== Specific Contributions ==
The known contributions for this version are, in the order specified in the whatsnew:

* [[Christophe Jaillet]] added a "native" architecture option to the makefile. Use this to have gcc automatically pick the most appropriate architecture based on the system that it is compiling on.

* [[Andrew Gardner]] and [[Justin Kerk]] hooked up the KL5C80 communications CPU to the HNG64 BIOS and emulated some of its features.

* [[Atari Ace]] fixed a few pointer truncation bugs in the Windows 64-bit code. Enabled warnings for 64-bit pointer truncations. Merged the x86 and x64 manifests.

* [[Tim Lindner]] changed the 6821 PIA logging so that it only logs core messages once.

* [[Johnboy]] made updates to various NeoGeo ROMsets. Some ROM names updated to match verified names from chip labels. A lot of "older" sets have been redumped to investigate the "64k m1/s1 issue" (also the m1 "overdumps"). Result was, ALL m1 ARE at least 128kx8; ALL s1 ARE 128kx8. The old m1 "overdumps" were incomplete dumps. In addition, it has been discovered that all "p-roms" do have a minimum size of 4mbit. A number of sets have been restored to their "original" state, and a number of others have been marked as bad dumps where appropriate. Specific changes include:
** bjourney: readded 128k m1 from Mame v0.34b5
** bstars: fully redumped, added correct m1
** bstars2: fully redumped, added correct m1
** goalx3: readded 128k m1 from Mame v0.34b5

** svcboot: removed MVS tag
** tws96: readded 128k m1 from Mame v0.34b5
** viewpoin: readded 128k m1/s1 from Mame v0.34b5
** wh2j: partially redumped, renamed to wh2jh, is verified AES version
** wh2j: fully redumped, is verified MVS version
** wh1h: fully redumped, is verified AES version
** wh1ha: renamed from wh1h to wh1ha

* [[Aaron Giles]] made several more traditional optimizations to the voodoo emulations, gaining a few percent improvement.

* [[Aaron Giles]] further tweaked the work code to appropriately check for work items versus checking for the number of outstanding items.

* [[Aaron Giles]] simplified some of the model2 rendering code.

* [[Aaron Giles]] and [[Curt Coder]] moved a number of files from mame/machine and mame/video to emu/machine and emu/video. In general, files that emulate a common industry standard chip (as opposed to custom, manufacturer-specific chips) were moved. Further moves may happen in the future to isolate common system-level components (such as amiga, snes, etc.).
