3.6.2

Things we want to do for the 3.6.2 release:

• The VICE version and release date is not automatically updated everywhere yet
  • The top line of README
  • In the second paragraph of the README ("This is version 3.6 of VICE")

• The github "snapshot" action should also build a release tarball so we can see if that actually works, and it needs to check if a gtk3ui configure generated tarball can compile sdl2 and vice versa
• It would also be nice if the github action builds proper debian/ubuntu packages
• cpu history should be enabled by default, optionally disabled (fixed in trunk)
• Make sure the released binaries (Windows and macOS) use the same configuration

• SDL1/2 joystick mapping improvements
  • Add 'clear all mappings' to the joystick mapping menus (it's annoying to have to unmap one by one)
  • Make the 'extra joystick options' menu show what they are already mapped to
  • Add menu joystick actions mapping support to the 'extra joystick options' menu

• remove support for jpeg screenshots (and the dependency on libjpeg(turbo))

• fix C128 cartridge system

• GTK and SDL: it is not possible to reset hotkeys to default (via UI)
  • -default on cmdline should skip loading the custom hotkey file
  • "reset settings to defaults" should also reset the hotkeys to defaults

• VSID improvements:
  • Playlist fixes:
    • Allow removing items from the playlist.
    • Allow loading and saving of playlists.
    • Skip to the next SID in the playlist after all tunes in the SID have played.
  • Hotkeys support, also for the controls and selecting items in the playlist.

• Try to fix keymaps on Windows with Gtk using gdk_event_get_scancode.

On Windows we can't get, for example, GDK_KEY_KP_Home, we always get GDK_KEY_Home. Using certain bits in the scancode, we might be able to translate the keypad Home to its expected value (GDK_KEY_KP_Home, as we use it on Unix). If we could at least get the keypad fixed, we'd improve our keymaps a lot. See this post for more information.

• GTK: a mechanism must be made that makes it possible to "call" any "menu action" (actions that can be assigned to hotkeys)
  • when that is done, joystick buttons can be mapped to menu actions
  • an UI is needed for all that
