---------------------
. [Bug #651] Cycle-accurate interrupts:
- Interrupts sources are checked after every opcode (full-speed after every 40 opcodes).
- 6522 TIMERs in free-running mode now account for the underflowed cycles when resetting the count.
1.28.5.0 - 6 Apr 2019
---------------------
. [Change #631] Improvements for the RGB AppleColor card:
- Relax the video-mode precondition to just ignore if VF_MIXED (previously required HIRES on) for Apple II Desktop.
- Changing from DHGR B&W mode to HGR remains in B&W (color burst is off).
- For '50% scan lines', don't blend in NTSC B&W mode, as this was inconsistent with the RGB colour rendering.

- This reverts the default behaviour introduced from 1.27.6 (#558).
- Use -altgr-sends-wmchar to allow AltGr+<key> to work correctly together.
- NB. The reason for the revert was that it was preventing international keyboards from typing certain characters.
. [Change #616] Vertical blending now uses 560-pixel granularity for half-dot shift support (consistent with all other video modes).
1.28.2.0 - 24 Feb 2019
----------------------

- This is equivalent to emulating RGB video, ie. a video mode with sharp text and pixels.
- NB. Unlike AppleWin 1.25, this is now cycle-accurate, so demos that synchronise with the video scanner will work correctly.
. [Change #603] Removed support for v1 save-state files.
- Any v1 save-state files should be loaded into AppleWin 1.27, and then re-saved to a v2 save-state file.
. [Change #597] Removed the functionality for CTRL+F10 to reveal the mouse cursor.
. [Change #585] Added a 'Swap' HDD button to the Configuration->Disk property sheet.

- F10 (for //e or Enhanced //e models) emulates the PAL //e's rocker switch (under the keyboard).
- Use to toggle between European or US video ROM.
. [Change #583] Added new switch: '-no-hook-alt':
- Used to prevent left/right ALT from emulating Open/Solid Apple keys.
- For European keyboards where AltGr is needed to type keys like '[',']'.
1.27.10.0 - 4 Nov 2018
----------------------
. [Change #590] Apple II original: default to 48K (so no LC installed in slot-0).

----------------------
Fixes:
. [Bug #276] -d1 command line argument caused AppleWin to crash.
1.25.0.3 - 8 Sep 2014
---------------------
Note: This is the last planned version to support Win98/ME.
. The next release of AppleWin will be built with VS2008 Express, so will only work under Windows 2000 and later.
Changes:
. Changed the AppleWin project host from BerliOS to GitHub.
. [Feature #221] Restored F6 original behavior that was changed in v1.22.0.
F6 Toggle full-screen / windowed mode.
Ctrl-F6 Toggle windowed 1x/2x zoom.
. Ctrl-PrintScreen will copy the text screen (auto detect 40/80 columns) to the clipboard.
. [Feature #198] Alt-Enter toggles full screen.
. [Feature #199] Added a configuration option "Confirm reboot" to skip the F2 reboot confirmation.
. [Feature #201] Added display of current Track/Sector for the floppy drives.
- In 2x window mode the status is displayed below the drive LEDs.
- In full screen mode the status is displayed above the drive LEDS. The track/sector
is shown only for the last drive accessed.
Note: DOS3.3 Track/Sector status should be accurate.
ProDOS support is preliminary -- the track/sector may show zero after an operation.
. Memory initialization defaults to a pattern of FF FF 00 00 (memclear 2).
. Added command line switch to specify the type of memory initialization pattern.
-memclear #
Where # ranges from 0 to 7.
i.e.
-memclear 0 Initialize memory to zero
-memclear 1 Initialize memory to random values
-memclear 2 Initialize memory to 4 byte pattern: FF FF 00 00 (default, same as v1.24.0)
-memclear 3 Initialize memory to even pages FF, odd pages 00
-memclear 4 Initialize memory to first half page 00, last half page FF
-memclear 5 Initialize memory to first half page FF, last half page 00
-memclear 6 Initialize memory to byte offset of that page
(current memory address low byte)
i.e. 00:00 01 02 03 ... for page $20
-memclear 7 Initialize memory to page address
(current memory address high byte)
i.e. 00:20 20 20 20 ... for page $20
NOTE: -memclear 6 can cause a few programs to NOT function correctly
due to hidden bugs of programmers not correctly initializing memory or
using uninitialized memory. RNDL/RHND and $620B are initialized to
allow Pooyan, and the Beautiful Boot game launcher to run, along with
$BFFD..BFFF to allow Copy ][ v5 to boot correctly.
. Debugger (v2.8.0.0):
- Added: TSAVE "filename" to save the text screen to a file.
It will auto-detect the current video mode: 40/80 columns.
Default filename for 40 columns is: AppleWin_Text40.txt
Default filename for 80 columns is: AppleWin_Text80.txt
- Changed: DS to ASC because DS is used as a common "Define Space" assembler directive
- Added: Experimental "ASC" command to mark up data as Apple text.
using Castle Wolfenstien.DSK
BLOAD ^VOCAB
ASC name1 17DA:17F5
- Fixed: DB address now auto-defines the symbol D_#### if no symbol is given.
- Fixed: DW address now auto-defines the symbol W_#### if no symbol is given.
- Fixed: ASB address now auto-defines the symbol T_#### if no symbol is given.
- Added: Help for DB and DW.

- default saves to 560x384 resolution.
- Shift+PrintScreen will save a 280x192 .bmp
Note: In case you are wondering about the non-standard resolution 560x384
o Width is 560 in order to save double hi-res graphics, and
o Height is 384 because we double the vertical scan lines to
preserve the original aspect ratio using a 560 width.
- To enable the dialog box display of the last file saved to,
use the command line option: -printscreen

1.14.1.2 PR - 20 Apr 2008
----------------------------
. Support for Pravets 82. Caps Lock serves as Lat/Cyr lock. The charset still needs a little fix (all characters have to be one row down).
. Some partial support for Pravets 8A. Caps Lock serves as Lat/Cyr lock, and F10 serves as Caps Lock.
In Pravets 8A mode the former behaviour of the F10 key is preserved as Ctrl+F10 (see Help/Keyboard for details).
Extended Basic and Miniassembler work, but there are still problems with the 8 bit charset (Ïàðèñ [Parris] does not switch to latin characters).
Some keys have to be remapped, because currently they are not available (i.e. Ý). There is still the problem that there is not enough space for this key on the keyboard.

Tested with Karateka, Mindshadow.
"As you probably know, many of the higher sophisticated Apple ][+
games made use of the blurr-effekt that color TV-monitors had on
patterns consisting of horizontal color stripes. Using this effect it
was possible to produce *solid* mix colors like grey, purple, pink,
yellow and aquamarine even in the 2+ *hi-res mode*."

He "adjusted the hires colors for a more realistic look -
at least in comparison with an Apple PAL-System."

- Joystick 2 controls only button #1 (ie. not button #2)
This is so that player 1 can't affect player 2's controls.
So there is no way to control button #2 via a joystick. I don't think this will be a problem.
Of course Left Alt, Right Alt and Shift still activate the 3 buttons.
NB. Disable 2nd joystick if playing a 1 player game that requires the use of buttons 0 and 1.
Tested with Archon I, Archon II and One-on-one.
1.12.1 - 24 Nov 2002
--------------------
Changes:
- Changed tone waveform from orthodox square-wave to a more logarithm shape,
based on real MB waveform analysis. This is by no means perfect, but in my
opinion gives the tones more musical quality.
- Added MB enable/disable switch to Configuration dialog.
- Added simple logging support. If AppleWin is started from the command line
(DOS box) with the '-l' switch, then a text log file, AppleWin.log, will be
generated. This can hopefully be used to diagnose problems some users are having.
