+Changes between 1.7 and 1.8

+IMPORTANT CHANGES:
+
+- The emulator now requires that you specify a virtual machine name when
+  starting the emulator, prefixed with the '@' sign. For example, to start
+  the 'foo' virtual machine, type:
+
+      emulator @foo
+
+  Each VM corresponds to a directory used to store mutable disk images, an
+  optional system image/kernel/sdcard,  plus some configuration file(s).
+
+  The command-line tool 'android' that comes with the SDK can be used to
+  create/list/remove virtual machines on your system.
+
+  Note that the '@<name>' form is a convenience shortcut for '-vm <name>'.
+  It is thus possible to place options after the VM name on your command
+  line, as in:
+
+      emulator @foo -verbose -shell
+
+  Finally, when building the Android platform source tree, a VM name is not
+  required and 'emulator' will start a new emulator instance exactly as
+  previously.
+
+- Hardware emulation is now limited to the corresponding Android Virtual
+  Machine's configuration. This means it is now possible to not emulate
+  a touch-screen, trackball, dpad, keyboard, modem, etc...
+
+  Note that in the case of the Android build system, all hardware properties
+  are enabled by default, so this only affects "normal" virtual machines
+  created with the 'android' tool.
+
+OTHER:
+
+- A new console command 'vm name' can be used to query the name of the
+  virtual machine running in the emulator. Note that it will be '<build>'
+  if you run from the Android build system.
+
+  Also, the emulator's window title also displays the VM name now.
+
+- The option '-memory <size>' has been added. <memory> must be an integer
+  specifying the amount of physical RAM in the emulated device in megabytes.
+  The default value is 96.
+
+- The '-skindir <path>' option now requires that you specify a '-skin <name>'
+  option as well.

+- Support for HTTP/HTTPS proxies has been considerably improved and should now
+  "just work" with a lot more HTTP proxies. In case of problem, use the
+  -debug-proxy option to dump debugging data to stderr.
 
 OTHER:
 
+- Trackball emulation has changed. First, the awkward "Control-T" keybinding
+  is gone. Instead, you can now:
+
+     - press 'Delete' to show the trackball and have it disappear as soon
+       as your release the key.
+
+     - press 'F6' to perform a persistent trackball mode toggle.
+
+  Also, trackball emulation is fixed in rotated/landscape mode now.
+
 - New option '-nand-limits <limits>' allows you to send a signal to a remote
   process when a read or write threshold on flash storage is reached. This is
   only useful for hardcore Android system hackers.

+- Re-enable CPU fault emulation in case of unaligned data access. This was
