ML TNG Release Notes

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

August 5th, 2007

Beta U22 Released

 

- Compiled much of the internal data from within ML's source and created an external file called "RESOURCE.ML". Editing this could cause ML to malfuction or not even work. This is now included in the ML download and must reside in the same folder as ML.EXE

 

- Corrected an issue which appeared with 0.117u3, where due to an output simplication, -listsource no longer was printing the source path. This played havoc with my parsing routine and sources were no longer being properly detected.

 

- Improved PNG viewing display alignment with BDF fonts - it's still not perfect but is much improved.

 

- Added some simple selections for font and border color in program. You can trigger selection of these with F9 (Border) and F10 (Font). The border color will change with the selection so you can see what the color is then ENTER will confirm and make the change. If the desired color or code is not in the list that is provided, feel free to use the command-line trigger as before. With this move, the Backup/Create MAME.INI function is now triggered with F8.

 

- Fixed instance when loading .BDF files and none are found, now will display a message.

 

- New commands introduced in the 0.117u cycle are now properly installed to work with MAME 0.118.
