New in 1.02
- (Windows) Upgraded SQLite to 3.19.3.
- (All) The SQLite version is displayed on the "About" screen.
- (All) Added the ability to detect command parameters.
- Use parameter detection for better detection of games running in emulators or interpreters like DOSBox.
- This is an advanced optional feature and is not available in the "Add Game Wizard", please read the manual (http://mikemaximus.github.io/gbm-web/manual.html) for more details.
- (Linux) Please note that Wine detection is still handled automatically by GBM and only requires a Windows process name. But this feature does work with Wine if you need to detect parameters!
- (All) Added the ability to resize and maximize the main program window.
- The log is now displayed by default and resizes with the window.
- The "Show/Hide Log" button has been removed due to technical issues with this change.
- The minimum window size will let you easily hide the log as in past versions.
- (All) The last browse location in various dialogs is now saved, such as when using the Import/Export feature.
- (All) Available disk space is checked before attempting a backup. The log now displays available disk space and save folder size.
- (Linux) Using the keyboard to navigate the game list in the Game Manager now works correctly.
- (All) Tags can now be added to a new game configuration before saving on the Game Manager.
- (All) Fixed various issues when adding new game configurations while using filters on the Game Manager.
- (All) Added better handling of 7-Zip warnings and errors.
- (Linux) GBM now requires the "readlink" utility to properly handle Wine games. However bash, ls and grep are no longer required.
Known Issues
-
(Linux) When performing a backup, GBM only checks the free space on / (root), which may not be the drive the backups are being stored on. This will be fixed next release.
-
(Windows) If Alt-Tab is used to restore GBM while it's in the system tray, it's possible that it will no longer properly minimize back to the system tray. As a temporary work-around, right-click the GBM tray icon and use the "Show / Hide" option when this issue occurs. GBM should not be shown in the Alt-Tab menu while minimized, this issue will be fixed next release.
Installer Note
The installers are not signed and may show a Windows "Smart Screen" warning.
