Full Changelog: v0.4.0...v0.4.1

v0.4.0 : First truly standalone version, FFMPEG support

This update took a bit longer to be released, mainly because the matroska format is full of surprises 👀

New features

• Program is now fully independant from other softwares (no longer needs mkvmerge to make MKV files).
  • Added an internal merging engine, a bit faster than mkvmerge but consumes more memory.
• FFMPEG support for MKV creation.
• New option --engine, allowing to select which merging engine to use. internal, mkvmerge and ffmpeg are available (defaulting to internal if absent).

Optimizations

• Audio conversion step (HCA to WAV) is 5 times faster and parallelized.
• USM demuxing step is faster and more IO friendly.
• Entire process is faster, thanks to some compiler options and code optimizations.

Build

• Standalone builds are now 3 times smaller, thanks to the build trimming.
• Added builds for MacOS 12 (x86-64 and ARM architectures, closing #14) and Linux ARM

v0.3.0 : Fixes and parsing for version 2.7+

• Program has been adapted to support the new version.json format (with multiple keys for each game version)
• version.json updated with 2.7 keys
• Two binaries for Windows and Linux : standalone and framework dependant (with dotnet installed)

v0.2.0 : Subtitles and mkv merging

Added --subs, --merge, --no-cleanup options to batchDemux and demuxUsm commands :

• Subtitles from the repository can be retrieved automatically converted to ASS files (--subs option)
• Extracted files from the USMs can be merged into a single MKV file (--merge option)
• By default, extracted files are automatically deleted when merged into a MKV file. The --no-cleanup option don't delete them.

First working release : demuxing, decryption and conversion

First working release, which is able to:

• Extract video and audio from the usm files
• Decrypt the extracted files
• Decode and convert .hca files to .wav
