Beta .98
- Fixed problem .g64 image file creation with new image file format.
- Increased buffer size from 64MB to 100MB to allow for huge flux images. I need to change this buffer size to be based on the number of revolutions, instead of hard coding it!

Beta .99
- Changed the analyzer's MFM display back to MFM... it was showing FM as a test I was doing and I forgot to switch it back.

Release v1.01
- Changed Flux Display so it shows flux data as time based instead of bitcell based. This gives us the ability to see strongbits (no flux areas), marked with a red pixel (typically forming a line) at the bottom of the display.
- Changed firmware to fix issue with reading tracks that are 100% completely no flux areas.
- Changed red vertical stripes in flux display to gray, and now show the proper sections for each revolution.
- Added framework in Flux Display to allow showing any revolution individually or sequentially, with different colors.
- Increased speed of Flux Display refresh.
- Changed firmware to allow a no flux area to appear at the beginning of the revolution.
Note: v1.01 and later
requires the v0.8 firmware upgrade.

Release v1.04
- Added ability to set the number of revolutions used when creating a disk. This lets you use the 1st or 1st/2nd revolutions (if necessary) with a multi-rev image file to quickly make a copy. Now when you click on the Override file option, the number of revs will be available to change and will be used during the copy.
- Split making a disk from an image file into two steps:1) loading the flux image, 2) making the disk. This allows for a better control for override options, but more importantly this will give us a way to analyze and display flux images before making a copy (in a future version).
- Fixed issue with analyzer not displaying 1.44MB MFM data correctly.
- Got rid of the FLUX, MFM, and GCR buttons. Replaced these with a dropdown list instead with FLUX, MFM, FM, and GCR options.
- Added ability to display RAW or HEX data. HEX data will decode MFM or FM data into hex.
- Added support for the numeric keypad numbers... for that picky French guy!

Release v1.06
- Changed OFFSET in analyzer to default as unchecked.
- Added OFFSET for MFM and FM modes in analyzer.
- Changed flux display to show information for each revolution in the tooltips, for multi-revolution READs.
- Fixed bug in calculating write splice for multi-rev images. This bug was introduced with the support for NFA.
- Fixed a few button combination issues in the copier.
- Improved copier interface! Now fills in start/end track/heads based on the disk type, which is now a pull-down list with many types of disks listed. New Copy Mode feature lets you select Index or Splice (and soon DOS will be added). Colorized track display, and more!
- Swapped Copier and Analyzer positions in the Function pull-down menu.
- Removed G64 file unless disk type is set to C64/128.
A new manual was released to cover the new additions and changes.
