A new development version has been released. Changes in FS-UAE 2.1.28dev:

• For directory hard drives, save file attributes in .uaem files (permissions, timestamp, file note).
• Fix for directory hard drives so correct case is reported back to the Amiga when the Amiga opens a file with another case than what’s stored.
• Report local time for files in directory hard drive.
• Use re-entrant / thread-safe variants of time functions.
• Reverted the scanline function to its older / simpler behavior, use the shader “scanlines-nonlinear” instead.
• New shaders included: scanlines-classic (same as scanline CPU filter), and scanlines-nonlinear (a scanline filter which varies with pixel intensity and also introduces some pixel blending).
• Text cache texture size is now 2048×2048 (was 1024×1024).
• For automatic directory hard drive volume label, only use the part before an opening parenthesis (if it exists).
• New options to configure what screenshots to save and where to save them.
• A bit more compact naming of screenshots, and reset sub-minute counter for each minute (makes sorted names always cronological even with large number of screenshots).
• Can now bind keys to action_screenshot, notification replaces previous notification (of same type).
• Lua scripts can be used to read/write Amiga memory, position the output video rectangle, change shader (experimental feature).
• Support /dev/tty as the serial output [Jason S. McMullan].
• Patch for Linux CD ioctl support [Jason S. McMullan].
• Removed a some useless stubs printed to stdout, removed several printf statements logging stuff to stdout.
• Updated translations: fi [GoingDown], cs [spajdr].

• (Launcher) Fixed problem where .fs-uae configurations could in some cases disappear from the configuration list when refreshing the online database.
• (Launcher) Fixed a bug where config name was saved in config file if based on a config from online database.
• (Launcher) Automatically set screenshots_output_prefix based on floppy name.
• (Launcher) If A500 kickstart is not found on startup, look for Amiga Forever in default location and add kickstarts to database if found (Windows).
• (Launcher) Add Amiga Forever shared documents directory to search path.
• (Launcher) Index files in .rp9 archives, contained disk images can be used with the online database (when match is found).
• (Launcher) Support file comments for WHDLoad slave files when using the online database, comments are stored in .uaem files. Fixes Embryo.
