- An examine/x command can now use $ in its modifier to use hexadecimal count values
- It is now possible to adjust the maximum rumble strength
- It is now possible to modify and save a running ROM file from the Memory Viewer in the Cocoa frontend

Accuracy Improvements/Fixes
- Added silence detection to eliminate rounding artifacts when playing nothing but frequencies above Nyquist
- Prevented abnormal vblank events from updating the SNES-side buffers prematurely
- Fixed a bug that made reading the PCM registers non-deterministic when emulating a CGB in CPU revision C or older
- Fixed a bug that caused ROMs to be running in the background under some cases in the Cocoa frontend
- Fixed a bug that caused channel PCM12 to output incorrect channel 2 values when emulating CGB in CPU revision C or older
- Improved the accuracy of the PCM registers when emulating CGB in CPU revision C or older
- Emulated a new quirk where volume envelope ticks are delayed while emulating a CGB in CPU revisions D or E
- Corrected the channel alignment of channels 1 and 2 while emulating CGB in CPU revision C or older
- Fixed a bug where a volume envelope quirk that was only applicable to channels 1 and 2 was also applied to channel 4
- Major improvements to emulation of channel 4 start delays
- Emulated a quirk where one of channel 4's internal counters counts while the channel is inactive
- Emulated LFSR corruptions and "zombie steps" when writing to NR43, including revision differences
