Our 'Christmas' release was a little delayed; real life got in the way. Anyway, better late than never. Changes as follows:

  • Added high scores saving.

  • Improved text editing functionality (except PromptWidget):

    • Enhanced selection and cut/copy/paste from keyboard.
    • Added undo and redo support.
    • Added mouse support (selection, cut/copy/paste).
    • All actions have keyboard shortcuts.
  • Various improvements to the ROM launcher:

    • Added wildcard support to the dialog filter
    • Added option to search subdirectories
  • Added static tooltips to some UI items.

  • Added dynamic tooltips to most debugger items.

  • Added sound to Time Machine playback.

  • Added browser dialogs for user saved files.

  • Extended global hotkeys for input devices & ports settings.

  • Moved to using an SQLite database for storing user settings, properties and highscores. More work will follow in future releases.

  • Increased sample size for CDFJ+.

  • Fixed autofire bug for trackball controllers.

  • Fixed bug in TV autodetection in filenames; a filename containing 'PAL' inside a word would sometimes misdetect as a PAL ROM.

  • Fixed Stelladaptor/2600'daptor devices sometimes not being assigned correct default mappings.

  • Codebase now uses C++17 features, which means a minimum of gcc7 or clang5 for Linux/Mac, and Visual Studio 2019 for Windows.
