POM2 v0.9.4

POM2 v0.9.4

• An Apple //c or //c+ with no disk boots again: it prints "Check Disk Drive." instead of hanging on a blank screen.
• The //c's CPU-socket Mockingboard 4c has its own setting and stays asleep until a program calls it, so a //e's slot 3 card no longer follows you into a //c; Slot Configuration's connector lists now match the real machines.
• The TransWarp accelerator works on an Apple ][, ][+ or unenhanced //e: as on the real board, the card's own 65C02 runs the program while it holds the bus.
• --blank-disk creates a diskette that has never been formatted — unmagnetised, no address fields — so a program's INIT has real work to do.
• "Download missing from RetroBIOS" in the ROM Status panel can now complete the whole romset: 38 dumps instead of 18, each verified by size, CRC32 and SHA-256.
• Two more character sets in the picker: US Enhanced with the later MouseText (Return symbol and title bar), and ReActiveMicro's ReActiveText.
• Fifty defects fixed across three bug hunts, each with a test that fails without its fix: media write-back and write-protect, host folders, snapshot and rewind restores that lost state, printing, sound and the //c's Disk II after a SmartPort write.
• 3.5" drives turn at the right speed on the PAL profiles, where every revolution used to be 0.7 % too long.

POM2 v0.9.3

POM2 v0.9.3

• Fixed disk writes lost when write-protecting a modified floppy, a locked 3.5" disk missing from ProDOS, and hard-disk images now save in the background.
• Liron card boots hard disks with up to fourteen units; SmartPort cards start with eight; the ProDOS HD card has a second drive.
• Apple //c: native mouse firmware, Mockingboard 4c support, and Slot Configuration shows its real ports.
• Mockingboard, Phasor and speech fixes: correct SSI263 wiring, sample-accurate register writes, no audio-thread allocations.
• macOS: double-clicking a disk image in Finder or dropping it on the POM2 icon now boots it (it used to show "cannot open files in this format").
• No more window freezes when switching profiles or applying slot changes with FujiNet or telnet active; Windows can save write-protected images again.
• One test now covers every media write path; bug hunts #18 to #21 closed.

Full changelog

POM2 v0.8.2

POM2 v0.8.2

• Added ARM64 desktop, Pi400 and WASM downloads, bringing the release to seven packages.
• Added mouse capture: click the screen to grab; Ctrl+Alt+G or middle-click releases it.
• Unified package contents and added payload checks and boot tests before publication.
• Improved disk-save durability, SmartPort handling, snapshots and media ejection.
• Fixed DLGR editor memory overruns and issues in FujiNet and printer handling.
• Updated the browser demo to Total Replay v6.1 and added stale-build detection.

Full changelog

POM2 v0.7

POM2 v0.7

• First tagged release, with Linux x86_64 tarball and Debian packages.
• Added desktop integration and disk-image file associations.
• Fixed installation packaging and included the full Grappler+ firmware.
• Added automated CPU, display and boot tests, plus WASM build verification.

Requires libglfw3, an OpenGL driver and your own Apple ROM dumps; see the bundled roms/README.txt. Windows and macOS packages and the native //c+ 3.5" boot path are not yet available.
