 Changelog
 ---------
 
+r13 (2012-01-09)
+* yet more fixes for regressions from earlier versions
+* various fixes for NEON GPU (in collaboration with Exophase)
++ NEON GPU supports interlace mode now, but it's not always
+  enabled due to frameskip glithes (can be changed in the menu)
+* cdda should resume on savestate load now
+* fixed date display in menus to honour locale
++ pandora: added support for minimizing the emulator (while ingame only)
+
+r12 (2011-12-24)
++ new ARM NEON GPU rasterizer from Exophase (NEON hardware required)
++ new GPU emulation code
++ new analog controller configurator
+* changed frameskip handling (again..), higher values supported
+* fixed several more regressions from earlier versions
+* changed cdrom code with hope for better compatibility
+* sprite optimization for PCSX4ALL plugin
++ Caanoo: added vibration support
