Hi,

We've released 0.61 today.

This release adds paging support and Gus emulation.
For the somewhat older games hercules support has been added.
Dosbox has now support for opengl output and hardware scaling.
This makes look 320x200 games look very nice on 1280x1024

Offcourse many bugs have been fixed (and new ones introduced ;)
