Amiberry v5.7.0

Amiberry v5.7.0 is released. Amiberry is an optimized Amiga emulator for ARM-based SoCs (such as the Raspberry Pi, Odroid XU4, ASUS Tinkerboard, etc.), that brings you the highest performance Amiga emulation. It’s an open-source project, build with the efforts of several people and based on previous work of others.

Amiberry v5.7.0 Changelog:
🎉 New Features
Added new custom events for Disk Swapper. Two new events were added, Insert Next / Previous disk swapper slot. These allow you to select the next/previous slot and also insert it into DF0: in one step.
Added default path for LHA archives (fixes #1234). This allows you to set a default path that will be used to load WHDLoad .lha files, for use with the WHDBooter.
added default Floppy, CD-ROM and Hard Drive paths
Added option to use "System Default" audio device (fixes #1241). This new checkbox in the GUI (Sound panel) will not choose a specific audio device, and instead tell SDL2 to pick the system default one. This helps with systems that may have sound devices that are not listed in the dropdown.
Added new WHDLoad panel in GUI. This panel exposes the options that the WHDBooter uses, and allows changes to the slave options before launching a title. The Custom Fields can also be customized from this area. All information is parsed from the same XML that Amiberry uses to match the WHDLoad titles.
Added new "Save Mapping" button in Custom Controls. This allows you to save the current mapping for the selected controller as the default, which will be automatically loaded on startup (if the controller is connected).
Detect WHDLoad, CD and floppy disk images as parameters in the command line. As a fall back, you can now pass the path to a supported image filename, and it will be loaded automatically. This makes it possible to set Amiberry as the default handler for such files (e.g. .lha, .adf, .adz, .ipf, .cue, .iso, etc.). WHDLoad and CD images trigger the autoloader, while floppy disk images will be loaded into DF0:
If a config file that matches the inserted disk image exists, it will be loaded
automatically. Otherwise the default one will be used instead. This also makes it easy
to save a config after you've loaded a disk image, since the panel will be populated
with the right name already.
Added support for custom font colors in the GUI theme
🐛 Bugfixes
catch GUI exceptions properly. Previously if a GUI exception occurred, it would trigger a crash to the console. Now it will catch the exception, log the error and also output the result in the console.
Data path wasn't parsed in WHDBooter (fixes #958). The "datapath" property wasn't parsed during the startup-sequence creation, when using the WHDBooter feature.
The aspect ration option was not respected during Auto-Crop (fixes #1235)
ensure the joystick name is handled gracefully if it's null or invalid (fixes #1246)
ensure ".." is always present in file/folder dialogs, after refactoring
return an empty string in case the file/folder dialog was cancelled
file/folder dialogs would briefly show a scrollbar on startup, then hide it
Fixed Dispmanx targets failing to compile after recent changes
Fixed the Enter key would no longer trigger a KEYDOWN event in the GUI (fixes #1249). This was a bug since 5.6.7, introduced with some updates in the guisan library. The ENTER key is also faked when pushing the controller buttons A/B, so this effectively disabled selecting anything in the GUI with a controller.
Fixed a memory leak when closing a filesys unit
Fixed various bugs in the Dispmanx implementation (RetroPie)
ensure the savestate filename is never empty
don't crash if no kickstarts are found on startup. This was triggered after the
recent refactoring of the Scan ROMs function.
Using Dispmanx with Auto-Height and with the "Keep aspect ratio" option disabled,
would result in a black screen.
ensure that controller axes that report no name, get a default one anyway. This caused a crash with the Steam controller, which reports 8 axes but only 6 of them get a name, through SDL2. This way, they will get a default name of "Axis #" + number.
Fixed parallel port joysticks D-Pad input was incorrectly mapped to ports 0/1. This has been around for several versions, but it's finally fixed now.
Fixed navigation in Floppy panel
Floppy dropdown panels would show recently loaded configs also
GUI theme colors were not applied to all widgets
if you selected a WHDLoad file from the GUI, and it had a config file previously saved, it wouldn't apply it
If Cancel was used in a file/folder dialog, the path would be emptied on return
increase width of text fields in HWInfo panel (fixes #1269)
Listbox selection color was hardcoded when inactive (fixes #1270)
initialize custom field value to zero, otherwise we would get random numbers if it's not defined
Virtual Keyboard did not respect Auto-Crop (fixes #1273)
"Start in Quickstart" checkbox would not change status (fixes #1274)
magic mouse without virtual mouse driver would not release pointer (fixes #1278)
some Display option changes would not apply after exiting GUI (e.g. Smooth/Pixelated)
All A600 quickstart configs would always incorrectly add Fast RAM (fix #1282)
only create default HDD device name if we don't have one already (fixes #1284)
dmx needs wait_for_display_thread() in more places
🔨 Improvements
Improve sizes of Select File/Folder dialogs. The dialog sizes are now larger, and hold more entries.
added retroarch config file path in the log
do not temporarily unhide the cursor and hide it again when capturing mouse
Improved SaveState and Screenshot file handling
If Dispmanx or KMSDRM is detected, force Full-Window mode. These back-ends only supported full-window mode anyway, so this way it's clear in the prefs and GUI as well, that this is what you're using.
Don't change the width/height values of the Amiga screen in the GUI, based on the amigawin_rect values.
Don't always try to open "default.uae" on startup, if the file doesn't exist
Show the selected Floppy Disk in the GUI, when started from command line.
populate GUI with WHDLoad command line options
When loading a config, scroll list enough to make it visible.
Added scroll area in HW Info panel
improved look of disabled buttons, dropdowns and checkboxes in GUI
show video driver info in About panel
added configurable GUI selection color, for dropdowns
added mt32-roms directory as a placeholder (fixes #1271)

use CD32 with 8MB Fast config, when using cd-autoload
