+
+## 2021-11-28: 0.18
+
+spicyjpeg:
+
+- libc: Removed `STACK_MAX_SIZE` and added `_mem_init()` back. RAM and stack
+ size can now be set by calling `_mem_init()` manually before allocating any
+ memory.
+
+- libc: `sprintf()` now supports fixed padding when using the `%@` (binary
+ integer) format specifier.
+
+- psxcd: File paths with forward slashes instead of backslashes are now
+ accepted.
+
+- psxapi: Added wrapper around BIOS function `GetSystemInfo()`.
+
+- examples: Added `pads` and `system573` examples. Also added CMake build
+ script to `cartrom`, which is now built alongside all other examples.
+
+- Header files are now installed to `include/libpsn00b` instead of
+ `lib/libpsn00b/include`.
+
+- Deprecated `malloc.h` and removed all references to it (`stdlib.h` should be
+ used instead). Moved `int*_t` and `uint*_t` types to `stdint.h`.
+
+- Fixed file permission errors when attempting to install the SDK on macOS and
+ made some small updates to `INSTALL.md`, which is now `doc/installation.md`.
+
+## 2021-10-31
+
+spicyjpeg:
+
+- Added `tinyxml2` and `mkpsxiso` as git submodules and removed the (admittedly
+ short-lived) `SKIP_*` options completely. CMake's `ExternalProject` is no
+ longer used to download dependencies at build time.
+
+- Added CMake presets file with presets for building installer packages.
+
+## 2021-10-25
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- Made a very tiny change in the readme file.
+
+- Included some of the indev directory from the SVN repository.
+
+## 2021-10-17: 0.17
+
+spicyjpeg:
+
+- Added `SKIP_TINYXML2` and `SKIP_MKPSXISO` build options in place of the old
+ `SKIP_DOWNLOAD` option, and a new `BUNDLE_TOOLCHAIN` option for building
+ packages. Updated `INSTALL.md` accordingly and fixed git branch error when
+ downloading mkpsxiso during build.
+
+- Rewritten `toolchain.txt` (which is now `TOOLCHAIN.md`) and added proper
+ Windows toolchain build instructions.
+
+- Added safety checks in CMake scripts to ensure `elf2x`/`mkpsxiso` are
+ installed before attempting to build an executable or CD image.
+
+- examples: Added CMake build script to (and removed makefile from) `vagsample`.
+
+## 2021-06-10
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- psxspu: Fixed register typo in `SpyKeyOn` causing unpredictable instability.
+
+- psxspu: Fixed bug where `SpuKeyOn` does not set the key-on bits for voices 16
+ to 23.
+
+- examples: Added `vagsample` SPU example.
+
+## 2021-09-27
+
+spicyjpeg:
+
+- liblzp, tools: Fixed tools not building on MSVC and cleaned up LZP API
+ declarations (replaced meaningless `void*` pointers with proper types).
+
+- libpsn00b: Added missing `PSN00BSDK_VERSION` CMake variable.
+
+- examples: Fixed childexec (`parent.exe`) example crashing due to the child
+ executable not being relocated in the new build script. Patched n00bdemo to
+ suppress `liblzp` pointer type warnings.
+
+- Fixed another MSVC linker error when building `tinyxml2` automatically, as
+ well as various toolchain/compiler test errors sometimes thrown by CMake.
+ Updated `INSTALL.md` with more details.
+
+## 2021-09-13
+
+spicyjpeg:
+
+- Migrated libpsn00b, tools, examples and template to CMake, added a top-level
+ `CMakeLists.txt` and the `libpsn00b/cmake` directory for CMake setup scripts,
+ got rid of the old makefiles and installation method.
+
+- Updated docs to match the new build system, moved installation instructions
+ to `INSTALL.md` and added `doc/cmake_reference.md` describing the SDK's CMake
+ API and variables.
+
+- mkpsxiso: Added rules to automatically download, build and install mkpsxiso
+ (as well as its dependencies) as part of the SDK.
+
+- cpack: Added initial CPack support and created the cpack directory containing
+ branding assets for installers built through CPack. A shell script is
+ provided to regenerate the assets from their source SVGs.
+
+- liblzp: Copied library headers to `libpsn00b/include/lzp`.
+
+- psxetc: Fixed a random typo in a javadoc comment (those should be eventually
+ rewritten into proper documentation anyway).
+
+- Added CMake, VS Code and DLL related entries to `.gitignore`.
+
+## 2021-08-16: 0.16
+
+spicyjpeg:
+
+- psxetc: Added dynamic linking APIs (`dl*`, `DL_*`), implemented in `dl.c` and
+ `_dl_resolve_wrapper.s`. The APIs can be accessed by including `dlfcn.h`,
+ while another header (`elf.h`) provides structs and enums to help with manual
+ parsing of library headers.
+
+- libc: Removed `_mem_init.s`, improved heap initialization code. Added support
+ for setting how much RAM to use for the stack (by defining `STACK_MAX_SIZE`)
+ and for overriding/replacing the default memory allocator.
+
+- psxapi: Added wrapper around BIOS function `FlushCache()`.
+
+- psxspu: Fixed wrong bounds check in `SpuSetTransferStartAddr()`.
+
+- examples: Added an example showing how to compile dynamically-loaded
+ libraries (DLLs) and load them at runtime using the new dynamic linker.
+
+- libpsn00b: Added `libpsn00b/ldscripts` directory and linker scripts for both
+ executables and DLLs. Also fixed several broken header files (`psxgpu.h` not
+ including `sys/types.h`, missing `scanf()` declarations, ...).
+
+- Rewritten most makefiles (both for libraries and examples) and centralized
+ all compiler flags into a single `psn00bsdk-setup.mk` file for consistency
+ and easier editing. Added flags to build libpsn00b without gp-relative
+ addressing for compatibility with the dynamic linker. Also added `nm`
+ commands to generate symbol maps required by the linker.
+
+## 2021-07-01
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- Libpsn00b: Added `int8_t`, `int16_t`, `int32_t`, `int64_t`, `uint8_t`,
+ `uint16_t`, `uint32_t` and `uint64_t` variable types in `sys/types.h`.
+
+- psxgte: Replaced unsigned int variable types with `u_long` to further improve
+ compatibility with code written for the official Sony SDK and to make my
+ tutorial examples easier to compile on PSn00bSDK. Example programs have been
+ updated to account for this change.
+
+- psxcd: Changed type of 2nd argument of `CdRead()` from `u_int` to `u_long`,
+ as well as changing the type of the size element in `CdlFILE` from `u_int` to
+ `u_long`.
+
+## 2021-02-17
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- Improved build instructions in readme file and fixed some typos.
+
+- Improved `toolchain.txt` instructions.
+
+- tools: Added experimental `elf2cpe` converter for executing PSn00bSDK
+ programs in official development units. No debug symbols however.
+
+- Fixed prefixes to allow SDK libraries and examples to be built
+ with `mipsel-none-elf`.
+
+- examples: Fixed typo in `plasma_tbl.h` causing multiple definitions when
+ compiling with newer versions of GCC in `n00bdemo`.
+
+- examples: `cartrom` example now marked as obsoleted, but still kept for
+ reference purposes.
+
+- Includes alextrevisan's GTE macros in `inline_c.h`.
+
+- Added makefile template.
+
+## 2021-01-05
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- psxgpu: Added struct names to many primitives.
+
+- psxgte: Defined `SquareRoot0()` and `SquareRoot12()`.
+
+- psxgte: Added `gte_lddp()` C macro.
+
+- examples: Added C++ demo.
+
+- Updated readme a bit.
+
+## 2020-11-29
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- libpsn00b: Defined MDEC hardware and related DMA registers in `hwregs_a.h`
+ file.
+
+- psxgte: Fixed entry typo in table of `squareroot.s` (pointed out by
+ SoapyMan).
+
+- libc: `memmove` updated to account for forward-looped memory move (by
+ ckosmic).
+
+- examples: Removed redundant toolchain executable definitions in the
+ makefiles.
+
+- examples: Included HDTV example for Github repo.
+
+## 2020-09-19
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- Revised makefiles for building the libraries and examples in a way to make
+ building with different toolchain versions easier with the `PSN00BSDK_TC`
+ environment variable. Library installation and linking is also made easier
+ with the `PSN00BSDK_LIBS` environment variable. See readme in the `libpsn00b`
+ directory for details.
+
+- examples: Fixed libgcc not found error when compiling some of the examples.
+
+- libc: Added `strtok()`.
+
+- libc: Added support for command line arguments. Pass arguments via
+ `SYSTEM.CNF` `BOOT=` string or a string array with `Exec()`. Arguments can
+ be read via `argc`/`argv[]` in `main()` or `__argc`/`__argv` anywhere else.
+
+- libc: Added `SetHeapSize()`.
+
+- psxgpu: Moved ISR and callback subsystem to `psxetc`. You'll have to link
+ psxetc after `psxgpu` and `psxapi` after `psxetc` in your library string.
+
+- psxetc: Moved debug font functions (`FntInit()`, `FntOpen()`, etc) to `psxgpu`.
+
+- psxetc: Fixed stack management in `RestartCallback()`.
+
+- examples: Added argument passing in `childexec` example.
+
+- psxcd: Fixed crashing on PSIO and possibly some emulators by implementing
+ a response buffer read limiter.
+
+- psxgpu: Interrupts are now disabled before setting up ISR and callbacks in
+ `ResetGraph()`, as `LoadExec()` still has interrupts enabled when jumping to
+ the loaded PS-EXE's entrypoint. Fixes programs made with PSn00bSDK crashing
+ at `ResetGraph()` on PSIO when loading from the Menu System and possibly some
+ emulators.
+
+## 2020-07-25
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- psxgte: Added `ScaleMatrixL()`.
+
+- doc: Corrected documentation for `CdReadSync()` function.
+
+- psxcd: Added new define: `CdlIsoLidOpen`.
+
+- psxcd: Updated media change detection logic, media change is checked
+ by lid open status bit in all CD-ROM file functions. `CdControl()` calls will
+ also trigger the media change status on lid open.
+
+- psxcd: Fixed bug in `CdGetVolumeLabel()` where it constantly reparses the
+ file system regardless of media change status.
+
+- examples: Updated `cdrom/cdbrowse` example slightly.
+
+- psxcd: Added `CdLoadSession()`.
+
+- psxcd: Fixed bug where `CdReadDir()` locks up in an infinite loop when it
+ encounters a NULL directory record, and the parser has not yet exceeded the
+ length of the directory record.
+
+- doc: Replaced library version numbers with SVN revision numbers in the
+ introduced fields.
+
+- doc: Started work on CD-ROM library overview.
+
+## 2020-04-24
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- Refined toolchain instructions a bit.
+
+- psxcd: Added automatic read retry for `CdRead()` operations, as long as
+ `CdReadSync()` is called until read completion.
+
+- psxapi: Added BIOS `atoi()` and `atol()` calls. Temporary, may be replaced
+ with a faster implementation.
+
+- psxsio: Added `ioctl()` support for `FIOCSCAN` to probe for pending input in
+ serial tty driver.
+
+- examples: Reorganized examples, added new `tty` and `console` examples.
+
+## 2020-03-11
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- psxcd: Fixed `CdInit()` syntax (there should be no arguments).
+
+- psxcd: Fixed `CdlFILE`, `loc` variable renamed to `pos`.
+
+- documentation: Improved and updated toolchain instructions a bit.
+
+## 2020-02-28
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- documentation: Added docs for `CdOpenDir()`, `CdReadDir()` and
+ `CdCloseDir()`.
+
+- psxgpu: Added `GetODE()`.
+
+- psxspu: Fixed `SpuKeyOn()` bug where only 16 of the 24 channels can be
+ activated, due to channel bits being written as a 16-bit word.
+
+- psxcd: Added `CdOpenDir()`, `CdReadDir()` and `CdCloseDir()` for parsing
+ directories.
+
+- psxcd: Issuing `CdlNop` (`GetStat`) commands now triggers the media change
+ flag internal to the libraries when CD lid is opened, so file system
+ functions can update the cached ISO descriptor when the disc has been
+ changed.
+
+- psxcd: Made internal variables and functions for iso9660 parsing static.
+
+## 2020-02-25
+
+thp:
+
+- libc: Added `abs()` and `labs()` functions.
+
+## 2020-01-06
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- libpsn00b: Renamed `libpsxcd` directory to `psxcd` to match with other
+ libraries.
+
+- examples: Added obligatory hello world example.
+
+- documentation: Added CD-ROM library documentation.
+
+## 2019-11-22: 0.15b
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- psxapi: Added root counter or timer functions and related definitions.
+
+- examples: Added timer example.
+
+- psxgpu: Added `DR_AREA`, `DR_OFFSET` and `DR_TWIN` primitives and
+ accompanying `setDrawArea()`, `setDrawOffset()` and `setTexWindow()` macros.
+
+- psxgpu: Added parenthesis to argument value in `setlen()`, `setaddr()` and
+ `setcode()` macros, preventing `addPrims()` from being used in a more
+ sensible manner (ie. `addPrims(ot, sub_ot+3, sub_ot)`).
+
+- examples: Added render2tex render to texture example.
+
+- psxspu: Fixed typo in `spuinit.s` on section specifier specifying a data
+ section instead of text section, resulting to jump to
+ non-instruction-aligned linker errors.
+
+- psxgpu: Increased ISR stack size to 2048 bytes.
+
+- psxsio: Added `kbhit()` to poll keyboard input asynchronously and stdin
+ is now buffered with an IRQ handler.
+
+- psxapi: Added `AddDummyTty()` (for psxsio `DelSIO()` fix).
+
+- psxsio: `DelSIO()` now calls `AddDummyTty()`.
+
+- libc: Fixed bug in `strncpy()` not placing a NULL byte at end of string.
+
+- libc: Fixed `strchr()` and `strrchr()` declarations commented out in
+ `string.h`.
+
+- libpsn00b: Added the long awaited libpsxcd library with cdxa example.
+ Documentation will come soon but existing libcd docs should be good
+ enough for awhile.
+
+- psxgpu: Fixed non functioning GPU DMA wait in `DrawSync()`.
+
+- LibPSn00b run-time library is now officially 0.15b.
+
+## 2019-10-11
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- psxetc: Added `FntOpen()`, `FntPrint()` and `FntFlush()` functions.
+
+- psxgpu: Fixed typo in `termPrim()` macro (value too long).
+
+- examples: Added billboarding sprites example.
+
+- psxapi: Transferred `putchar()` BIOS function to libc.
+
+- libpsn00b: Updated makefiles adding `-fdata-sections` and
+ `-ffunction-sections` so unused functions will be stripped out, which yields
+ smaller executables.
+
+- libc: Fixed negative integers not displaying properly in
+ `vsprintf()`/`vsnprintf()`.
+
+- libc: Fixed zero padding not working in `vsprintf()`/`vsnprintf()`.
+
+- fpscam: Added debug text using `FntOpen()`, `FntPrint()` and `FntFlush()`.
+ Also added `_boot()` call for returning to CD based serial loaders.
+
+## 2019-09-23
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- libc: Added `strcat()` function.
+
+- Included PSn00bSDK logo vector.
+
+- psxgte: Added `gte_stsz()` macro.
+
+- psxgpu: Fixed typos in `setUVWH()` macro.
+
+- Added `_boot()` BIOS function (A(A0h) aka Warmboot, useful for CD based
+ serial loaders).
+
+## 2019-08-17: 0.13b
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- LibPSn00b run-time library is officially version 0.13b.
+
+- examples: updated balls and n00bdemo examples for the `setDrawTPage()`
+ correction.
+
+- psxgpu: Fixed error on `setDrawTPage()` syntax and removed
+ `setDrawTPageVal()` macro (not needed).
+
+- psxapi: Added event handler definitions related to memory cards.
+
+- psxapi: Added BIOS memory card functions.
+
+- examples: Added childexec example demonstrating a parent executable
+ transferring execution to a child executable and back.
+
+- elf2x: `s_addr` no longer set on PS-EXE header, console BIOS already sets it
+ by STACK value in `SYSTEM.CNF` and allows child executables to return to
+ parent if left zero.
+
+- psxapi: Renamed `_InitPad()`, `_StartPad()` and `_StopPad()` to `InitPAD()`,
+ `StartPAD()` and `StopPAD()` respectively. Fpscam example updated to new
+ syntax.
+
+## 2019-07-18
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- Added `fpscam` example.
+
+- Gave examples small descriptions.
+
+- Updated readme a little.
+
+## 2019-07-17: 0.12b
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- LibPSn00b run-time library is officially version 0.12b.
+
+- libc: Added basic C++ support (many thanks to ijacquez).
+
+- libc: Updated start function that should make it possible for a child
+ executable to return to a parent executable, return logic automatically
+ calls `EnterCriticalSection()`.
+
+- libc: Updated build method which takes libgcc from the compiler and adds
+ its own object files into it, eliminating linker problems caused by having
+ to order libc and libgcc libraries in a specific manner.
+
+- psxgpu: Added `RestartCallback()`.
+
+- psxgpu: Added `StoreImage()` function.
+
+- psxgpu: Fixed bugged `setRECT()` macro.
+
+- libc: Added `assert.h`.
+
+- examples: Balls example now has 166% more balls.
+
+- psxgpu: Increased ISR stack size to 1024 bytes so printf can be used in
+ callbacks safely.
+
+- libc: Removed `int64` (long long) printing in `vsprintf()` for better
+ performance, as the R3000 does not support 64-bit arithmetic natively
+ so its emulated like floats. `int64` still used for processing floats and
+ doubles and old `vsprintf.c` file is still included for those who really
+ want int64 support for whatever reason.
+
+- libc: Removed `stdarg.h` which is part of GCC and not license compatible
+ with MPL. The toolchain compiled with libgcc provides `stdarg.h` and other
+ standard headers.
+
+- examples: Updated `sdk-common.mk` variable convention for better flexibility.
+
+- libpsn00b: Added `common.mk` file containing global values for all libraries.
+
+- Updated library and toolchain build instructions.
+
+- psxgpu: Fixed bug in DMACallback where the internal DMA handler would fail
+ to install due to `GetInterruptCallback()` retrieving the callback value
+ immediately in the branch delay slot of a jr instruction, which resuls to
+ an inconsistent return value. This also broke `DrawSyncCallback()`.
+
+- psxsio: Done fixes on `_sio_control()` from the aformentioned issues with
+ load instructions in delay slots.
+
+- psxgte: Added `DVECTOR` struct.
+
+- psxgpu: Added `setLineF2()`, `setLineG2()`, `setLineF3()` and `setLineG3()`
+ primitive macros.
+
+- Added more functions in documentation.
+
+## 2019-07-01
+
+williamblair:
+
+- Fixed `FntLoad()` Y coordinate not working properly for debug font (due to
+ Y coordinate not being specified for the `getTPage()` macro.
+
+## 2019-06-23: 0.10b
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- LibPSn00b Run-time Library is officially version 0.10b.
+
+- Reworked readme file with improved build instructions.
+
+- libpsn00b: Added missing C extern groups for C++ compatibility in
+ `psxapi.h`, `stdlib.h` and `string.h`.
+
+- libpsn00b: Removed changelogs in the readmes of each libpsn00b library
+ as its much easier to keep track of changes in a single changelog than
+ scattering them across multiple changelogs.
+
+- psxapi: Added `Exec()` function and EXEC struct.
+
+- psxgpu: Added `DrawPrim()` function (uses direct I/O).
+
+- psxgpu: `VSync()` function completely overhauled. Logic is now based on
+ Sony's code but more efficient and can return total number of vblanks
+ elapsed, number of hblanks since last call and wait up to n vblanks
+ specified by an appropriate argument value. It will also generate a timeout
+ when vblank interrupt stops working and would attempt to restart it.
+
+- psxapi: Added `gets()` and `getc()` BIOS functions.
+
+- psxapi: Corrected a `putc()`/`putchar()` discrepancy. `putc()` puts a
+ character to a file stream, `putchar()` puts a character to stdout.
+
+- Completely revised library reference manual with better formatting and
+ more functions documented.
+
+- psxgpu: Added `DrawSyncCallback()`.
+
+- psxgpu: Implemented DMA interrupt callback system with `DMACallback()`
+ allowing to handle DMA interrupts very easily.
+
+- libpsn00b: Implemented Serial I/O library (`psxsio`) with serial tty device
+ (installed using `AddSIO`) and serial callback support. Serial library
+ is also fully documented.
+
+- psxgpu: Implemented IRQ callback system with `InterruptCallback()` allowing
+ to set interrupt callbacks very easily.
+
+- psxgpu: Implemented proper IRQ handler installed using HookEntryInt or
+ `SetCustomExitFromException()` for handling VSync and other interrupts.
+ `ChangeClearPAD(0)` must now be called after `_InitPad()` or vsync timeout
+ will occur.
+
+- libpsn00b: Started making local labels prefixed with `.L` instead of `.`
+ making them not appear in symbol lists resulting in a cleaner symbol dump.
+ Still not possible to do function-scope local labels like in ASMPSX because
+ GAS syntax is ASS (or ASS GAS which is farts, GAS is farts).
+
+- psxgpu: `DrawSync()` function now waits for DMA completion and GPU transfer
+ ready instead of simply waiting for GPU transfer ready which is the likely
+ cause of subtle GPU related timing issues, it also sets GPU DMA transfer
+ mode to off afterwards. It can also read number of words remaining in DMA
+ transfer if a0 is non-zero but it likely only returns the correct value on
+ VRAM transfers. Exact way how `DrawSync()` returns the count in the official
+ SDK is currently unknown.
+
+## 2019-06-07
+
+qbradq:
+
+- lzpack: Swapped a buffer length litteral with sizeof operator, fixing a stack
+ overflow bug in some instances.
+
+## 2019-05-23
+
+Lameguy64:
+
+- Added `dev notes.txt` file in docs that includes notes about the many quirks
+ quirks about the console discovered during the development of this SDK
+ project.
+
+- Updated `libn00bref.odf` a little.
+
+- Added `cartrom` example.
+
+- Added `rgb24` example.
+
+- Got custom exit handler set using `SetCustomExitFromException()` (BIOS
+ function B(19h)) working. Currently used to acknowledge VSync IRQ but
+ actual VSync handling is still done with events and needs to be
+ transferred to the custom exit handler. At least it lets BIOS
+ controller functions to work now. See doc/dev `notes.txt` for details
+ on how this handler behaves.
+
+- Made stack usage in `ResetGraph()` less wasteful. You only need to
+ allocate N words on stack based on N arguments of the function
+ being called.
+
+- VSync IRQ handling now done using a custom exit from exception handler.
+ Actual VSync handling is yet to be moved to the custom exit handler
+ though.
+
+- Made stack usage in `start.s` of libc a lot less wasteful.
+
+- Implemented controller support via BIOS functions (use `_InitPad()`,
+ `_StartPad()` and `_StopPad()`). BIOS memory card functions may also
+ work as well but its not tested yet.
+
+- Removed duplicate `initpad.s` and `initcard.s` functions in psxapi.
+
+- Added `_InitCd()` function to psxapi which is a safer version of `_96_init()`
+ as it preserves other DMA channel settings. Use BIOS file functions such
+ as `open()`, `read()` and `close()` with path names starting with `cdrom:/`
+ to access files from CD after calling `_InitCd()`.
