 ===========================================================================
 
+3.5 to 3.5.1: (January xx, 2012)
+
+  * Fixed bug in sound restructuring introduced in the last release; in
+    some cases, there could be some sound 'crackling' when starting a
+    ROM after at least one ROM had already been loaded.
+
+  * Fixed bug in 'Fixed Debug Colors' mode; under certain circumstances,
+    playfield graphics could be colored as being player graphics.
+
+  * Added ability to modify the SWCHB/SWBCNT port B registers to the
+    debugger I/O tab.
+
+  * Added CompuMate bankswitching support to the emulation core;
+    the SpectraVision Compumate ROM now works.
+    (FIXME - this may not be complete)
+
+  * Added emulation for MindLink controller; Bionic Breakthrough, Mind
+    Maze and Telepathy ROMs now work.
+    (FIXME - this may not be complete)
