At the moment, this is + experimental, "use at your own risk" code. It is not guaranteed that + future versions of the emulator will be able to read snapshots saved by + this version. Test it and report bugs. + +User-visible changes in 0.8.16: + - AGA playfield support (again) (Toni Wilen) + - In addition to plain mono and stereo, there's a new sound setting "mixed". + - There's a new option to set CPU speeds more accurately, it's called + "finegrain_cpu_speed". + - Numerous bug fixes + - Graphics should be faster; optimized code was accidentally commented out + in the previous release. + +User-visible changes in 0.8.15: + - A few changes in the core of the custom chip emulation; this should mean + more accuracy in general, but likely also a few new bugs in this version. + It may be a little slower as well. + - "68040" emulation. Dedicated to all the clueless folks out there. + (with thanks to Christian Bauer) + +User-visible changes in 0.8.14: + - More bug fixes: + * CPU emulation problem that could have caused copy protection schemes to + malfunction has been fixed. + * Some AGA problems fixed (one of them visible in ECS modes). + * UAE should work again on non-x86 systems. + - By default the emulator will try to approximate an A500 in CPU speed. + This setting existed before, but it's a bit more accurate now and on by + default. + - There is a new option to control the number of emulated disk drives. + - Software autofire for the keyboard joystick replacements + +User-visible changes in 0.8.13: + - Bye bye GGI port + - Several bugs fixed, mostly in the filesystem code + - AGA updates + +User-visible changes in 0.8.12: + - Several bugfixes + User-visible changes in 0.8.11: - Finally, an accurate copper emulation, thanks to Sam Jordan. - Sprite emulation fixes, also due to Sam Jordan.
