Today we released an update of openMSX Catapult 0.6.0. It is a bug-fix
release for Windows users.
Shortly after release, we found out that a small number of users had
problems with some registry keys. This is due to the wxWidgets library
we use. Although we don't fully understand what went wrong, we
recompiled the library without the components that caused the
misbehaviour. We also removed unicode support from it, which limited
Catapult to work only on Windows NT, 2000 and XP.
There was also another smaller problem that affected all Windows users:
when starting Catapult for the first time, the "MSX Type" combobox would
appear empty. Starting openMSX like that crashed the application. This
was corrected and is in fact the only thing that changed to the source
code, compared to the previous release.
Non-Windows users don't need to update, as they will not notice any
difference.
Because of the updated Catapult, we put two new binary Windows
distributions online, the usual installer and zip file. Both contain the
updated Catapult and exactly the same openMSX binary as the previous
0.6.0 packages. The source of Catapult has of course also been replaced
by the updated one.
Note that we have hardly tested the release on Windows 98, but we have
heard from some users that there might be smaller or bigger problems
there. If you experience problems, let us know.
Obviously we can use more Windows developers to help us with openMSX and
Catapult! You are still warmly invited.
