  This page has a change log up to version 1.00, which will need updated
  for 1.50.

 Indeed - I'll try knocking up a changelog summarising everything that's
 happened.

Now done. Anyone spot anything I've missed?

Also for whoever volunteers to update the other bits of the manual (known 
issues, usage on RISC OS, etc.), there's a fair amount of information that 
can be taken from the RISC OS !Help file.

Cheers,

Didn't you change it so it operated in 32-bit mode as well as the old
palette-mapped style?

I have some new tooltypes.

| (USEUPDATEFLAGS)
| (FRAMESKIP=0)
| AUTOUPDATEFLAGS

Those are to do with the video mode changes. Not sure exactly what
they do so you may have mentioned them in the changelog already - I
believe they are only compile time options on other platforms.

And some other Amiga-specifics, but as this is the first proper 
release version for AmigaOS, they wouldn't be relevant for the
changelog.

Those changes are at least partially covered by some of the existing 
changelog entries (video emulation rewrite  RISC OS version no longer 
requiring host to support Arc screen modes). Maybe the changelog should be 
split up further, so each port/platform has its own list of changes? E.g. 
I've just remembered that Ian made a few changes to the X11 version to 
allow it to run on X servers that don't support XWarpPointer.

 I have some new tooltypes.

Those are performance tweaks, so fall under the rather general Many 
performance tweaks and optimisations entry. The RISC OS !Help file has 
fairly decent descriptions of what they do, and can be changed at runtime 
via the RISC OS versions rather crude tweak menu.
