Version 2.1.1 of XZX, a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48/128/+3 emulator for UNIX/X11
has been released. It's currently under ftp://nvg.unit.no/pub/spectrum/incoming
as xzx-2.1.1.tar.gz and will be moved to /pub/spectrum/utils/other directory.
XZX is known to work on the following machines/operating systems:
Sparc - Solaris 2.2 & 2.3, SunOS 4.x
Intel - SVR4, Linux, SCO, FreeBSD, SINIX
Mips - SVR4, DEC Ultrix, SGI Irix
IBM RS6000 - AIX v3.2.x
Hewlett Packard - HP/UX
DEC Alpha - OSF/1
Motorola 68K - Bull B.O.S. (but very slowly even on a 68040)
XZX will work with color (8,16,24,32bpp) and monochrome displays; contrasting
colours are displayed with the darker colour in black and the lighter colour in
white, which works reasonably well. Halftoning is used if the scaling factor
is increased.

>From the ChangeLog:
Version 2.1.1 (Tue Dec 3 19996)
-------------
o Changed lincense conditions (see the COPYRIGHT file). THE CODE MAY NOT BE
MODIFIED OR REUSED WITHOUT PERMISSION!
o Some values in the Z80 v3.0+ snapshot header were not correctly
interpreted. Added more debug prints in the snaphot code.
o LINTified source code.
o Changed XDEBUG into D_X11 debug level.
o Fixed a bug in SBC_HL macro where the P/V flag got wrong values. Cauldron
depends on it.
o Moved all configuration variables from Imakefile to xzx.config (Des
Herriot).
o Register DE didn't get loaded from SNA snapshots.
o Save keyboard issue settings to Z80 snapshot.
o The Z80 operations LD H,n and DAA were broken in v2.1.0.
o Changed the possible lowest time interval (ms/frame) that is selectable
in the Generics Menu from 10 to 1. Note that PC based machines allow
only steps of 10ms.
o You must confirm overwriting an existing file when saving the Spectrum
screen.
o Support for Z80 v3.05+ format snapshots.
o TAP browser
Enjoy
