-Profiler->create subfolder, profiler->move datfile which also moves/creates the belonging datfile/fastscan/scans files (both options are available via popup menu)

-Warningswindow message for obsolete CRC32 integrity checks

-(Readded by request) 'mark useless zipfolderstructs as unneeded' option

-Several new messages for corrupt/shared/skipped diskimages (instead of showing just a 'missing diskimage')

fixed:

-"hide / show bad dump" options

-Miss-list includes fake clones (natodefa) & counts the files correctly

misc:

-Profiler->delete can also remove folders

-Profiler->create can put an exe-based datfile in a selectable subfolder

-Recompress option moved back to rebuilder main window

-Revised cancel checks for "fix missing scans all sets"

-Revised scanner->drag&drop rules & destinationfolder initilization

-Scanresults are also kept when using ESC key

-Source cleanup (decreasing cachefilesize a bit as well)

-'delete incomplete sets' includes sets with bad crc32s, too

-Don't show "romfolder xyz matches setname" warning for 1-set-datfiles (like marquees, snaps, flyers, etc.)

The unofficial mame emulator, AdvanceMAME has been updated..Here's the following changes:

-Added the ALSA sound driver for Linux. It's now the preferred choice over OSS.

-Fixed another bug in the./configure script if the SDL library is missing.

-The sound latency is now automatically increased if the game requires a big frame skip.

-The auto frameskip is now optimized to minimize the idle waiting time instead of getting a 100% speed.

-Added the `display_artwork_backdrop/overlay/bezel' option to control any artwork types.

-Added the `misc_difficulty' option to select the game difficulty from the command line.

-The `misc_quiet' option now also disable the NO GOOD DUMP messages.

-The `misc_quiet' options, if activated, skips also the graphics information screens.

-If the doublescan modes are disabled, a mode with a double vertical size is automatically used instead.
