-----------------------------------

Catapult release to match openMSX 0.8.2. No changes in Catapult.

openMSX Catapult 0.7.2 (2009-06-30)
-----------------------------------

Catapult release to match openMSX 0.7.2. No changes in Catapult.

openMSX Catapult 0.7.1 (2009-06-28)
-----------------------------------

This release comes mostly with good news for Windows users: we have a brand new
installer with binaries which have been created in a brand new way, using
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008. This means smaller binaries and also support for
64-bit Windows operating systems.

Other Windows-specific changes include:
  - Catapult is now a stand-alone binary, statically linked with wxWidgets 2.8.9
    and libxml2 2.7.3.
  - Unicode is now fully supported (no more problems with localized versions of
    Windows e.g.). Note: this means Catapult requires Windows 2000 or higher as
    of this release.

openMSX Catapult 0.7.0-R1 (2009-01-07)
--------------------------------------

This is a release to go with openMSX 0.7.0. The only change is that a bug in
the build system was fixed, nothing else has changed. The plan is still to
release a completely new Catapult as soon as possible; unfortunately we didn't
make it in time for openMSX 0.7.0.

openMSX Catapult 0.6.3-R1 (2007-12-09)
--------------------------------------

This is a release to make openMSX Catapult compatible with openMSX 0.6.3.
Like previous version, no features were added, only some compatibility issues
were fixed: added new mapper types and translated channel modes to the new
balance settings. The plan is still to release a successor for Catapult as
soon as possible; unfortunately we didn't make it in time for openMSX 0.6.3.

openMSX Catapult 0.6.2-R1 (2007-04-15)
--------------------------------------

This is a release to make openMSX Catapult compatible with openMSX 0.6.2.
No features were added, only some minor bugs were fixed. The plan is to release
a successor for Catapult as soon as possible; unfortunately we didn't make it
in time for openMSX 0.6.2.

openMSX Catapult 0.6.1-R1 (2006-07-30)
--------------------------------------

This is a release to make openMSX Catapult compatible with openMSX 0.6.1.
No features were added, only some minor bugs were fixed. The plan is to work
on a successor of Catapult as soon as possible.

openMSX Catapult 0.6.0-R2 (2006-01-29)
--------------------------------------

This is a bugfix release for Windows users.

One problem was fixed in Catapult itself: no machine was selected at the very
first startup (after scanning the available machines).

A new Windows binary release is built with a differently configured wxWidgets:
the FontMap stuff of wxWidgets gives registry problems for some Windows users,
so we disabled it.

openMSX Catapult 0.6.0-R1 (2006-01-21)
--------------------------------------

User interface:

Added: support for 2 keyjoysticks
Added: dialog to check which openMSX hardware configurations are working.
Added: menu option to display or hide broken hardware configurations.
Added: option to disable config check after setup.
Added: record button for cassette recorder, for new openMSX functionality.
Added: scaler factor selector, for new openMSX functionality.
Fixed: several details.

Compilation:

Added: Support for wxWidgets 2.6.x, which is now preferred as well.

openMSX Catapult 0.5.2-R2 (2005-06-26)
--------------------------------------

This second release of openMSX Catapult 0.5.2 is only a bug fix release.
We found that on platforms that use wxGTK, the extensions didn't work anymore.
This is due to some bug in wxGTK, but we implemented a work around for it in
this release, which should make Catapult usable again. Also, we made some
errors in the new CPU build files, which are corrected in this release.
Note: none of these changes affect Win32 users, so we will not release a new
Win32 binary.

openMSX Catapult 0.5.2-R1 (2005-06-18)
--------------------------------------

Fixed: The rensha Turbo slider wasn't updated when updated in openMSX.
Fixed: Choosing a printer log file works now as it should.

Changed: History is now limited to 25 items

Added: Mingw compilation support. (Although it works fine it produces a larger
       executable and it needs the mingw runtime dll).
