1.3.0 - April 6, 2014

Bug fixes:

• Re-enable 19200 baud rate for serial client - 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

1.2.9 - December 25, 2013

New functionality:

• [Client] Disk II drives turn on a little early to reduce spin-up delay

Bug fixes:

• Nibble sends work correctly in batch mode
• [Client] Nibble sends retry (more) correctly
• [VDrive] Virtual disks are loaded once at initialization time, making it much faster for huge drives (but much less dynamic)

1.2.8 - July 9, 2013

New functionality:

• [VDrive] Added the ability to serve a second virtual drive
• Restricted most opportunities to change baud rates from defaults

Bug fixes:

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

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:

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

• [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:

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 errors like those produced by the CFFA300 card
• [Client] Apple /// Ethernet screen layout was missing DHCP configuration option

1.1.9 - May 1, 2011

1.1.2 - February 18, 2009

New functionality:

• [DOS ADT Client] Included DOS ADT client, now at version 2.3, that automatically detects the Apple ///'s built-in serial port

Bug fixes:

• [Client] Formatting a disk no longer invalidates the entire drive list cache, eliminating the need to re-scan all drives; thanks to hackerb9 for the impetus to fix it

• [Server] Apple /// computers can be bootstrapped from bare metal over their built-in serial ports

Bug fixes:

• [Client] Occasional Ethernet "hang" during transfer
• [Client] Exiting the Ethernet configuration screen via the Return key but without saving to disk caused changes to be forgotten until entering and leaving the config screen a second time
• [Client] SOS version failed to write the first set of blocks when it received a harmless "disk switched" notification (after swapping disks, for example)

1.1.0 - August 30, 2008

New functionality:

• [Client] Client software comes on a combined "dual boot" ProDOS/SOS disk for both Apple II and Apple /// computers
• [Client] Format routine now recognizes ProFile drives

Bug fixes:

• [Client] Reorganized the entire client code base in order to single-source ProDOS and SOS versions - probably leading to several new bugs in the ProDOS client

• [Client] Fixed a fiddly problem with the IIgs and Uthernet where hitting a key while waiting for a response from the host would make it ignore the esc key from then on

1.0.6 - February 10, 2008

• [Client] IIgs serial port initialization was not working for speeds below 115.2kbps as a result of the 300 baud integration in 1.0.3

1.0.4 - January 21, 2008

New functionality:

• [DOS ADT Client] Included DOS ADT client, now at version 2.2, with nibble and halftrack send capability for Disk II drives from Gerard Putter and Eric Neilson
• [Server] Incorporated nibble and half track disk logic from Gerard Putter's ADT-compatible Virtual ][ A2V2 transfer software - it's still experimental, so support hasn't been added to ADTPro client yet

Bug fixes:

• [Client] Better automatic serial device detection for Apple IIc computers (select Modem vs. Printer port)
• [Client] Update track counter during fast Disk II reads (you had to watch carefully to realize they weren't moving during read)
• [Server] Audio data capture logic was refactored to be more reliable and understandable by Marc S. Reßl
• [Client] Audio send protocol (from Apple to Host) was out of sync, causing transfers to immediately abort

New functionality:

• Support for 300 baud operation to help non-upgraded ROM 255 Apple IIc computers with the serial timing problem

Bug fixes:

• [Client] Only re-scan drives for volume information the first time, and thereafter only when requested; this saves time (and, potentially, drive knocking) whenever the volume screen is shown
