Updated docs for impending 2.5 release. I still have to add documentation
for Rom Info and Rom Audit functionality. That's the worst thing with
adding new features; I have to document them :)

generic joystick buttons.
Added complete keyboard/joystick support for all 4 paddles. Associated
paddle resistance decrease/increase/fire to joystick events in the
'spirit' of z26 (ie, joy0 left/right/fire is paddle 0, joy1 left/right/fire
is paddle 2, etc). These events can still be remapped independently
of joystick events, of course.
First real attempt at adding 4A50 bankswitch support, which is currently
being modelled on the E0 scheme (they're somewhat similar). The code
still doesn't work, of course.
Fixed bug in FASC scheme whereby reading from a write port didn't generate
an associated write as a side-effect. Thanks to Kroko of AtariAge for
the advice and partial code.

doing some final testing, with the release coming on Monday, Aug. 20.

Added '-channels' commandline argument, which allows setting the 'Cartridge.Sound'
property (the property was already present; this just adds a way to set it
from the commandline).
Added ability to change the locations for state saves, cheatfile, palette file
and properties file. These are now changable from within the application
(Options -> Files & Snapshots -> Config Files. They're also changable from the
commandline with '-statedir', '-cheatfile', '-palettefile', and '-propsfile'.
Fixed issues in commandline handling; maybe I should just use GNU getopts.
Updated the documentation. I guess that means a new release is close ...

and all associated settings/UI elements. It wasn't actually used anywhere
in the current properties database, and would definitely disappear in the
next version of the TIA class anyway.

the OSX port, but I'm not getting feedback, so I'll do a release and then
deal with the complaints :(

Snapshot support is now always included, since it doesn't require libpng
and is only about 100 lines of code. If your particular port doesn't want
it, then don't bind an event to it :)
Removed changeWidth() and changeHeight() TIA functionality, in preparation
for the release after this one when it will disappear completely from the
core. Current ROM's which have these properties set will still function,
as long as 'tiadefaults' isn't turned on. Of course, one can still edit
the properties manually, but I'd like to discourage it.
Updated event strings in EventHandler. We now consistently refer to the
first joystick/paddle/driving controller/etc as zero.
Some more updates to the manual. I think it's pretty much complete at
this point.
Bumped version number to '2.3_rc1'. I'm basically finished at this point.
All that's left to do is make sure the weird OSX crashes some people are
having are fixed, and I'm awaiting feedback on that one.

Changed all functions #define'ed in bspf.hxx to be named more consistently
(BSPF_functionname...), to make it more obvious what they are.
Changed 'DEVELOPER_SUPPORT' to 'DEBUGGER_SUPPORT' everywhere. Originally,
developer support was to encompass more than just the debugger, but since
there's no longer a reason to exclude the other stuff (due to most of it
being very useful even for non-developers), it makes sense to rename the
option. Those ports using 'configure' will need to update the arguments
used.

property (Yes or No).
Changed the static initialization of Scaler related items to use const char*
instead of string, since the WinCE port has trouble with that.
Updated 'scale_ui' and 'scale_tia' to use lowercase options. So those
settings will be reset with this commit.
Added all recently added options to Settings::usage().
Huge update to the user manual. Things are getting very close now :)

rectangle merging. This makes the 'dirtyrects' option more relevant,
since now if it's turned off, dirty rectangles are not merged, and
the screen is updated with SDL_Flip() instead of SDL_UpdateRects().
This new functionality is very similar to how z26 works, but
experiments on my Linux system show it to be twice as fast on
average :) Dirty rectangle merging now defaults to off. I'm
leaving it in, since it benefits people in some cases. Basically,
non-dirty-rect support is optimal when many things are changing
onscreen at once, at the cost of more constant and generally slightly
higher CPU usage. Dirty-rect support is optimal at larger resolutions,
where it's usually at least twice as fast as without, but is suboptimal
at larger resolutions when lots of stuff is changing. At some point in
the future, maybe Stella itself can automatically switch modes depending
on which is faster at any point in time.
Added "[..]" previous directory functionality to BrowserWidget, the same
as already in the LauncherDialog. Thanks for Alex and Lou for the
reminder.

'Controller.PaddleNo', replacing it with 'Controller.SwapPaddles' (Yes/No
type argument). The reasoning being that in combination with
'Console.SwapPorts', paddle 0 can be the default for any ROM as follows:
ROM uses paddle 0 as default:
Console.SwapPorts -> No
Controller.SwapPaddles -> No
ROM uses paddle 1 as default:
Console.SwapPorts -> No
Controller.SwapPaddles -> Yes
ROM uses paddle 2 as default:
Console.SwapPorts -> Yes
Controller.SwapPaddles -> No
ROM uses paddle 0 as default:
Console.SwapPorts -> Yes
Controller.SwapPaddles -> Yes
Updated all ROMs that don't default to paddle 0. This works for all
paddle input, both analog from mouse and/or joystick and digital from
keyboard, joystick, etc.

Updated copyright dates on all headers (the reason for this huge update).
First pass at updating the user manual for all the new changes in the codebase.
Bumped version number to 2.3_alpha. It's getting close folks.

Cleaned up some errors in unzip code.
Removed some OSX stuff that didn't need to be in CVS.
