Hello

after quite some time, a new version is now available.

As usual, you can get the sources or some Windows binaries from 
http://hatari.berlios.de/ or 
https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10436

(I will add some OS X binaries too if someone build them)

Here's a small changelog, there're too many changes to report, see the 
full release-notes.txt for more details :

- On STE, correctly shift display 8 pixels to the left when using 224 
bytes overscan (e.g. recent demos by DHS)
- Add support for spec512 mode in med res (fixes 'Best Part Of The 
Creation' in 'Punish Your Machine', 'HighRes Mode' demo by Paradox)
- Precisely emulate the number of frames per sec (eg 50.053 fps in PAL 
instead of the usual 50 Hz), required for correct video/audio sync under 
STE (e.g. More Or Less Zero by DHS)
- Sound improvements for STE, major rewrite of the DMA audio, precision 
should be really close to a real STE (e.g. HexTracker by Paulo Simoes)
- Improved precision in sound emulation, with nearly no rounding errors 
over successive VBL during many hours.
- By default mix 3 YM voices using a lookup table of values measured on 
real STF to improve digisound (e.g. Flashback demo by TCB)
- Alternative CPU core based on WinUAE for more accurate Falcon 
emulation, including 68030 timings, MMU, ...
- Improvements in DSP emulation.
- Various changes in the SDL GUI
- Many more functions in the built in debugger
- Atari program given as argument to Hatari will be automatically
   started after TOS boots
- Many more small fixes related to video, audio, ikbd, ...


Thanks to everyone for submitting code, ideas, reporting problems, 
providing help to test on real hardware !

Don't hesitate to try this new version and to report your results.

Have a happy summer with Hatari 1.5 :)


Nicolas
