I'm still waiting on a test ROM to verify that its output is valid.

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.

it should always display the playfield colour, even if it
would normally use P0/P1 colours in normal mode.

mean 'hardware-accelerated, double-buffered'. This distinction
is important, since eventually such a mode won't necessarily be
OpenGL-backed (it might be Direct3D, OpenGLES, etc).

1, 2, 3.

Eventually I'll find a more elegant way to represent this.

'const string&', which saves a string c'tor call each time they're
accessed.

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.

They were being saved correctly for all sticks, but only loaded for
the first one.
Removed some redundant settings related to TV effects stuff.

ROMs with an odd # of scanlines will display the image in
black & white, just as on a real system.

it will erase previous mappings.

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.

in this area.
Added commandline argument 'thumb.trapfatal', which causes fatal errors in
the Thumb ARM emulation to really be treated as fatal (ie, the emulation stops
and throws an exception). This is enabled by default (as it always should be).
When disabled, fatal errors simply log the error and continue with emulation.
This was added because the current HarmonyCart ARM code isn't always exactly
compatible with the emulation in Stella, and there is a lagtime from when
Harmony implements something to when the same functionality is added to Stella.

Specifically, the 3-voice audio routines read from ROM instead of RAM, and
the setting the ARM MAM register no longer causes the ARM emulation to crash.

distinct GUI vs non-GUI (aka TIA) classes. This makes it easy to proceed
from this point on, since I don't have to worry about breaking one mode
when making changes to the other.
Preliminary support for TIA scanlines in OpenGL mode. It's disabled for
now, but is progressing nicely. This will be part of the new TV effects
in the next major release.

In the process of converting the code to be OpenGL ES compliant, we shouldn't
hurt the performance on systems with more advanced versions.

compliant. It actually went smoother than I thought it would.
This show allow Stella to run well on *any* hardware-accelerated
OpenGL machine, not just those with beefy video cards.
Cleaned up the code a little, removing more references to the old
OpenGL TV filtering (which will be replaced by Blargg NTSC
filtering soon enough). Also removed 'gl_texrect' option, which
specified to use the GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB extension (for
non power-of-two textures). It was never enabled by default,
didn't work with ATI cards, and wasn't accessible in the UI,
so I doubt anyone will miss it. Besides, it's not supported in
OpenGL ES 1.x.
Next is to look into VBO/PBO, to see if more optimizations can
be done.

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.

BSPF_snprintf instead, which should eliminate any potential
buffer overflows. Also moved from static arrays to stringstreams
where appropriate to make things safer and more C++ like.
