VICEminus v2.3.11

VICEminus v2.3.11 is released. VICEminus is a cut down fork of VICE, with a few additional features and fixes. VICEminus is a Commodore 8-bit emulator suite. It is a fork of VICE. The (most notable) differences are: x128, xcbm2, xpet, xplus4 and petcat are removed. OS/arch specific UIs are removed, OS code is split from UI code and only cross platform UIs are left. This allows building multiple UIs without reconfiguring; the executables have an "_$UI" suffix. At the moment only SDL UI is available, and some of the previously supported (by SDL UI) OS/archs (f.ex Amiga and OSX) are not supported yet. Translations have been removed. If you can read this, it shouldn't be a problem; at least not as big as having unmaintained translations (see this for an example). vsid has been split from x64 to its own executable (and code). In the process, the vsid VIC-II emulation was simplified by a lot and some improvements from wsid were merged. Keymap handling has been simplified; the symbolic/positional (and sometimes even "German symbolic") distinction is removed, and there is only a single keymap per machine. SFX Sound Expander support has been removed due to possible license issues. Added Alien Flash emulation. Added shift lock emulation.

VICEminus v2.3.11 Changelog:
