CAMBIOS:
It’s with great pleasure that we announce the release of MAME 0.172. This release includes several notable things above and beyond the usual assortment of new systems, new features, and bug fixes.
Most importantly, this is the first release of MAME since the change to a proper open-source licensing scheme as announced earlier this month. From this release onward, MAME will be distributed under a GPL-2.0+ license, with the bulk of code being covered under a 3-clause BSD license.
MAME now has an up-to-date set of documentation! You can find it under the « Documentation » drop-down at the top of this site, or go to http://docs.mamedev.org/ to check it out.
Due to the large number of configuration changes made in this version, we strongly advise all users to delete their existing INI configuration files and re-create them using the « -cc » option.
For those of you running MAME on authentic CRT monitors, MAME now incorporates a number of scaling-related features from GroovyMAME, thanks to its author being brought on board the team, which should help reduce user fragmentation. Please note: If you have issues with MAME 0.172’s graphics output, please ensure that « unevenstretch » is set to 1 in your MAME configuration.
MAME 0.172 will also introduce a new high-score saving system using Lua scripting. The feature is still experimental, but it’s something to keep an eye on for interesting future developments!
This version additionally marks the creation of a cross-platform data-driven shader system via the BGFX renderer, which allows you to apply shader effects per-screen, and more.

CAMBIOS EN EL CODIGO
--------------
-Added data-driven shader system for BGFX renderer [Ryan Holtz]
* Allows an arbitrary number of passes, with arbitrary connections between passes.
* Ships by default with three effects: default, unfiltered, and hlsl
* default: Simple bilinear stretch
* unfiltered: Simple nearest-neighbor stretch
* hlsl: A close reimplementation of the Direct3D HLSL shaders. Does not currently support bloom or vectors.
* Select the "shader chain" you wish to use with -bgfx_screen_chains
* Adjust the settings to your liking with slider controls, saving and loading settings and presets will be added in a future version.
* See bgfx/chains/hlsl.json ans bgfx/hlsl/blit.json for JSON format rules.
* For additional information, see the official MAME documentation.
-Improved Scanline Simulation [ImJezze]
* Changed the amount of scanline darkness, a setting of 1.0 now becomes fully black (to get the same result as before, halve your current setting)
* Scanline height now depends on the brightness of the underlying color
* The amount of the scanline brightness and overdrive now depends on the scanline darkness
* Renamed 'Scanline Screen Height' to 'Scanline Screen Scale' and 'Scanline Indiv. Height' to 'Scanline Height'
- Fixed Bloom Level Alignment
* Fixed target dimensions of bloom levels, which results in much better alignment, especially for games with very low resolutions Therefore, current bloom settings might appear less intense than
before.
- Quality and Performance improvements
* HLSL now uses non-power-of-two-sized target surfaces (breaks compatibility with graphics cards based on R300/R400/NV30 and older)
* HLSL target surfaces now have the size of the screen canvas
* Removed HLSL pre-scale factor
* HLSL now uses a sharp bilinear interpolation to pre-scale textures
to screen canvas size, based on [Themaister]'s implementation
* Improved overall performance. Based on the previously required pre-scale factors, speedups range 5-50% depending on graphics
hardware, more if a higher prescale factor was used.
* Improved shadow mask quality (pixel-perfect) in screen-mode
* Fixed half source texel offset of bloom level alignment
* Removed ./hlsl/artwork_support folder
* All shaders after pre-scale are now based on screen coordinates (workaground until both raster and vector passes can work on texture coordinates)
* Disabled distortion shader for more than one screen and for artworks in full mode, does not affect artworks in cropped mode (workaground until both raster and vector passes can work on texture
coordinates)
-at: Created at motherboard device and split PCI and PS/2 machines into own files [Carl]
-UI [Maurizio Petrarota]
* Enabled user interface navigation through UI_CONFIGURE button (tab key by default).
* Added support for "covers" images collection.
* Added support for "gameinit.dat".
* Improved ROM-less checking at startup.
* Improved vertical orientation rendering.
* Fixed missing mouseover highlight.
* Fixed search in software lists.
* Fixed DATs reload after path changes.
* Fixed software load failure from BIOS submenu.
-Bloom refactoring [ImJezze]
* Calculation of bloom dimensions is now done only once, when render target is created.
* Reduced blur width for non-vector screens.
* Implemented shadow UV option for source tile mode.
-apple2gs.cpp: Dumped the 341-0749 ROM and confirmed the 341-0728 Apple IIGS ROMs. [Brian Troha]
-Type-safe C++ printf analog and vector-backed iostreams [Vas Crabb]
* Supports most C99, glibc, SUS and MSVCRT format specifications

* Moved -unevenstretch option to core renderer.
-unevenstretch: fractional stretching (default)
-nounevenstretch: integer scaling
* Added new options to core renderer:
-unevenstretchx: fractional stretching on horizontal axis, integer scaling on vertical axis
-intscalex: horizontal integer scale factor, default is 0 (auto)
-intscaley: vertical integer scale factor, default is 0 (auto)
-Symbolics 3600: Added more documentation of the FEP PCB from PCB pictures. [Lord Nightmare]
-Symbolics 3600: Fixed ROM mapping, add a few more PLD/PLA/PAL labels. [Lord Nightmare]
-A lot of TTF fonts (including C/J/K fonts like unifont) do not have a type attribute "Regular". This fix will load the first font found if no "bold" "bold italic" "italic" or "regular" attribute was found.
