Release History
===========================================================================
3.6.1 to 3.7: (May xx, 2012)
3.6.1 to 3.7: (May 18, 2012)
* Added Blargg TV effects, with presets for Composite, S-video, RGB,
and badly adjusted TV, and well as a custom mode with full
configurability of contrast, brightness, gamma, etc. Many
keyboard shortcuts and commandline arguments were added to support
this; see the documentation for a detailed explanation. These
effects are OpenGL-only. Special thanks to Ian Bogost and the
Georgia Tech Atari Team for the preliminary implementation.
* Updated the CompuMate keyboard handler to recognize more keys on an
actual keyboard, instead of having to remember the weird combinations
