RAM to do so, which I agonized over for about a week, but I feel it's
a fairly good tradeoff for the features we get. Eventually, I may come
up with a more accurate phosphor mode which eliminates this approach
entirely.
Reverted OpenGL framebuffer to 32-bit colour mode. We're using Blargg
effects, so we may as well get the full fidelity out of it. Besides,
testing has shown that there's not much speed difference between 16
and 32 bit modes, making me think that 16-bit is probably be swizzled
to 32-bit anyway.
Bumped release date to June 1, version to rc1.

for phosphor effects. It's just not ready to go yet, more research is
needed, and I just don't have the time to fix it. Besides, it's been
two months since the last release, and I need a vacation.
Because of this, the release date is changed to May 25.

instead of the entire area. This fixes the speed regression from 3.6,
since the main TIA texture is now larger than before. Previously it
was 160 pixels wide out of 256 total (rounded to power of two), now
it's 560 wide out of 1024 total. In 3.6 it was updating a buffer 256
pixels wide, in the latest beta releases it was sending 4 times as
much data (256 -> 1024). Now it sends only 160/560. Similar
improvements happened with the height as well (210 lines vs 256).
On my test systems at least, this is an extremely large win,
resulting in similar speeds as 3.6 even though we've moved to a 32-bit
framebuffer.
Bumped version # for next beta release.
Pushed release date to June 1, to make absolutely sure I have
everything fixed and ready to go.

ahead of the release, I bet there's still a file I forgot to update ...

Updated documentation for impending 3.5 release.

Removed reference to disassembly 'SKIP' command, since it isn't implemented
yet.
Decided on Nov. 15 for the 3.3 release date, and updated all relevant files.

The UNIX builds for Debian and Redhat/RPM now default to using the
builtin PNG and zlib libraries. This will ease issues at release
time, since we don't need to worry about those libraries being
present on the destination systems.

(ie, disabling from the UI kills the UI on future runs, so you can't
enable it again). This should fix problems where users go
'click-happy' in the UI, turning options on and off just to see what
happens.
Added 'showinfo' to the UI, so you don't have to drop to the
commandline to use it.
Updated all release files and bumped version number for 3.1.2
release.

Bumped state file header for 3.1 release, indicating that all older
state files will no longer work.

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

debugger disassembly improvements, so it will have to wait until 3.1.
Updated various files for impending 3.0 release.
