Skeleton drivers:
-----------------
- Olympia People PC [Robert aka rfka01]

System Driver Changes:
----------------------
-c64: Implemented memory mapping via a 82S100 device that uses the fusemap of the real C64 PLA.
This enables full cartridge support, and more accurate emulation of the hardware in the future.
Retired the old driver, and separated Ultimax (vic10) and C64DTV to their own drivers. [Curt Coder]

-lynx: Added basic uart loopback emulation (loopz, malibu, bzone2k, awesomeg get past intro) [Huygens]
- Moved sign conversion code inside multiply function (fixes stunrun)
- cartslot changed to mandatory (real lynx will not power on without a game inserted)
- moved sign detection back outside multiply function.
- added sign flag updating on write to LSB of MATH_CD register.

-n64: DMA / RSP / RDP Optimization and Documentation [MooglyGuy]
- Start of mass variable renaming / documentation in the RDP core
- RSP Opt: Shunt around the core memory system for RSP instruction / data fetches
- DMA Opt: Shunt around the core memory system for SP and PI DMA transfers
- RDP Opt: Replace 2D switch statement with function table for texel fetching
- RDP Opt: Replace 3x array lookup for 16-to-32 pixel expansion with 64K LUT
- RDP Opt: Remove setters / getters in favor of direct member access

Software Lists:
----------------
-ibm5140.xml: added floppy disk softlist. [Kaylee]
-apple1.xml: added tape software list [Anonymous01, Fabio Priuli]
-famicom.xml: added a floppy disk softlist and updated the driver to use it. [Fabio Priuli]

Source Changes:
----------------
-Added Covox DAC and Covox Stereo-On-1 [Miodrag Milanovic]
-Added emulation of HD64610 RTC and hooked up to pda600 driver. [sandro Ronco]
-ISA card AHA1542 skeleton added [Darkstar]
-Added noise support to UPD1771 [plgDavid]
-Added ISA IBM PC Music Feature Card [Phil Bennett]
-ioport.c: Made the key/paste buffer auto-expand when it becomes full.
This makes it possible to paste larger BASIC programs for instance. [Wilbert Pol]

-------

Happy 15th Anniversary! Over its 15 years of existence since MAME

0.01 was released for MS-DOS with an initial library of 5 sets, MAME

has grown exponentially to the point that no one thought we would be,

boasting 18,650 different sets and operable on more OS platforms than

thought possible. While video-based arcade games were the original

targets for MAME, the scope of the project has grown to include

documentation of virtually all coin-operated amusement devices

including gambling (video/slots), coin droppers, pinball machines and

more. Through the efforts of the literally thousands of developers,

players and others who have provided assistance and feedback over the

project's history, we would like to thank all of them that made this

possible!

Source Changes

--------------

Fixed disassembly of far jump instructions in the u'nSP core [trap15]

Correct loading for dragngun video data, identified as standard DVI

data [David Haywood]

Slight fix to the way captaven rasters were handled [David Haywood]

Added proper widescreen layout on Super Chase [David Haywood]

Improved inputs in Tourvision driver [stephh]

Added sprites wrap-around in Donkey Kong HW, seen in DK3 when clearing

stage 1 [hap]

chd: Fix error where FLAC was encoding 4 times too much data (samples

vs. bytes) [David Haywood]

Converted Boogie Wings to generic sprite device plus added manual

mixing. Converted various bootleg implementations of the chip to use

the common code as well. (tumbleb.c, esd16.c, crospang.c, nmg5.c)

[David Haywood]

Implemented preliminary support for Trident SVGA cards, fixes graphics

in California Chase loading screen [Grull Osgo, Angelo Salese]

Hooked up inputs and sound in california chase, game is now more or

less working without steer inputs and still needs the user to launch

boot.exe first from MS-DOS prompt. [Grull Osgo, Angelo Salese]

Various wav/flac sample changes: [David Haywood]

* Remove hardcoded ".wav" sample extensions from within drivers

* Update samples.c to check for both .flac and .wav extensions when

loading a sample

* Made sample loading failure a bit more verbose (various zips

contained 0 byte samples, I assume to keep clrmame happy or

something)

* Fixed memory allocation with 8-bit flac samples

Act Fancer: fixed background tilemap size, corrects level boss bg

(partial fix for MT #4585) [David Haywood]

RDP optimizations and memory system shunting in N64 driver; relative

things.

* Added correct clocks for main crystal, CPU and CRTC through

#define.

* Improved inputs/jumpers with PCB traces.

* Added technical notes.
