* [[Mike Coates]] completed the samples support in Space Panic.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] added samples support in Invinco and Pulsar.

* [[Sal Bugliarisi]] fixed the coin sound in Naughty Boy.

* [[CAB]] added sound in Hot Chase.

* [[Paul Leaman]] improved Battle Lane.

* [[Aaron Giles]] fixed Turkey Shoot.

* The new Allegro library supports the Gravis GrIP devices, use -joy grip or -joy grip4 to enable.

* The DOS version is now compiled with Allegro 3.9.26 WIP.

* [[Tatsuyuki Satoh]] made several improvements to FM sound emulators. This also fixes crashes in some Jaleco Mega System 1 games.

* [[Jarek Burczynski]] made improvements to the other YM2151 emulator too.

* VIDEO_UPDATE_BEFORE_VBLANK is now the default. If you want your driver to redraw the screen after vblank, use VIDEO_UPDATE_AFTER_VBLANK.

* [[Aaron Giles]] rewrote the HC55516 CVSD decoder. This affects Sinistar, Joust 2, Arch Rivals, Pigskin, Tri-Sports, Smash TV, Trog, Narc.

* [[Juergen Buchmueller]] made some improvements to the Z80 emulator.

* [[Tatsuyuki Satoh]] made some fixes to HD63701 IRQ handling, and support for ICI (Input Capture Interrupt).

* [[Aaron Giles]] made improvements to the 34010 emulation.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added a new function findmemorychunk() that lets you look up a chunk of memory and get its start/end addresses, and its base. This can be used (carefully!) by drivers that wish to access memory directly without going through the readmem/writemem accessors (e.g., blitters).

* [[Nicola Salmoria]] replaced cpu_reset() with cpu_set_reset_line(). cpu_set_reset_line(num,PULSE_LINE) is equivalent to the old cpu_reset(). ASSERT_LINE resets the cpu and halts it. CLEAR_LINE restarts it. This avoids the need to call cpu_halt() in most cases.
