On my part AFAIK no, unless you come up with some other issues with
the new debugger stuff. :-)

The smarter screen resolution selection I've been thinking about and Kåre's
screen conversion routines + overlay code simplification are better done
after the release I think, at least if the release comes within couple of
weeks.


JB, you started checking blitter stuff, was there something that should or
could be fixed for the release?

Regarding documentation which I've been going through lately...

The manual and compatibility list should be pretty well up to date, except
for those few ST / STe programs that are marked as not fully working for
Hatari version (before) 1.0:
- F15 Strike Eagle 2: "Keyboard emulation seems to be dodgy"
- Slayer: "Raster fx at highscore entry dodgy"
- Neochrome: "Rasters sometimes unstable"
- Protracker STE: "50KHz replay duff"
Could somebody check them?

(As the Falcon stuff is now mostly working, I'll change their "Working"
column to "Hatari version" and its "-"/"partially"/"yes" entries for
to "v1.3" + suitable colors, like is done for the other compatibility
tables.)


Nicolas, could you put something about the video.c rewrite to the release
notes too?

Thomas, I think the DSP section in the todo.txt needs an update too.

The screenshots page on www-page could be updated as discussed earlier...
