FYI, someone just mentioned SDL 2.0.14 has been released

LisaEm uses wxWidgets. SDL is only used to provide sound because of the sound class requires SDL:
from: https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/classwx_sound.html
--- Code: ---Currently this class is implemented on Windows and Unix (and uses either Open Sound System or Simple DirectMedia Layer).
--- End code ---
I'll look at add the new SDL to new macos releases.
rayarachelian:
Incase folks are curious, I'm adding the https://github.com/jeremysalwen/TerminalWx.git class to LisaEm, it will be used for various purposes including having a terminal that can be used with the emulated serial ports. Once I get it working with that, I'll also add xmodem and support for an actual serial port so you could use LisaEm to directly talk to BLU so you can image your ProFile/Widget.
Once Xenix or UniPlus start up, it could also be used as an alternative console so you can do copy/paste, etc. and eventually for LPW.
But right this minute the goal is to add it as another endpoint for Serial B.
rayarachelian:
I've implemented most of the TerminalWx (which is a vt100 terminal emulator window for wxWidgets) and have gotten it to compile, but the Edit Menu doesn't do much, I couldn't figure out how to enable drag select text on it.
However I was able to get text in/out of Serial B to the terminal window. Setting Serial B to "Terminal" will open a new window with the TerminalWx widget, and then whatever you type in it will show up in LisaTerminal, and vice versa. This could be useful in the future for interacting with the Lisa unixens.
Currently implementing file transfer protocols (upload/download text and xmodem.) The idea here is to attach this to a physical USB serial port, and then you could connect that to a physical Lisa and transfer disk images to/from BLU. I suppose we could build an xmodem command line for the unixens as well.
Once this works and is debugged, I'll release it as RC4 and within a few weeks after testing the 1.2.7 RELEASE. I intended to release this last year, but working in C++ is much slower.
Future plans after this are code freeze for 1.2.7 except bug fixes, which may trigger versions such as 1.2.7.1 1.2.7.2, as needed, etc. The left over stuff I intended for 1.2.7 such as Widget emulation and updates to libdc42, and possibly the debugger, will make it to 1.2.8, but once 1.2.7 is done.
Once 1.2.7 RELEASE is done, I'll be starting work on the 2.0 features, in parallel with 1.2.8, starting with revisiting the 1.3.0 CPU core (which I can test via automation now), then UI vs core separation. This is a much longer term project that could be a year or much more.
Most of the new serial port features (physical port access, shell, BLU interface) won't be available for Windows 10 in 1.2.7 since it has different ways of doing things than POSIX style systems, but I'll likely add them to 1.2.8.
At least that's the plan at the moment.

Sweet! I'll have to try it with the daisy wheel and Imagewriter!
