WinUAE v2.4.2 Beta 7

EmuCR:WinUAEWinUAE v2.4.2 Beta 7 is released. WinUAE is the commodore amiga emulator for Windows. WinUAE is a mostly complete software emulation of the hardware of the Commodore Amiga 500/1000/2000. A Commodore Amiga, for those who don’t know, is a 16/32 bit computer system based on the Motorola 680×0 CPU and a few specially designed custom chips that provide very good graphics and sound capabilities. Its first incarnation, the A1000, appeared in 1985, followed by the highly successful A500 and A2000 models. WinUAE is a port of the originally written for Unixish systems UAE; but over time, it seems the Windows port, WinUAE has become the best version available on any platform. WinUAE is free software: you are welcome to distribute copies of it and/or modify it, under certain conditions. There is no warranty of any kind for UAE. For more details concerning these issues, please read the GNU General Public License, which describes the terms under which WinUAE is distributed.

WinUAE v2.4.2 Beta 7 changelog:
- Directory filesystem 64-bit seek (ACTION_CHANGE_FILE_POSITION64) broke in 240b27
- -nodirectinput mode was always enabled. (b6)
- -nodirectinput does not anymore disable mouse/keyboard directinput enumeration if rawinput fails to initialize.
- Syncronize clock enabled and loading new config crashed in some situations (b6)
- Blitter emulation didn't leave correct data in blitter's B data register after linedraw finished, fixes No Way demo by Academy that seems to use wrong minterm that requires correct static value in B data register.
- WASAPI exclusive software volume control support. It seems normal WASAPI volume control does nothing in exclusive mode.
- Added support for unimplemented integer instructions to 68k emulation code generators. Not yet in use. (This is easy part, unimplemented floating point support is very difficult because it requires special FPU stack frame)

**********************

- Experimental memory space rewrite. Now WinUAE reserves address space as much as possible (~1.6G if 64-bit OS, 512M if 32-bit, note that this is only reserved space, actual memory is not yet allocated). Allows more stable on the fly memory size changes. It is not guaranteed that this is safe to use and won't cause side-effects or other bad behavior or loss of performance, please test and report.
