YIQ-format palette.
Removed compile-time option for DISPLAY_TV. NTSC filtering will always
be compiled into the app, but will only actually be used in OpenGL mode.

only (IOW, actually usable on Intel-only systems). Going forward,
this will be the default install. The old one will be for 10.4-10.5
PPC/Intel 32-bit, which will eventually be phased out.

first time that paddle movement is able to be set from within
the debugger!

I/O tab in the debugger. For now, only joystick is
partly implemented. Eventually, all Stella controllers
will have UI items (where it makes sense), allowing to
completely control input devices from within the
debugger.

other than that specified by 'romdir'. I'm not going to document
this functionality, since it's a convenience function that will
probably only be used by me anyway.

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.

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.

don't normally use the commandline (mostly Windows, but in some cases OSX as
well). The 'showinfo' commandline argument has been renamed 'loglevel', but
it has the same purpose. A new option 'logtoconsole' has been added, which
determines whether log output should also be directed to the commandline/
console (previously, it was always printed to the console). All these items
are now accessible from Options -> System Logs.
For anyone reading this (and that cares), now I can finally move on to the
OpenGL rewrite. The plan is that the new code will use OpenGL ES, which
is a subset of OpenGL 1.5. The main advantages are that you won't need
an advanced OpenGL card, and OpenGL ES is supported on most new 'smaller'
systems (iPhone, Android, etc), making ports much easier.

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.

That's why I'm not bumping the final version number until
just before the release ...

This basically shows a messagebox as soon as the debugger starts,
describing the error and offering the choice to continue debugging
or exiting the ROM entirely.
The DPC+ code now catches fatal errors from the Thumb ARM
emulation code and shows it as a fatal error in the debugger.
This means you no longer need to look at the commandline for
this output, and you immediately know that something has
gone wrong.
Added 'exitrom' debugger parser command, which completely exits
from the debugger *and* the ROM, going back to the ROM launcher.
Cleaned up the API a little, rearranging some classes and
adding references instead of pointers. More work to be done
in this area.

console (which doesn't exist on every platform). Also use proper C++
stringstreams instead of C-style arrays (which are evil). If an exception
is thrown, start the debugger with a fatal error message. Currently, this
message is simply printed in the debugger info window. Still TODO is add
a dialog to show the entire input from within the UI, as well as a way
to exit the ROM when a fatal error occurs.
Cleaned up the API a little, adding explicit declarations for when a method
can throw an exception. Also merged some empty classes directly into their
header files.
Added functionality to the System class for querying whether it has
been reset while in 'autodetect' mode. Autodect mode is defined as
when Stella starts and temporarily runs to autoconfigure itself.
Some classes (such as Thumb ARM emulation) need to know this, and
suppress debugging output/throwing exceptions when not running in
normal emulation mode.
I hope to have a new release done by the end of this week, or the end
of the month at the latest.

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.

Wrapped THUMB ARM emulation in a define, so that it can be excluded
from builds. To enable it, the 'THUMB_SUPPORT' directive must be
included in the build process. This has been added to the OSX
project files, but is still TODO for Linux and Windows.
Removed some obsolete include paths from the OSX project files,
dating back about 5 years or so.

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 various header files. Basically, I'm following advice from
Effective C++, and including only what's absolutely necessary. For
definitions that don't need to be included, the designation 'class xxx'
is used instead. This could potentially lead to faster compile times.

addresses used as part of code execution (ie, from the PC) during emulation.
This gives Distella much more information than can be determined from a
static analysis alone, resulting in an extremely accurate disassembly.
This also allows to generate very accurate debugger .cfg files.
Not all carts have been ported to this new scheme yet, particularly ones
having extended RAM that can be mapped out dynamically.
Note that this new scheme doubles the amount of RAM used for storing ROM
images, so up to 128KB extra will be used. There's also a small runtime
check for each instruction executed. Preliminary testing doesn't show
any slowdowns, but we'll see how it goes.
