Bumped version number, so we start all over again.

normal control functions (ie, pressing Ctrl-q will not quit, but send
this combo directly to CompuMate).
Mapped Func-Space to the Backspace key for CompuMate keyboard.
Func-space (which is actually Ctrl-space is still supported).
Updated documentation for CompuMate changes and system requirements.

z26 code never actually implemented this, so I'm not sure how people
actually entered Basic code. I guess not many people have played
with and tested this before.
Added more sensible keys for the CompuMate 'space' and 'enter' keys.
They're still mapped to '/' and ';' respectively (to keep locations
on the keyboard the same), but are also mapped to the actual 'Space'
and 'Enter' keys (to make usage much easier). I'll probably also
map 'Shift-;' to Backspace as well.
Updated documentation for CompuMate emulation.

shifted keys from the keyboard. Most control-keys are
supported too, but still TODO is allow the Control key to
pass to the CompuMate controller and not pre-process it
by the EventHandler (so pressing Ctrl-q) shouldn't quit
emulation in that case).

Renamed various 'Fire' button events to prevent the above problem
from happening again.
In BoosterGrip games, the right mouse button now sends the 'booster'
event, allowing one to play Omega Race fully with the mouse.

when it isn't needed. According to SDL this shouldn't be necessary, but
some combinations of video modes and audio hardware cause sound to stop
working if it's repeatedly opened and closed. So we have to keep it open.
Always attempt to use 2 channels (aka stereo) when opening the SDL audio
device. This is now required, since ROMs can request mono or stereo mode,
and the sound system can no longer be closed and re-opened with the
desired settings. So we need to always use 2 channels to accommodate
when it might be needed. This actually more closely emulates the 2600,
which does have two audio channels. The 'mono' vs 'stereo' ROM property
basically controls whether these channels are exposed (ie, does the
virtual console have two-channel audio hardware installed). In that sense,
these settings control how the channels are mixed.
Updated some settings to have more reasonable defaults.
Added acknowledgement for people that have donated hardware to help with
development.

saved per device, so that unplugging and replugging a joystick won't cause
the previous mappings to be lost.
All attributes of a joystick (ie, number of sticks, number of axes, buttons,
hats on each stick) are dynamic, meaning that hardcoded values are no
longer used, making the handling more robust.

desktop on OSX and Windows, and the home directory in Linux.
The associated commandline has been changed to 'snapdir'.
Added 'GL VBO' toggle button to the Video Settings UI, and in
general cleaned up its interface.

Blargg NTSC filtering, but we need to revert to base functionality first.
Cleaned up the debugger API wrt converting values from integers to strings
(and vice-versa). There is now only one method for each of these functions,
rather than several ways to do so. In the process, convert from unsafe
sprintf functions into snprintf (eliminate potential buffer overflows).
The debugger 'print' command now indicates if any assigned label represents
a read-only location (R), a write-only location (W), or a read/write location
(R/W).
Fixed bug in DataGridWidgets (used in debugger ROM and CPU registers), where
scrolling the mouse-wheel would cause a segfault. Scrolling the mousewheel
now changes these items as expected.

contents. The file was being accessed and read, but the commands it contained
weren't being executed! This bug appeared in April 2010, so it looks like
not many people are using this feature (or at least they're not reporting it).
Cleaned up a few compiler warnings in DebuggerParser class.
Bumped version # for beta release.

digital, hat and keyboard input.

The debugger 'saverom' command now uses absolute filenames, and by default
will save data in the users home directory if a proper path isn't included
in the filename. This fixes a major bug where ROMs were being saved to
the current or application directory, which in some cases were invalid
locations.

when changing between video modes). Added extra signature to the
bankswitch autodetection for the 4A50 scheme.

- it is changed in the "Input Settings' UI, not in 'Video Settings'
- it only has meaning while in emulation mode
- it is enabled by default

Updated documentation with info about 2600-daptor, including
usage and its creator. Also included more in-depth explanation
for the various controller types.
Errors from the Thumb ARM emulation code are now caught as exceptions,
and thrown to the parent class instead of calling exit() and simply
crashing Stella. For now, the messages are simply printed and
emulation continues. This will be expanded to show a detailed crash
log in the debugger, and offer the option to exit the ROM.
Removed most of the menus from the OSX port. They weren't being
maintained anyway, and most of them didn't work. I've modelled this
on the way other cross-platform OSX programs work (notably, ScummVM).
Basically, there are menus for exit and help, but otherwise you
should use the menuing system in the application itself.

which are specialized paddles classes that invert the axis, direction,
and axis+direction, respectively. Updated all applicable ROMs in the
properties database.
Cleaned up the menus in the OSX port; some of them weren't even tied
to anything. I'm seriously considering removing them all, except for
the Help and Quit items.

- mouse can now emulate joystick, booster-grip and driving controllers
- digital and mouse sensitivity for paddles can now be tweaked
separately, and have a greater range
- the mouse now correctly honours its controller setting, and only
controls a device on one one port (not both at the same time)
Added support for 2600-daptor device. Credit for creator of device
is forthcoming. This device is basically an updated Stelladaptor,
with improved handling for paddle data.
Grabmouse functionality is no longer user-definable; the mouse is
always grabbed while playing a game, and released otherwise.

launcher is selected, not the actual ROM directory. This speeds up
access, because generally you'll want to audit the directory you're
actually looking at.

much free time over the past month or so.
