This version includes the following features and updates:

FS-UAE 3.1.66/68 allows for more and easier universal joystick mappings (dual stick controls)
Example: Making games like Smash-TV be easily played using a dual stick Xbox Controller.
Due to latest FS-UAE fixes, normal FastMem can now be used with netplay and works cross-platform, thus opening possibilities for more game configurations ex: A600 with FastMem and HDD.

Option for finding Direct-Input controllers using SDL_XINPUT_ENABLED=0

Splash screen during initializing with random useful information on startup, also showing funny random information (thanks to pnutttz and nickill88).

Experimental: A few hand-picked configurations include High-Score and game saving while played on the twitch stream these are indicated with the name suffix (Stream-Score) and (Stream-Save).

Added field for joined streamers on the "games available to join" list-box

Save State file date is now shown in the top-menu list next to the state.
(Additionally: Save-State transferring is now available for all servers)

Now includes additional shaders stored under FS-UAE/Data/Shaders

Includes more backgrounds for changing to your preferred theme (Thanks to Pnutttz)

Option to remove AmigaLive pop up notifications with adding: 'DevOptDisableStreamNotify = 1' in the AmigaLive.ini

Thanks to Scarlett Marseille for the Python server script modifications and implementing tab-chat commands: `!PAL !NTSC !DISCONNECT !DISCONNECTALL` All Netplay Servers now support NTSC mode, and start with NTSC enabled. Can also use !NTSC !PAL for manual switch using the tab-chat (does not work with using the localhost option, which uses the netplay server built-in FS-UAE Launcher. Frode needs to update this for the launcher)

New configurations tagged with (MT32) support Roland MT32 MIDI emulation, check configuration for notes for more details. Thanks again to Scarlett Marseille!



Changes:

Easier way of switching to "Single-Player" games using the drop-down list next to the games list.

Disabled Video-Sync by default (FS-UAE performed very slow on some systems)

Added checkbox option "Broadcast to twitch" so you can stream to twitch.tv/amigalive, all servers can now be used as a stream server (this basically adds 1 more player connection on startup with flagging the game to allow my listening streamer client to connect as a spectator and broad-cast)

When launching DLC content, you will no longer get error messages when files are missing, but will be displayed a friendlier pop-up window.

Updated MacOS/Linux readme.txt



Fixes in this release:

With the included Launcher 3.2.11-beta the paths inside the save state allow for portability (not working for MacOS yet).

Game-Settings for .local configurations were not working.

Saved-States can now be transferred through all servers by selecting the state prior starting the game.

Autocomplete when typing games names over 5 characters ex. "pinball" seemed to painful before.

ImageCanvas on MouseDown when main app is not in focus would result in opening the URL twice.

Name tag now does not accept spaces or wild characters (would cause problems in FS-UAE when loading the netplay settings)

Issue with stream, with more than 1 spectators taking over player slots. Now spectators appear similar to players, but in their own slot, right next to last player in the "Games available to join" list box.

Conflict with players on different servers while simultaneously starting a session to stream on twitch. This was resolved on my end, using 1 client to scan all servers now. Slower but safer.
