Release 1.0.6

One of the biggest updates, there are some things to cover:

AVI capture is in a much better state than before, now captured video doesn't have black parts/smearing when part of the window is outside of the screen, which means you can encode in whatever the hell resolution you want without any tricks!

However, there's a catch, video plugins must support arbitrary resolutions, previously only gliden64 allowed that. So I made a fork of gln64 that can make use of the better encoding, along with some other cool additions (I might add more in the future). I included it in the release.

Another change is that you can automate playing back/capturing m64s by passing commandline arguments:

mupen64.exe -g "path/to/rom" -m64 "path/to/m64 -avi "path/to/output/avi" (-nogui optional)

When doing that, mupen reads last used compression config from avi.cfg saved in exe directory, so the codec dialog isn't needed.

Lua also got some changes, now it doesn't bottleneck fast forwarding (it's still slow otherwise). The engine was updated to 5.4, which is only good news for people making scripts because new features. And you don't need the dll anymore.

Next thing is that you can record m64 from start without clearing save data, useful for verifying tases on console faster. However you can't carry a save data like .st, you must swap it in mupen saves folder.

And there are tons of smaller bugfixes and quality of life additions, like faster closing, titlebar fixes, window focus issues. (Thanks to Aurumaker for many quick fixes and ideas)

Remember to update your STROOP config entry, you can find RAM start in Help->Show ram start
