Vista user note:

If you install cmpro to a protected folder like C:\program files\, you have to set the compatibility properties of cmpro.exe to 'run this program as administrator' to work correctly or you have to disable UAC. In other folders it should work fine without setting this property and without the need of disabling UAC.

Linux WINE/Mac Crossover user note:

If you got problems with the main window, set the option 'Adv_HideWindow = off' in cmpro.ini. In case you don't have a cmpro.ini yet, create one with the following two lines:
[CMPRO SETTINGS]
Adv_HideWindow = off

• added: batcher option for rebuilder destination -> always use the 1st rompath
• added: some missing tooltips

• misc: bios sets with given romof tag aren't handled as biossets (aka MAME .126 sfz3ugd issue)

• misc: sample parents which aren't listed (e.g. MAME's alphamc07) are added as sample-only sets
• misc: settings import button is only available for rom/sample paths
• misc: reading archives is done in an own thread

If the datafile contains release information, the user can specify their own region and language preferences. The region and language preferences influence the ZIP names used for merged ROMs. CMPro will choose the most appropriate ZIP names for the user, based on their region and language preferences. Thanks go to Logiqx for the algorithm. De-/Activating regions/languages can be done here: settins->combo box->regions/languages. You can also modify the order there.
• added: scanner popupmenu explore -> to either explore/open the belonging rompath or the set itself
• added: an ini entry to make f205v and Tauchy happy ;)
• misc: moved old option 'decompress rom and test crc32' to compressor settings as decompress files to memory (that's what it actually is)
