Dreaming of new Lazarus! New Features?

[Demon-Seed]

Hey,
Just wondered if I was the only one who can not wait for the next version of Lazarus? Its such a great frontend that makes the gaming on my machine so unique, customizable and easy to use! Howard can you drop us any hints of a release date or any new features that will be added??

Thanks
Jim

It comes out today(hopefully)  There aren't a whole lot of new features, but just enough to piss old users off as they will have to fresh install (again.)  Title snaps and real video previews are supported as well as the infamous 3d cabient plugin courtesy of )p(.  Also there is a new search feature and an additional search field, "driver", so displaying cabinets based on manufacturer is much easier.  I will also give in and use the vs6 package and deployment wizard due to the new complexity and the regsvr problems some have been having.  

Oh and unfortunately all skins are obsolete again.

Hey,
I cant wait for the next release. I am kinda upset at the skin thing, but will there be any way to convert??

Is there going to be an easy way to organize roms? like tkae th emame roms and make a Mame section and one without Neo Geo roms..just have neo Geo ones?

take care.

The skins technically are ok, until you load a new skin (4.0 skin)  then they take on the options of the extra features added from the previous skin. To convert you pretty much load and re-save.  

The new driver field helps you sort out roms.  All neogeo games use the neogeo.c mame driver, so you simply filter it in/out.
