What are the significant MAME “milestones”?

I won’t go all the way back, but it is useful to keep track of some of these changes so you know what is/isn’t available when you have to use an older version of MAME: R36B10 – R36B16, The PONG Dynasty. Pong was supported by these MAME versions. It was later removed. Because of this, binaries of these version are difficult to find (they are not on www.mame.net), and source files are even harder to find. R36B12 – AND key sequences added. R36B13 – OR and NOT key sequences added. Alpha Blending enabled, which significantly slows down vector games with artwork (BattleZone, Asteroids Deluxe, etc.) R36B14 – The old driver based hi-score saving support is disabled.
