HxCFloppyEmulator 2.5.5.1

-> New hardware support introduced : Pauline ! The ultimate stream based floppy drive simulator / floppy dumper :)
   Pauline control and real time stream viewer window added. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZiyms6lo4U )

-> macOS : CAPSlib loader added (IPF, CTRAW...). (Windows/Linux/macOS CAPSlib loaders code merged)

-> macOS : macOS Big Sur support fixed.

-> New Loader/Writer : HxC Quickdisk images.

-> New Writer : Oric DSK images ("MFM_DISK" format).

-> New Loader : DiscFerret *.DFI stream files. (WIP!)

-> New Loader : AppleSauce *.A2R stream files. (WIP!)

-> XML loader : Add new properties and fix long track to support Quickdisk and Hardsectored disks.
                New proprerties (micro-seconds time length/position parameters) :
                index_len_us , add_index_us, track_len_us, pregap_us.

-> New XML format : Olivetti TOP 100 / Triumph-Adler Gabriele PFS typewriter Quickdisk format.

-> New XML format : FLEX disk formats.

-> New XML format : SORD M68 HD disk.

-> New XML format : Bung MGD2 disk.

                Can be enabled with the LOADER_IPF_CAPS_DI_LOCK_INDEX parameter.
                "Weak bits" support fixed.

-> CPC EDSK writer : Fix EDSK export with unformatted track(s).
                     Fix export with unaligned track size.
                     Keep the last unformatted tracks.
                     Discard the second side if unformatted. (parameter CPCDSK_WRITER_DISCARD_UNFORMATTED_SIDE)
                     Limit the sector data size to 6144 bytes. (parameter CPCDSK_WRITER_LIMIT_SECTOR_SIZE)

-> Atari ATR Loader : Loader fixed.

-> SCP Loader : Input file sanity checks added.

-> SCP Writer : Randomize stream on weak-bits.

-> SCP Writer : Fix single sided disks export.

-> STX Writer : Support sectors headers without data part.

-> TD0 Loader : More robust with corrupted images.

-> TRS80 DMK Loader : Fix FM / SD track ID / Data mark clock patching.

-> TRS80 DMK Writer : Byte align tracks (WIP!).

-> Macintosh disk support : Macintosh GCR decoding, CLV disks stream import (WIP!).

-> Disk viewer : Resizeable window.

-> Disk viewer : Realistic physical floppy disk state representation (3"1/2 135TPI, 5"1/4 96TPI, 5"1/4 48TPI, 8" 48TPI).

-> Disk viewer : Track markers support.

-> Disk viewer : New stream viewer modes !
                 You can see the stream files at the signal level ! :
                 SuperCard Pro *.SCP, Kryoflux *.raw, Pauline Stream HFE, DiscFerret *.DFI, AppleSauce *.A2R...

-> QuickDisk Thomson MO5 Sector/track support added (Set "BMPEXPORT_ENABLE_QD_MO5_ENCODING" to 1 to enable it).

-> Apple II : Track generator fixed : GCR 6&2 Sync bits and sector GAP fixed.

-> Apple II : Various fixes in the track analyzer.

-> QM loader : Regression fixed.

-> S900 raw files support : Low level/track format now match with the real S900 to fix the compatibility
                            with the Oberheim DPX-1.

-> Windows target : Now use MinGW32 / MinGW64 instead of VC 6.0 to build the software.
                    32 bits and 64 bits targets supported.
                    Speed performances significantly increased.

-> Flux Stream Analyzer : Perfectly aligned revolutions (index+stream) issue fixed.
                          (Some good tracks was marked as weak/bad).

-> Flux Stream Analyzer : Revolution overlap search depth reduced to 1.5% (+/- 3ms) -> Faster execution.

-> Floppy disk dump window redesigned. More options added.

-> USB HxC Floppy Emulator : Packet size can be set with the USB_HXCFLOPPYEMULATOR_DEFAULT_PACKET_SIZE variable.

-> And a plethora of others improvements and fixes !
