an outputstream. For now, the output simply goes to stdout or stderr,
just like before, but the possibility is now there to redirect to a
file if desired.
Changed 'showinfo' commandline option to accept 'levels' of output
instead of simply being a boolean. The new default is level 1,
in which normal messages are output during a run. Level 2 will
show more detailed info, and may be useful in debugging end-user
problems. There's still more work to do wrt level 2.

1) the interval between snapshots can be configured within the
'File Settings' dialog
2) the commandline option is now named 'ssinterval' instead of 'ssdelay'
3) the action is tied to the 'Alt/Cmd-s' key instead of a function key
There's just one more small issue to take care of in the Windows port,
and the next release should be ready.

key. This enables automatically taking snapshots every X seconds
while in emulation mode. The interval (in seconds) can be set
with the 'ssdelay' commandline argument.
Some minor cleanups to the EventHandler methods, making them
const when possible.
Added latest DPC+ changes from Spiceware.
Fixed issue with ROMs that run entirely from ZP RAM; no disassembly
was being generated when entering the debugger. For now, this
special case is detected, and the disassembly is generated for
the code that ran before the PC entered ZP RAM space. Eventually,
this will go away when the Distella fully supports disassembling
below 0x1000.

'Stephen Anthony' (aka, me) in addition to Brad Mott as copyright
holders for Stella. I think I've been with the project long
enough now (almost 10 years) to justify being specifically mentioned
above and beyond 'the Stella Team'.

to 'resolvedata', since that more accurately describes what it does.
Also, it now accepts arguments as strings (never, always, auto)
instead of 0, 1, 2.
Updated main documentation for changes in OSX port 'basedir'.
Updated debugger documentation for recent command additions, and
provided new snapshots where the UI has changed.
It seems to be getting close to a new release - perhaps this
coming Friday.

post-3.0), and reworked how state files are accessed. The cart type
now determines if a state file is valid, meaning developers can use
one state file across multiple builds of their program.
Added 'runtopc' debugger command, and associated UI item in the
RomWidget area. This steps the code until the PC matches the given
value.
Added '16in1' bankswitch scheme, which is useful for ROMs named
'128-in-1' in RomHunter database. Also, all multicart schemes now
show the current ROM onscreen while switching between them.
Fixed bug in Serializer class when accessing files in read-only mode.
Such files would be created and set to zero size, even if only
reading was requested.

release. This won't have everything I'd have liked to include,
but the release time has dragged on enough (the last release
was in Sept 2009!).
Some general code cleanups for the OSX port, as well as fixes
to the menus. The menus contained items that in some cases
weren't actually tied to any event, or showed the wrong
shortcut key. Also removed some of the more esoteric menu
items, sticking with only the most basic ones (fullscreen vs.
window mode, volume control, etc).

disassembler. Hopefully this will lead to a new release very soon.
Added 'autocode' commandline argument and associated UI item (in the
RomWidget debugger area), which controls how Distella will use the
'automatic code determination' option. If set to 0/never, this is
completely disabled. If set to 1/always, it is always enabled.
The default is 2/automatic, whereby it is first turned on, and then
turned off if the disassembly doesn't contain the current PC address.
RomListWidget has now been completely reworked, so that it informs
RomWidget of its intent to change breakpoints and patch ROM. If
either of these fail, the action won't be performed, and more
importantly, it won't appear onscreen as if the action has succeeded.
This fixes an old bug whereby patching could fail, yet the onscreen
ROM data was actually changed. Related to this, the list has been
made as efficient as possible, and its contents are never un-necessarily
copied. Also, lines in the disassembly that cannot be modified no
longer show an edit area.
Due to the way the new disassembly works, you can no longer switch between
banks in the RomWidget (Distella would probably fail to disassemble in
such as case).
EditTextWidget can now indicate its contents have changed when adding
text to it.

handling to C++ stringstreams instead of C-style character arrays,
which fixed some segfaults (sprintf is evil).
First pass at tying the number of banks to the disassembly. The idea
is that the startup bank (which is now identified by the cart) always
starts at address at 0xfffc, while the other banks are defined by the
PC at the first time we enter the debugger. This is still a WIP,
since there's no actual checking done yet to see if the current PC
is in the current disassembly.
Added 'ctrlcombo' commandline argument, which completely disables
checking for Control-x key combos. This is useful when playing
2-player games where the 'f', 'r' and 'Control' keys are supposed
to be treated separately. Previously, pressing Control and 'r' or
'f' processed some other action (change framerate, reload rom, etc).

is now enforced in more areas of the code, specifically, in BrowserDialog,
VideoDialog and InputDialog.
Rearranged some options in InputDialog (for spacing), and removed the
'mouse is paddle ...' option. It was never being saved to the config
file anyway, and is still selectable with Ctrl-0,1,2,3 keys.
Added 'maxres' commandline argument, which overrides the built-in
determination of desktop size normally done by SDL. This is not
documented, and is not meant to be used by anyone other than those
testing Stella on 'small' systems. It's basically a way to set the
desktop size without recompiling Stella each time.
Still TODO is look at all other dialogs, making sure they fit in the
minimum size. PopupDialog in particular needs to be fixed.

is related to the currently running ROM. If enabled (the default and current
behaviour), state files that do not match the currently loaded ROM will not
be loaded. Otherwise, the state file will attempt to load. Note that in the
latter case, this will probably cause 'bad things' to happen. It's mostly
for developers who are constantly recompiling a ROM, and wish to use a
previously created state file even when the ROM MD5 changes.

controlled by 'tiafloat', which has now been removed. Now, all
undriven pins take on the last value on the databus. This fixes a bug
in those reads where bit 6 or bits 6 & 7 are also undriven (previously,
these bits would always be zero, and only bits 0-5 were from lastdatabus.
Added new commandline argument 'tiadriven', which defaults to false.
In this default case, relevant bits take on values from the databus.
If true, relevant bits still take on databus values, but some are
randomly driven high as well. This helps to expose bugs when
developers assume the values for undriven/floating bits.
Added 'uimessages' commandline argument and associated UI item. When
disabled, messages which are normally shown in-game are disabled.
Certain messages which indicate a serious error are still shown, however.

of a boolean. It now accepts value '-1' to mean 'completely disable
fullscreen mode switching'. This was added because some systems with
buggy video drivers can't handle fullscreen mode, and accidentally
trying to do so can lock up such a system.
Fixed fullscreen/windowed switching wrt grabbing the mouse. Sometimes
switching from fullscreen to windowed mode had the cursor trapped in
the window, even if grabmouse was disabled.

InputDialog/Virtual Devs to allow all 4 directions to be pressed
simultaneously on a virtual joystick. This support was always present
for 'Bumper Bash', but it can now be enabled/disabled for any ROM.
Note that the setting is ignored for 'Bumper Bash', as that ROM
requires it to be always turned on.
Fixed debugger rewind issue from last commit; the rewind list wasn't
being properly reset when entering the debugger or selecting a new ROM.

more sense, as it isn't a double-negative any more).
Made PropSet::getMD5() more explicitly return a boolean indicating if the
properties were found, vs. having a CartName of 'Untitled' indicating that
it wasn't found.
The file being used by Stella in multi-file ZIP archive is now shown in
the window title, vs. showing the name of the ZIP file itself. Related
to this, a file with an extension of 'rom' is now valid inside ZIP
archives.
Updated documentation for bankswitch types, more clearly indicating which
ones support autodetection and the debugger.

start with game 0 (as if it's been unplugged for some time), but reloading
the ROM with Ctrl-r will cycle through each game (emulating a power-cycle).
Fixed crash when specifying a directory on the commandline; only files
are supported as ROMs.

Randomized value placed in accumulator after exiting the SC BIOS for
SuperCharger ROMs. This should fix issues in Dragonstomper, where it
seems the randomization of its items depending on a random accumulator
value.
Re-added '-fastscbios', and when enabled, it completely skips
the emulation of SC BIOS progress bars (previously, the bars were
simply sped up). This defaults to off, for more authentic emulation.
Related to this, added a UI item in VideoDialog to enable/disable it.
Thanks to Eckhard Stolberg for advice on the SCROM, and how to
modify it.

the ones that bankswitch in RAM, since I don't know what should happen there.
Added 'exitlauncher' commandline argument, which specifies the functionality
of the 'Exit to launcher' action; should exiting a game actually go back to
the launcher, or exit the program entirely. Also added a UI item in UIDialog
for this.
Reworked the fullscreen/windowed handling in FrameBuffer, simplifying the
logic for determining whether the SDL surface is actually in fullscreen
or not.

General updates to the documentation for people I forgot to include in
previous releases. Also added websites where applicable.
Update AboutDialog to be more current, showing only those members
currently active in the Stella project and the other teams that have
contributed code. For more specifics, you should now see the manual.
Basically consolidated all contribution info into one document, so it
has to be kept up-to-date in only one place.

Added CRT simulation as described by Ian Bogost in the AtariAge thread
'CRT simulation for Stella. This is just the first pass, but things
are working nicely so far (for those systems that can support it). It
requires at least OpenGL 2.0 with GLSL (GL Shading language). Added
the commandline arugments 'tv_tex', 'tv_bleed', 'tv_noise' and 'tv_phos'
used to set these various effects, as well as the ability to set them
within the Video Settings dialog. More documentation is forthcoming
on this.
All bankswitch modes that use SC RAM now act correctly when reading
from the write port (the RAM is erased).
Patching ROMs with bankswitch type 0840, SB, UA and X07 is now working.
Went through all the bankswitch classes and converted multiplication/
division to shift operations whenever possible. It's a
micro-optimization, but what the heck; every little bit of speed counts.
