Furnace v0.6.8.3 - more fixes

[tildearrow]

another release to address a couple bugs present in previous versions, including two or three critical issues (crashes).

fixes

• fix severe crash when using OPL4
• fix possible crash when importing an XM file
• fix crash when importing a config file
• fix ESFM output being inverted
• fix Y channel selector in X/Y osc (thanks Eknous)
• set default SDL audio driver on Windows Vista to winmm in order to get audio working again
• fix duty effect not working without note on VRC6
• fix VIC-20 on/off macro or note off not being taken into account when playing from position

changes/additions

• improve chip mixing for certain presets (SCC, PC-88 and PC-98) - thanks Iyatemu!
• YM2612 chip is now YM2612 by default (it was YM3438 before)
• Windows 2000 support
• add winners from the Blank Contest to Demo Songs
• add speed drift compensation options to VGM export
  • this is added in order to compensate for a slight, yet noticeable difference in playback speed when using DeadFish's Genesis VGM player

note for Windows XP/Legacy Systems users

the Windows XP version of Furnace is working once again. I've had an issue with the compiler, which has been temporarily sorted out by downgrading the C runtime package.

as a bonus, Furnace now supports Windows 2000!!! you'll need DirectX 9 installed though.

note for Windows Vista users

this release should work properly on Vista now. it wasn't launching due to dependency on a 7-exclusive function (and after fixing there wouldn't be sound out of the box due to an incomplete WASAPI implementation).
