Priorities
==========
* Clean out old unused files - scons build system is dead, cmake is the way to go.
* GTK GUI was not cross-platform. A Qt5 version of the GUI has been created to meet this need.
The GTK GUI has been retired and is no longer supported.
* The Qt GUI has by far exceeded the capabilities of the older GTK version. Below is a GUI capability
matrix showing the differences between the two. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING THE Qt GUI.
* Code cleanup. Lots of compiler warnings with newer GCC. Maybe I'm OCD... but these warnings bother me.
Features
========
* Emulator no runs as a separate thread from the GUI. Much improved performance.
* Cross platform QT GUI is fully functional
