Releases: CocoaMSX/CocoaMSX
Release list
CocoaMSX version 1.61
CocoaMSX version 1.60
CocoaMSX version 1.56
This is a small release that primarily addresses two issues:
- Adds a new application icon (#39)
- Moves the in-application feeds (update and machine manifests) to a new location
CocoaMSX version 1.55
Most important change in this release is that this is the first version that will no longer work on OS X 10.6. This and subsequent releases require 10.7 and higher - partly to address security concerns in older libraries, and partly to reduce the amount of compatibility code that needs to be written.
New features in this release:
- Proper support for CAS files for non-generic systems (#34)
- Option to insert a new blank cassette (#25)
- Automatic hiding of the mouse cursor after a period of inactivity, if the cursor is over the screen
- Can now flip between tabs in Preferences by using shortcuts (⌘+{/})
- Gamepads/joysticks can now be remapped (#35). Gamepad/joystick support has also been completely redesigned
Bug fixes:
- Removed file type registration for unsupported (non-MSX) systems
- System shortcuts (e.g. CTRL+RIGHT) should no longer interfere with game controls (#36). An unfortunate side-effect of this is that it affects all system shortcuts - including ⌘+TAB
- Escape key should no longer cancel full screen mode
Maintenance stuff:
- Minimum version of OS X supported is now 10.7
- Updated to the latest version of Sparkle
- Switched to the native JSON library (NSJSON)
- Migrated to ARC
- Code cleanup

CocoaMSX version 1.42
Small bug fix release:
- Preferences window will no longer crash the emulator in 10.6/Snow Leopard

- Fixes the Systems tab in Preferences - it should no longer crash on Snow Leopard (10.6.x)
