 # Changelog
 
+## [0.18.0](https://github.com/elektronaut/badline/compare/v0.17.0...v0.18.0) (2026-10-20)
+
+### Highlights
+
+- **SuperPET**: `badline pet --model superpet` runs the SuperPET with both its CPUs. The 6502 side is an 8032 with 64K of bank RAM, the 6551 ACIA and the 6702 dongle. `--cpu 6809` boots the Waterloo menu on its 6809, and microBASIC, microAPL, Pascal, FORTRAN, COBOL and the editor load from disk and run unpatched. The pause menu sets the CPU and RAM switches, and APL types by key position.
+- **KIM-1**: `badline kim1` runs the MOS KIM-1 with its six-digit display, keypad and single step, or with `--tty` on a teletype in the window or the terminal. Papertapes (`.ptp`, `.pap`) and binaries load straight into RAM or through the monitor's `L`, and cassettes play and record as `.wav`, including real recordings.
+- **VIC-20 NTSC**: `badline vic20 --ntsc` runs the NTSC VIC-20 on its 6560, with its interlace.
+- **Older PET drives**: `--drive-type` puts a 2040, 3040, 4040, SFD-1001, D9060 or D9090 on the PET's or the CBM-II's IEEE-488 bus, and the pause menu's drive page picks one. They read `.d64`, `.d67`, `.d82` and `.d90` images, a hard disk's `N` formats at once, and they save in xpet's `.vsf` snapshots.
+

+
+## [0.17.0](https://github.com/elektronaut/badline/compare/v0.16.1...v0.17.0) (2026-10-19)
+
+### Highlights
+
+- **CBM-II**: `badline cbm2` runs the B series' 610, 620, 710 and 720, with the 6509 and its segment bus, BASIC 128 or 256, the 6845 CRTC on 80 columns, the SID, both 6525 TPIs and cartridges. `--kernal 04a` or `03b` picks the KERNAL, and `--60hz` runs it on 60 Hz mains.
+- **P500**: `badline cbm2 --model 510`, or `510ntsc`, runs the CBM 510, with a VIC-II for 40 columns in colour, two joysticks, and a 1351 mouse or paddles on either port.
+- **8050 and 8250**: the dual drives run DOS 2.7 on both their processors and read and write `.d80` and `.d82` images. `--true-drive` puts one on the PET's or the CBM-II's IEEE-488 bus for a `.d80` or `.d82`, and the CBM-II takes a true 2031 too.
+- **VICE snapshots**: badline reads and writes xcbm2's and xcbm5x0's `.vsf` files, and a PET's 8050 or 8250 in xpet's. `--vice` adds VICE's modules to a CBM-II snapshot, so xcbm2 or xcbm5x0 opens it.
+

 Sound is the headline: `badline --sound` plays the SID in the emulator window and paces emulation to the audio device. It is off by default, because the emulator still runs below real time on CRuby and the sound stutters there.
