A UI library update means your window layout will become lost and you'll have to recreate it. Sorry! I hope this won't happen again.

  • Add first pass emulation support for the upcoming Retro Hardware Advanced Digital Joystick Interface cartridge
  • Add keyboard debug panel
  • Add paging tick box to see MOS VDU driver view of memory
  • Add support for Master Compact/Olivetti PC 128 S
  • Fix double height teletext hold graphics state reset
  • Fix crash if attempting to OSRDCH paste an empty string
  • Fix crash that could occur when single stepping
  • Fix various minor UI issues
  • Improve direct disk image speed, especially for writes
  • Improve debugger performance: lower CPU usage when using lots of debugger displays, lower CPU usage in general when no breakpoints are set and not single stepping
  • Improve handling of non-ASCII chars in paths on Windows
  • Improve Tube emulation accuracy
  • Save current setting of Prioritize Command Keys
  • Save separate CMOS RAM/EEPROM contents for each configuration
  • Tweak disk image options a bit: direct disk images are now just disk images, and disk images are now known as in-memory disk images. So if you pick what sounds like the default option, you won't lose changes when exiting
