from www.emaculation.com:
"SheepShaver: 2.2-20040224 clockwise
Wednesday, February 25 @ 00:33:00 EST
Gwenole Beauchesne took to the news groups to promote SheepShaver today.
Additionally, he posted the following to the mailing list:
"...[r]emaining bits prior to a formal release would include runtime depth switching from B2 and fixes for DGA displays + other ports. Possibly ethernet too, but I am still not satisfied with the current fixes.
Note that you no longer needs the -hacks patch, as I finally committed another variant for now. That should make it more user-friendly to build & get something working with MacOS 8.6 out-of-the box.

What's new from previous test release?
Improved generic JIT, also now translates FPU instructions
AltiVec emulation, thus enabling the PVR to match a 7400 (G4)
Partial port to Darwin/PPC, i.e. it runs but some features may be missing
"
I hope they integrate it more with the Basilisk2 sources and that they add support for MacOS 9.x
