Release Highlights
New --dir-letter-limit option added
This new option lets you specify the maximum number of ROMs per --dir-letter subdirectory. Some ROM cart devices and FPGA cores may have memory limitations around opening directories with many ROMs.
This new option will split subdirectories like this:
Output/A/
Output/B1/
Output/B2/
Output/C/
Output/D1/
Output/D2/
Output/D3/
Thank you, @21millStreets, for the feature request!
New --only-* options
Every existing --no-* ROM filtering option now has a matching --only-* option. The full list of new options is:
--only-device--only-unlicensed--only-demo--only-beta--only-sample--only-prototype--only-test-roms--only-aftermarket--only-homebrew--only-unverified--only-bad
Thank you, @21millStreets, for the feature request!
Redump-style revisions are now supported
Redump uses letters rather than numbers for some revisions, and they use ring codes to differentiate some releases. Examples:
Sega Classics Arcade Collection - Limited Edition (Europe) (Rev A)
Quiz Scramble Special (Japan) (Rev B)
Dungeon Master II - Skullkeep (USA) (RE3)
Sonic CD (USA) (RE125)
Both types of numbering schemes are now parsed as revision numbers for the --prefer-revision-newer and --prefer-revision-older options.

igir, and other open-source projects like it, are a labor of love. They wouldn't be nearly as meaningful without the community supporting them. Constructive feedback and general positivity will always be welcome. Be kind to others, and be kind to yourselves.
