First the important stuff:

- New: Better error handling
- New: Invalid lines in NL files are now shown to the user instead of being silently ignored. This gives the user the opportunity to fix erroneous lines.
- New: Good news for other developers, all C files added by me are now fully documented.
- Change: Array indices in disassembly windows are now hexadecimal values.
- Bugfix: Fixed a bug that occured when loading the bookmark description of hex bookmarks from disk
- Bugfix: Fixed a bug that occured when using arrays and long comments in symbolic debugging
- Bugfix: Fixed a bug that occured when reading NL files

Now my comment about this release:
This release was mainly a release that's supposed to be the basis for future bugfixing releases. Most of the new stuff I added is of no concern to actual users of the emu. In this release the code was cleaned up and error handling was significantly improved. That means I should be able to find bugs way quicker from now on. At least in theory. Let's hope I'm right here.

I also have a real build script now! Well, OK, it's just a BAT file but that means I probably won't forget to include the readme.txt file in future releases.

Anyway, I'd also appreciate if people would send me their NL files. I only have my own ones from Faxanadu and they might not be sufficient for testing. My mail address is webmaster@ät@the-interweb.com. Thanks.

OK, here are the files:
FCEUXD SP 1.04 Executable file
FCEUXD SP 1.04 Source files

this is really amazing, I'm hoping to see some CDL and NL collection sites showing up soon. I'm making one for little samson right now.

one suggestion: you should include the old fceuxd.txt in the zip file, or combine it with your current readme. with the fceuxd site down, I don't think it's available anywhere else

Yep, that's a good idea. I'll try to do that from now on.

another suggestion: freeze/unfreeze a range of addresses, and unfreeze all. the latter would be great in case you forgot to unfreeze one and don't want to hunt it down.

also, maybe a list of currently frozen addresses?

You don't need to report the following bugs anymore:

- NL files for the bank at 0x8000 don't work anymore.
- Empty comments don't work properly

They've been fixed. FCEUXD SP 1.05 will be released soon.

Good idea. I'll add something like that.

I've noticed a bug where sometimes one or more of the breakpoints on the list are reset to "$0000 -C--- -", like the data is just getting blanked out. I think it happens sometimes when adding another breakpoint, but I haven't pinpointed it.
