- Les Bird has given permission to include his extensive library of MSX ROM images. Please see https://github.com/lesbird/MSX8 for more information.
- Appropriate MSX8 ROM player and hardware required to use these.
- Provided as supplemental RomWBW disk image slices (msxroms1.img, msxroms2.img).

- Post-processing of disk-hosted ROMs such as FZ80 and ZRC has been modified to handle custom user configurations.
- Standardized all distribution ROM names to end in _std.
- ROM Applications document has been consolidated into the Applications document
- Martin has done a significant overhaul of the Applications document

Update CLRDIR with minor update from the author Max Scane to emphasize the need to type a capital Y to proceed. Thanks and credit to Max Scane for this application.
Adds CLRDIR to the Applications document.
- Generic serial interface client support files have been added. This mode of operation is not documented in the RomWBW User Guide. Refer to <https://github.com/durgadas311/cpnet-z80>.
- Minor patch to NULU so it does not spit out a directory listing every time it is invoked.
Based on input from Martin R, the console takeover mechanism has been modified to require that the space bar be pressed twice in a row on the character unit desiring to be the console. This reduces the chance of a spurious console takeover due to garbage input on serial ports.
- If enabled by AUTOCON config setting, you can press <space> at any character device to take over the console at the boot loader prompt.
- Correction to SIOSEEK documentation in System Guide. Thanks and credit to Martin R.
- Last check-in had a couple of config file errors which are corrected here.
- Also updated Appendix A of the User Guide to reflect new CH37x port addressing.
- Credit and thanks to Martin R for providing a substantial list of suggested fixes and improvements to the User Guide. I have done my best to address them -- others will require more time and will hopefully be addressed in the future.
Based on input from Issue #364, I have attempted to clarify a few areas on the User Guide:
- Recommendation to only use ROM OSes only for limited purposes
- Added a more detailed description of the automatic drive assignment algorithm
- Added more detail on batch file auto-submission
- Added support for Duodyne Multi-IO board
- Added support for Duodyne Zilog-IO board
- Added SUPCTS equate in hbios.asm to allow selectively adding code to suppress use of CTS during HBIOS boot
- Added reference in User Guide to Bruce Hall's Assembly Language Programming document
- Add minimal Fuzix instructions to User Guide
- Enable CTC auto-detect by default for RCBus. It causes no problems to auto-detect it and it will stop a CTC from generating unexpected interrupts after a soft restart.
- Upgrade `SUPERSUB` to v1.3 (previously v1.1)
- The naming of ZZRCC was incorrectly ZZRC. Corrected.
- Max Scane has provided a small bug fix for CLRDIR.
- Minor build updates for new HTalk utility.
The QPM portion of the build has been updated to dynamically combine the current CBIOS with the static QPM CCP and BDOS binaries. This will keep the QPM system image up to date and avoid HBIOS version mismatch warnings.
