Not an official WIP (a WIP WIP? A meta-WIP?), just throwing in the new
fullscreen code, and I noticed that OpenGL colors in 30-bit mode are all
fucked up now for some strange reason. So I'm just using this snapshot
to debug the issue.

Changelog:
- GBA: SOUND_CTL_H is readable, fixes sound effects in Mario&Luigi
Superstar Saga [Cydrak] (note: game is still unplayable due to other
bugs)
- phoenix/Windows: workaround for Win32 API ListView bug, fixes slot
loading behavior
- ruby: added udev driver for Linux with rumble support, and added
rumble support to existing RawInput driver for XInput and DirectInput
- ethos: added new "Rumble" mapping to GBA input assignment, use it to
tell higan which controller to rumble (clear it to disable rumble)
- GBA: Game Boy Player rumble is now fully emulated
- core: added new normalized raw-color palette mode for Display
Emulation shaders
The way rumble was added to ethos was somewhat hackish. The support
doesn't really exist in nall.
I need to redesign the entire input system, but that's not a change
I want to make so close to a release.

Changelog:
- importing a game won't show message box on success
- importing a game will select the game that was imported in the list
- caveat: GTK+ port doesn't seem to be removing focus from item 0 even
though the selection is on item 2
- Game Boy audio reduced in volume by 50%
- Game Boy Advance audio reduced in volume by 50%
- Game Boy internally mixes audio at 2MHz now
- Game Boy Advance's Game Boy audio hardware internally mixes audio at
2MHz now
- Game Boy Color doesn't sort sprites by X-coordinate
- Game Boy Color allows transparency on BGpriority pixels
- caveat: this seems to allow sprites to appear on top of windows
- Game Boy Color VRAM DMA transfers 16 bytes in 8 clocks (or 16 clocks
in double speed mode)
- Game Boy Color VRAM DMA masks low 4-bits of source and destination
address
- Game Boy Color VRAM DMA only allows reads from ROM or RAM
- Game Boy Color VRAM DMA only allows writes to VRAM
- fixed a bug in dereferencing a nullptr from pObject::find(), should
fix crash when pressing enter key on blank windows
- fixed Windows RadioItem selection
- Game Boy Advance color emulation code added
byuu says:
Updated to support latest phoenix changes.
Converted Settings and Tools to TabFrame views.
Errata:
- phoenix/Windows ComboButton wasn't calling parent
pWidget::setGeometry() [fixed locally]
- TRACKBAR_CLASS draws COLOR_3DFACE for the background even when its
parent is a WC_TABCONTROL

Changelog:
- nall: fixed major memory leak in string class
- ruby: video shaders support #define-based settings now
- phoenix/GTK+: support > 256x256 icons for window / task bar / alt-tab
- sfc: remove random/ and config/, merge into system/
- ethos: delete higan.png (48x48), replace with higan512.png (512x512)
as new higan.png
- ethos: default gamma to 100% (no color adjustment)
- ethos: use "Video Shaders/Display Emulation/" instead of "Video
Shaders/Emulation/"
- use g++ instead of g++-4.7 (g++ -v must be >= 4.7)
- use -std=c++11 instead of -std=gnu++11
- applied a few patches from Debian upstream to make their packaging job
easier
So because colors are normalized in GLSL, I won't be able to offer video
shaders absolute color literals. We will have to perform basic color
conversion inside the core.
As such, the current plan is to create some sort of Emulator::Settings
interface. With that, I'll connect an option for color correction, which
will be on by default. For FC/SFC, that will mean gamma correction
(darker / stronger colors), and for GB/GBC/GBA, it will mean simulating
the weird brightness levels of the displays. I am undecided on whether
to use pea soup green for the GB or not. By not doing so, it'll be
easier for the display emulation shader to do it.

Changelog:
- added Cocoa target: higan can now be compiled for OS X Lion
[Cydrak, byuu]
- SNES/accuracy profile hires color blending improvements - fixes
Marvelous text [AWJ]
- fixed a slight bug in SNES/SA-1 VBR support caused by a typo
- added support for multi-pass shaders that can load external textures
(requires OpenGL 3.2+)
- added game library path (used by ananke->Import Game) to
Settings->Advanced
- system profiles, shaders and cheats database can be stored in "all
users" shared folders now (eg /usr/share on Linux)
- all configuration files are in BML format now, instead of XML (much
easier to read and edit this way)
- main window supports drag-and-drop of game folders (but not game files
/ ZIP archives)
- audio buffer clears when entering a modal loop on Windows (prevents
audio repetition with DirectSound driver)
- a substantial amount of code clean-up (probably the biggest
refactoring to date)
One highly desired target for this release was to default to the optimal
drivers instead of the safest drivers, but because AMD drivers don't
seem to like my OpenGL 3.2 driver, I've decided to postpone that. AMD
has too big a market share. Hopefully with v093 officially released, we
can get some public input on what AMD doesn't like.
