# Changelog

Contract versions of the Retro Remote Debug Controller (see [SPEC.md](SPEC.md)).

Semantic versioning: MAJOR = breaking change to an existing endpoint, MINOR =

additive (new endpoint / optional field), PATCH = clarification. Every minor so

far has been purely additive — older clients keep working, and a server

advertises the highest level whose backend callbacks are all present via

`/status.contract`.

## 0.3.0

- `POST /mem?addr=&bank=` — write (poke) memory; bytes in the request body,

  returns `{"written":n}`. Backend callback: `write_mem`.

- `GET /audio` — drain synthesised PCM since the last call as a self-describing

  WAV (the audio analogue of `/screenshot`); `X-Rrdc-Audio-Dropped` header on

  ring overflow. Backend callback: `capture_audio`.

- The NEC PC-FX (Mednafen) fork joins as the fourth conforming emulator, the

  second to vendor the C core as a git submodule.

## 0.2.0

- `POST /key?text=|code=[&down=]` — inject input (press / release / tap).

  Backend callback: `inject_key`.

- `POST /reset` — soft/cold reset. Backend callback: `reset`.

- Contract gating introduced: a NULL callback returns 501 for its endpoint and

  lowers the advertised contract, keeping partial backends honest.

## 0.1.0

- Initial contract: `GET /status`, `GET /screenshot` (PPM), `GET /mem`,

  `GET /regs`, `POST /step`, `POST /pause` / `POST /resume`.

- Shared C core (`core/retro_control.{c,h}`) — sockets, HTTP, PPM/JSON encoding,

  and cooperative pause/step, driven by three loop hooks. Backend callbacks:

  `read_mem`, `get_regs_json`, `get_framebuffer`, `get_frame_count`.

- Shared pytest client (`client/emu_control.py`) and the platform-agnostic

  conformance suite. Reference implementation: the Commander X16 fork.
