    • New SCANLINE VERA register behavior to reflect updated VERA feature [mooinglemur]
    • Added -randram and -wuninit command line arguments to randomize RAM at boot, and to emit a console warning when uninitialized RAM is read, respectively. [stefan-b-jakobsson]
    • Allow specifying non-power-of-2 argument to -ram, in increments of 8k [JimmyDansbo]
    • Added -via2 option to selectively enable a VIA at $9F10. [akumanatt]
    • Added ROM cart loading with -cart and -cartbin [indigodarkwolf]

    • Mouse grab mode, press Ctrl+M (Mac: ⇧⌘M) to toggle. [mooinglemur]
    • New -fsroot and -startin options to specify the root of the emulated host fs, and the host directory to start in respectively. [mooinglemur]
    • Many, many new features implemented in the ROM
  • Other
    • PS/2 devices now connected via SMC via I2C, I2C pins have moved to match hardware [stefan-b-jakobsson]
    • Recognize middle mouse button [ZeroByteOrg]
    • Synchronized keymaps with ROM [megagrump]
    • Build fixes [irmen]
    • Show dialog when a STP instruction is encountered with debug turned off [akumanatt]

    • Changes to match Proto 4, including moving VIA1 interrupt pin to IRQ [akumanatt]
    • VERA mid-frame raster effects more closely match the timing of real hardware [mooinglemur]
    • Enabled and built out CI/CD build workflows [maxgerhardt, indigodarkwolf, mooinglemur]
