- Build-in command history and tab file name completion previously done by GPL readline now done by BSD licensed library available on all platforms (expecially Windows).
- Robust register sanity checking for all register definition macros.
- When building on windows, the windows-build dependency libraries are automatically downloaded even if git is not available.
- Extended video component version information displayed in SHOW VERSION output.
- Add a global SET AUTOZAP command or per drive SET <unit> AUTOZAP which removes metadata from disk containers at detach time if the container has metadata.
- DISKINFO command displays disk container metadata (if present) and container size along with detected file system information if a known file system type is present.
- makefile builds which have potentially useful dependencies not found will prompt to install these components prior to building. MacOS Brew dependencies can be directly done from within the makefile. Other platforms (or package management systems) which require root access to install will display the appropriate package management commands and and exit.

#### Windows
Compiling on windows is supported with recent versions of Microsoft Visual Studio (Standard or Express) and using GCC via the MinGW32 environment. Things may also work under Cygwin, but that is not the preferred windows environment. Not all features will be available as well as with either Visual Studio or MinGW32.

##### MinGW32
Building with MinGW32 is deprecated and may be removed in the future since the original motivation for MinGW32 builds was due to there not being a free compiler environment on Windows. That hasn't been the case for at least 15 years.
Building with MinGW32 requires the same directory organization and the dependent package support described for Visual Studio in the file https://github.com/simh/simh/blob/master/Visual%20Studio%20Projects/0ReadMe_Projects.txt. Building with MinGW64 is not supported.
