A wild MAME 0.215 appears! Yes, another month has gone by, and it’s
time to check out what’s new. On the arcade side, Taito’s incredibly
rare 4-screen top-down racer Super Dead Heat is now playable!
Joining its ranks are other rarities, such as the European release
of Capcom‘s 19XX: The War Against Destiny, and a bootleg of Jaleco’s
P-47 – The Freedom Fighter using a different sound system. We’ve
got three newly supported Game & Watch titles: Lion, Manhole, and
Spitball Sparky, as well as the crystal screen version of Super
Mario Bros. Two new JAKKS Pacific TV games, Capcom 3-in-1 and Disney
Princesses, have also been added.
Other improvements include several more protection microcontrollers
dumped and emulated, the NCR Decision Mate V working (now including
hard disk controllers), graphics fixes for the 68k-based SNK and
Alpha Denshi games, and some graphical updates to the Super A'Can
driver.
We’ve updated bgfx, adding preliminary Vulkan support. There are
some issues we’re aware of, so if you run into issues, check our
GitHub issues page to see if it’s already known, and report it if
it isn’t. We’ve also improved support for building and running on
Linux systems without X11.
0.214:
With the end of September almost here, it’s time to see what goodies
MAME 0.214 delivers. This month, we’ve got support for five more
Nintendo Game & Watch titles (Fire, Flagman, Helmet, Judge and
Vermin), four Chinese computers from the 1980s, and three Motorola
CPU evaluation kits. Cassette support has been added or fixed for
a number of systems, the Dragon Speech Synthesis module has been
emulated, and the Dragon Sound Extension module has been fixed.
Acorn Archimedes video, sound and joystick support has been greatly
improved.
On the arcade side, remaining issues in Capcom CPS-3 video emulation
have been resolved and CD images have been upgraded to CHD version
5, Sega versus cabinet billboard support has been added to relevant
games, and long-standing issues with music tempo in Data East games
have been worked around.
0.213:
It's really about time we released MAME 0.213, with more of everything
we know you all love. First of all, we’re proud to present support
for the first Hegener + Glaser product: the “brikett” chess computers,
Mephisto, Mephisto II and Mephisto III. As you can probably guess,
there’s an addition from Nintendo’s Game & Watch line. This month
it’s Mario’s Bombs Away. On a related note, we’ve also added
Elektronika’s Kosmicheskiy Most, exported as Space Bridge, which
is an unlicensed total conversion of the Game & Watch title Fire.
If you haven’t played any of the handheld LCD games in MAME, you’re
missing something special – they look superb with external scanned
and traced artwork.
On the arcade side, we’ve added The Destroyer From Jail (a rare
Philko game), and alternate regional versions of Block Out and
Super Shanghai Dragon’s Eye. The CD for Simpsons Bowling has been
re-dumped, resolving some long-standing issues. With its protection
microcontroller dumped and emulated, Birdie Try is now fully
playable. Protection microcontrollers for The Deep and Last Mission
have also been dumped and emulated. Improvements to Seibu hardware
emulation mean Banpresto’s SD Gundam Sangokushi Rainbow Tairiku
Senki is now playable, and sprite priorities in Seibu Cup Soccer
have been improved.
In computer emulation, two interesting DOS compatible machines
based on the Intel 80186 CPU are now working: the Mindset Personal
Computer, and the Dulmont Magnum. The Apple II software lists have
been updated to include almost all known clean cracks and original
flux dumps, and the Apple II gameport ComputerEyes frame grabber
is now emulated. We’ve received a series of submissions that greatly
improve emulation of the SWTPC S/09 and SS-30 bus cards. On the
SGI front, the 4D/20 now has fully-working IRIX 4.0.5 via serial
console, and a whole host of improvements have gone into the Indy
“Newport” graphics board emulation. Finally, MAME now supports HDI,
2MG and raw hard disk image files.
Release 1.2.3:
* Increased allowable worksheet url length from 255 to 2079 characters, as
supported in more recent versions of Excel. A lower or user defined limit
can be set via the ``max_url_length`` property in the :func:`Workbook`
constructor.
* Fixed several issues with hyperlinks in worksheet images.
Both of them installed libpsl library, meaning only one of them could
be installed at one time. Changed the GMT libpsl library name to
libgmtpsl. Changing GMT library was more appropriate as only iGMT
depends on GMT and it does not use libraries.
libsigc++ implements a full callback system for use in widget
libraries, abstract interfaces, and general programming. Originally
part of the Gtk-- widget set, libsigc++ is now a separate library
to provide for more general use. It is the most complete library
of its kind with the ability to connect an abstract callback to a
class method, function, or function object. It contains adaptor
classes for connection of dissimilar callbacks and has an ease of
use unmatched by other C++ callback libraries.
This is major version 3 of the library.
Release 0.82.0:
core:
* Fix not being able to open some files. Issue #832
* Fix crashes in malformed files
* Fix memory leak on broken files
* Minor performance improvements
* Minor code improvements
glib:
* Add poppler_document_new_from_bytes
* PopplerAttachment: Silence deprecation warnings for ctime/mtime
build system:
* pdf-inspector: Support builddir != srcdir
* Install Cairo* headers if Cairo has been found
This module provides libxml2 for other modules to use. There was an
already existing Alien::LibXML, but it uses the older
Alien::Build::ModuleBuild and has not been actively maintained for a
while.
Changes:
2.26.2
======
- Improve performance of querying system fallback fonts.
- Don't use prgname in dbus-proxy socket path.
- Fix thread-safety issues in image decoders.
- Fix the build with WebDriver disabled.
- Disable accelerated compositing when we fail to initialize the EGL
dispaly under Wayland.
- Fill the objects category in emoji picker.
- Fix several crashes and rendering issues.
Version 2.8.1:
Data updates
- Updated tzdata version to 2019c.
Bugfixes
- Fixed a race condition in the ``tzoffset`` and ``tzstr`` "strong" caches on
Python 2.7.
- Parsing errors will now raise ``ParserError``, a subclass of ``ValueError``,
which has a nicer string representation.
- ``parser.parse`` will now raise ``TypeError`` when ``tzinfos`` is passed a
type that cannot be interpreted as a time zone. Prior to this change, it
would raise an ``UnboundLocalError`` instead.
- Changed error message raised when when passing a ``bytes`` object as the time
zone name to gettz in Python 3.
- Changed compatibility logic to support a potential Python 4.0 release.
- Updated many modules to use ``tz.UTC`` in favor of ``tz.tzutc()`` internally,
to avoid an unnecessary function call.
- Fixed issue where ``dateutil.tz`` was using a backported version of
``contextlib.nullcontext`` even in Python 3.7 due to a malformed import
statement.
Tests
- Switched from using assertWarns to using pytest.warns in the test suite.
- Fix typo in setup.cfg causing PendingDeprecationWarning to not be explicitly
specified as an error in the warnings filter.
- Fixed issue where ``test_tzlocal_offset_equal`` would fail in certain
environments (such as FreeBSD) due to an invalid assumption about what time
zone names are provided.
- Fixed a minor bug in ``test_isoparser`` related to ``bytes``/``str``
handling.
- Explicitly listed all markers used in the pytest configuration.
- Extensive improvements to the parser test suite, including the adoption of
``pytest``-style tests and the addition of parametrization of several test
cases.
- Added tests for tzinfos input types.
- Fixed failure of test suite when changing the TZ variable is forbidden.
- Pinned all test dependencies on Python 3.3.
Documentation changes
- Fixed many misspellings, typos and styling errors in the comments and
documentation.
Misc
- Added Python 3.8 to the trove classifiers.
- Moved as many keys from ``setup.py`` to ``setup.cfg`` as possible.
- Reorganized ``parser`` methods by functionality.
- Switched ``release.py`` over to using ``pep517.build`` for creating releases,
rather than direct invocations of ``setup.py``.
- Added a "build" environment into the tox configuration, to handle dependency
management when making releases.
4.0.0:
- Support file configuration overrides
- Add support for analyzing Jupyter notebooks
3.0.1:
- Automatically exclude binary files, instead of producing an error
3.0.0:
- Include files with no extension but a Python shebang
- Fix calculation of total complexity for classes
- Update Colorama dependency to avoid conflicts with pytest
- Fix raw metrics, which were completely broken
