CHANGELOG

0.1

	- make gamelist file (-list output) configurable (fourth commandline parameter - optional)

0.21
	- the ftr commandline parameter was ignored

	- added file for stdout logging

0.24

0.40
	- changed snapshot comparison from simple filesize fix to IDAT size and CRC check
	- UNIX compilation fixes (thx .stl)

	- removed "tank8a", "tank8b" and "orbit" from the ignored games list, because they don't cause a freeze in 0.101u5 anymore
