what will be the new features of the upcoming version 0.74?

http://dosbox.linuxsecured.net/dosboxcvs.txt

Does there exist a timetable for this version?

Yes

Hi,

thanks for the list. A lot of compatibility improvements, but no speed improvments 🙁

Do you have a link to the timetable?
Or do you know when Dosbox 0.74 is planned to be released?

Every time somebody asks it's delayed by a week.

Speed improvements get harder and harder.

haja0011 what game do you want speed up for?

Some people who tried it recently considered it to be faster especially on heavy games like daggerfall

On Windows, compiling with the new VC++ Express 2010 seems to give a very noticeable speed boast compared to VC++ Express 2008. I've enabled all optimizations (that make sense) in both 2008 and 2010, and I get about 20% more speed with dynamic core and cycles=max on the DOOM timedemos on my (marginal for DOOM) Intel Atom netbook.

Before 0.73, it was two weeks.
Please go back 2 two weeks for the delay. 😉

Two ADDITIONAL weeks. Or more.

Hehe please don't ask for a release! I will not! 😁

Do you think there will be a release if nobody asks for one? 😁

Only as long as nobody asks what happens when nobody asks. 😵

Better Atom opzimizations in 2010?

It would be nice if they just called it v1.0 already. Nothing is ever quite finished, but that doesn't mean we have to use this 0.7x versioning system.

Don't know, maybe I overlooked something, but I think I kept everything else identical.

Subjectively, I'm seeing some speed gain on my Desktop (Core 2 Quad) as well, but there doesn't seem to be as much gain as on the Atom. Unfortunately I already threw out VC++ 2008 and didn't write down any numbers on the Desktop before I did so, so I can't really compare it without a lot of work for which I'm too lazy 😖

Hm, as such an application never will be finished really, I expect not 1.0 sometime, but 0.100 😉

cool, an update on DOSBox web site!!!!

To all programmers: Never give up your good work!!!
Never let DOS games die!!!
