Log message:
sameboy: update to 0.15.8

                                    Changes

Version 0.15.8

   This version is backwards compatible with save states from SameBoy 0.14.3
   and newer, as well as save states from any BESS compliant emulator

  New/Improved Features

     * The button mapped to B, on both the keyboard and controllers, can now
       be used to return from menus in the SDL frontend

Version 0.15.7

   This version is backwards compatible with save states from SameBoy 0.14.3
   and newer, as well as save states from any BESS compliant emulator

  New/Improved Features

     * The debugger now has an interrupt command, in addition to the
       previously-available ^C key sequence
     * The lcd command now displays the background shifter and fetcher states
     * The tick debugger command now has an optional keep argument, which
       prevents resetting the tick count

  Accuracy Improvements/Fixes

     * Fixed a regression that made DMA restart timing inaccurate
     * Fixed a regression that caused ROMs that trigger one of the pixel
       insertion glitches to display incorrectly (Release builds) or trigger
       an assertion (Debug builds)
     * Fixed a different regression in a different pixel insertion glitch

  Bug Fixes

     * Fixed a bug where the debugger finish command did not behave as
       expected in certain cases where the ROM manipulated the stack

  Misc Internal Changes

     * SameBoy (and SameBoot) can now be built with RGBDS 0.6.x; support for
       RGBDS 0.4.x has been dropped
     * Fixed potential compilation warnings for incoming versions of Clang
       and GCC
     * Added the GB_quick_reset API

Version 0.15.6

   This version is backwards compatible with save states from SameBoy 0.14.3
   and newer, as well as save states from any BESS compliant emulator

  New/Improved Features

     * All CGB revisions, as well as MGB, are now available in the libretro
       core
     * The debugger now guides users to use the help command
     * Both frontends can now selectively mute and unmute each of the 4 audio
       channels
     * Both frontends now support cartridge hot swapping

  Accuracy Improvements/Fixes

     * Fixed a bug where the libretro core sometimes ran at an incorrect
       speed after switching models
     * Fixed a minor DMA regression

sameboy: Update to 0.15.5

Version 0.15.5

   This version is backwards compatible with save states from SameBoy 0.14.3
   and newer, as well as save states from any BESS compliant emulator

  New/Improved Features

     * Both frontends now include links to the debugger documentation and to
       the GitHub Sponsors page

  Accuracy Improvements/Fixes

     * Fixed a bug where certain color correction modes were desaturating
       colors in an unbalanced manner
     * Accurate emulation of the first-frame-behavior while emulating the
       Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance; fixes white flashes while playing
       games developed by THQ
     * More accurate emulation of the square channels sample repeat glitch,
       fixing certain audio pops in LSDj and various games while using a
       vibrato effect

  Bug Fixes

     * Fixed a bug where MBC state was not properly reset, fixing bugs
       resulting in some games not booting correctly if they were loaded
       after certain other games in the SDL frontend, libretro, and other
       3rd-party frontends

  Misc Internal Changes

     * New memory management APIs for better integration of SameBoy as a
       library
