Stella v4.2

EmuCR: StellaStella v4.2 is released. Stella is a multi-platform Atari 2600 VCS emulator. The Atari 2600 Video Computer System (VCS), introduced in 1977, was the most popular home video game system of the early 1980's. Now you can enjoy all of your favorite Atari 2600 games on your PC thanks to Stella!

Stella v4.2 changelog:
* Text input from non-US keyboard layouts is now supported. Note that

all text in Stella is still ASCII-only, but at least it can now be

entered using a native layout.



* Related to the text input changes, the debugger Alt-combo shortcuts

have been changed; they now use the same key but with Control instead

of Alt (Control-F for frame advance, etc).



* Controllers are now detected dynamically by Stella. This means that

you can plug/unplug joysticks/paddles/etc while Stella is running,

and they will be added and removed automatically. Also fixed is

a bug whereby sometimes custom joystick mappings weren't being saved.



* The 'cpurandom' option is now broken down by register type, so you

can selectively enable/disable randomization for each one. The

default is to disable randomization for all registers.



* Fixed 'MDM' scheme to trigger bankswitching on writes to hotspots

(previously it only triggered on reads). Also, the scheme has been

modified as originally designed by E. Blink; hotspots are now in the

range $800-$BFF instead of $800-$FFF.



* The OSX app-icon now includes 32x32 and 16x16 versions, so 'small'

icons will be viewable in 'Finder', 'Get Info', etc.



* The Linux port now uses an app-icon; this seems to be needed for

some window managers.
