1.2.7 - April 18, 2013

New functionality:

• [VDrive] Added the ability to bootstrap into ProDOS with VSDrive active
• [Server] Added a command-line invoker for AppleCommander

Bug fixes:

• [Server] 5-1/4" disk images with unrecognized filesystems are always written with DOS-ordered physical interleaving
• [Server] Start the numerical part of batch name at 1, not 0; reset the counter when a batch name changes

1.2.6 - October 11, 2012

New functionality:

• [VDrive] virtual disk drivers on one disk that boots on both Apple II and Apple /// computers

Bug fixes:

• [Server] Audio trims leading garbage from data stream - finally (I hope this time for real) making audio reliable
• [Server] Un-sign Apple's binary Java launcher so it doesn't confuse Mountain Lion
• [Client] Apple /// tries harder to consume buffered keystrokes before doing line-oriented input
• [Client] Serial library is now non-blocking; allows for timeouts in times of failure; fixes speediboot pauses
• [Server] If a 140k disk image isn't of a known format, take the filename extension into account before looking too much deeper
• [Server] Serial over IP can specify both port and host, not just port

1.2.5 - September 22, 2012

New functionality:

• [VDrive] ProDOS date and time is set when communicating with the ADTPro server
• [VDrive] Serial driver installs over the floppy driver by default
• [Server] ADTPro server serves a hybrid serial-over-IP for emulators - enabled with startup parameter 'localhost'

Bug fixes:

• [VDrive] Ethernet driver is now more "reentrant," allows for restarting if the "ping" message doesn't show up right away
• [VDrive] Aborts via escape key are more reliable, Ethernet now recovers correctly
• [VDrive] Device driver installer filetypes changed to SYS

1.2.4 - September 10, 2012

New functionality:

• [Client] ProDOS Serial and Ethernet clients can extract and send nibble images
• [VDrive] Virtual drive over a comms link - any serial or Ethernet connection can host a virtual ProDOS disk on slot 2, drive 1

Bug fixes:

• [Server] Some serial adapters were exhibiting serious slowdown problems in some situations (usually non-FTDI, usually non-Mac)
• [Client] IP configuration screen was missing some dots

1.2.3 - August 13, 2012

New functionality:

• [Server] ShrinkIt "SHK" and "BXY" files are converted to an appropriately sized disk image and served
• [Server] DiskCopy 4.2 disk images are recognized and dealt with as any other disk image

Bug fixes:

• [Client] Speediboot pauses ever longer, and downloads may be restarted with the escape key

1.2.2 - July 22, 2012

New functionality:

• [Server] ShrinkIt "SDK" disk images are recognized and dealt with as any other disk image

Bug fixes:

• [Client] A bug was introduced in 1.2.1 due to an assembler upgrade that made Disk II sends (Apple II -> host) corrupt at the host
• [Client] SOS version volume display function regularly crashed
• [Client] Speediboot pauses longer after serial reset to give various machines enough time to recover before sending out the first download request

1.2.1 - April 12, 2012

New functionality:

• Apple II serial bootstraps from bare metal in 1/3 the time it used to take with Speediboot(tm) technology
• [Server] Mac OSX has a prettier "installer" via the DMG - just drag/drop the ADTPro folder to Applications

Bug fixes:

• [Server] Improve serial error recovery for two different scenarios: 1, by waiting (much) longer before timing out to allow for problemtatic/errorful block reads, and 2, flushing the serial port after things like checksum errors

1.2.0 - January 14, 2012

New functionality:

• [Server] Start up the server with any of the communications buttons "pressed" - enabling headless server operations

Bug fixes:

• [Server] Integrate Cloudhopper's 64-bit Windows RXTX dll - fixes 2-way Windows 7 64-bit serial communications
• [Server] If a serial configuration isn't usable, it doesn't just put up the dialog box saying you should change the configuration - it brings up the change configuration dialog so you can actually do it.
• [Server] Be consistent when automatically adding suffixes (.dsk vs. .DSK)
• [Client] Don't lock out interrupts during program execution - it hinders things like the GS Desk Accessory bringup
• [Client] Apple /// responds a little better to disk switched notifications like those produced by the CFFA3000 card
• [Client] Apple /// Ethernet screen layout was missing DHCP configuration option
