QMC2 0.61 released

QMC2 0.61 has been released! It’s in sync with MAME 0.171 which was released earlier today.

Besides the usual updates due to MAME’s latest changes and some smaller general improvements we’ve been able to speed up the start-up performance once again. Enjoy!

The source code is now available in the download section. As always, expect updated binary packages within the next few hours and days.

Have fun,

The QMC2 dev-team

Full change-log for 0.61:

• imp: greatly improved machine list loading by doing the actual item insertion more intelligently
• imp: hide the machine list / show the loading animation before triggering the actual start-up
• imp: removed make option CTIME
• imp: updated category.ini contributed by ASH to MAME 0.171
• imp: emulator configuration templates updated to MAME 0.171 (added ‘bgfx’ as additional choice for option ‘video’ / removed ‘ddraw’ choice from Windows template, added the new core options ‘exit_after_playback’, ‘record_timecode’, ‘pluginspath’, ‘languagepath’ and ‘language’)

BTW, the translations are now embedded in the QMC2 binary. That is, the directory "data/lng/" in the installation folder is no longer required (actually already since 0.60). It's thus no longer included in the packages that I create, can be removed for updated installations, and should be removed from packages made by others!
