Time to eat the Acai Berry

So in case anyone is still following my release schedule, I missed another one! And is anyone else sick of all these acai berry advertisements on the internet?

But tomorrow is going to be release day, I can say this because it's ready right now at 2am. I need to do a few little release preparation things before I can put it out there which is why you will have to wait a few more hours.

It's been a crazy last few days though, I spent a day and a half tracking down a single bug that was causing crashes on some machines. It was a ridiculously small bug in the end but it was horrible to track it down. It did give me a chance to refactor a large part of the GUI code though, something I had been putting off.

This release is going to be the best one yet, it's been the most tested and I've literally spent many days tracking down every obscure bug that has been posted to me. This should mean this release is very stable. RetroCopy is harder to debug than the usual emulator because it has thousands upon thousands of lines of code. Usually a team of 5-6 people would be managing the code base I do alone, but hey, I'm not crying too much about it.

v0.500B will be a very good codebase to build from, I have done a lot of work I was putting off and all the features I wanted to be adding months ago will start coming very soon! I can't wait.
