-Improved some interface fonts in sizes smaller than 8 pixel width
-Added GUI Styles: MSX, Solarized Dark & Light
-Added setting to select machine by name instead by manufacturer
-Added setting to disable showing cpu temperature, or FPS on footer
-Added keyboard help window for all machines
-Footer FPS warns in red colour when FPS low

Improved Visualmem:
-added MMC Read/Write views
-added "Defrag style" setting

Improved debugging:
-Added breakpoint action "reset-tstatp"

-Added IN() function to read a port in the breakpoint parser
-Added key to execute a RET

Improved ZRCP:
-Allow to write commands in "". Not all commands support this
-Added save-binary command, to save binary data to a file

-Reduced a bit cpu usage (2% cpu less on my environment) when rendering scanlines
-Added altrom feature: now 48k and 128k mode works again
-Emulate register 0x8E (142) => Spectrum 128K Memory Mapping
-Allow to download a 512 MB TBBlue SD official card (allowed download sizes: 32MB, 128MB, 512MB, 2 GB)
-Allow paths with backslashes on esxdos handler
