Those guys are fast. * BG: Improved performance of parallax BGs.
* Stages: Added a hack to recognize the "hires = 1" stage parameter. This parameter isn't officially supported so we strongly recommend against using it for new content.
Bug Fixes
* BG: Fixed bug where tiled parallax BGs did not draw.
* BG: Fixed scaled trans sub BGs.
* CNS: Fixed trigger redirection coordspace bug.
* CNS: Fixed screenpos x trigger.
* CNS: Fixed helper not inheriting palno from parent.
* CNS: Corrected bug in ** operator for integer arguments with exponent >= 0.
* CNS: Integer exponentiation, Floor(), and Ceil() now generate a warning and clamp to INT_MAX or INT_MIN (2^31-1 or -2^31) when the integer range is exceeded.
* FNT: Fixed font newline bug for True Type fonts with text wrapping.
* Motifs: Fixed invalid font in combo counter crash.
* mugen.cfg: Added DirectX option to RenderMode. Setting this mode may help some people with startup issues.
* SND: Fixed snd loading failure using wavs with certain headers.
* Stages: Fixed random stage load error during continue.
* Added hardcoded pal change for SFFv1 sprites. This addresses the palette problem for old characters that override state 5900.

* Fixed AI.RandomColor = 0 crash.
* Resolved SDL crash on non-SSE2 processors.
We're really sorry if we didn't get to some of the bugs you were hoping would be fixed, but we're grinding away on the list (though not as fast as it's growing!) and hope to resolve some of the more sticky problems like keyboard input in the next RC. Thanks for your patience.
Also, in case some of you are wondering, our goal for 1.0 is to stabilize the release and get it working correctly with as much backwards compatibility as possible. Rest assured we're still looking at your feature requests to see what we can take on for 1.1 once 1.0 is stable.
