Releases for Windows operating systems.

What's New:
- Implemented the RND instruction, which initializes the pseudorandom number generator with the current timer value and returns a result if its parameter is zero, returns a new result with the current initialization if the parameter is positive, and initializes the pseudorandom number generator with its parameter if it's negative. (NOTE: for now, the values of the pseudorandom numbers will not coincide with those generated on a physical C65, even though the effect of the instruction as described in the manual is reproduced to the letter, because the standard srand() and rand() functions of C are used, rather than the formula from the original BASIC 10.)
- Extended the default expression evaluator, to support negative numbers or variables as parameters for mathematical functions.
- Added checks in the Let, If, Input and Print functions to prevent the user from using variables called DO, FN, GO, IF, ON, OR, TO (which would be tokenized as commands and prevent the program from working).
- Fixed a bug in the Next function, which used to make it exit loops after a single iteration if a colon was present after the corresponding FOR instruction
- Extended the Dim function so that multiple arrays, separated by commas, can be declared with a single instruction.
- Fixed a bug in the function that transforms expressions into a format MuParser can understand, which used to work incorrectly with negative variables being multiplied, divided or elevated to power.
- Fixed a bug in the keyboard input routine, that used to make the character display sluggish on Windows 10.

What's New:
- New scripting system. In developer mode, scripts are auto-recompiled on startup. Developer options are also available to automatically detect script changes while the application is running. Compiled scripts must be enabled through a new Script Modules feature.
- A new script is included which allows Cybermorph to render polygons/textures at the native resolution.
- An option for adjusting MSAA has been added to the video settings. This is only relevant to things which use the native depth buffer, like the new Cybermorph script.
- A new script is included which allows uncapping the framerate in Alien vs. Predator.
- A new script is included which fixes flickering in the Brett Hull Hockey prototype.
- A simplified CRT library along with a whole bunch of BigPEmu-specific API functionality is included in the scripting system via the Scripts/bigpcrt library.
- Basic native DLL (CDECL) call functionality has been implemented in the scripting API, so that others can take the initiative to start implementing things like RetroAchievements as desired.
- Added native mouse input support. (must be enabled in the input settings) Mouse movement and buttons can be bound to analog, rotary, and digital inputs interchangeably.
- Some more work on debugger-enabled builds has been done behind the scenes, but this shouldn't affect anything user-facing just yet.
- Even more terrible secrets have been added.
- Made sure native rendering works even with a Screen Effect active. However, this isn't generally a recommended combination, as the effect will be sourcing from a native-resolution buffer instead of a Jaguar-resolution buffer. (post-Patreon build addition)
- Added a -conout command line option. Under Windows, this spawns a console and directs log output here instead of to a file. (post-Patreon build addition)
- The breadth of functionality encompassed by the scripting system is too vast to cover here, so I've made a video to highlight some of the features and explain how the existing scripts work: https://youtu.be/y4gXxSmLOg4
- Please help me out with support on social media and Patreon! Things have continued to be rough on the health front lately, and I've found it's getting harder to use Twitter to reach my actual target audience, so I'm depending more on organic word of mouth to spread project news and hopefully bring in support.

What's New:
Google Translate:
- Emulate C Bug - an option to emulate the bug of the C feature flag. The description was somewhere, when I find it, I will describe it in the documentation. Enabled by default.
- Emulate 177702 behavior - an option to emulate the correct behavior of register 177702. This is when you write something into it, and it disappears from the bus. Enabled by default. It is recommended to turn it off in order to programmatically detect the emulator / real hardware. If disabled, then when writing to the register, it does not disappear from the bus, but the number 177777 is always read from it.
- Emulate CPU 1801VM1G - the option enables the features of the K1801VM1G processor: the MUL hardware command and the BE timer interrupt. Disabled by default.
- Emulate EIS Instructions Set - this option enables hardware execution of MUL, DIV, ASH, ASHC instructions. Disabled by default.
- Emulate FIS Instructions Set - this option enables hardware execution of FADD, FSUB, FMUL, FDIV instructions. Disabled by default.

What's New:
Google Translate:
- Fixing a bug that KUVO found - debug glitches on odd PC.
- Added option to set different kind of screenshot file name format.
- At the request of Gryphona, we extend the option "CPU stop after starting the emulator" to load the state.
- Now, if you enable this option and save the state with it, then it will put the emulator into a debug break when loading, and you will need to start it manually.
- Simulated the behavior of register 177702, now if something is written to it, it disappears until an EMT command or a reboot is performed.
- fiddling with the user interface:
* Added some icons;
* Added a button to the toolbar to interrupt on vector 100 or 270;
* Split too large "Configuration" menu into two: "Configuration" and "Management";
* In the "About" window, plain text has been replaced with html for beauty.
- Updated MSF documentation to the latest version.
