The long-awaited Hercules version 3.03 is now available for download.
What's new in release 3.03
Release date: 20 December 2005
Native Windows version no longer requires Cygwin (David "Fish" Trout,
Roger Bowler, Ivan Warren)
SMP host integrity fixes (Greg Smith, David "Fish" Trout, Bob Deblier)
ALS5, z9 and other architectural enhancements (Roger Bowler, Bernard
van der Helm, Jan Jaeger, David "Fish" Trout)
Restructured cryptographic support no longer depends on libgcrypt
(Bernard van der Helm, Roger Bowler, Ivan Warren)
Support emulation of up to 32 CPUs; maximum without special build
options now 8 (Ivan Warren)
Enhanced semigraphical control panel now uses all of larger console
windows (Greg Smith, David "Fish" Trout)
Many emulation fixes (Roger Bowler, Jan Jaeger, Bernard van der Helm,
David "Fish" Trout, Greg Smith, Ivan Warren, Andy Styles,
John Decker)
CMPSC fixes now produce identical results with real systems
(Jacques Dilbert, Bernard van der Helm)
Integrated 1052-C / 3215-C console support (Jan Jaeger)
tapecopy support for writing as well as reading tapes (Jay Maynard)
While the Cygwin version is still available, it should be noted that there
is a known problem with the built-in HTTP server in that version only. This
problem does not affect the versions built for any other OS. When a fix is
found, the packages for Cygwin will be replaced, and the source tarball will
be updated as well. The native Windows version will work just fine in a
Cygwin environment, and is not subject to this problem, although changes to
the configuration file may be necessary.
The SMP host integrity fixes in this version now allow reliable, accurate
emulation of SMP systems on SMP x86 and AMD64 hosts. At present, SMP Mac OS
X hosts do not have the facilities needed to take advantage of this
enhancement; thus, emulation of SMP systems on Macs is discouraged.
