Version 0.3.1 released

Release 0.3.1 is out — a bugfix update on top of 0.3.0.

What's fixed?

1. Random crashes during play — audio streaming (AUDX) no longer performs GEMDOS calls from the VBL interrupt. That was a common cause of sudden crashes under 0.3.0, especially on real hardware.
2. Radar — crash when changing map zoom; wrong radar colors.
3. 4MB reliability — several allocation and cache-ordering issues that could break stock 4MB setups.
4. Map select background — green background color on the map selection screen is gone.
5. Exit cleanup — Falcon video mode and sound setup are restored more cleanly on quit; TT gets DMA sound where appropriate.

Performance

Software blitting is faster on machines without (or not using) the Blitter — useful on plain ST and other software-path setups.

How to play?

Download the new release zip and re-run the web-based remix tool — asset data has changed since 0.3.0. Extract the result onto your (emulated or real) Atari ST hard drive and run CNC.TOS.

Don't hesitate to report any problems. Command & Conquer for Atari ST is a work in progress.

Have fun!
