===========================

  Bugfixes:

    - Bezel reflection not blurred on some hardware (some GPUs do not support the reuse of render targets or array fetching within a for loop - fixed)
    - When saving BMP image files, the red and blue color components were swapped (fixed)
    - Reset disables multi-SID (fixed)
    - Gameplay replaying does not handle multi-SID settings correctly (fixed)
    - SID read-only registers (POTX/POTY/OSC3/ENV3) were not saved in the state files nor in the gameplay recording files (fixed)

  Improvements:

    - Emulation and rendering are now running in separate threads, which should help eliminate lag on slower PCs
    - Rewritten sound synchronization to eliminate pops and clicks, audio latency has also been reduced (can be fine-tuned in the config file)
    - More stable scope and spectrum analyzer

  New features:

    - 64-bit compile in separate executable, which may or may not be faster on your computer
    - Experimental NTSC VIC-II model (unfortunately I don't have any NTSC C64, so I could only rely on the VICE test programs, so not everything works properly yet, but in general it's somewhat functional)
    - In SID player mode, NTSC tunes will automatically switch to NTSC VIC-II model
    - Gameplay recordings can be rendered as image sequences with audio in a separate WAV file, for creating video files with external programs (sound output is muted during rendering)
    - SID video rendering function in SID player mode even with visualizers as image sequence + WAV (automatically records the music from the beginning and stops at the end if the HVSC songlength database is available)
    - New visualizer mode that shows only the oscillators, without the mixed output.
    - Game controller support (beta with very primitive functionality and not yet mappable, I will improve it soon)
    - 1351 mouse emulation with mouse, touchpad or analog game controller (mouse grab is only activated in fullscreen mode)

  Minor changes:

    - If there is no config file, the default SID model for the newly created one will be 8580R5, with surround effect disabled
    - The system menu structure has slightly changed due to the new features
