Hello

At last, a new release ! :)

You can get it from http://hatari.tuxfamily.org/ or directly in 
http://download.tuxfamily.org/hatari/2.1.0/

Sources are available, as well as prebuilt binaries for Windows (in 32 
bit and 64 bit mode) and macOS (thanks to Troed).

Major highlights of this new version :

   - Major rewrite of the blitter to allow cycle exact bus accesses and
     correct bus sharing with the CPU

     displayed lines, video counter reloading, timer B in mono mode
   - Add full support for MMU/MCU RAM configuration at $FF8001, support
     more RAM combinations (256 KB and 2.5 MB)
   - Some STX floppy images were not correctly emulated when verify bit
     was set in the FDC
   - Support for undocumented STOP behaviour on 68000
   - Fix some rare bus accesses order and stack frames
   - Fix some flags after DIV and BCD instructions
   - Improved memory timing for 68030 depending on RAM type
   - 68030 instruction cache was not correctly disabled when EI=0 in
     CACR
   - Improve caches accuracy for 68020/30/40/60, with optional MMU
     support
   - Large improvements to FPU emulation, including a new softfloat
     method
   - MIDI support for Windows and macOS (with PortMidi library)
   - Add support for AVI files > 4GB (up to 256 GB)
   - SDL UI shows refresh rate and blitter usage
   - Several improvements/fixes when using VDI
   - Improvements/more options for autostart using virtual INF file
   - Many improvements to debugger, especially for symbols handling
   - Fix compilation for more targets (ARM64, MIPS, ...)
