Improvements

• Smooth display fade out/fade in when switching the layout (emulator/gamelist/orientation switch, MaLa start and quit).
• Command line arguments of LNK files are now recognized for proper execution of pc games or other apps.
• Screensaver enhancements: Send plugin event only, use snap and video path of selected gamelist/emulator for the screensaver display.
• Ability to use a watermark image on the videos in the screensaver for every emulator/video folder.
• Placeholder for the external application command line: rom path, rom name, rom parent name, rom extension and emu name (%path%, %rom%, %parent%, %ext%, %emu%).
• Different command lines for the external applications for MAME, other emus and the jukebox.
• Ability to configure the info window. Add/remove pages, reorder pages, edit page title.
• Additional MAME command line parameter added to the cocktail mapping.
• New placeholder ~g_capital added to the layout text objects which shows the first two letters of the game name (good for fast scrolling).
• Option to replace the right mouse button for opening the popup menu/options dialog with a definable keystroke. This disables the right mouse button in MaLa.
• Joystick polling is not disabled anymore when no joystick is connected. Automatic recallibration when a joystick is plugged again.
• New plugin event: MaLaOrientationSwitch. This event provides the orientation of MaLa in degrees (0, 90, 180, 270).
• New plugin event: MaLaScreensaverSwitch. This event provides the the full path of the displayed image/video of the screensaver.
• New plugin events: MaLaTreeUp and MaLaTreeDown. This event is triggered when using a tree navigation.
• New frontend sound: Tree Up/Down.
• Added messages next to the events in the Plugin SDK which makes it possible to trigger things within MaLa from a plugin dll or another application. Please refer to the SDK documentation to get more information on this.

Bugfixes
• Crash on displaying the recommended games in the info dialog for some games fixed.
• The video display now works flawless. No stuttering anymore in the layout and the starting video.
• MalaLayout: Marquee and control panel default image not saved in layout file.
• Wrong text size for the Info window lines. Menu text size was used.
• Fixed the annoying 'Soundcard installation is corrupted' bug.

Does this provide the ability to skip the disclaimer for the games?  I tried it with .113 and RC8 and it didn't work.  Thanks.

I may be wrong, but I don't think Mame supports skipping the disclaimer anymore.  As such its not a Mala problem.  If you want to skip the disclaimer, compile the mame source with the hi_score patch.  Its so easy, a caveman could do it.  It removes the disclaimer along with adding high score support.

No. This is not a MaLa issue, its a MAME issue. Compile your own MAME or skip the disclaimer ONCE for every game and then never again.
