      Commit of kernel as featured in release 5.00. · 9664c93b
      Ben Avison authored
      Detail:
        Lots of changes since last version, at least the following:
        * Updated OS timestamp, removed alpha status
        * Negative INKEY OS version changed to &AA
        * GraphicsV is now alocated vector number &2A
        * ROM moved up to &FC000000
        * Max application slot increased to 512 Mbytes (for now)
        * Max size of RMA increased to 256 Mbytes
        * RMA is now first-created dynamic area (so it gets lowest address after
          top of application slot)
        * OS_Memory 10 reimplemeted
        * New OS_ReadSysInfo 6 values 18-22 added
        * OS_ReadSysInfo 8 gains flag bit to indicate soft power-off
        * Misc internal top-bit-set-address fixes
        * *ChangeDynamicArea can take sizes in megabytes or gigabytes
        * Magic word "&off" in R0 passed to OS_Reset powers down if possible
        * Added acceleration: block copy; CLS; text window scroll up; rectangle
          fill
        * Disabled LED flashing in page mode (liable to crash)
        * Masked sprite plot and VDU 5 text avoids reading the screen if possible
        * Framestore made USR mode accessible
        * Fix for VDU 5,127 bug - now relies on font definitions being in extreme
          quarters of memory, rather than bottom half
        * Allocated 64-bit OS_Convert... SWIs
        * IIC errors use allocated error numbers
        * Looks for Dallas RTC before Philips RTC because we're using a Philips
          NVRAM device with the same ID
        * Fix to bug that meant the oscillator in the Dallas RTC wasn't enabled
        * Default mouse type (USB) changed to allocated number
        * Ram disc max size increased to 128 Mbytes (Ursula merge) and made
          cacheable for StrongARMs (not XScale)
        * Branch through zero handler now works in USR mode, by use of a
          trampoline in the system stack to allow PC-relative register storage
        * Address exception handler changed to not use 0 as workspace
        * OS_Memory 13 extended to allow specification of cacheability and access
          privileges
        * Added OS_Memory 16 to return important memory addresses
        * RISCOS_MapInIO() takes cacheable flag in bit 3, access permissions in
          bits 10 and 11, doubly-mapped flag in bit 20, and access permissions
          specified flag in bit 21
        * Bug fix in last version for application abort handlers didn't quite
          work; register shuffle required
        * "Module is not 32-bit compatible" error now reports the module name
        * Default configured language changed from 10 to 11 (now Desktop again)

      32-bit Kernel. · b4016e9c
      Kevin Bracey authored
      Details:
        The Kernel will now compile to produce a pure 32-bit system if No26bitCode is
        set to TRUE.
        If No26bitCode is FALSE, then the Kernel will be a standard 26-bit Kernel,
        although some internal changes have taken place to minimise compile
        switches between the two cases. See Docs.32bit for more technical info.
      
        The hardest part was the flood-fill...
      
      Other changes:
        Pointer shape changes now take place on the next VSync, rather than actually
        WAITING for the VSync. Turning the Hourglass on shouldn't slow your machine
        down by 5% now :)
      
        Lots of really crusty pre-IOMD code removed.
      
      Admin:
        Tested in 32 and 26-bit forms in a limited desktop build. Basically, this
        will need to see a lot of use to iron out difficulties. I'd like anyone who
        has a non-frozen project to at least attempt using this Kernel.

      Following changes folded in from the start of the Ursula branch: · 4a34da4f
      Kevin Bracey authored
      CPU type messages internationalised.
      "Unknown OS_PlatformFeatures reason code" internationalised.
      RunningOnEmul flag tweaked.
      MorrisIDString conditional removed.
      New modules added to SWI list at the end of the chain, on grounds that
      the first-registered modules are probably more important.
      *ChangeDynamicArea moved into UtilityModule from TaskManager.
