Fixes

IPC communications

An upstream dependency used to (de)serialize JSON between various layers of Retrom introduced a regression that broke certain functionalities. As a consequence of this, the server config file now uses camelCase as is standard for JSON. Existing configs will continue to work.

0.4.2 - 2024-11-17

Fixes

auto-updating

New

announcement system

Retrom now has an announcement system that can be used to display important messages without requiring a new release. This is useful for getting notified about breakages in current versions or new features that are available.

indicate installation status in side bar

0.3.2 - 2024-10-26

Fixes

MultiFileGame installations

0.3.1 - 2024-10-24

Fixes

sub-directories in game files

Any sub-directories in a MultiFileGame's directory is now properly scanned and added to the game's file list. Installing such games from the desktop client now works as expected, as does downloading them from the web client.
UI Tweaks

Updated changlog to look more prettier

New

allow deleted games to be re-imported

Now when deleting a game, blacklisting it from future library scans is optional. This is useful for games that have malformed data and need to be reset completely.

0.3.0 - 2024-10-21

Added

[breaking] shared emulator profiles

Emulators are no longer scoped to a single client. Any per-client configuration is now distinct from the emulators -- and, by extension, their profiles -- themselves. This means that profiles can now be used across clients!

0.2.8 - 2024-10-21

Added

install_dir macro for custom args

Now you can use the install_dir macro in your profile's custom args to specify the installation directory for the game. This will allow you launch multi-file games with emulators that require a directory of files ( e.g. RPCS3 ).

0.2.7 - 2024-10-17

Fixed

installed games filenames

Installing games now properly omit's any quotes that wrap the filename, fixing the issue where games could not be installed on windows.

Additionally, filenames now no longer strip the file extension.

0.2.6 - 2024-10-17

Fixed

creating log file

Retrom now checks to make sure the log directory exists before trying to create a log file. It also places the log file in the OS-specific idiomatic location for log files.

0.2.5 - 2024-10-17

Added

client log file

0.2.4 - 2024-10-15

Fixed

(Web Client) Fix downloading games w/ commas in name

0.2.3 - 2024-10-13

Fixed

emulator save strategy dropdown

The dropdown will now properly reset the rendered value when an emulator is added.
(client) indent changelog bodies
