• VESA driver
• fixed page fault in VBox VGA driver and QEMU std vga driver
• small stability improvements
• fixed corrupted driver*.inf in some cases

Bug fix release

• VMware: VRAM test (VMware bug)
• QEMU: vmware adapter compatibility fixes
• SVGA: keep line align when autoresize/in custom modes
• HAL: don't call memory helpers from ddraw.dll
• HAL: better surface tracking

New feature release

• DirectX native driver
• no DLL replacement
• HAL: DDI 8
• (Wine fully optional)
• SVGA: stable memory allocation
• MESA: revert to Mesa 23.1.9 as most stable
• Wine: DLLs are now hot patched (allow to use Wine without ddraw/d3d8/d3d9.dll replace)

Note: althought this preview of beta line, it should be more stable than previous release, when works. Fixes lots of DX6 and DX7 bugs, but also creates brand new problems.

Stability release

• ! stability fixes
• ! double buffering support (or emulation)
• ! Hires <-> VGA mode switching correctly
• Gamma support (disabled by default)
• Driver: HW cursor in 8/16/32 bpp (VMware,VirtualBox has this bug)
