Add: Preferences completely replaced
Add: Toggle document tabs via Ctrl-Tab/Ctrl-Shift-Tab
Add: Show shortcut keys on asm source editor context menu
Fix: Rename references keeps scroll offset intact
Fix: Unit tests for cartridge compilation use external compare files now (the constants were getting too long)

Add: C128 VDC 80×25 charset mode (and C128 palette)
Fix: https://github.com/GeorgRottensteiner/C64Studio/issues/81
Fix: char screen editor reverse mode, now works for text entry and also uses the intended cache (https://github.com/GeorgRottensteiner/C64Studio/issues/80)
Fix: BASIC It’s column, not row, damnit!
Fix: BASIC Update case button caption/image if loading a lowercase file
Fix: Renaming a file in Solution Explorer now also appropriately adjusts dependencies
Add: Show bytes/cycle count of the current line, when nothing is selected

Fix: Map editor undo would not update the display if scrolled
WIP-Fix: Autocomplete combo in Replace dialog at least works now, not final
Fix: The emulator combo would be empty on the first startup after the emulator setup wizard ran
add/fix: Map editor, several convenience functions (default select a map/tile if opened)
Fix: BASIC toggling case would mess up macro casing inside string literals
Add: Import from binary file now allows to skip a number of bytes
Add: Charset editor, import from hex
Fix: BASIC renumber keeps spaces between numbers intact
Fix: Broken BASIC renumber would run emulator sometimes
Fix: FileManager drag&drop was broken due to renaming the main namespace
Fix: Remove shadow cursor after a triple click
Fix: Scaling issues on high DPI for build event tab
Fix: “Shadow” caret when clicking inside the selection
Add: MediaManager support for file types

C64 Studio is a .NET based IDE.
The program supports project-based C64 assembly or Basic V2. The internal assembler is using the ACME syntax.
In connection with Vice the IDE allows you to debug through your code and watch variables/memory locations, registers, and memory.
Any other emulator can be set up as well if it’s startable via runtime arguments.
C64 Studio allows you to compile to raw binary, .prg, .t64, .d64 or cartridge format (.bin and .crt for 8k, 16k, MagicDesk)
Additionally to this C64 Studio comes with a charset, sprite and media editor (tape and disk).
An encompassing help documentation is part of the program and is also viewable online: Click here!
