We are proud to announce the release of a new WinFellow version. Compared to version 0.5.2 there are a number of changes in this build, with the most significant ones being:
New features:

support for high DPI configurations, also when used together with Amiga Forever 2016
support for the original Amiga 1000 boot process from Kickstart disk boot; configure the A1000 bootstrap ROM like any other ROM image for the feature to be automatically enabled
support for keyboard-initiated reset - press Ctrl+Left Windows+Right Windows or Ctrl+Left Windows+Context Menu (as not all keyboards have a right Windows key) to initiate a reboot within an emulated session
support for extended ROM images; this gives the ability to use the AROS boot ROM
support for screenshots, clipping editor/live preview and scanlines in Amiga Forever

Changed functionality:

WinFellow is now compiled using Visual Studio 2015
the default configuration contains 512kB chip/bogo memory now and has the real-time clock active (Amiga 500 with A-501 expansion)
the default configuration is now windowed and has LEDs active
chip memory mirroring has been implemented for OCS chipsets; the change was required for compatibility reasons, as some titles rely on it
- because of this change, chip memory is now limited to 512kB when an OCS blitter has been configured; if you need to use more, please use the ECS Agnus blitter in your display configuration (it is an actual limitation of the OCS chipset)
2x mode in Amiga Forever now scales via DirectX instead of the internal draw modules (design change was necessary to enable live preview in 2x mode)

Bug fixes:

implemented bogo memory mirroring for ECS chipset with 512kB chip/bogo memory (required by the demo Move any Mountain)
fix for CIA timer logic (fixes the game Atomix)
fixes for several CPU instructions:
- ’020 bit-field instructions were re-implemented (fix for Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge 96k)
- ASL instruction’s overflow detection was improved
- MULU flag check improved
escape key special handling in Amiga Forever improved (some titles would not detect an escape key press before)

Please see the included file ChangeLog.txt for a full list of changes, including minor bug fixes which are not listed above.
