Release Highlights

First off, there's a new home for the project, igir.io! A lot of work has gone into documentation lately, and I'm quite proud of the website so far.

Feature: the ability to fetch DATs from URLs

If a DAT is always hosted at a stable location, such as a GitHub repo, you can now provide a URL to --dat. Archives with DATs in them are also supported! This is particularly helpful for libretro DATs and Hardware Target Game Database SMDBs.

Fixes: file moving deletion

When the output directory is the same as an input directory, don't delete moved files from the input directory.

This really only applies to files that have been matched by multiple DATs (e.g. No-Intro has some duplicates between Atari ST and Commodore Amiga).

Don't delete moved archives unless every file entry was matched by a DAT.

Instead, log a warning about why the file isn't being deleted. This way there is no file loss, files will only be deleted if their entire contents now exist somewhere else. Thank you @veraciousnottaken for the report!

Fix: delete the temp directory when exiting

The correct exit signal is trapped now, there should be no leftover temp cruft after exit.
