MAME 0.104u5 source released.

I nearly missed this one (updated just yesterday) so it comes to you with a time phase. ;). The main news is that Aaron keeps updating the main core all the way down, so if you have any reports on bugs etc you better mail them at the MAMETesters so they will be fixed next time. AFAIC the supported games there are some too, also as many clone updates. Detais follow:

MAME 0.104u4 source released.

When Aaron takes the time to clean up code this is what you have! Another huge diff update which leaves nothing intact. The technical information follows below, I have picked up the most important parts off the what's new file. Please read:

0.104u4
-------

IMPORTANT CHANGES FOR OSD DEVELOPERS:

1. osd_pause is no longer called directly. Rather, your osd_init
function should register the osd_pause callback (if necessary) using
add_pause_callback.

2. osd_die and is now handled by the core; you should remove this
function from the OSD layer.

3. logerror is front-ended in the core; it calls to a new OSD
function osd_logerror which handles the OS-specific file and/or
debugger logging.
