- Updated emulation code from WinUAE 3.1.0
- Support for PPC emulation (can run AmigaOS 4.x) via QEMU-UAE plugin
- More emulated hardware support (Toccata, A2061, Picasso IV, …)
- Better support for modern OS versions due to using SDL 2.0
- Built-in support for multiple displays, and fixes for HiDPI displays
- The Launcher supports modern OS versions better due to using QT 5.x
- Much improved FS-UAE Launcher user interface
- FS-UAE mouse integration (Workbench cursor follows host cursor)
- Updated internal kickstart replacement from AROS
- Dual joystick/mouse mode for joystick port 0
- Official builds for SteamOS (Linux + Steam runtime)
- OS X apps are now digitally signed (Apple Developer ID)
- Support for JIT direct memory access (much faster JIT)
- More gamepads are recognized out of the box
- Many bug fixes
Version 2.7.0 of FS-UAE was also released and is the development branch. This beta version offers the following changes:
- Merged JIT compiler updates from the ARAnyM project
- Support for JIT compilation on x86-64 (Linux/Windows/OS X). It may contain bugs yet. FPU JIT is currently disabled by default for x86-64
- JIT 64-bit direct memory exception handlers for Linux/Windows/OS X
- Compile FS-UAE / Windows as large address aware for more virtual memory
- Updated emulation core from WinUAE 3200b12

Amiga 1200: Repair part sets turned up
Parallel to the Kickstarter project for a new A1200-case, Petro Tyschtschenko has procured original repair part sets for the Amiga 1200 and offers them under the title link.
On Facebook he wrote in a non-public section in German: Thank you for the first orders at shop.boingbox.de. Actually they are new and original repair sets from 1997, which have become deposited by an Amiga user for 18 years. Choice articles which have not gone yellow or scratched. Partly the A1200-keyboards are packaged in plastic. UK and German version. To provide some support to the community, I agreed to manage the complete order processing.
