Applesauce FDC Client Software Updated

Notes from the Applesauce Floppy Disc Controller client software update:

Improvements and Fixes in 1.85

  • Support for loading TeleDisk TD0 images including the checksum validation for all sector data.
  • Big improvements to Amiga analysis, data recovery, and issue logging.
  • Improved issue logging for IMD files and proper support for sectors that are missing data fields.
  • Better signal analysis when determining the encoding of tracks that contain sectors written by multiple drives with mismatched spindle speeds.
  • Improved format recognition and more issue logging when loading disk images that contain bitstreams (like WOZ, MOOF, HFE).
  • Added support for imaging/analyzing FutureData disks. These were 8” disks that used a custom 5:4 GCR encoding.
  • Fixed some edge cases when looping MFM and M2FM disks with data that crosses the disk index.
  • Fixed a crash when using Continuity Camera to capture pictures of disks with your iPhone/iPad.
  • Fixed problem that could cause Disk visualizations to not render some tracks if it couldn’t interpret them.
  • HFE files that don’t include proper encoding information now default to MFM instead of failing to load.
  • Fixed the analysis of Victor 9000 disks that I broke in a previous release.
  • Tons more small fixes as well as a bunch of refactoring work intended to help out with future features.
