QMC 0.2.b3 released


Front End (Unix only)
07-JUL-2008 - QMC2 0.2.b3 releasedThe third release of the 0.2 series of QMC2 is out now. It's lined up with SDLMAME 0.126 which has also been released recently.
We have a lot of changes this time, many bug-fixes and improvements, and quite a few new and important features. Here's a summary of the major changes:
- Direct GUI control via digital and analog joysticks through SDL
- Optional use of OpenGL to draw images (previews & flyers) - actually, this was mainly an experiment and is not necessarily faster than the default drawing mechanism
- Support for MAME's history.dat & mameinfo.dat information databases (this will be changed to a more generic approach in the future to support additional information sources)
- Fullscreen toggle for the main widget
- Style handling improved to allow for on-the-fly switching to the system's default GUI style
- Improved window flags to better handle individual windows
- Architecture-independant OS detection for distribution specific build rules
- Several widget restoration bugs were discovered and fixed, together with a number of other/older bugs...

- [ABC80] Fixed graphics mode and lower case natural input. [Curt Coder]
- [ABC80X] Fixed lower case natural input. [Curt Coder]
- [AMIGA] Fixed Keyboard. (bug #1590) [Roberto Zandona']
- [AMIGACD / AMIGAFDC] Fixed a couple of regressions introduced in 0.125. Still CDTV regression is not fixed. [Fabio Priuli]

- [COMMODORE] Large clean-up of input ports across Commodore machines (Amiga excluded) [Fabio Priuli]:
* created machine/cbmipt.c to reduce duplicate code across drivers and hidden dependencies;
* converted to tagged inputs;
* added partial natural keyboard support (keys are almost all there, but there are still a few issues);
* replaced a lot of constants with direct reads to tagged inputs, cleaning up most of the Commodore files in includes/ ;
* simplified interrupt handling for c64 and c16;
* fixed pet.c machines which were starting Caps Lock'ed;
* propagated ':/;' fixes (from rev. 2542) to all the drivers with the same error;
* removed some dead code for cart handling (never fully implemented and obsolete after rev. 2421);
* removed hacked SID from c16;
* fixed key mappings to follow the real keyboard (also added plus4 input ports for this same reason);
* documented keyboard layouts.
