Changelog
Version 0.8 Release - 26 December 2016

Boot Loader:
- Updated to the 2016.11 U-Boot bootloader.
- Patched the bootloader to support bootz.

Kernel:
- Updated to the TI BSP 3.14.79 kernel.
- Patched the TILCDC driver to exclude video modes with a refresh rate under 30Hz.
- Patched to add in PRUSS UIO support.
- Built the kernel modules for the PowerVR OpenGL ES support.

Application:
- Removed the old XML configuration file scheme to use SQLite databases for everything.
- Added in a Node.js web-based configuration interface for uploading ROMs and configuring menu entries and 
  gamepad button mapping.
- Added support for a TFT LCD status display (ILI9340 chipset).
- Added support for native SNES gamepad interfacing using PRU firmware. 
- Reworked the front-end GUI to not consume memory linearly with the number of ROMs loaded on the system.

File System:
- Changed to using a single EXT4 partition, rather than a FAT partition for XML/ROMs as was the case before.
