Bug Fixes
=========
LP: #519828 - Start-up dialog should not be minimised
LP: #519834 - Assembler Error: No line highlighting
LP: #579317 - Modify the 'Help' dialog to point to actual tutorial
LP: #579318 - Stepping through code doesn't honor breakpoints
LP: #579319 - Help -> about = crash
LP: #579320 - CMP flags not working like SUB with signed numbers
LP: #584093 - 78+88 in BCD addition missed carry
Known Issues
============
Minimal testing of printing feature on Windows shows that it does not work as expected. This is nothing specific to GNUSim8085. GTK+ printing APIs are not very well supported on Windows.
When using internationalised UI on Windows some languages simply show square blocks instead of appropriate text. This is specifically seen with languages that use non-latin scripts (Indic languages and Arabic).
Happy Simulating!!!

GNUSim8085 on flattr.com
Written for gnusim8085 by Onkar Shinde on 2010-08-29
Flattr.com is a social micro-payment system (in case you didn't know that already). It helps people show their appriciation for the things they like using very small amount of money. The 'thing' can be software, text, audio, video, image. Multiple such micro-payments make up a nice amount for the content producers.
We thought it was nice idea for our application to be submitted on on flattr.com. The money gathered using the donations can be used for website hosting, bug bounties etc.
