Release Highlights

New DAT name filtering options

Thanks to a suggestion from @chainsawsalad, new options --dat-exclude, --dat-regex, and --dat-regex-exclude have been added. The regex options in particular are helpful for only processing certain DATs within one archive of many DATs (e.g. No-Intro's daily download).

New game filtering options

As a follow-on to the above, new options --filter-regex and --filter-regex-exclude have been added. These help you match or exclude games based on their name, such as /SGB Enhanced/i or /(Mario|Metroid|Zelda)/i.

ROM header options & scanning fixes

Thanks to a bug report from @chainsawsalad, ROM headers won't be processed for archived ROMs that aren't being extracted or zipped. Previously, headered ROMs in archives would have matched an un-headered DAT, but the ROMs would have retained their header on copy or move.

Symlink fixes

• Symlinks in input directories are now followed, which is especially helpful for ROMs
• Symlinks in the output directory are now deleted correctly on clean
