- Short: P96/CGFX v1.2 graphics benchmark program
- Author: Jens Langner <htw10895@informatik.htw-dresden.de>
- Uploader: Jens Langner <htw10895@informatik.htw-dresden.de>
- Type: gfx/board
- Version: 1.2
-
- Description:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- P96Speed is a graphics benchmark program.
-
- It will test standard graphics routines of graphics and intuition library.
-
- It is absolutly independent and should work with any known graphics system
- like Picasso96/CyberGraphX or simply on standard AGA screens.
-
- You can also compare different systems with P96Speed.
-
- Please report any problem or suggestion directly to me.

- - Motorola MC68020 processor or better,
- - gtlayout.library v16+ (Olaf Barthel)
- - identify.library v8+ (Richard Koerber)
-
- P96Speed is EMailware. This means, if you are using this program you have to
- write a email to me (htw10895@informatik.htw-dresden.de).

- Short history:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- 1.2 (February 10, 1999)
- February 10, 1999
- - after a long night I removed a mungwall hit which was caused by a bad
- initialized timer.device. This hit corrupted the memlist which often
- ends up in random crashes. (Jens Tröger)
- February 09, 1999
- - found/removed a enforcer hit which happened on using the menu shortcuts.
- February 08, 1999
- - added french localization. (Pascal Chiozzi)
- - added russian localization. (Russian Amiga Translation Organization)
- - found/removed bug in the locale initialization which caused weird pointers
- that sometimes hung the system.
- - found/removed ugly bug in the load IFF routines where I didn`t terminated
- strings correctly.
- February 06, 1999
- - found/removed bug which caused recoverable alerts on "reload database"
- (Rene. W. Olsen)
- February 04, 1999
- - reordered the shortcuts(Hotkeys) for the testroutines to be more simple
- (Niels Knoop)
- - hopefully removed the ugly GUI bug when switching the Pagegroups, the
- standard buttons got corrupt. (Niels Knoop)
- - fixed the installscript to work correctly with the new installer
- (SaVInstaller) (Jens Tröger)
- February 02, 1999
- - reordered the testroutines in the "compare machine" register and also
- added the forgotten difference field.
- (Niels Knoop)
-
- 1.1 (January 30, 1999)
- January 28, 1999
- - removed the requirement of the identify.library introduced with the
- v1.0 version. Now you can also use P96Speed without this library, but
- a warningrequester will pop up. (Tobias Abt)
- January 27, 1999
- - implemented new testroutine Draw() Hor/Ver, that tests the speed of
- drawing horizontal and vertical Lines. (Niels Knoop)
- December, 1998
- - disabled multitasking for ScrollRaster() routines.
- - doublechecked all drawroutines again to be sure to NOT draw outside the
- RastPort which caused crashes with WritePixelLine8().
- - modified the way that all tests are run. Now the screen will not close
- and open everytime if you running "Run all tests."
- - The Draw() testroutine will now draw a circle to test the speed. This way
- of testing Draw() is more "standard" ;)
- - WritePixel() will now draw all pixel on random colors.
- - included some more error-checks
- - added a requester to tell the user that he/she is trying to load an
- incompatible version of a database.
- - removed bug on the autoselection of the screenmode.
- - changed the BuildEasyRequesters to act as v2.0+ EasyRequest requesters.
- (Jens Tröger)
- - using my best friends tools lib "savage.lib" with many useful functions.
- (Jens Tröger)
- - removed a ugly bug in the list/node handling (Jens Tröger)
-
- 1.0 (December 8, 1998)
- November, 1998
- - bumped version up to v1.00 because P96Speed is final now. All known bugs
- should be removed.
- Please report any bugs who are left directly to:
- htw10895@informatik.htw-dresden.de
- - recompiled P96Speed with StormC v3.0
- all future versions of P96Speed will be compiled with StormC
-
- 0.18ß (internal release)
- October, 1998
- - added feature to also select the source machine for the comparsion.
- - added feature to select the comparsion machine directly from the
- comparsion page.
- - added long awaited locale support. Now every guy can tune his own
- translation (P96Speed.cd included)
- - fixed bug in the ScreenTitle allocation.
- - forgot to free some memory in the list/node routines
- - added more information to the database like Owner, E-mail etc.
- - removed ugly bug in the TAB_KIND notification with the AutoPageID feature
- of gtlayout. (Olaf Barthel)
- - rewritten the IFFParse routines completly from scratch. Implemented it in
- a way that future versions of P96Speed will stay compatible in the file
- format. Earlier versions ( < 0.18ß) are now incompatible with the file
- format of the compare datas. Iam sorry for that but this change was
- needed to keep the format compatible in future versions.
- - added feature to sort the entries in the database (Top/Up/Down/Bottom).
- - Now you can directly choose a screenmode if the programm requests you for
- one.
- - Changed the way the save button will be handled. It will change its name
- in the different pagegroups.
- - Changed the layout of the GUI a little bit to solve problems with long
- strings
- - again optimzed the timing routine that calculates the executed operations
- per second.
- - now P96Speed uses GetSysTime() instead of requesting Time with
- TR_GETSYSTIME this should make the tests more accurate.
- - removed bug in the WritePixelLine8() routine. The lines were drawn
- outside the rastport what results in some crashes on PAL Screens.
