New versions available

AdvanceMESS Version 0.79.0.0 2004/02

• All from AdvanceMAME 0.79.1 and MESS 0.79.0.

• Added a new revision of the `scale3x' effect. It now looks good as `scale2x'. Added also a new optimized C version of the `scale2x' effect for not x86 MMX architectures.
• The `max' effect now works also in vertical and horizontal expansion.
• Fixed some compilation problems on Mac OS X.
• General improvement of the video blit speed. The program now evalutes at runtime the best approach to write video memory. Or direct or buffered writing.
• Improved the speed of the `lq', `hq', `mean' and `filter' effects using a different method to compute mean pixels.
• The `Video Pipeline' menu now display the time used to update the screen.
• Fixed the display of help tags of players 2, 3, 4.
• Fixed the use of palette 8 bit modes with the FrameBuffer Linux drivers.
• Added a workaround to correct the color in the 15 bit RGB modes for the Radeon FrameBuffer Linux 2.4.23 driver.
• Fixed a memory leak in the DOS SVGALIB Riva/Radeon driver which caused a crash after some video mode changes at runtime.
• The C 68000 emulator is now used as default. You can revert back to the assembler version with the --enable-asm-68000 configure switch. A similar --enable-asm-mips3 switch is present for the MIPS3 assembler emulator.
• The default host configuration directory is now /usr/local/etc if you install in /usr/local.
• The default documentation directory is now /usr/local/share/doc/advance if you install in /usr/local.
• The autoconf defines are now stored in a header file and not in the compiler command line.
• The debugger now always use the new `max' effect. It also forces the video mode to be `rgb' to remove any palette problem.

• If no preview is available, the preview type is automatically changed to a preview type not empty.
• The default host configuration directory is now usr/local/etc if you install in /usr/local.
• The default documentation directory is now usr/local/share/doc/advance if you install in /usr/local.
