There is a ChangeLog on the page. I'll update the text to reflect that it is since VICE 1.22.
The main bulk of changes are the actual C64DTV support.
The PAL patch is unfortunately not included. I think the reason was that lower bit depths were not fully supported leading to problems on some platforms.
We like the patch, and hope that it can be included in the following snapshots.
The main focus for the release over the snapshots have been portability and building issues in general. Hopefully this will be much easier for the next release.

shouldn't be a problem, it will just behave like before in the resolutions/bitdepths that aren't patched. |

That sounds ok to me. I guess we'll drop that into the snapshots ASAP. :) |

What was the reason the C64DTV isn't included in the regular Vice build again? |

VICE team officially stated they won't add support for "emulator of emulator" or some other crappy explaination. They are okay with unofficial releases though.

Quoting Raf They are okay with unofficial releases though.
They don't get a choice in the matter. Vice is released under the GPL which means you can release whatever fork you want of the vice code, providing you do all that change notice or inclusion of original files business.
Further more, since the VICE name isn't a registered trademark, you can name your release pretty much anything, like say, "VICEthatIsntHeldBackByPuristWankage".
Vice is a wonderful emulator that is, without a doubt, the most accurate emulator of any system we have, it's something truly magnificent. It's just a shame that the Vice team refuse almost all patches sent to them (usually citing something about only emulating a real C64 or such).
Maybe if enough good patches are included in Vice+ they might pull their heads out of their arses a bit on this one. |
