 New Ports:
   - ...

 General:
   - ...

 SCUMM:
   - ...

 Broken Sword 2:
   - Major rewrite of how game resources are accessed in memory. This
     should fix alignment issues reported on some platforms.

0.8.1 (????-??-??)
  General:
    - Fixed crash when trying to apply aspect-ratio correction to games that
      cannot use it.
    - Fixed potential security vulnerability with oversized PATH environment
      variables.

  SCUMM:
    - Improved support of some German HE games

  Sword1:
    - Fixed a bug where looping sounds would keep playing during cutscenes or
      when displaying any form of control panel dialog.
    - The save game dialog would erronously claim an I/O error occurred if the
      savegame list had unused slots, and savegames were compressed.
    - Fixed a scrolling bug which caused the finale sequence to be displayed
      incorrectly.

  Sword2:
    - Fixes and cleanups to the end credits. The German credits work now.

0.8.0 (2005-10-30)
 New Games:
   - Added SAGA engine (for the games "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream"
     and "Inherit the Earth").
   - Added Gob engine (for the Goblins series). Currently, only the
     first of the Goblins games is supported.

 New Ports:
   - Added PlayStation 2 port.
   - Added PlayStation Portable (PSP) port.
   - Added AmigaOS 4 port.
   - Added EPOC/SymbianOS port.
   - Added fixes for OS/2 port.

 General:
   - Reworked cursor handling in SDL backend. Now cursors can have
     their own palette and scaling. This is used by Humongous
     Entertainment games now.
   - Added FluidSynth MIDI driver.
   - Added GUI for the "soundfont" setting. (Currently only used by the
     CoreAudio and FluidSynth MIDI drivers.)
   - The MPEG player could hang if the sound ended prematurely.
   - Improved autoscaling GUI, which takes full advantage of your screen.
   - Fixes for GCC 4.

 SCUMM:
   - Added support for Mac Humongous Entertainment titles.
   - Added support for multiple filenames/versions using a single target.
   - Implemented CGA and Hercules render modes in early LEC titles.
   - Added dialogs which are shown when you modify the talkspeed or
     music volume using hotkeys.
   - Added support for NES version of Maniac Mansion.
   - Added thumbnail support for savegames.
   - Broke compatibility with HE savegame (HE v71 and upwards only).
   - Added possibility to disable building of HE and SCUMM v7 & v8 games
     support.
   - Fixed the last few known music glitches in Sam & Max. (There are
     still some - probably - minor missing features though.)
   - Added support for Commodore64 version of Zak McKracken
   - Eliminated all demos targets and platform-specific targets. Config
     file is autoupdated.

 Sword2:
   - Made the resource manager expire resources more intelligently.
   - Improved performance when playing the game from CD instead of hard
     disk.
   - Simplified sound effects handling. Again.
   - Code cleanups and restructuring.
   - Fixed long-standing bug in decompressing sounds from the
     speech/music CLU files. It was generating one sample too many,
     which could be heard as a very slight popping noise at the end of
     some sounds. Files that have been compressed with older versions
     of compress_sword2 will, of course, still have the same error. You
     may want to regenerate them.
