Priorities
|
|
|
|
|
==========
|
2020-07-13 00:54:18 +00:00
|
|
|
* Clean out old unused files - scons build system is dead, cmake is the way to go.
|
2020-08-13 01:15:13 +00:00
|
|
|
* GTK GUI was not cross-platform. A Qt5 version of the GUI has been created to meet this need.
|
|
|
|
|
I will keep the GTK GUI around for Linux users who prefer it, but when it comes to adding new features
|
|
|
|
|
the Qt GUI is where I plan to add them first (if at all).
|
2020-10-22 02:54:31 +00:00
|
|
|
* The Qt GUI has by far exceeded the capabilities of the older GTK version. Below is a GUI capability
|
|
|
|
|
matrix showing the differences between the two. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING THE Qt GUI.
|
2020-08-13 01:15:13 +00:00
|
|
|
* Code cleanup. Lots of compiler warnings with newer GCC. Maybe I'm OCD... but these warnings bother me.

Features
|
|
|
|
|
========
|
2020-07-13 00:54:18 +00:00
|
|
|
* Emulator no runs as a separate thread from the GUI. Much improved performance.
|
2022-01-12 02:54:52 +00:00
|
|
|
* Cross platform QT GUI is fully functional
