98/05/18  Version 0.94 released
===============================

98/05/18  Updated the man page (a more complete man-page is still needed!)
98/05/15  Some bugs fixed

98/05/14 Version 0.93.4 released
--------------------------------

98/05/14  Small additions:
      - Keyboard matrix is emulated (only 1 level, I hope this is enough) 
          - "color refreshing" (maybe some other aplications could do it!)
          - Keyboard configuration is now fully implemented
    
98/05/11  Added DOS timer support with Allegro library

98/05/08  Version 0.93.3 released
---------------------------------
    
98/05/08  Created README.Z80 to describe how to use Z80 emulation    
98/05/06  Small new features + bugfixes
      - Function keys for commonly used functions
      - Keyboard config: (extended, spectrum, compat) and (shifted, raw) 
        are now working. No custom keyboard or joystick yet
      - Small modifications to make z80 emulation separate

98/04/30  Version 0.93.2 released
---------------------------------

98/04/30  I've removed the BROKEN_VGAKEYBOARD part from vgakey.c. 
      I hope nobody's using SVGALIB version smaller than 1.2.11.

98/04/29  Some small new features: (see example.cfg for a complete list)
      - different icon when the emulator is paused
      - optional private colormap
      - configurable colours (grayscale looks better on
        monochrome displays)
      - filetype can be given on the command line (tapefiles too)
      - optional immediate loading of tapes (-load-immed)
    
98/04/27  Added configurability to spectemu:
      - global config file (($prefix)/share/spectemu/spectemu.cfg)
      - user's config file (~/.spectemurc)
      - X resource database
      - command line
    
98/04/23  Mode 320x240 is used in vgaspect (if available)

98/04/22  Version 0.93.1 released
---------------------------------
    
98/04/21  Handle "extra" ascii keys: []{}|\~
98/04/19  Added Spectrum keyboard picture, which shows pressed keys, and
      keys can be pressed with mouse.
98/04/16  Rewrite keyboard handling:
      - Fixes keyboard bug in X (key remained pressed)
      - Better configurability: spectrum key definitions are in spkey.c
        instead of xkey.c and vgakey.c

98/04/07  Added readline support by Christian Sievers <sievers@cip.rz.tu-bs.de>

98/03/24  Version 0.92 released
===============================
    
98/03/23  Last minute bugfixes
    
98/03/20  Version 0.92p3 released
98/03/20  Eliminated all sorts of minor bugs
98/03/19  Implement LOOP/CALL/RETURN blocks in TZX handling
98/03/17  Fixed (hopefully all) bugs in TZX handling:
       - There must be a 1ms pause at end of tape.
      - Pausing after data blocks fixed.
      - Made tape I/O timing ultra precise (e.g. see Flashpoint)
    
98/03/14  Fixed small bug in quick load
98/03/13  Sound of tape is now fixed (not perfect, but good enough)
          Created simple man page
    
98/03/11  Version 0.92pre2 released
98/03/10  Fixed quick load of tapefiles
98/03/10  Fixed resize bugs

98/03/09  Version 0.92pre1 released
98/03/08  C-version now handles bits 3 and 5 of the Flag register
      (I hope I didn't break anything with this).
98/03/08  Wrote 'tapeout' utility to save tapefiles to real tape (via 
      soundcard).

98/03/06  Implemented emulator pause.
98/03/06  Added ability to display spectrum keyboard layout on text 
      console (Radovan.Garabik@fmph.uniba.sk).

98/03/05  Rewrite of snapshot handeling:
          - All versions of Z80 snapshots can now be loaded.
      - Loading and saving of SNA snapshot format is supported. 
      - Quick loading and saving of temporary snapshot.
    
98/03/03  Rewrite of tapefile handeling:
      - Support for most TZX blocks (recognise length of all v1.11
        blocks)
      - SPT tapefiles are no longer supported 
          - Added quick loading of tapefiles
      - Timing in tape emulation is very exact now, but this makes 
        tape sound ugly (this will be fixed).
