WHATSNEW (Since Version 1.21):
----------------------------------------------------------------
1.23
----------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Port:
- Upgraded compiler.
- Added an option in the video dialog to automatically take advantage of other
display frequencies. It's disabled by default for compatibility reasons
but should be enabled for best performance.
- IDirect3DDevice9::SetDialogBoxMode() and D3DPRESENTFLAG_LOCKABLE_BACKBUFFER
are now ONLY set when a menu or window is visible in full-screen mode. Improves
speed and vsync timing.
- Added an option for tripple-buffering in the timing dialog.
- Emulation is now stopped upon menubar activation.
- The last selected file type in the launcher dialog is now remembered throughout
the application lifetime.

truncated using ellipses.
