Changelog
Version 0.6 Release - 03 July 2014

General:
- Updated the documentation.

Application:
- Added GPIO input support (BBB targets).
- Added a splash screen to keep the user distracted while a background thread loads the GUI assets.
- Added support for the pause menu with snapshot load/save.
- Added gamepad and GPIO configuration support to the XML-based games.xml file.
- Cleaned up the emulator shutdown code so that a game can be cleanly exited and control will return to the front-end GUI.
- Changed from sync()-ing the filesystem to fsync()-ing specific files when saving snapshots, screenshots, saved games, etc.
- Fixed hi-res blitters that were smashing the stack on some games (Donkey Kong Country, Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3).
- Added a shrinking blitter to make the hi-res blitters work with a 320x240 display.
- Reenabled support for loading compressed ROMs (.zip, .gz).
- Added Expat libraries into the configure script.
- Cleaned up the XML parser a bit more to eliminate closing tag errors where there weren’t actually errors.
- Added more aggressive optimization flags to the compile options to squeeze out a few more FPS.

File System:
- Added entries for eth1 to /etc/network/interfaces for users having difficulty getting the BBB ethernet to initialize and pick up an IP via DHCP.
- Placed a device tree overlay for the CircuitCo Audio Cape (RevB) (BB-BONE-AUDI-02) in /lib/firmware in case anyone wants to try using it with the BBB.
