* [[Luca Elia]]
* [[Nicola Salmoria]]
* [[Phil Stroffolino]]
* [[Takahiro Nogi]]
* [[Vernon C. Brooks]]
* [[Zsolt Vasvari]]

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

* [[Aaron Giles]] added sprite multiplexing support in the Exidy440 games, this fixes Chiller's start screen.

* Fixed the internal orientation of the Cinematronics games, if you use artwork files for those games you'll have to manually flip them (or redownload).

* [[Phil Stroffolino]] improved Capcom Avengers, the wrong colors are caused by the protection.

* [[Takahiro Nogi]] added the noise generator to the Namco sound emulation.

* [[Nicola Salmoria]] removed *rom_decode and *opcode_decode from struct GameDriver. Decryption must now be handled by *driver_init. If opcodes and data are decrypted separately, remember to allocate a larger chunk of memory in the ROM declaration, decode the opcodes there, and call memory_set_opcode_base() to tell the memory system where the opcodes are. Note that this new system allows bank switching with encrypted ROMs, which wasn't possible before.

* [[Nicola Salmoria]] removed *hiscore_load and *hiscore_save from the GameDriver structure. To manage nvram/eeprom/cmos/etc the new *nvram_handler in struct MachineDriver must be used. High score save is temporarily disabled. It will be added again in a future release using an external .dat file.

* The struct GameDriver reorganization is finally complete. Drivers should now use the GAME() and GAMEX() macros and not directly the GameDriver structure. IMPORTANT FOR PORTERS: Note that the clone_of field now is not necessarily 0 even if the game is not a clone. If clone_of is not 0, to know if the game is a clone you have to check (clone_of->flags & NOT_A_DRIVER) is 0.

* Added OSD_FILETYPE_NVRAM.

* MachineDriver->frames_per_second is now a float.
