Window 3D design is even better now. 14 Jul 1991 Bug fixed in output with SoftNewLine in combination with 'for' command. 30 Jul 1991 New disassembler, support for 68040. 16 Aug 1991 At last !!! Solved the VERY VERY hard bug. When you made some errors and consulted the online help, PowerVisor sometimes crashed. This crash only happened when I used the latest kickstart. Some bug fix in the update files caught my eyes : Commodore has changed the values for TDNestCnt and IDNestCnt. I manually set these when an error ocurred. Now this is fixed :-) Fixed ReAllocMem so that MungWall is happy (different algorithm). 18 Aug 1991 Bug solved in ReAllocMem. We were loosing memory ! Solved bug in debugging which could cause a PowerVisor hang if we traced to much. New 'SPrint' command to print on serial line. New LWF_SNAPOUTPUT prefs for logical windows (default for 'Extra' and 'Main'). 19 Aug 1991 Slowly I'm changing everything in PowerVisor to make error handling better. The ultimate goal is to get rid of 'RememberIt' and 'Remind' (except for PowerVisor crash handling). This brings PowerVisor also a step closer to reentrant routines. New feature. You can now do 'task:' (for example) for the first task node (this feature has programmed itself :-) Dividing by zero no longer crashes PowerVisor. 20 Aug 1991 Bug in 'debug n' that I made yesterday is solved. I'm continuing my quest to make PowerVisor cleaner. Bug fixed with error message when there was no startup script. We don't need Dos 'Exit' anymore. I managed it by changing 'quit' into an error :-) This error is propagated to the highest level where the 'quit' will really happen using an ordinary 'rts'. 'Break...' is now also an error. Bug solved in template. We know check if the command string is too long. 'Alias' redesigned. New 'unalias' command. 21 Aug 1991 Error check in 'hold' is better Bug solved in 'RWin' command. PowerVisor no longer crashes Support to remove more than one variable in one 'remvar' command Default PowerVisor screen is two bitplanes Support for different pens New 'prefs pens' argument 'colrow' checks for arguments that are too small Bug solved in 'search'. We did not always search till the end of the defined search region 'rblock': If you did not specify an address, the memory that is allocated is now added to the 'showalloc' list New 'alloc' 'c' argument to allocate chip ram 'Rx' works in ARexx too Bug solved in 'getchar'. Function now works for other rows than the first one We now return valid error code if an ARexx command failed New 'error' command to print an error Bug fixed in 'RemVar'. It is no longer possible to remove 'rc' and 'error' 22 Aug 1991 Bug fixed in 'if' Stack checking implemented in PowerVisor Bug solved in parsing of '#' operator (when parsed as integer) String and string pointer handling is much better (limit of 10 strings instead of limit of 1 string) We use 'LoadSeg' to load our machinelanguage scripts New commands 'resident' and 'unresident' to make segments resident New string parsing feature. With \(expression) you can now evaluate expressions in strings 23 Aug 1991 Bug solved in 'rblock'. We did not make the PV block correctly The expression evaluater is better again. You can now use more recursive expressions New 'clip' and 'remclip' commands to interface with ARexx Bug in 'list lock' replaced with other bug :-) We don't loose memory but we don't print the 'Break...' message when the listing is interrupted Bug in 'owner' fixed. We don't print rubbish because of rubbish in ROM seglists Bug solved in structure viewing. Strings are correct when we had to interrupt the previous line 'LoadTag' and 'SaveTag' support relocation 31 Aug 1991 Bug solved in 'SkipString' for the new \() parsing method New format feature in string parsing \() 'Evaluate' is in PVCallTable 'GetString' is in PVCallTable New 'RemVarFunc' in PVCallTable New '[x]' parsing in alias New 'attach' snap mode New 'Hold the key' mode for attach Removed feature from 'disp' with extra argument for no linefeed Removed SPrintf feature from 'sprint' because it is obsolete 1 Sep 1991 New command 'Scroll' to scroll logical windows Operator priorities are now like C Bug solved in expression evaluator with unary operators Some bugs solved in parsing for list address operator Bug solved in pens when powervisor window was on other screen FIRST RELEASE ON TAPSERV AND AB20.LARC.NASA.GOV (V37.276 & V37.274 : V1.00) ! 8 Sep 1991 (V1.01) Bug solved in 'mode' command. We try again if memory failure when opening screen and we restore 'mode' variable if error New 'stack' command and 'getstack' function for stack checking and max stack computing 9 Sep 1991 Removed feature from 'refresh' : we don't list the current list anymore New extra argument for 'rwin', 'dwin', 'awin', 'owin', 'xwin' and 'openlw' This is an optional number of lines or columns Logical windows are much more stable with big fonts and small windows Bug in 'alias' with [x] solved Debug mode in PowerVisor with 'pvcall' 17 Bug in 'if' function solved, sometimes parsing of arguments was not correct Added strong quote feature to string parsing '#' operator is removed 'eval' function now expects a string pointer instead of a string limitation removed in 'colrow' and 'fit'. It is now possible to size the debug logical window 'libfunc' works better (negative offset and only word) Removed useles feature from 'loadfd' (max number of fd-functions) Bug solved in 'loadfd' with multiple ##bias statements Added workbench startup We close dos.library Much more stable startup SECOND RELEASE ON FISH (V37.324 & V37.323 : V1.01) ! 12 Sep 1991 (V1.10) Bug fix in logical windows when sized too small New 'lastbytes' and 'lastlines' functions Disassembly and memory listing now remembers the last number of bytes or lines disassembled and continues with this number We don't allow illegal variable names anymore 'LoadTags' and 'SaveTags' correctly support structures (Note All Ascii file for PowerVisor are 1818345 bytes long !!!

Input is local to a logical window and all other logical windows are locked until the input is satisfied. Rexx, refresh, portprint and IDC Exec commands are also locked until the input is satisfied. Key presses are redirected to the right (Active) logical window only. Pressing break in one logical window has no effect on the output in the other logical windows 20 Sep 1991 Solved some bugs in the screen module and made some cleanups 21 Sep 1991 Solved some other bugs in the screen module Optimized PowerVisor a bit (some messages moved to s:PowerVisor-errors) Auto repeat bug in 1.3 solved for the history buffer (not for the logical window scroll) New 'event' command We don't need arp.library anymore ! 22 Sep 1991 Bug solved in the listing of a structure (SoftNewLine) 23 Sep 1991 Bug solved in the resizing of a logical window, we activate the string gadget correctly PowerVisor now uses the standard AmigaDOS way for the history buffer 24 Sep 1991 Bug solved in pv13 with autorepeat New 'prefs font' command to set default font for all logical windows Commandline options are removed 26 Sep 1991 Output for 'prefs' commands is better Optimizations Bug fix in input handler (harmless bug) 28 Sep 1991 Added menus to PowerVisor !!!!!!!

Bug in symbols solved Unexpected bug solved in 'colrow' and 'prefs logwin' combined with autoscale 31 Jan 1992 Support for hilighted lines in window system Source level debugging for macro68 almost completely implemented (New 'source' command) Bug solved in 'prefs pens' command, it was not possible to change the pens greater than 32 3 Feb 1992 Source level debugging for SAS/C Hilighting for normal fullscreen debugger too We use regions for the clipping of the logical window title bar Support for extra logical window title 4 Feb 1992 'refresh' does not need 'Refresh' logical window anymore (obsolete error) Warning ! ScreenBase has changed ! New 'Source' logical window 5 Feb 1992 Bug solved in 'DebugRefresh' 'CopyLogWin' and 'GetLogWin' are adapted to the new 'ScreenBase' Include files and 'TheWizardCorner' are also adapted New 'c' option for 'source' to clear the current sources 6 Feb 1992 New 'mode' option for Intuition Windows instead of Logical windows All standard logical window command use this new mode argument Physical windows do not automatically activate any more 'SaveConfig' also remembers the positions settings for the standard logical windows (if on a physical window) Major bug solved in handling of requesters when the PowerVisor screen changes. Bug involved not changing of the pr_WindowPtr 'prefs startup' and 'prefs window' are no longer needed, SaveConfig gets the correct information first 11 Feb 1992 New 'source g' command to go to another line in the current source Scroll in 'Source' logical window with mouse New 'drp' printing in 'mmuregs' Better support for 68020, 68851 Bug solved in scroll routine (only occured on 68000) 13 Feb 1992 The 'debug' command is MUCH better in the AmigaDOS 2.0 version, no memory losses and 'debug u' works always ! 14 Feb 1992 The MMU commands check for the right processor Source level debugger is better, you can't scroll out of the current file RELEASE (V37.873 : V1.13) ! 9 Mar 1992 (V1.14) Bug solved in standard logical window commands in combination with 'mode intui' and 'mode nointui' Solved harmful bug in the restoring of the original taskpriority.

Read protection did not work in fast ram because of the TTx registers (only a problem on the 68030) New 'bus error' (-7) in PowerVisor-errors (not used yet) It is possible to let a program crash when a bus error occurs (almost) Extra crash number : 3 for bus error crash (0 (trap), 1 (guru), 2 (stack fail)) (not used yet) 1 Aug 1992 In order to stop a task after a memory protection error, the bus error is converted to a trace error 16 Aug 1992 Solved bug in 'GetMMURegs' routine (thanks Adriaan). I optimized the routine and this caused a bug 19 Aug 1992 Disassembler is a bit faster Serious bug solved when 'addtag' was called twice for the same address and the type was equal to 'st' Disassembler understands tags and structures when in debugging mode 20 Aug 1992 New error 'UnknownStructArg' New error 'BadStructure' New error 'ReadOnlyStruct' New error 'CantFindField' New 'struct' command to create new structures interactivelly 21 Aug 1992 Additional 'struct' arguments for extra flexibility Loading of symbols is a LOT faster! (from 34s to 3s for 1850 symbols) Bug solved in 'peek' function. If the type of the field was a BCPL pointer or a BSTR, the result of this function would always be 0 regardless of the real contents of the field RELEASE (V37.1219 : V1.31) (To Adriaan) ! 25 Aug 1992 (V1.32) We use a shared IDCMP port for all PowerVisor windows Added _node standard structure Bug solved in documentation 28 Aug 1992 Updated the PVDevelop include files 29 Aug 1992 Totally new internal memory system. No more mungwall hits and everything is more efficient -> change 'TheWizCorner.guide' (removed QReAllocMem) -> pvdevelop include files (pv.debug.i has changed) -> pvdevelop library files (obsolete and new functions in pvcall) -> remember to test 'track' New 'pvmem' command to show all the used memory regions 30 Aug 1992 Floating point bug solved in disassembler (FMOVE.X #imm,FPx) Removed QReAllocMem system 31 Aug 1992 PowerVisor detaches New -d commandline option to disable detaching Bug solved in name of PowerVisor.task for slave instances of PowerVisor Use 3.0 NewLookMenu flag in OpenWindow New 'a' option with 'source' to go to a label in the source New 'h' option with 'source' to hold the source logical window to a position 2 Sep 1992 Little bug solved in the 'SkipStackFrame' routine. This routine would not work on AmigaDOS 3.0. Not because the stackframe has changed, but because the check for the version (37.132) was wrong Bug solved in source logical window display. Last line of source is now correctly displayed Bug solved for 'debug l' in 1.3 version (bug introduced in 1.31) RELEASE (V37.1325 : V1.32) (Nico, Adriaan) ! 3 Sep 1992 (V1.40) Added support for scrollbars in logical windows (not yet used in anything) 6 Sep 1992 Recomputed 'VisualInfo' and layout for menus with 'screen' command 7 Sep 1992 Really solved bug that I reported yesterday (with menus and 'VisualInfo') Scrollbars really work (you can scroll with them) In order to make things easier I have removed the feature which disabled snapping right after the window is first activated. This is not very bad since there is a hotkey anyway to activate the PowerVisor window 'refresh' will now also work when another PowerVisor window is active (you need not activate the 'Main' physical window to start having 'refresh', any other physical window will do) Bug solved in the PowerVisor window system. When you opened a physical window with no logical windows (with 'openpw' for example) you could crash your Amiga by clicking on that window New 'mode sbar' and 'mode nosbar' parameters for scrollbars New flags in logical window structure for scrollbars 10 Sep 1992 'Source' logical window has seperate scrollbar handling (new LWF_PRIVATESB flag and LogWin_ScrollHandler) LWF_SCROLLBAR is set for 'source' logical window 11 Sep 1992 'debug' logical window now correctly refreshes after close/reopen 'source' logical window also refreshes correctly when resized 'pvcall 65' is obsolete and is replaced by a normal PrintChar routine New 'prof' command for profiling New 'debug q' option to prevent a debug task from quiting New errors for profiler 12 Sep 1992 Use 'Disable' in profile check routine New 'AllocSignal' and 'FreeSignal' patch in 'track' New 'CreateMsgPort' and 'CreateIORequest' patches in 'track' New 'Lock', 'UnLock', 'DupLock', 'OpenFromLock' and 'DupLockFromFH' patches in 'track' ActivateGadget works better New 'Open' and 'Close' patches in 'track' New 'AllocRaster' and 'FreeRaster' patch in 'track' PC in resource tracking information was not correct! Bug solved in startup. It was not possible to run more than two PowerVisor instances at the same time Bug solved in 'prof' and 'stack' for the AmigaDOS 1.3 version of PowerVisor 13 Sep 1992 15 Sep 1992 Big optimizations with 'trap' and several other smaller optimizations Optimization with 'Print' (no length parameter) Bug solved in 'to' and 'log' commands (pretty recent bug) Use more FOpen instead of Open (error file handle has changed!!!) 16 Sep 1992 17 Sep 1992 New 'mode dirty' to allow debugging 'trap' instructions Solved bug in 'pv_mmu.asm' with bsr.l (does not work on 68000!) 'Trace conditional' is a bit faster New 'trace q' option for faster conditional tracing 'trace r' is somewhat faster 'mmurtest' and 'mmuwtest' are removed since they didn't seem to do anything useful 18 Sep 1992 New 'trace gf', 'trace qf', 'trace cf' and 'trace rf' options for flow-trace (68020 or higher only) Blinking of the powerled removed while tracing 21 Sep 1992 I finally found the bug with 'debug n' in 1.3 and on a 68000!!! Stacksize for debug programs is set to 20000 instead of 10000 It is now allowed to type 'a = 3' instead of 'a=3' Bug solved. PowerVisor no longer crashes when a source file is missing CheckDirty only for MasterPV Bug solved in 'mode' command. This bug is probably the reason for the infrequent crashes we had when changing some screen parameters 22 Sep 1992 Little bug fixed in ListItem for only 80 columns 'duse' correctly refreshes the source 'with' remembers result from command 'with' command works better in combination with fullscreen debugging Refreshing for 'debug' and 'source' logical window is better New floating point routines (Adriaan) 23 Sep 1992 'mode' command is a lot better 'mode patch' works immediatelly 'mode' variable is always correctly restored on error 'viking' argument is renamed to 'a2024' New 'default', 'euro36', 'euro72', 'sup72' and 'super' arguments for 'mode' 'no' argument in 'mode' command may be seperated from the rest of the argument 24 Sep 1992 PowerVisor frees all signals New 'dprevi' and 'dnexti' commands to scroll in the debug display These commands are also attached to - and - The normal scroll commands have moved to - and - 'StackPtr' is replaced by 'StackU' (stack usage) in task node line ('list') Stackchecker is exact PowerVisor output for commands like 'list', 'vars', 'alias', ... is a LOT faster. This is significant if you want to use the 'refresh' command 'info funcmon' did not seem to work when there was register information 'pathname' and 'unlock' were to critical in their test to see if the argument is really a lock Interrupting 'list lock' will cause a 'Break...' message to be printed. This was a harmless bug but I solved it anyway :-) 25 Sep 1992 Bug solved in 'to' command when there was no extra command given Similar bug fixed in 'tg' command 'appendto', 'tg', 'on' and 'to' also remember result from command (like 'with') Extra information in 'task' structure 'TC_FLAGS', 'TC_LAUNCH' and 'TC_SWITCH' Names of some structure fields have changed (especially in the ExecBase and GraphicsBase structures) Bug fixed in output of Rexx commands, PortPrint commands and Refresh commands in combination with IDC commands 26 Sep 1992 New 'trace p' for profile tracing (68020 or higher only) New 'getsymstr' function to get the name of a symbol (returns string from ARexx) 'quit' will give a warning and asks for confirmation if the user wants to quit while there are still debug nodes in memory New 'symbol t' command to remove temporary symbols 'Refresh' commands set the page to the start (to disable -MORE- messages) 'attach' command is a little better ('+' may be seperate from previous argument) Bug fixed in 'colrow' and 'setfont'. The settings set with 'colrow' were simply ignored for standard logical windows (like 'Main', 'Extra', ...) New error ('Not a logical window!') Logical window commands check if the argument really is a logical window PowerVisor 'main' physical window is activated when it is first opened on a real non-backdrop window Bug solved in 'rblock'. If this command failed (because there was no disk in the drive or other errors), the allocated memory would not be freed correctly. This could cause crashes Bug in 'loadtags' with address 0 solved. Format for 'tag files' has changed a bit Finally!!!!!!! I think I found the BIG screen bug that kept haunting me for years (literally) This fix also solves the 'front' bug Better checks in 'PhysWin_GetKey' and 'RoutScan' for hold mode 27 Sep 1992 I fixed 'screen' and 'mode' so that you can use these routines from within hold mode New flags for 'gadgets' command: 'TABCYCLE' and 'STRINGEXT' Use 'CHANGEWINDOW' instead of 'NEWSIZE' for 2.0 RELEASE (V37.1751 : V1.40) (Nico, Adriaan, Compu) ! 29 Sep 1992 (V1.41) I really solved the 68000 bug in 'quit' and 'debug'. It was really a bug (or quirk) in Macro68 Bug solved in CLI commandline parsing. Using the '-d' option at the end of all other options would discard the previous options. This is solved Library function parsing is extended. It is now possible to call library functions like 'input' (dos.library) by using quotes Bug solved in source-updating with a dummy debug node (this bug was also visible in the 'duse' command) Little bug solved in 'assem.pv' Bug fixed in 'fit'. This command simply didn't work The 'cmdline.pv' script is a little better RELEASE (V37.1765 : V1.41) (Compu, Ives, Nico) ! 13 Oct 1992 (V1.42) 19 Oct 1992 Bug fixed for 68040 processors and FlushCache. 'pflusha' is not needed 2 Nov 1992 Address error recovery is now correct for 68000 processors (thanks to John Harper) Documentation is better (adapted to MultiView for example) New 'mhelp' alias that uses 'MultiView' instead of 'AmigaGuide' 3 Nov 1992 New 'r' option for several trace commands. This options is for routine tracing (keep tracing in the current routine, skip all BSR and JSR instructions) You can also use 'f' after 'n' in 'trace' Debugging documentation is better New 'while' command New 'checksum' function New 'trace z', 'trace zf' and 'trace zr' commands for checksum tracing RELEASE (V37.1770 : V1.42) (FTP sites) ! 11 Nov 1992 (V1.43) 24 Nov 1992 Enforcer hit bug solved in 'CheckOption' if PowerVisor was started from the Workbench 25 Jan 1993 'mmuregs' also works for the 68040 'specregs' also works for the 68040 4 Mar 1993 Cleanup MMU code 6 Mar 1993 New idea for MMU: different libraries (pv68000.library, ... ,pv68040.library) to implement all processor-specific code 7 Mar 1993 New 'mmuentry' command to print the MMU entry that is used for the logical address ... Veerle, System 9 ... 20 May 1993 Yes! I will really continue working on PowerVisor :-) Continue working on the pv68030.library 19 Jun 1993 The 68030 library 18 Aug 1993 Investigated a bug reported by Christian Weiss (see pv.bugs) ... 24 Mar 1994 Let's have another look at PowerVisor... I made sure that pv_68030.asm en pv_mmu.asm work well enough to be redistributable. We will continue work on that later Solved a bug in 'protect'. The command would not check correctly if the mmuprotector was installed 'watch' renamed to 'mmuwatch' to make place for another 'watch' command New 'debug s' commands to control the source path New 'watch' command with 's', 'c', 'a' and 'r' options. This command will enable the user to watch variables while debugging 27 Mar 1994 Cleanup of PowerVisor. I'm going to eliminate all bases 30 Mar 1994 Furthur cleanup of PowerVisor 31 Mar 1994 New more general config file format. Read routine is already ready 4 Apr 1994 Cleanup of PVCallTable SearchHist.asm changed to reflect new PVCallTable Extended share and entry to add a new standard logical window New 'wwin' command to open the watch window ... 27 Jul 1994 Support for inline strings and arrays in structure system Extra 'size' field in structure listing (interprete) Extra 'size' argument for 'struct a' command (only if type is equal to SENF_ARRAY or SEN_INLINESTR) New error for array indeces It is possible to use array indices with peek and apeek
