Console switching doesn't always pause the game After switching consoles, keystrokes cause SIGQUIT ?? * Sort-of ported Maelstrom to Solaris 2.4 Known bugs: (unknown causes) Setting asynchronous I/O in Sound Server returns EINVAL Sound support not tested * Sort-of ported Maelstrom to the SGI Known bugs: (unknown causes) Fading doesn't work, and neither does -privatecmap Some scores are reported as low negative numbers No sound support * Sort-of ported Maelstrom to HPUX 10.0 Known bugs: Not tested with X11 No sound support Version 1.1.1: * Fixed a slight slowdown bug in mixer.cc (Thanks to John Seng <jseng@nwu.edu> for catching it.) * Fixed the "white border" problem on some vga cards (trident) (Thanks to Antti J Tanskanen <atanskan@cc.helsinki.fi>) * Fixed a bug in the cheat code, when you enter zero lives. * Fixed a problem with Maelstrom_sound exiting with signal 11. * Added Makefile variable toggling compiling SVGA support. * Added "all-time high" Maelstrom-Scores file. Version 1.1.0: * Second Public Release: 9/1/95 * Made Maelstrom code more portable, using bytecopy macros and using shared memory XImages instead of BG pixmaps. * Discovered that shared memory XImages are truly faster than shared background pixmaps. Default to use XImage. (Thanks to Peter Mattis <petm@CSUA.Berkeley.EDU>) * Added -speedtest option to test the speed of Maelstrom graphics blitting. SVGA is about 30% faster than shared memory XImages in X11, on my system. * Added -gamma N option, allowing gamma correction levels from 0 through 8. * Fixed a sound race condition on slow machines. * Added 24 bit color support. Version 1.0.1: * Added the "NewSounds" directory, filled with sound patches for Maelstrom collected from the Internet. * Fixed Maelstrom so it would play the Simpsons sound patch. * BUG: Bonus stage sound can break up during the screen fade on slow systems. The fix is to use a larger sound fragment size, but this negatively impacts synchronization of the Maelstrom process and the sound server. Not fixed. * Fixed a coding issue so Maelstrom could be compiled with g++ 2.7.0 * Defined true and false for compiling with X11R5. * Added 15/16-bit color support. (Thanks to Peter Mattis) * Fixed problem with Maelstrom leaving shared memory around. Version 1.0: * First Public Release: 8/1/95
