Just a quick UI bugfixes release.
Changes 2.0.0:
This release brings major source code clean up, numerous bug fixes and
many great new features and important improvements. 98% of changes since
last release have been made by Piotr Fusik - admire his dedication
to Atari800 project while you will be browsing through the impressive list
of changes below.
Run-time configuration (via the .atari800.cfg file) has been improved.
All configuration options are now available in the User Interface.
Remember to use "Save configuration file" when necessary.
If you are new to Atari800, press F1 and select "Emulator Configuration"
to configure the ROM images. This can be easily done with
"Find ROM images in a directory".
DISK_DIR, ROM_DIR, EXE_DIR and STATE_DIR configuration options are no longer
supported in this version. You need to re-select your directories
using "Emulator Configuration" -> "Configure directories".
