[quote:5afa97bbc4]Here at last. Lots of bug fixes, better performance and an experimental OpenGL renderer in the SDL back-end - which, incidentally, makes E-UAE fly on Mac OS X. Grab the binaries below while they're still warm. Yummy!

[code:1:5afa97bbc4]What's new since 0.8.29-WIP3
============================

A huge amount of work has gone into E-UAE since the last public
release. Not of all of this work will be readily apparent to users
since it took place under the surface. However, some user-visible
changes include&#58;

* Emulation core from WinUAE 1.3.x merged.
* Much more stable on SMP hosts.
* Builds on Solaris x86 &#40;with GCC&#41;.
* Integrated mouse-hack feature merged from WinUAE &#40;this synchronizes
  the Amiga mouse pointer with the host pointer when E-UAE is running
  in a window on your desktop&#41; merged from WinUAE. The old AmigaOS
  mousehack tool is no longer required.
* New, easier-to-use Linux SCSI back-end &#40;Jochen Becher&#41;.
* Experimental GL renderer in SDL display back-end &#40;originally from
  Jochen Becher but mostly re-written&#41;. On most platforms this is yet
  to offer much over the existing 2D renderer, but on Mac OS X it
  offers significantly better performance. Enabled with
  'sdl.use_gl=true'.
* Support for the 'uae-configuration' tool merged from WinUAE. This is
  an AmigaOS shell command which allows UAE settings to be queried and
  modified from within the emulation environment.
* Better, smoother performance when cpu_speed=real &#40;A500 speed&#41;. E-UAE
  adapts better to changing system latencies.
* 'Sinc' audio interpolation added &#40;Antti Lankila&#41;.
* Minor performance improvements in interpretive CPU emulator and JIT
  engine.
* Mac OS X icon added &#40;from Daniel Pimley&#41;.
* Lots of bugs fixes, including&#58;
  - Broken 'delayed' interrupt handling when JIT was disabled.
  - Inconsistent refreshing of P96 screens.
  - Filesystems being mounted twice.
  - Hardfiles broken following a reset.
  - Broken detection of XKB path in X11 driver &#40;fix from Peter Volkov&#41;.
