There goal is to make DOSBox better, the limit is me, since I don't know anything about coding in C++ I can only continue to combine these patches I consider the most useful for this goal.
I'm not planning to make ECE another everything-including-the-kitchen-sink build, in fact I don't think that I'll add many more patches. As I said, I'm no developer and the more patches I add, the more difficult it gets to make sure they all play nice together. And configuring DOSBox doesn't get easier as well, so convenience would suffer more and more the more patches I'd add. I also think the current state contains some of the best and useful features DOSBox can have, so for the moment I'll leave it that way. I'm even thinking of dropping the FLAC patch, because it causes problems with some games if you don't use a FLAC CD image (That's why it has it's own build).

Thanks, but I'm checking the forums rather frequently, I'll see when you release a new version.
