Release History
|
||||
===============================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
2.3.5 to 2.4: (August 20, 2007)
|
||||
|
||||
* Added new video sub-system where fullscreen and windowed modes are treated
|
||||
differently. Windowed modes now use '-zoom_tia' and '-zoom_ui' arguments,
|
||||
while fullscreen modes can be specified by resolution using the new
|
||||
'-fullres' argument.
|
||||
|
||||
* Widescreen video modes are now supported; Stella will simply center the
|
||||
image with surrounding black borders.
|
||||
|
||||
* Many UI-related changes, including resizable ROM launcher and debugger
|
||||
windows, and a new UI palette (the previous 'classic' palette is still
|
||||
available). This is still a work in progress.
|
||||
|
||||
* The locations of all major config files (statedir, palette file,
|
||||
cheat file, properties file, etc) are now configurable from the
|
||||
commandline and within the UI.
|
||||
|
||||
* Updates to TIA palette support. Added SECAM support, and removed the
|
||||
built-in 'original' palette. Standard, z26, and user are still
|
||||
available.
|
||||
|
||||
* Various bugfixes to some debugger commands. The 'run' command no
|
||||
longer causes a crash, and several others have better error-checking.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added more complete cartridge auto-detection for Commavid (CV), 3E,
|
||||
3F and Activision (FE) formats.
|
||||
|
||||
* Removed XStart and Width ROM properties, since the forthcoming TIA
|
||||
rework won't be using them.
|
||||
|
||||
* Reworked internal storage of ROM properties to be faster and take up
|
||||
less space.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added several different ways of stretching the OpenGL image to the
|
||||
'-gl_fsmax' argument, for more flexibility.
|
||||
|
||||
* Removed OpenGL aspect ratio setting favour of the previously mentioned
|
||||
video changes. We'll see how this goes.
|
||||
|
||||
* Removed dirty-rect support from software rendering, since it was actually
|
||||
sub-optimal in Windows and OSX and defaulted to off in previous versions.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added support for gzipped ROMs.
|
||||
|
||||
* Re-added pause support.
|
||||
|
||||
* Re-added support for Windows 98.
|
||||
|
||||
* Removed support for 'STELLA_BASEDIR' environment variable, since each
|
||||
config file can be now configured separately.
|
||||
|
||||
* Removed '-fastscbios' argument, since it must always be turned on.
|
||||
|
||||
* Removed PSP support, since it hasn't been updated in over a year, and
|
||||
someone else is maintaining another port elsewhere.
|
||||
|
||||
* For the Unix/Linux port; fixed 'make install' issues, and changed icon to
|
||||
PNG format.
|
||||
|
||||
Have fun!
