Release History
===============================================================================
2.6 to 2.6.1: (May 21, 2008)
* Introduced more accurate timing for NTSC vs. PAL modes, where the
framerate is based on the number of scanlines per frame. This should
eliminate 'clicking' sounds when emulating ROMs that don't follow
the exact NTSC or PAL specs.
* Added ability to see the current number of scanlines and corresponding
framerate to the TIA emulation. This can be set with the '-stats'
commandline argument, or dynamically turned on and off with the
'Alt-l' key combo.
* Fixed issue with debugger disassembly and mirrored $40 TIA write
addresses. They were actually defined at $30, and generating incorrect
labels.
* Fixed issue in AtariVox and SaveKey controllers where accessing the
EEPROM sometimes failed after the first write.
* Changed AtariVox and SaveKey EEPROM emulation to default to $FF for
a blank EEPROM.
* Fixed regression in cart auto-detection logic; some F6 ROMs were being
misdetected as E7.
* Fixed issue with M6532/RIOT timer initialization; it was causing some
ROMs to hang (most notably Summer Games). Related to this, reworked
the built-in random number generator to generate 'more random' numbers.
* Fixed bug in CommandMenu where console buttons (Select, Reset, etc)
weren't doing anything.

<h2><b>New in Release 2.6</b></h2>
<h2><b>New in Release 2.6.1</b></h2>
<ul>
<li>Added AtariVox support using a real AtariVox device, where Stella
sends data directly to the AtariVox. For now, this is supported in
Linux/UNIX, OSX, and Win32 only. You'll obviously need a real
AtariVox, and a serial<->USB adaptor to connect it to your system.
Added '-avoxport' commandline argument used to set the serial port
to which the AtariVox is connected. Special thanks to Al Yarusso
and Richard H. for providing sample hardware.</li>
<li>Introduced more accurate timing for NTSC vs. PAL modes, where the
framerate is based on the number of scanlines per frame. This should
eliminate 'clicking' sounds when emulating ROMs that don't follow
the exact NTSC or PAL specs.</li>
<li>Added AtariVox and SaveKey EEPROM emulation. This reads/writes data
to a 32KB file, not to the actual hardware. Very useful for testing
EEPROM support without actually wearing out the real device. Special
thanks to J. Payson for providing the EEPROM emulation code, and A.
Herbert for answering many driver-related questions.</li>
<li>Added ability to see the current number of scanlines and corresponding
framerate to the TIA emulation. This can be set with the '-stats'
commandline argument, or dynamically turned on and off with the
'Alt-l' key combo.</li>
<li>Added support for CX-22, CX-80, and AmigaMouse trackball controllers.</li>
<li>Fixed issue with debugger disassembly and mirrored $40 TIA write
addresses. They were actually defined at $30, and generating incorrect
labels.</li>
<li>Improved debugger symfile handling so that addresses accessed as
read-only won't use write-only labels (and vice-versa). More work
is still needed in this area.</li>
<li>Fixed issue in AtariVox and SaveKey controllers where accessing the
EEPROM sometimes failed after the first write.</li>
<li>Added M6532/RIOT tab to the debugger. This will be expanded on in a
future release.</li>
<li>Changed AtariVox and SaveKey EEPROM emulation to default to $FF for
a blank EEPROM.</li>
<li>Added TIA emulation fixes for graphical glitches in Escape from the
Mindmaster, Mission Survive, Solaris, and SWOOPS!</li>
<li>Fixed regression in cart auto-detection logic; some F6 ROMs were being
misdetected as E7.</li>
<li>Fixed bug where fullscreen OpenGL scaling wasn't working on 4:3 monitors.</li>
<li>Fixed issue with M6532/RIOT timer initialization; it was causing some
ROMs to hang (most notably Summer Games). Related to this, reworked
the built-in random number generator to generate 'more random' numbers.</li>
<li>Further improvements to the M6532/RIOT emulation, which unfortunately
have broken old state files (again).</li>
<li>Added deadzone setting, for adjusting the deadzone amount for
analog joysticks. This can be set using the commandline argument
'-joydeadzone' or dynamically within the UI.</li>
<li>Make ROM disassembly in debugger take advantage of a wide window.</li>
<li>Fixed bug in 6507 BCD handling introduced in the last release.</li>
<li>For the Win32 port; Win9x should be fully supported again.</li>
<li>Fixed bug in CommandMenu where console buttons (Select, Reset, etc)
weren't doing anything.</li>
