Released: 2007-06-29. Features only a change to the build script. In the words of Aaron Giles:

Oops, looks like my build script was broken by the recent change in object paths, and thus it did not catch a compilation error in the original 0.116u3 update.

Released: 2007-07-05

MAMETesters Bugs Fixed
