Stella release 2.7 (Atari 2600 Emulator) for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows is now available. Ports to other operating systems will be released as they become available.
What's new:
Totally reworked the built-in UI to be font-sensitive and use higher-resolution fonts. Stella now requires a minimum screen size of 640x480. If used in a resolution smaller than that, the fonts will be reduced accordingly. Related to this, switching between software and OpenGL rendering now requires an application restart.
Added three different sized fonts (small, medium, large) which can be used in the ROM launcher.
Added ability to temporarily override ROM properties from the UI. This is tied to a right mouse button context menu in the ROM launcher, and is very useful when you want to use a set of properties for all subsequent ROMs without having to manually change each one.
Added ability to filter the files shown in the ROM launcher. Currently, the choices are 'all files', 'all roms', or 'roms ending with a certain extension'. This functionality is tied to a right mouse button context menu in the ROM launcher. Extensions can also be set with the '-launcherexts' commandline argument.
Added ability to reload the listing in the ROM launcher, either from a right mouse button context menu or pressing the Control/Cmd-R key.
Made the ROM info viewer in the ROM launcher configurable to show snapshots in 1x or 2x mode.

What's new:
* Closing the window of the emulator doesn't trigger a segfault anymore
(well the segfault was quiting too, but in windows this was producing a
ugly error message, so it's better now !)
* Fixed a stupid bug in the "next" console command
* The video options dialog shows only the options for yuv overlay when in
autodetect mode since overlays are the default, you must now choose
explicitely "force normal blits" to see the scalers/scanlines options.
* Double buffer is forced even when using yuv overlays in fullscreen mode in
windows. Normaly video synchronization should be handled by overlays but
since it's very messy to configure, it's probably better to force it here.
If your overlays correctly handle video sync, then you can disable double
buffer in the video options to trust your overlays.
* Fixed a tremendous bug in hq3x/32bpp and hq2x/32bpp, the left part of the
game bitmap was cut.
