Sweet16 1.7.1 released

[Eric Shepherd <sheppy@syndicomm.com>]

I've just released Sweet16 1.7.1, the latest version of the Apple IIgs 
emulator for Mac OS X.  The new feature includes a couple of modest new 
features and fixes a slough of bugs.

You can get additional information or download the software at 
<http://www.sheppyware.net/software-mac/sweet16/index.html>.  Sweet16 
is freeware.

Here's a list of everything that's changed:

1. Holding down the option key while mounting 800K disk images now 
mounts them as CleverPort devices instead of as IWM floppy disks; this 
lets you mount lots of 3.5" disk images at once, which makes installing 
the system software, for example, incredibly easy.

2. Updated the URL in the documentation that's presented for where to 
go to download system disks.

3. Aliases to files now resolve correctly, so you can drop aliases to 
your disk images into the Disk Images folder, instead of moving the 
images themselves.

4. The Reset command in the Setup menu now works correctly.

5. Optimized more PowerPC code, resulting in a small additional 
performance boost over version 1.7.

6. Fixed a bug that prevented Recent Disks from mounting.

7. Items in the Eject submenu now display the name of the disk 
correctly; this broke in version 1.7 due to the UTF-8 change.

8. Ejecting a disk then inserting a new one now properly redraws the 
contents of the disks window if it's visible.  Previously, it was 
possible for the contents of the window to become somewhat confused in 
this situation.

9. Fixed a bug that caused the mouse cursor to bounce around the screen 
when Default Folder X is installed.  This also slightly improves the 
response performance of the mouse in Sweet16.

10. Fixed a couple of problems that caused crashes when clicking in the 
disks window under certain circumstances.

11. The Control-Command-M keyboard combination now properly issues the 
Mount Disk Image command.

12. Fixed a memory leak when initializing the Recent Disks menu.

13. Added a "Clear Recent Disks" command to the Recent Disks menu.  
This empties the recent disks list.

14. Fixed a bug that caused new DiskCopy 4.2 images to have invalid 
names in their DiskCopy 4.2 headers.

15. Fixed a bug that caused the progress window used when creating disk 
images or calculating the checksum on a DiskCopy 4.2 image to crash.

16. Fixed HTML markup problem in the documentation that made the 
instructions on copying the ROM from a IIgs unreadable.

17. Fixed the error dialog box that appears if you try to mount too 
many disks (or too many of a given type) so it actually contains text.

18. Fixed the "allow 14 MB" checkbox and the other controls in the 
Memory panel in the Preferences window to stay in sync properly.

19. Fixed the memory size preference so it resets to 8 MB if you turn 
off the "allow 14 MB" checkbox with the memory size set above 8 MB.
