  - added dynamic max dvi window (pure DVI/<=96kHz/>96kHz)
  - changed input switching algorithms (also added switching between different RGB sources)
  - added no sync timeout (how long not to switch source in case of lost signal)
  - fixed reseting DVI chip after window change (only when window actually has been changed)
  - added 100ms delay before initialization

• 1.0.18 (REV A only)
  
  - added global option "SDTV mode"
  - added global option "Audio source"
  - fixed audio frequency bug (due to hardware limitations audio frequency will be set to 96kHz/16bits by default)
  - adjusted ATARI ST fingerprints to match new devices
  - added support for 12.288MHz quartz generator (fixed 48kHz instead of 96kHz/192kHz - more compatible with HDMI receivers - hardware change is needed to use this mode)
  - extended VBXE profile
  - added more Amiga profiles (NTSC Amiga and incorrect NTSC mode in MIST)
  - fixed algorithm that prevents frequent mode switching

  - adjusted ATARI ST fingerprints to match new devices
  - turn off VGA input when "RGB on" singal is detected on "SCART" input (prioritize SCART over VGA)

  1.0.12
  
  - fixed freeze when the core can't be sent to the FPGA
  - fixed firmware updater handshake with medusa
  
  1.0.11
  
  - fixed fingerprint calculation in the FPGA
  
  1.0.10
  
  - removed using pll filter in RGB A/D - it caused problems with "funny" graphic modes (especially Atari XL)
  - added storing offset/gain in FLASH memory.
  
  1.0.9
  
  - added "unknown PAL" and "unknown NTSC" modes (for using with resoultions of 720x576 and 720x480)
  - added default screen size and screen shift (offset) to all modes
  - added less restrict check for fingerprint when mode has been matched (prevents switching between modes when fingerprint is on the edge)
  - added support for component mode in RGB input
  
  1.0.8
  
  - fixed (again) issue that can lead to total flash erase (fast switch on/off)
  
  1.0.7
  
  - added vsync recover module for line-doubler (sometimes needed for interlace mode)
  - fixed switching to posedge mode on only one or two sync faults on negedge
  
  1.0.6

  - changed default screen from 800x600@60 to 720x576@50 (PAL compatible)
  
  1.0.4
  
  - changed RGB A/D gain control (auto in chip doesn't work, so we need to use manual gain control)
  - added full software zero/gain control for RGB mode
  - added detection of OLED's with SH1106 (instead of SSD1306)
  
  1.0.3
  
  - added Atari Falcon and Atari Jaguar
