Both DONE.

Added reproducible builds to todo.txt.

Slightly pending still (question of users'
config, and me using it in TOS tester).

DONE.


There were few additional items from Roger:
* dspmemwrite, dsploadbin & dspsavebin
* incomplete Falcon sound DMA reg emulation

And one from Vincent Barilliot:
* enhanced keymap table format

I've added them to todo.txt.

Doc updates are done, but issues were found,
of which some are still open:

* Random Hatari crash with EKO system
  -> Thomas & Nicolas are looking for better DMA
     buffer handing fix

* H20 music missing
  (after v1.5 due to commit c96a36308)
  -> Laurent investigating best fix

* GEMPlay 1.99 double bus errors
  -> can somebody reproduce this?  If yes,
     could somebody test it also on real Falcon?

* -2-10x slowdown in Hmm... & '_' demos under
  EmuTOS compared to TOS4, even after STOP / DSP
  fix
  -> I'll profile Hatari


(I've added Thomas' suggestion on improving
the last IDE crash fix also to todo.txt.)

After investigating "Hmm..." slowdown, I'll look
into this...

....then I'll go back to investigating TOS boot
tester issue(s).


* Uwe's duplicate drive image issue

  - will look into that last, unless somebody
    else will
