Hi Jordan and Otis,
All features I added to vDos-lfn apply to and are incorporated into both the 2015.11.01 and 2016.06.01 branches of vDos-lfn. The differences between the two branches of vDos-lfn are basically the differences between the 2015.11 version and the 2016.06 version of vDos themselves. Basically the 2016.06 version of vDos has its own built-in printing processor (instead of DOSPrinter) and improved CPU emulation, but the 2015.11 version of vDos seems to be more XyWrite friendly in some cases. As a result, vDos-lfn for XyWrite 1.5x is a continuation of the 2015 branch rather than the 2016 one. Hope this helps.

While it does not get down to "chapter & verse", this was addressed in Wengier's reply to me dated 8/14, with subject from the "Mouse Wheel" thread. But I don't know just how much of the updates has migrated to the other version. It sounded to me like I might be better off with the 2015 branch, at least for now. At some future time, it might be more of a toss-up.

Me, too -- losing track, that is.
After all the improvements that Wengier has made in the last couple of
months, is there a summary somewhere of the differences, now, between
the two branches? Or have all of Wengier's recent wish-fulfillment
changes been incorporated into both the 2015 and 2016 versions?
