The latest version of WinUAE has been released.
Visit the WinUAE homepage (http://www.winuae.net/) for downloads.
WinUAE 0.8.27 (06.06.2004)
==========================
Bugs in 0.8.26 fixed:
- JIT-only crash when loading state file or loading new
config on the fly
- crash when loading config and directory or no config
file was selected
- ports-page uninitialized joystick/mouse radio buttons
- ignore files not having .uae-extension when scanning
configuration file directory
- GUI works now with non-96DPI fonts
- possible crash when starting emulator or inserting/ejecting
disks
- JIT compatibility problems with some games (for example
Alien Breed 3D II)
- debugger am-command
- "Priority=2!"-debug dialog
- disk image path/name text input
Older bugs fixed:
- centering improved
- hardfile error "tried to seek out of bounds"-message when
hardfile was too small or blocksize was set to zero
- fullscreen D3D/OpenGL-mode ALT-TAB
- fixed forever repeating "...because desktop is too small for
the specified window size.."
- saving config: always add (if missing) ".uae"-extension to
config file name
- "exter_int_helper: unknown native action xxx"
New features:
- new rtg.library, 20-30 times faster Picasso96 pixel read
- don't add contents of zip file to disk history if zip only
contains one supported disk image file
- compatibility fix for buggy programs that access non-existing
memory in CIA address space
- MIDI can be selected without serial port
- full collision level implemented correctly (game "Rotor")
- AVIOutput tweaks
- improved compatibility (Back in Bizness, Total Triple Trouble)
-
- crash when loading config and directory or no config file was selected
Really annoying! :-x

I've already posted in the forum thread for this release of WinUAE, and basically said "Wow" many, many times, that this release with its new rtg.library has made WinUAE a joy to use on my P3 450, and that now I can use Octamed Soundstudio to begin composing again.
Turns out I had WinUAE stuck on "Above Normal" priority, which slows the emulation down on my machine... so my question now is: can we slow WinUAE down a bit? :-P
I don't think it can be said enough what a great job the WinUAE team have done with this emulator, I wish more emulators (for other platforms) were even a patch on this.
Now, back to some ditty writing...

I know, I even contributed to that thread myself!
But I submitted it as news because... well... it's news!
Just doing my bit for A.org! :-)
