April 18, 1999 - Version 0.61 released!
This is a bugfix release only. I want to thank everyone who sent me patches and suggestions, but I need to fix the old bugs before I start adding new ones, so many new features didn't make it into this release. Don't worry, the new stuff is coming soon.
What's fixed in 0.61:

• No scanline IRQs while the display is off.
• Fixed some problems with the sprite 0 hit flag.
• NMI occurs during scanline 241, not at the end of line 239.
• Sprite DMA takes 514 CPU cycles. (Thanks Matthew Conte!)
• Handle v-scroll values greater than 240 like a real NES does.
  Additional release notes for version 0.61

April 10, 1999 - Version 0.6 released!
What's new:

• MMC3 IRQ support added.
• New video code draws pixmap directly instead of calling xlib, which should improve accuracy and portability. It's a bit slower tho.
• Self-modifying indirect jump instruction is now handled properly.
• Corrected cycle count for branches which cross page boundary.
  Additional release notes for version 0.6
