- New drivers: thedealr.c
- New devices: floppy_35_dd
- New Cheat.dat: http://cheat.retrogames.com/
- DSP56156 CPU: Removed the not required direct update handler
- KONAMI-1 CPU: Replaced M6809 CPU1 with KONAMI-1 in circusc, finalizr, gyruss, hyperspt, jailbrek, junofrst, megazone, roadf, rocnrope, sbasketb and trackfld
- M68000 CPU: Fixed unaligned pc-relative accesses (m68000\m68kcpu.h)
- M68020 CPU: Fixed '020 cache emulation corner case
- MIPS CPUs
  . Added MCFG_FORCE_NO_DRC option (cpu\mips\mips3drc.c, rsp\rspdrc.c and sh2\sh2drc.c)
  . Minor MIPS fixups. Fixed drc bug.
- SCSP sound: MSLC port in SCSP writes seems to mask with 0xf800 according to Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius
- SH-1/SH-2 CPUs
  . First step in converting SH-2 to have separate internal devices. Fixed SH-1 num of address bits, removed extra read / write memory checks, added cache data array to main SH-2.
  . Fixed SH-1 internal mem map
  . Fixed number of address lines for SH-1
  . Fixed accessing to internal map, might need another parameter for address cache "masking" (i.e. SH-1 uses address bit 27 for cache).
  . Added SH-2A flavour, which is SH-2 + SH7021 used by (MESS) Casio Loopy. Added bread-and-butter DMA CH 0 for SH7032, used by (MESS) Casio Loopy for RAM fill.
  . Added transfer size clear for DMAs, used by Chaos Seed in SS (still randomly crashes tho).
- Z8000 CPU: Fixed lda register corruption (store src in case dst == src)
- Game Blaster/SB1.0: Corrected clock to 7.159mhz
- SAA1099 sound: Fixed driver to actually use clock
- YMF278B sound
  . Added simple FM reg read back
  . Added (MESS) moonsound FM part (integrated YMF262 to YMF278)
- Discrete Netlist
  . Code maintenance. In addition, added a parameter to select iterative solver.
  . Fixed UTF-8 conversion (netlist\solver\mat_cr.h and netlist\tools\nl_convert.c)
  . Disable "-Wmaybe-unitialized" warnings (netlist\solver\vector_base.h)
  . Improved Kid Niki sound quality while maintaining speed by adding more frontiers. Added LOGIC_INPUT to netlist which allows to specify a logic family, i.e. output characterics. Used this for improved AY8910 port modeling.
  . Fixed build without OpenMP (netlist\solver\vector_base.h)
  . Netlist now compiles with -std=c++98 -Wall -Wpedantic -Wextra -Wno-long-long -Wno-variadic-macros and -std=c++11 -Wall -Wpedantic -Wextra
  . Added Voltage source and Current source to netlist
  . Added macro object registration and dynamic includes to netlist. This allows the creation of macro libraries going forward. Any IC which can be described by a truthtable and a package wrapper can now be entirely described in netlist syntax.
  . Identify size_t usage in printf by enclosing the argument in SIZET_PRINTF(). This is typesafe, can be identified and allows to use proper 64bit computing with compilers up to it.
  . Added CD4538
  . Added MM5837 Noise Generator used by Congo Bongo (nl_examples\congo_bongo.c and mm5837_noise.c)
  . Documented progress on Congo Bongo. Gorilla sound now works. Performance up from 30% to 170%. Use nltool -c run -f nl_examples/congo_bongo.c -t 2 to test. Minor enhancements and bugfixes.
  . Fixed issues with GCC4.0 mentioned by Barry and GCC 4.6 compile (solver\vector_base.h)
  . Added two more models to netlist: OPAMP: Generic opamp model. This does all the annoying calculations. Just pass the the datasheet values. LVCCS: A limited current voltage control current source. This will allow slew rate limiting going forward. 
  . Added a (small) parallel conductance to all capacitors to improve convergence.
  . Some initial work to use "long double"
  . Created macro libraries for CD4XXX and 74XX chip families. Going forward, these will contain all devices which can be described using truthtables and DIPPINS. Align naming conventions of CD4XXX series. Moved CD4000/CD4020 DIP definitions to macro lib.
  . Added macro library for opamp models
  . Added a phashmap_t object for faster lookups
  . Aligned builtin device identification with parser device identification
  . Changed phashmap_t to dynamically resize hash table
  . Use hashmap for factory searches
  . Changed case for parameter "model" to uppercase to align with rest of code
  . Added quiet flag to nltool
  . More phashmap_t usage. Quite some nice effect on larger netlist startup time. Hash objects can now deal with arbitrary hash width.
  . Consolidate the scattered model parsing code. Now models support recursive models, e.g. DIODE("1N914(IS=1e-15)"). Removed ".model" from model definitions.
- Harddisk: Decrease IDE read fill-time to avoids timeouts (machine\idehd.c)
- Konami Custom: Added missing save states to K053252

- V9938 video
  . Colour mask should not influence the pattern mask as in the TMS911x VDP (video\v9938.c). Fixes MT05711 on MSX2 machines.
  . Removed set_resolution() method, simplifying the code a bit. All drivers were defaulting to the 'HIGH' setting anyway. This also puts the drivers back in charge of setting the screen parameters.
- Voodoo GFX
  . Added INLINE before ATTR_FORCE_INLINE (video\vooddefs.h)
  . Converted rasterizer path to use rgbaint_t types. Switched to new reciplog function (video\vooddefs.h).

  . Added define for turning off cycle eating during regiser reads
- aleck64.c
  . Removed RSP SIMD version
  . Merging in direct RSP vector opcodes from CEN64
  . Fixed remaining N64 issues on 32-bit (video\rgbgen.h)
  . Added MCFG_FORCE_NO_DRC option (cpu\rsp\rspdrc.c)
  . Redumped bad rom from Mayjinsen 3, internal checksum now matches ROM dump.
  . Fixed graphics bugs in (MESS) Bust-A-Move 2, probably other gfx bugs also (video\n64.c).
  . Clamp DMEM fetches to 4kb (cpu\rsp\rspcp2.h and vldst.h)
  . Fixed CTC2 and VCH opcodes in RSP SIMD code (cpu\rsp\rspcp2.c)
  . Fixed most N64 visual bugs from new RDP SSE code (video\rgbgen.h, rgbsse.h, rgbvmx.h)
  . Fixed crash when fast-forwarding

- guab.c: Updated driver to use the standard WD floppy controller. This also means that it now uses the software list system instead of loading the floppy disk image into a memory region. To run the driver use: "mame guab -flop guab3" now. You may also just start the driver, then choose a floppy disk image from the builtin file manager.
- hornet.c and vegas.c: Fixed completly wrong colours in gauntdl, gradius4 and nbapbp (video\rgbgen.c, rgbsse.c, rgbvmx.c and vooddefs.h) (ID 05968)

- segas24.c: Defaulted bnzabros, hotrod, hotroda, hotrodj, sgmastc and sspirits disks in service mode (ID 03064), most had some bookingkeeping data still, for example on time stored, or had been blanked out manually leaving corrupt data.
- segas32.c
  . Documented PALs (machine\s32comm.c)
  . S32COMM initial commit. Fixed S32COMM link to Stadium Cross.
- segaybd.c: Declaring the Galaxy Force 2 Super Deluxe unit with its own Z80 motor CPU (motorpcb.prg rom)

  . Added tweaks
  . Very preliminary Framebuffer DMA hook-up, mostly used for Top Landing to show Course Select on screen (Game now playable).
  . Fixed analog inputs, color select for 3D and tilemap priority.
  . Framebuffer erase_op actually clears only the 3D video buffer. Fixes fade-out in Top Landing.
- thunderx.c: Corrected visible area in all games. Verified against Super Contra and Thunder Cross PCBs (ID 05593).

- Spatter: Added correct maincpu rom to clone Spatter (315-5099)
- Spectrum 2000: Give clone Fire Hawk (switchable orientation) a larger ROM space, documented horizontal / vertical switch (there are basically 2 versions of the program in the program roms the part it runs depends on a dipswitch). Note, vertical mode still doesn't work as we have no dumps of the gfx roms used by that mode, the horizontal roms from clone Fire Hawk (horizontal) seem to work for the horizontal mode.

    . github version of jsoncpp with some fixes: pedantic and C++98 and others.
  . Don't include BGFX in windows\video.c
