Major 1.5.x bug fixes:
- Huge memory leak when switching between RTG and native modes.
- Writing to disk images didn't work in some games.
- Configuration cache missing files in subdirectories.
- Random freeze when switching to fullscreen modes that are smaller than desktop resolution.
- Second and third mouse/firebutton handling fix (Aladdin, BC.Kid and more)
Other bugs fixed:
- "Always on top", "No taskbar button" and fullscreen color depth change works on the fly.
- OpenGL fullscreen fixed.
- Parallel/Serial/MIDI select menus and Input-panel bottom options didn't work correctly.
- System clock run slightly too fast or slow if chipset refresh rate was different than startup refresh rate (really old bug).
- OCS NTSC configuration defaulted to PAL refresh rate.
- Real PCMCIA SRAM card re-insert detection fixed.
- Fullscreen RTG 16-bit to 32-bit desktop windowed mode switch (CTRL+F12) color errors fixed.
New features:
- Basic file association settings added to GUI (.uae, .adf etc..)
- RTG vertical blank wait uses interrupts, no more busy waiting. Should improve performance in many fullscreen RTG games.
- Added RTG virtual refresh rate configuration to GUI.
- Added RTG refresh rate next to chipset refresh rate FPS counter.
- Undocumented OCS "scanline" feature emulated (Ode to Ramon I and II)
- Midline resolution change improvements (still far from perfect, Disposable Hero, Innovation Part 2)
- Only accept current latest OpenAL32.dll or newer (old versions can cause crashes during device enumeration)
- Improved emulation of reads from write-only custom registers (S.E.X. / Fantasys)
- Syncronize Clock stability improved.
Download it from www.winuae.net (http://www.winuae.net).
Just a note that Toni Wilen is still looking for hardware and documentation to improve the emulation of WinUAE (and therefore E-UAE). See this EAB thread (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=38691 ) for more information.

Yet again, the best app to ever run on a windows PC is tweaked and polished, making it even better!
:-)
Hats off to the WinUAE team!
Cheers,
Mike.

I really HOPE E-uae implements these features soon... It's lacking smooth graphics, too: Amiga software without VSYNC just SUCKS. A DirectFB backend for E-UAE would help A LOT.
It's NOT fair to have the best Amiga emulator running on the worst OS ever... (I don't have a windows-capable machine, anyway)

Without wishing to paint a huge 'flame-target' on my back, I'd have to say that XP Pro has been the best OS I've ever used - certainly the most stable. People seem to put the boot into anything that's M$. And don't forget - it runs WinUAE! :-)
I also run Ubuntu 7.10/8.04/8.10, which are nice, but on the same hardware I've always found XP mroe stable and faster, plus it has far more apps (well, the ones I need anyway!) available for it than anything else.
I've also tried OSX, but just can't get used to it.
Other than that I have to say that AmiKit 1.5 is the most impressive "OS" I use - if you haven't tried it and you have a Windows box, I strongly suggest on giving it a go. It certainly is the best thing this side of OS4.1/Morphos 2.0!
Cheers,
Mike.

:cry:
Why not spend more time coding and less time trolling?
-
adolescent: I code for living: believe me, I spend A LOT of time coding, it's just that I don't code emulators :D
I was just exposing what I thought: It's NOT trolling, man.
