ADTPro - Apple Disk Transfer ProDOS full changelog

New functionality:
Support added for Uthernet II based on new integrated IP65 library from Oliver Schmidt (http://oliverschmidt.github.io/ip65/)
Integrated John Brooks' ProDOS 2.4.1 as base operating system for all ADTPro actions (Speediboot, text bootstrapping, base disks, etc.)
[VDrive] Uthernet II virtual Ethernet driver from Oliver Schmidt that occupies the same space as the Disk II driver

[Audio] Client sends test stream of data for volume tuning on host side
[Server] Text bootstrapping data is packed more densely for faster transfer

New functionality:
New protocol (code-named "Wide") that makes transport more reliable and significantly faster with tunable payload lengths
[Client] Arrow-and-Return interface for choosing a file to receive
[Client] Arrow-and-Return interface for the main menu
[Client] Directory listing allows for wildcard filtering of files, paging forward and backward
[SOS Client] Slow driver-based screen I/O subsystem replaced with custom code, significantly speeding up display
Separated ProDOS and SOS boot disks for ADTPro client; VDRIVE boot disk remains common to both
Bug fixes:
When the server decides to abort, the new protocol will not react to the "spray of commands" when the client (re-)sends data that isn't supposed to be commands
[SOS Client] Keyboard interaction works correctly
[SOS Client, SOS VSDrive] Changing serial connected-ness to the Apple /// no longer causes fatal SOS $02 errors

Bug fixes:
Re-enable 19200 baud rate for serial client (removed in 1.2.8) - the Mac LC/Apple IIe card requires this speed
[Client] Don't bother turning the drive motor on early (introduced in 1.2.9) with Audio protocol

· New functionality: [VDrive] Added the ability to serve a second virtual drive Restricted most opportunities to change baud rates from defaults
· Bug fixes: [Server] Severe slowdown on bootstrapping under Windows was cured by removing what should have been a harmless yielding of the CPU

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

Bug fixes:
· [Server] 5-1/4quot; 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

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

· [Server] ShrinkIt quot;SDKquot; 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 many DOS 3.3 image sends fail to send correctly
· [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.

New functionality:
· Serial now bootstraps from bare metal in 1/3 the time it used to take with Speediboot(tm) technology

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

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 file suffixes dsk vs. .DSK)
· [Client] Don't lock out interrupts during program execution - it hinders things like the GS Desk Accessory bringup
