has an independent pool
- PREPARE Pools: array of pools (as many as you want at compile time) managed
with a LRU scheme
- MODECON: PREPARE=PREP, SELECT=SEL (as suggested by Ilya)
- Ready for commandline parsing
==== Ver 0.08 (Aitor SANTAMARIA MERINO)
- commandline syntax
DISPLAY devname[:]=(EGA,n,m)
for n=hardware cp number, m=number of pools to be used
- SELECT: trivial if selected=current
- frees environment block, saving resident space
- Computes correctly the tablesize for EGA adapters (and now yes, it
should work with EGA!!)
==== Ver 0.09 (Aitor SANTAMARIA MERINO)
- Communicate with other drivers: KEYB, PRINT.COM, ARABIC/HEBREW, GRAFTABL
- Source restructure in a modular way, to make it possible to create DISPLAY
or PRINTER
- now reports errors with error codes
- returns information about codepages, AX=AD03h
- uses that table and allows to specify buffer to fill (no longer LRU)
- allows to use more than one hardware codepage at a time (you'll need
ARABIC/HEBREW)
- Uses different font sizes by using subfonts (if not given: automatically
detected)
- refuses to load with some versions of DR-KEYB
- hardcoded localisation is possible (English and Spanish are supported)
- if hardware selected, "active buffer" is unused, but codepage kept. E.g.:
DISPLAY CON=(EGA,437,1)
MODECON CP PREPARE (850) CP850.RAW
MODECON CP SELECT 850
MODECON CP PREPARE (858) CP858.RAW
MODECON CP SELECT 437
MODECON CP SELECT 850 ; succeeeds!!
- improved documentation
- MODECON: reads extended error and reports it
- MODECON: returns errors in errorlevel
- MODECON: MODECON CP now reports full information
- MODECON: MODECON CP REFRESH to refresh current codepage
==== Ver 0.10 (Aitor SANTAMARIA MERINO)
- Ability to parse CPI files in the prepare routine. Only simple CPI files, of
DISPLAY-type, uncompressed, 3 fonts per codepage
