@node "history" "Handy - History"

 v1.05 -000411
       -Recompiled with GCC 2.95.2, it did however get slower using this compiler :(
       -000506
       -Updated the Amiga version to Handy v0.70. This release is sadly slower than
        the previous one.
       -000512
       -Played a little with the compiler optimization options without any effect.
       -Rewrote most of the AmigaOS code to be more like all other emulators I've ported.
