The latest CPCE version is 1.71 and was released in December 28th 2006, and its major new features are 6 KB sector support (required by many protected disc games such as "Double Dragon (Mastertronic)" and "The Addams Family") and configurable turbo mode (up to 24 MHz, just like the [[CPC TREX]]). There are also bugfixes for overscan wrapping in DOS and hardware ports ghosting (as used in Hermol's XMAS2006 bugged intro). A patch was released in January 9th 2007 and it adds a new turbo mode, 4 (32 MHz).

The latest CPCE version is 1.80 and was released in March 10th 2007 during the retro computer event MadriSX 2007, and its major new feature is Dr.Zed's Symbiface 2 emulation (PS/2 mouse, realtime clock, two virtual hard disc drives and static RAM that can be mapped as ROM). It also supports the ERE disc protection, expands the ROM space (528 K instead of 272 K), fixes a tiny mistake in the AVI recording and other small bugs.
