This release is dedicated to my beagle, Stella, who sadly passed away on September 4, 2022.
Major changes:
- rp-config now has a GTK+ UI frontend.
- libromdata is now linked as a shared library instead of as a static library.
- String tables have been refactored to use less memory and reduce the number of relocations, which improves startup performance.
- Atari 7800 ROM images are now supported.
- Assorted fixes for the Lua, Nintendo 3DS, N64, and ELF parsers, including fixes for big-endian systems.
See NEWS.md for the full changelog, including a list of bugs fixed.
Ubuntu packages are available from an Ubuntu PPA for Ubuntu 16.04 "Xenial" Xerus, Ubuntu 18.04 "Bionic" Beaver, Ubuntu 20.04 "Focal" Fossa, and Ubuntu 22.04 "Jammy" Jellyfish.
To add the PPA and install rom-properties, run the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gerbilsoft/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rom-properties-all
This will install all rom-properties frontends and executables. Individual frontends can be installed by installing the relevant rom-properties-* package.
