manually up to this point:
- 'rom_diff.pl' command inspects two directories and looks at differences
in filenames, and copies ROMs into 3 new directories (ADDED, REMOVED,
and CHANGED). This is most useful for when RomHunter releases new
romsets.
- 'merge_props.pl' command merges all properties from a source file that
also exist in a destination file. This is useful when I do a mass-edit
of many ROMs, with the info being saved into my personal stella.pro file.
Running this command afterwards will 'merge' them into the master
stella.pro file, and then Stella can be recompiled with the new properties.

Checking in first pass at revamping the 'mcontrol' functionality. The idea is
that the mouse will be able to emulate different controllers on each of its
axes. For now, the left mouse button is tied to the X-axis, and the right to
the Y-axis. These modes will be saved per-ROM, meaning that the mapping can
be different for each ROM (it is saved as part of the ROM properties). Only
the paddles and driving controllers will allow this, since they're the only
controllers where a single axis makes sense.
Switching between mouse modes will be done with Control-0 (the Control-1..3
keys have been removed). This will allow switching all possible combinations
(left controller, right controller, per-ROM setting, etc).

these logs!
Moved TODO and Credits info directly to the webpage, where it will hopefully
be easier to maintain.
Fixed 'crackling' sound when loading a new ROM, introduced with the 3.5
sound restructuring. It looks like stale data was being loaded by the
sound processing callback. As well, moved the computation of certain
division variables from the sound callback to the framerate re-calculator
(where it's recomputed 1/5 of the time or less).
Updated AboutDialog with info about Stella DonationWare status, and active
members of Stella development.
Updated OSX in-app HTML documentation about Stella DonationWare status.
Bumped version # to 3.5.1_svn, and the process starts again.

Also, fixed a potential future bug where Stella can't handle paletted
images. Basically, the error handling is now more robust.
Minor rework of the CartF8 class; it now looks the ROM MD5 directly and
decides if it's a 'special' ROM.
Several updates to the built-in properties database, including better
support for each game in the 8-in-1 ROM image.
Fixed crash in TIA handling of the playfield mask; it could cause a
segfault under certain circumstances.
Fixed bug in prune_snapshots script; it now properly handles directory
names containing spaces in both Linux and OSX (and probably Windows as
well, but this hasn't been tested).
Updated built-in PNG library to the latest version (1.4.3).

axes. It shouldn't be nearly as sensitive now.
Cleaned up handling of joystick hats, and fixed continuous events
(so that holding down a hat now sends continuous events until the
hat is centered again).
Fixed bug in prune_snapshots script; it didn't work with a snapshot
directory name containing a space.

'Stephen Anthony' (aka, me) in addition to Brad Mott as copyright
holders for Stella. I think I've been with the project long
enough now (almost 10 years) to justify being specifically mentioned
above and beyond 'the Stella Team'.

The license file is actually named 'License.txt', not 'license'
The 'Stella Team' has a capital T, not lowercase.

as if they were 32in1 carts, in that you have to do a on-off power cycle to
switch between each ROM.
Updated ROM properties for the aforementioned BS types, and fixed some
others (SWOOPS, etc).
Added PERL tool to scan a snapshot directory and report any extra and/or
missing snapshots.

Added CRT simulation as described by Ian Bogost in the AtariAge thread
'CRT simulation for Stella. This is just the first pass, but things
are working nicely so far (for those systems that can support it). It
requires at least OpenGL 2.0 with GLSL (GL Shading language). Added
the commandline arugments 'tv_tex', 'tv_bleed', 'tv_noise' and 'tv_phos'
used to set these various effects, as well as the ability to set them
within the Video Settings dialog. More documentation is forthcoming
on this.
All bankswitch modes that use SC RAM now act correctly when reading
from the write port (the RAM is erased).
Patching ROMs with bankswitch type 0840, SB, UA and X07 is now working.
Went through all the bankswitch classes and converted multiplication/
division to shift operations whenever possible. It's a
micro-optimization, but what the heck; every little bit of speed counts.
