  • fixed complement Draw() in TrueColor (crawling ants bug)
  • fixed missing WaitBlit() in WriteChunkyPixels(), WritePixelArray8() and WritePixelLine8() subroutine
  • included optimized 24 bit CPU routines for BltTemplate() and BltPattern() by Niels Knoop (thanks a lot!)
  • fixed handling of the "ENV:Picasso96/PlanarOnlyDIPFDBUF" environment variable (cut'n'paste error, could therefore not work... :-)))
  • changed WritePixel() to gain a small speedup (thanks to Didier Levet for the suggestions)
• PicassoIV:
  • PIP can now scale down vertically to some degree by skipping lines
  • added some synchronisation in PIP setup to prevent board from running amok with PalomaTV sometimes
• CVision3D:
  • rearranged init function to behave better on ZorroIII systems
  • fixed scan doubler init and switch setting
  • BltPattern() no longer produces wrong patterns
  • fixed a stack problem when blitting in 32bit modes
  • doublescan modes are no fully visible
  • leftmost column of pixels is now visible again in 8bit modes
  • fixed memory clock setup which defaulted to ~6 MHz due to a bug
  • doubleclocked 8bit modes were accidently disabled (wrong refresh rates)
  • scan doubler access logic should now be correct (finally)
  • fixed interlace problems if vertical parameters had odd values
• RetinaBLT:
  • fixed mode setting bug that prevented modes with vtotals greater than 1024 from working at all
