- New devices: floppy_35_dd and jvs13551
- New Cheat.dat:  http://cheat.retrogames.com/
- DSP56156 CPU: Removed the not required direct update handler
- KONAMI-1 CPU: Replaced M6809 CPU1 with KONAMI-1 in circusc, finalizr, gyruss, hyperspt, jailbrek, junofrst, megazone, roadf, rocnrope, sbasketb and trackfld
- M68000 CPU: Fixed unaligned pc-relative accesses (m68000\m68kcpu.h)
- M68020 CPU: Fixed '020 cache emulation corner case
- MIPS CPUs
  . Added MCFG_FORCE_NO_DRC option (cpu\mips\mips3drc.c, rsp\rspdrc.c and sh2\sh2drc.c)
  . Minor MIPS fixups. Fixed drc bug.
- SCSP sound: MSLC port in SCSP writes seems to mask with 0xf800 according to Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius
- SH-1/SH-2 CPUs
  . First step in converting SH-2 to have separate internal devices. Fixed SH-1 num of address bits, removed extra read / write memory checks, added cache data array to main SH-2.
  . Fixed SH-1 internal mem map
  . Fixed number of address lines for SH-1
  . Fixed accessing to internal map, might need another parameter for address cache "masking" (i.e. SH-1 uses address bit 27 for cache).
  . Added SH-2A flavour, which is SH-2 + SH7021 used by (MESS) Casio Loopy. Added bread-and-butter DMA CH 0 for SH7032, used by (MESS) Casio Loopy for RAM fill.
  . Added transfer size clear for DMAs, used by Chaos Seed in SS (still randomly crashes tho).
- Z8000 CPU: Fixed lda register corruption (store src in case dst == src)
- Game Blaster/SB1.0: Corrected clock to 7.159mhz
- SAA1099 sound: Fixed driver to actually use clock
- YMF278B sound
  . Added simple FM reg read back
  . Added (MESS) moonsound FM part (integrated YMF262 to YMF278)
- ATAPI: Added Check Power Mode command (machine\atahle.h and atapihle.c)
- Discrete Netlist
  . Code maintenance. In addition, added a parameter to select iterative solver.
  . Fixed UTF-8 conversion (netlist\solver\mat_cr.h and netlist\tools\nl_convert.c)
  . Disable "-Wmaybe-unitialized" warnings (netlist\solver\vector_base.h)
  . Improved Kid Niki sound quality while maintaining speed by adding more frontiers. Added LOGIC_INPUT to netlist which allows to specify a logic family, i.e. output characterics. Used this for improved AY8910 port modeling.
  . Fixed build without OpenMP (netlist\solver\vector_base.h)
  . Netlist now compiles with -std=c++98 -Wall -Wpedantic -Wextra -Wno-long-long -Wno-variadic-macros and -std=c++11 -Wall -Wpedantic -Wextra
  . Added Voltage source and Current source to netlist
  . Added macro object registration and dynamic includes to netlist. This allows the creation of macro libraries going forward. Any IC which can be described by a truthtable and a package wrapper can now be entirely described in netlist syntax.
  . Identify size_t usage in printf by enclosing the argument in SIZET_PRINTF(). This is typesafe, can be identified and allows to use proper 64bit computing with compilers up to it.
  . Added CD4538
  . Added MM5837 Noise Generator used by Congo Bongo (nl_examples\congo_bongo.c and mm5837_noise.c)
  . Documented progress on Congo Bongo. Gorilla sound now works. Performance up from 30% to 170%. Use nltool -c run -f nl_examples/congo_bongo.c -t 2 to test. Minor enhancements and bugfixes.
  . Fixed issues with GCC4.0 mentioned by Barry and GCC 4.6 compile (solver\vector_base.h)
  . Added two more models to netlist: OPAMP: Generic opamp model. This does all the annoying calculations. Just pass the the datasheet values. LVCCS: A limited current voltage control current source. This will allow slew rate limiting going forward. 
  . Added a (small) parallel conductance to all capacitors to improve convergence.
  . Some initial work to use "long double"
  . Created macro libraries for CD4XXX and 74XX chip families. Going forward, these will contain all devices which can be described using truthtables and DIPPINS. Align naming conventions of CD4XXX series. Moved CD4000/CD4020 DIP definitions to macro lib.
  . Added macro library for opamp models
  . Added a phashmap_t object for faster lookups
  . Aligned builtin device identification with parser device identification
  . Changed phashmap_t to dynamically resize hash table
  . Use hashmap for factory searches
  . Changed case for parameter "model" to uppercase to align with rest of code
  . Added quiet flag to nltool
  . More phashmap_t usage. Quite some nice effect on larger netlist startup time. Hash objects can now deal with arbitrary hash width.
  . Consolidate the scattered model parsing code. Now models support recursive models, e.g. DIODE("1N914(IS=1e-15)"). Removed ".model" from model definitions.
  . Added nlwav to tools. nlwav converts netlist logs into wav files. Example usage: "nlwav -i netlist.log_RO.1.log -o tt.wav" and  "nlwav -h".
  . Added a input control file for Congo Bongo netlist. This file is a standard csv file specifing times and values of parameter modifications for specified devices. This file triggers the various sound inputs using a 10ms impulse. Use "nltool -f nl_examples/congo_bongo.c -t 8 -l RO.1 -i nl_examples/congo_bongo.csv" to create a netlist log file of the congo bongo mixer stage. Use "nlwav -i netlist.log_RO.1.log -o tt.wav -a 17000" to create a wav file tt.wav from the log file using an amplification factor of 17000.
  . Moved MC14584B to netlist\macro\nlm_other.c/h
  . Added macro models of LM324 and LM358. Made Kid Niki use those (audio\irem.c).
  . Fixed a buffer overflow in sound\discrete.c
  . Do not use netlist for 10-Yard Fight sound

- V9938 video
  . Colour mask should not influence the pattern mask as in the TMS911x VDP (video\v9938.c). Fixes MT05711 on MSX2 machines.

  . Beatmania (bm37th and bm3final) boots with Keyboardmania BIOS
- fuukifg3.c: Removed YMF262 sound
- galaxia.c: Added technical manual and schematics links to notes, corrected refresh rate and fixes speed in Galaxia and Astro Wars.
- guab.c: Updated driver to use the standard WD floppy controller. This also means that it now uses the software list system instead of loading the floppy disk image into a memory region. To run the driver use: "mame guab -flop guab3" now. You may also just start the driver, then choose a floppy disk image from the builtin file manager.
