WinFellow v0.5.9 RC1 04/09/19

This is a release candidate build of WinFellow. Compared to the earlier version 0.5.8, the following changes are included in this build:

System requirement changes

• support for Windows XP and Vista has been removed; version 0.5.8 will be the last WinFellow release to support Windows XP or Windows Vista. This enables us to take advantage of enhancements in the toolset used during development and testing.

New features

• implemented a new menu option to allow configuration of the emulation pause behavior when the window focus is lost/emulation is running in the background
• the floppy read-only state can now be adjusted on the fly, without having to restart the emulator

Bug Fixes

• when using alt-tab to switch to different windows, the tab keypress is no longer passed on to the emulation session
• mouse events via RetroPlatform are being received again
• fixed minor heap corruption in RetroPlatform initialization code
• fix a repeated error message during loading of presets when encrypted ROMs are searched and no keyfile is present

Maintenance updates

• zlib was updated to version 1.2.11
• xDMS was updated to version 1.3.2
• Visual Studio 2022 and the Windows 11 SDK are used
• RetroPlatform include has been updated

This is a public release candidate build of WinFellow v0.5.8. Compared to the earlier version 0.5.7, the following changes are included in this build:

New features

• support for RDB hardfiles was implemented; while creating a new hardfile from the WinFellow GUI still creates "plain" hardfiles, a Rigid Disk Block can be created using tools like HD Toolbox
  – the default naming scheme for filesystem devices has been changed from DHx: to FSx: to avoid naming conflicts with existing RDB hardfiles
• a 64 bit build is now provided; the NSIS installer will install either the 32 or 64 bit version depending on the operating system that is used

Bug fixes

• improved handling of hardware interrupts and blitter delays; fixes freezes that could occur during installation of Workbench in earlier 0.5.x versions
• fix wrong selection of render function after return from menu when application did not write to bplcon0 every frame; fixes garbled graphics in a Legend cracktro when returning from menu
• replaced alternating patterns for unmapped memory with proper random numbers
• CLR reads before write; fixes loading of Outrun and a fast-mem test in Last Ninja 2
• improve delay caused by logging in screen-mode enumeration (could amount to many seconds with multiple screens)
• running in an environment with very slow graphics framerate, like a VM, could cause a deadlock; set wait time after event reset to avoid race condition
• fix an issue where screenshots would occasionally not be taken in Direct3D graphics mode; this may also have impacted the ability to use Amiga Forever's clipping editor
• fix an issue where applying a new model preset would leave multiple blitter radio buttons selected

Maintenance updates

• project files were updated to Visual Studio 2019 using the toolset v141_xp
• the February 2010 DirectX SDK dependency was eliminated
• IPF Access API files were updated to the latest version, and support for it was enabled in 64 bit builds
