Mid-February 2021 update
Published on February 16, 2021 by Dimitris Panokostas

Hi everyone!

The last couple of weeks, the focus has been mostly on testing and bug-fixing anything that comes up. There were a few new features implemented as well, however. Here's the list:

- Added new WHDLoad option: CONFIGDELAY (#730)

- Reworked input device handling. This should slightly reduce input latency, as well.

- Implemented the "Autoswitch Joystick/Mouse" option. The option was there before, but it didn't really do anything. It does now! :)

- Made sure the mouse is always grabbed on startup, not just when using Full-screen modes

- Implemented automatic German keyboard detection (#558). This should now provide the expected keyboard scancodes when using the # key for instance.

- Fixed double mouse pointers glitch

- Fixed bug where window focus would not be released after the first time. Only noticeable when running under X11 of course.

- Fixed black screen/freeze when changing Screen Height after emulation had started.

- Fixed CDTV and CD32 statefile restore with paused CD audio and CD32 CD-audio mute. This one came from WinUAE

- Minor blitter improvement, also from WinUAE

- Fixed unexpected crashes, when running under X11 and dragging or resizing other Linux apps in front of Amiberry's window, very quickly.

Meanwhile, we are testing daily with the AmiKit beta testers team, since both Jan and me would like to polish and fix as many glitches as possible before both releases (Amiberry and AmiKit). AmiKit is scheduled to be released sometime next month...

That's it for now, talk to you again in 2 weeks time!
