        !             6: 
        !             7: 
        !             8:  Version 0.40 (2003-07-11):
        !             9:  --------------------------
        !            10: 
        !            11: - Support for ZIP and GZIP compressed disk images!
        !            12: - Configuration file support for loading and saving the emulator settings.
        !            13: - Hatari now works on machines with Sparc CPUs, too.
        !            14: - Fixed a problem that slowed down the emulator in monochrome mode when using
        !            15:   TOS 2.06.
        !            16: - Inverted monochrome mode is now supported, too (some games like Maniac
        !            17:   Mansion use this).
        !            18: - Added Mega-ST compatible real time clock (RTC) emulation.
        !            19: - The GEMDOS HD emulation has been improved (it now also works with lower-case
        !            20:   file names) and many bugs have been fixed there.
        !            21: - Improved keyboard mapping (added mapping via PC keyboard scancode and via
        !            22:   reloadable mapping files).
        !            23: - The screen rendering routines have been generalized (less differences between
        !            24:   windowed and fullscreen mode).
        !            25: - Hatari can now be cross-compiled, too. You can even compile it for MiNT now.
        !            26:   However, it does not run very well there yet.
        !            27: - Support for RAM TOS images.
        !            28: - Improved memory mapping (the different memory regions should now behave much
        !            29:   more like on a real ST).
        !            30: - Improved M68k exceptions (bus errors and exception cycle timings).
        !            31: - Fixed some bugs in the extended VDI resolution mode (now it is working with
        !            32:   EmuTOS, too).
        !            33: - Some games that poll the write-protection signal of the FDC to check for
        !            34:   disk changes should now be working, too.
        !            35: 
        !            36: 
        !            37:  Version 0.30 (2003-03-12):
        !            38:  --------------------------
        !            39: 
        !            40: - Some parts of the code accessed the SR directly to read the IPL -
        !            41:   however the UAE CPU core only updates the SR when doing a MakeSR() first.
        !            42:   So this is done in the affected code parts now, too.
        !            43: - The IPL wasn't raised when a MFP interrupt occured - fixed now.
        !            44: - Full screen resolution for ST-Low can now be selected from the screen setup
        !            45:   dialog.
        !            46: - The IKBD emulation does not longer duplicate joystick fire buttons when
        !            47:   a game tries to use both, joystick and mouse 
        !            48: - Improved audio timer function - the code should now be a little bit faster.
        !            49: - Resynced Hatari's UAE CPU core with UAE 0.8.22 - this fixes some bugs in 68k
        !            50:   instructions like ABCD and SBCD.
        !            51: - Added patches for TOS 2.05 so that this TOS version should now work, too.
        !            52: - Rewrote TOS patching routine. It is much more flexible now.
        !            53: - Removed 0xa0ff opcode for VDI resolutions; using GEMDOS_OPCODE now instead.
        !            54: - Fixed MMU RAM size configuration bug.
        !            55: - Rewrote some more screen conversion functions in C.
        !            56: - When a bus or address error occurred, the PC was often not set to the
        !            57:   right exception handler routine. This has been fixed now.
        !            58: 
        !            59: 
        !            60:  Version 0.25 (2002-12-30):

        !            63: - Patches for big endian systems (Spectrum 512 pictures are now working there).
        !            64: - Hatari now also compiles and runs under Mac OS X.
        !            65: - Blitter emulation has been added.
        !            66: - There is now the possibility to save YM or WAV sounds.

        !            68:
