Fixed bug in model 2 polygon clipping. [Ernesto Corvi]

Fixed input port so that shadfrcj doesn´t skip straight to the end
sequence. [stephh]

Fixed recent changes to the MB86233 core that broke Virtua Racing.
[Aaron Giles]

Added intelligence around the UPDATE_HAS_NOT_CHANGED flag, which is
returned from VIDEO_UPDATE. If all screens in the game return
UPDATE_HAS_NOT_CHANGED, then that frame is effectively skipped (up
to 3 frames in a row) in terms of throttling. This allows games that
render every other frame to not throttle during their "off frames".
Updated the midvunit driver to return UPDATE_HAS_NOT_CHANGED. You
should see an improvement in framerate with throttling enabled for
these games. Note that this only kicks in if frameskip is set to 0.

20MB to update the set. That was hardly worth releasing...

Seems like this version was more about bug fixes than introducing any new rom sets.

[Demon Cleaner]

Yep, the 118 version already was just a small update.

[Harrison]

I think as the MAME development continues we will see less and less new arcade games added and more improvements to the existing emulation of the existing supported ones being concentrated on.

It is slowly coming to the point where most arcade machines are now included or the hardware to run any that are not currently included is already emulated for other rom sets that are.
