Furnace: vanhemmat versiot ja versiohistoria

another release to address a couple bugs present in previous versions, including two or three critical issues (crashes).
fixes
- fix severe crash when using OPL4
- fix possible crash when importing an XM file
- fix crash when importing a config file
- fix ESFM output being inverted
- fix Y channel selector in X/Y osc (thanks Eknous)
- set default SDL audio driver on Windows Vista to winmm in order to get audio working again
- fix duty effect not working without note on VRC6
- fix VIC-20 on/off macro or note off not being taken into account when playing from position
changes/additions
- improve chip mixing for certain presets (SCC, PC-88 and PC-98) - thanks Iyatemu!
- YM2612 chip is now YM2612 by default (it was YM3438 before)
- Windows 2000 support
- add winners from the Blank Contest to Demo Songs
- add speed drift compensation options to VGM export
- this is added in order to compensate for a slight, yet noticeable difference in playback speed when using DeadFish's Genesis VGM player
note for Windows XP/Legacy Systems users
the Windows XP version of Furnace is working once again. I've had an issue with the compiler, which has been temporarily sorted out by downgrading the C runtime package.
as a bonus, Furnace now supports Windows 2000!!! you'll need DirectX 9 installed though.
note for Windows Vista users
this release should work properly on Vista now. it wasn't launching due to dependency on a 7-exclusive function (̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶a̶f̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶f̶i̶x̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶s̶o̶u̶n̶d̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶o̶x̶ ̶d̶u̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶i̶n̶c̶o̶m̶p̶l̶e̶t̶e̶ ̶W̶A̶S̶A̶P̶I̶ ̶i̶m̶p̶l̶e̶m̶e̶n̶t̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶)̶.
a user has reported that sound still does not work as it should. if it does not, try changing the audio backend to PortAudio in Settings > Audio.

it's been a while since 0.6.7...
this is (hopefully) the final release in the 0.6 series. 0.7 development will begin very soon.
change log
- add Watara Supervision system
- a rather obscure console from Taiwan with two pulse channels, a noise and primitive sample channel
- add SID3 fantasy chip
- inspired by SID, this chip has 6 channels of analog-synth-like goodness, a boatload of macros and even one wave channel
- add OPL4 system
- OPL3 with 24 sample channels taken from the to-be-implemented MultiPCM
- fix 5E01 not producing sound at all
- SNES anti-click
- note that this does not eliminate clicks in samples with incompatible loop regions! it only applies to note playback.
- POKEY SAP type R export (playable by Altirra and lzss-sap on hardware)
- FamiTracker import improvements
- create instrument copies to represent what FamiTracker does (in particular, on VRC6 channels when using 2A03 instruments)
- fix Hxy effect for S5B (AY)
- fix virtual tempo going outside range
- fix VRC7 patch switch effect (Dn-FamiTracker) not being imported correctly
- find/replace improvements
- make the note selector a bit more comfortable
- search in selection now works on selected channels only (previously it would search on all channels... issue #2393)
- fix a possible crash (issue #2328)
- cut/delay policy is now lax
- set macro release mode to Active (issue #2376)
- C64 4-bit PCM/digi (using volume control)
- performance optimizations for certain chips
- up to 10 times less CPU usage during playback and faster audio exports
- optimized chips include: PC Speaker, GA20, Amiga, PC Engine, SCC, NES, MMC5, VRC6, TIA, Virtual Boy, AY (not so much), Nintendo DS, T6W28, SN, SM8521, Bubble System WSG and K007232
- new WonderSwan emulation core courtesy of asiekierka (#2401)
- Virtual Boy changes
- one notorious Virtual Boy quirk is that you cannot write to wave/modulation table memory unless all channels are disabled
- Furnace wasn't taking this quirk into account, which means that exported VGMs wouldn't play on hardware
- this release makes exported VGMs work on hardware by disabling all channels on wave change
- however, this means there will be a "click" on every wave change, which can get very annoying
- it is recommended you use static mode, or change waves sparingly...
- there's a setting to go back to the old behavior, but keep in mind this will break VGM export and is not hardware-accurate!
- TFM import improvements
- implement looping
- XM import improvements
- new envelope conversion algorithm
- add ability to set multiple key binds for actions
- FM 30xx (hard reset envelope) now working on VGM export
- OPZ improvements (per-op frequency control including arp/pitch macros)
- support for MSX2 .dmf (no, I am not going to support its weird AY manners. sorry!)
- add ability to create a sample from a wavetable
- per-op fixed octave/block setting in OPN, OPL and ESFM (useful for SSG-EG)
- CSM on all OPN chips
- Combat Vehicle improvements
- small stages, modifiers, special powerups and planes
- fix a possible crash on macOS when the font texture is too large
- fix two possible hangs in MIDI code when audio output isn't working
- fix crash when selecting all after expanding/collapsing/change-effect-counting channel
- OPN: fix possible crash when using FM effects on non-FM channels (issue #2286)
- fix some file loading exploits
- negative sample length (issue #2316)
- samples too long in .dmf
- invalid pitches in .dmf
- command palette improvements
- show shortcuts (for actions)
- color the search characters
- use non-greedy search to find optimal fuzzy match order
- fix the "Rendering..." window being too small at times
- add cursor undo/redo actions
- add the ability to set a channel visibility mask for user presets
- use chanMask in the Advanced parameter. for example: chanMask=0,2 will hide the first and third channel.
- fix certain things not marking song as modified
- fix preset patches not having DC, DM and KSL set correctly in the editor
-

this release fixes a major bug introduced in 0.6.6. NES DPCM sample loop wasn't working properly.it also fixes 60xy in FM chips not working if x is between 1 to 4 (set op mask for one op).
