I've done that for EmuTOS 1024k Git version.

No issues found, but I did some TOS boot tester improvements to be able 
to test additional Hatari <bool> option combinations.

I'll test Atari TOS versions later on.

Currently working on this.  The new "atari-drm" gfx driver has some 
problems, but I do not yet know whether they are kernel or Hatari 
issues.  I don't think them to be regressions though, so it won't block 
release.

Did some testing for these too, along with ASAN testing. Fixed a leak 
reported by ASAN.

One more thing I'm working on, is STDOOM profiling/debugging.

I'd like to do some Hatari changes to make it easier to enable debug 
features for autostarted programs, hopefully before release.
