QMC2 0.2.b5 released

[Robert]

Front End (Unix only)

 

v0.2.b5, 16-OCT-2008:

 

fix: corrected a serious bug in ROM state and gamelist caching introduced by trimming the data - please remove all cache files from previous releases before using this version, otherwise QMC2 is likely to crash (rm ~/.qmc2/mame.lxc ~/.qmc2/qmc2.rsc ~/.qmc2/qmc2.glc)

fix: corrected the shortcut scope of several actions

fix: ROMAlyzer (cosmetic): don't start analyzing if the gamelist is empty

fix: tool bar and status bar didn't show up on first start

imp: SDLMAME options template updated to 0.128

imp: build: added new make option PHONON (enables Phonon based features if set to 1, which is the default for Qt 4.4+)

imp: revised a number of menu item texts

imp: layout improvements for the ROMAlyzer (file I/O indicator now vertical)

imp: code cleanup: prepend QMC2_ to SDLMAME macro internally

imp: build: added new make options CCACHE & CCACHECMD (uses ccache compiler cache if CCACHE is set to 1; default is 0 - check/set CCACHECMD if enabled!)

imp: exchanged Qt logo due to Qt rebranding as of 4.4.3

new: support for MAME output notifications via a named pipe (SDLMAME 0.127+)

new: emulator control panel changed to a multi-column tree widget displaying more information like the game name, its LEDs (if applicable), the current emulator status and additional notifiers/values not handled statically (in a sub tree)

new: added a copy command menu item to the emulator control panel's context menu to allow for easier copying of emulator command lines to the system clipboard

new: individual joystick axes can now be enabled/disabled at will (this should make Sixaxis users happy

new: the number of lines kept in the ROMAlyzer log can now also be limited

new: optional support for background music playback (requires Qt 4.4+ / Phonon API - feature will be completely disabled for Qt 4.3)

new: the boolean emulator option values true and false are now also translatable

doc: added Q2.9 to FAQ
