Does anyone know what changes there are from the 61 release up until this weeks CVS?

I couldn't find a changelog and thus I don't know what to look for when dealing with bugs and new features, etc...

Can anyone help?

---------------------------------------------------------------

For future reference, the "current" ChangeLog can be found here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/dosbox/ … Log?view=markup
However, it's not updated as quickly as individual files are, so for the rest of it, you have to go clicking on each file that's newer than the release. 😒 This is the last time I'll ever do this for someone; you need the ChangeLog, go read and compile it yourself.

There's even some better things being worked on (read: new features/compatibility) in a private forum, but I best keep mum about that.

Yes, but what I was referring to (or teasing) hasn't been committed to CVS yet - it's experimental.

Okay, that's all I'll say on the subject. 😁
