DOSBox-Staging Git (2026/01/25) aims to modernize the DOSBox project by enhancing development practices, resolving existing issues, and adding features compatible with contemporary systems. Key updates include the removal of autotype for choice/t, unused forward declarations, and unnecessary translations. Notable fixes involve correcting a false positive key check in Windows console multitasking and ensuring serial mouse configuration is accessible during startup. Additionally, the project simplifies mouse code, adds a ‘GetStringLowCase’ function, and maintains consistent mouse model enumeration names. The goal is to streamline code quality and support for users, with the latest version available for download.
