1. Implement new single-precision add/subtract routine that more closely follows the real B5500 logic.
2. Implement tests/B5500SPMathTest.html testbed to exercise the new add/subtract implementation.
3. Implement new way to focus the ConsolePanel window after the SPO becomes ready during initialization.
4. Add "?db=" parameter to tools/B5500DeleteStorageDB.html to specify the disk storage data base name.
5. Implement "Execute Single" button in B5500SyllableDebugger to preserve the T register when testing a single syllable.
6. Implement "octize" and "pic*" function in B5500Util to support tests/B5500SPMathTest.html.
7. Commit minor changes to webSite index page and GitHub README.md.
Commit version 1.03b:
1. Remove initial window open/close (to destroy any existing windows) from Console, I/O device classes, and configuration utilities.
2. Commit Mark XV MESAGE/CANDE file for reconstructed SYSTEM tape, donated by Rich Cornwell.
Commit version 1.03a:
1. Correct character translation for even-parity tape operations.
2. Implement normal tape space operation for tape maintenance space operation (temporary solution to fix problem with Mark XV tape parity recovery -- Mark XIII did not issue maintenance space I/Os).
3. Modify B5500MagTapeDrive to report EOF+parity when attempting to ready beyond the end of the internal tape image (previously reported only parity error).
4. Restate B5500Processor delay deviation and processor slack time average calculations and increase the alpha for the running exponential averages to smooth out the reporting on the B5500ConsolePanel.
5. Improve delay timing calculation for B5500CardPunch, B5500CardReader. and B5500LinePrinter.
1. Implement new system and disk subsystem configuration mechanism.
2. Implement initial Mark-XIII Cold Start card deck for use with new configuration interfaces.
3. Deprecate use of B5500ColdLoader.html script (replaced by new configuration mechanism and Cold Start deck), but correct and enhance IndexedDB database detection, creation, and deletion in it.
4. Implement "Application Cache" support to allow emulator to run off-line in a browser.
5. Implement web-font support and update all UIs to use DejaVu Sans and DejaVu Sans Mono from downloaded .woff or .ttf font files.
6. Rework some code in Processor OPDC, DESC, and indexDescriptor routines, attempting to resolve Flag Bit errors (issue #23). This appears to result in some improvement, but we still see them occasionally under load.
7. Line Printer:
- Implement new line printer driver with more realistic UI and operator controls.
- Implement Algol Glyphs option to render special Algol characters in Unicode.
- Implement support for optional "greenbar" shading on the "paper".
8. SPO:
- Redesign SPO driver to accept input from a text <input> element instead of capturing keystrokes directly from the window or "paper" <iframe>. This was done to allow input from tablet and mobile devices that will not pop up a keyboard unless an input-like element has the focus.
- Implement Unicode Algol Glyphs support on output.
- Intelligently resize "paper" area when SPO window is resized.
- Accept "_" as a substitute for "~" as end-of-message on input.
9. Card Punch:
- Implement Unicode Algol Glyphs support on output.
- Implement stacker-full annunciators in UI.
10. Card Reader:
- Implement Unicode Algol Glyphs support on input.
- Accept "_" as a substitute for "~" on input.
11. Disk:
- Adapt B5500DiskUnit driver to new configuration mechanism.
- Implement support for Model-IB (slow) disk and non-DFX disk storage configurations; support up to 20 EUs.
- Implement check for DKA readiness in cc.load() if not doing card-load-select.
12. Datacom:
- Rework datacom driver keystroke handling for compatibility with Google Chrome.
- Correct typo (line 437) in B5500DatacomUnit reported by Peter Grootswagers (issue #28).
13. Magnetic Tape:
- Implement more granular tape reel animation in B5500MagTapeDrive.
- Open the tape loader window on top of its device window.
14. Correct color of NOT READY lamps in peripheral device UIs; convert <progress> bars to <meter> elements.
15. More intelligently resize peripheral UI controls when their window is resized.
16. Implement lamp test during power-on in B5500Console.
17. Illuminate NOT READY light on Console at power-on if certain minimum configuration requirements are not met.
18. Set all HTML <meta> Content-Type character sets to UTF-8 (were ISO-8859-1); correct problem with FireFox requiring the character set to be specified within the first 1024 characters of an HTML file.
19. Clean up and refactor CSS style sheets
20. Split Javascript code out from B5500Console.html to new B5500Console.js.
21. Refactor common UI routines into webUI\B5500Util.js.
22. Move images and fonts to new webUI/resources directory; rearrange files in webUI/tool, tools, tests, source directories of repo.
23. Make significant wiki updates to document the new features in this release.
2. Redesign B5500Console.html to support the Power On, Power Off, Halt, and Load buttons, along with a primitive mechanism to drive the Normal/Control lights.
3. Implement relative URLs for the <script> elements. This is a work in progress.
4. Commit Nigel's fix for the annoying problem with Firefox where typing "/" on the SPO brings up a QuickFind dialog.
5. Commit Mark XIII DCMCP transcription as of 2013-03-20.
6. Move B5500ColdLoader and KERNEL.DISK under webUI directory tree.
2. Fix character-mode B-register handling in Processor and slightly optimize some stream syllables.
2. Fix I/O-finished interrupt signaling (or rather, the lack thereof) in IOUnit.
3. Change system option settings in ColdLoader based on recent MCP tests.
4. Commit minor improvements to SyllableDebugger.
5. Commit version of KERNEL object code for use with SyllableDebugger.
6. Commit Mark XVI DCMCP transcription as of 2013-03-17.
2. Commit test cases used to debug ALGOLXEM under new "tests" directory.
3. Commit new CODEDUMP55.alg_m utility to prepare a semi-formatted dump of a B5500 code file.
4. Commit further typographical corrections to B5500 Algol compiler source uncovered during conversion and debugging of ALGOLXEM.
