idun v1.1.9

Contents of this Release

• New Kernal ROM patch: The support for patching both the C128 and C64 kernal ROMs is included in the release, though the patch itself is still considered "Beta". This is optional, but enhances support for the idun-cartridge when using it from BASIC or with native C64/128 programs that user Kernal routines to access disk files. To make the patched ROMs in the Idun Shell, run lua makerom.lua. This will create two 16kB ROM files that you can use to make EPROMs for U32 & U35. If you have the C128-DCR, then you can make a single combined ROM for U32 by running lua makerom.lua /32.
• Update Directory of virtual drives can be loaded as a PRG in BASIC using the typical LOAD "$",10:LIST commands. This is in addition to the existing CATALOG command support and the @$ wedge command.
• Update The directory display in BASIC has been cleaned up and improved, especially for disk image directories that make use of PETSCII graphics.
• Update Various Idun Kernel memory blocks have been juggled around to make some additional space for future enhancements.
• Update The aceFileInfo kernel call has been replaced with aceFileStat, which is useful for retrieving metadata (i.e. file size) about a file on a virtual drive.
• Update Disk images that are mounted in BASIC (using cd with the : prefix) are now mounted with R/W access. Same as true for disk images mounted using the browse and go64 commands.
• Update Joystick in port 2 can be used to navigate toolbox menus, such as are used in the browse command.
• New Release includes 'diag.binary' firmware to help with troubleshooting an idun-cartridge.
• Fix Bug in zload command that prevented z80 programs from launching.

How to update: If you are already on at least v1.1.7, then you can update from the Linux prompt with sudo pacman -Sy idun idun-base. Alternatively, you can just download the new SD card image to replace the one you are using.
