Version 0.9 22nd June 1996

Fixed boldface display. I only noticed this when the new "top" in procps-1.01
didn't display properly!
Updated referenced to 1.3 kernels to read 2.0.
Added some help about compiling.

Version 0.8 25th April 1996

Minor mods to the Makefile to allow it to compile on 1.3.80+ kernels.
Small code cleanups so that it compiles cleanly with -Wall using gcc 2.7.2.
Mention of 4K boards in the README as some people have trouble with them.
Automatic Major number detection with script to install.
Hercules graphics version from Jeff Epler included.

Version 0.7 21st July 1995

Jon Knox lent me "Programmers Guide to PC & PS/2 Systems" by Richard Wilton.
I've now got hold of some of the information I have been after for a while.
6845 detection is included. I haven't included any fancier detection (eg. for
Hercules etc. because I have no access to any other hardware).


Version 0.6 18th July 1995

Added some vt100 escape sequence support. you can now do

    top>/dev/mono

unfortunately you can't do 

    top>/dev/mono& 

and expect it to keep running. I suspect that this is because /dev/mono is not
a tty and therefore doesn't detach from the console.
 
Included <linux/autoconf.h> to allow people using CONFIG_MODVERSIONS to
compile mda "out-of-the-box".


Version 0.5 9th July 1995

Added support for Backspace and DEL characters 'cos someone wanted to use
gdb on the mono monitor and it looks better if you can delete characters.
Changed major device number to 31. the iBCS2 emulator uses device number 30
so I moved it up one. If this software gets more common I may apply for
a "legal" device number -- and we'll all have to change it again!


Version 0.4 6th July 1995

Fixed a stupid scrolling bug.


Version 0.3 4th July 1995

Added hardware assisted scrolling. This is now *much* faster.


Version 0.2 4th July 1995

Allow /dev/mono to be opened by multiple users. This means that the output
can get scrambled by unsynchronised writes by different processes but it
is just *too* useful to be able to use >/dev/mono 2>/dev/mono.

Version 0.2 4th July 1995

Allow /dev/mono to be opened by multiple users. This means that the output
can get scrambled by unsynchronised writes by different processes but it
is just *too* useful to be able to use >/dev/mono 2>/dev/mono.


Version 0.1 3th July 1995

First incarnation as a kernel loadable module.
