- 0.106u10: Aaron Giles updated Discs of Tron to support the new artwork system.

- 0.36b8: Nicola Salmoria change the mouse buttons to no longer aliases for joystick buttons, they are independently recognized. They are still considered "joystick" inputs though, so if you want to use them you have to redefine the controls in the Joystick menu.
