- uaescsi.device SCSI emulation, including full CD audio support.
- Pause uaescsi.device CD audio when emulation is paused or GUI is open.
- Support for configuration file delayed CD image insert, for example CD32 games
  F17 Challenge and Last Ninja crash if booted before CD32 boot screen appears...

- CD32/CDTV more accurate CD audio and animation streaming.
- Rawinput keyboard handling improved.
- Cycle exact audio and disk DMA sequencer, Paula DMA request line timing fully emulated,
  (previously DMA accesses were "immediate", all other timing was already exact)
- Direct3D bezel overlays and "old" overlays separated, bezel overlays
  are in overlays-directory, old overlays should be renamed as masks.
- Direct3D bezel automatic display area detection and aspect ratio correction.
- Disk images inside archives are automatically "extracted" to Disk Swapper
  and floppy drive paths when dragged and dropped.
- 68000 and 68020 cycle exact CPU timing updates.

I wonder if it works any better under WINE than the last version? :)
What i know is that Tony disabled the MMU table caching. Which should make winuae work under netbsd & Debian 68k Sarge (and mmu a lot slower). Dunno if it's working with wine though. If not, report back to Tony.

Slightly confusing there... you mean it is now possible to run NetBSD/m68k and Linux/m68k on WinUAE, right? Who would want to run Debian Sarge anyways? :)
Well , the news item says: "[/SIZE]- 68040 MMU emulation compatibility improved, Linux and NetBSD confirmed working." So yes, netbsd & linux should work on winuae.

@Karlos
The solution for your problem could have been this: http://eabmobile.abime.net/showthread.php?p=661430#post661430
But with this update, the keyboard handling is improved, so your have to try it out for yourself and see if it works.
