Release Highlights

Fix: parent/clone inference with game "alternates"

@MrNoOneRed found that the GoodTools-style [a] and [a#] tags were not getting grouped into parent/clones with TOSEC DATs. This has been fixed.

Checksum cache updates

Feature: checksums of non-archives are now cached.

This is most helpful when copying or moving large files such as ISOs, or when calculating MD5/SHA1/SHA256 hashes.

Fix: test for cache write permissions.

Previously, igir would write its cache file to ./igir.cache. But it can't be assumed that this file path is writable, as reported by @TheBrainScrambler on NixOS. So now igir will fall back to writing the cache file to ~/igir.cache.

Token updates

Feature: new {romm} token.

@maxexcloo has added support for RomM, a web UI to help visualize ROM collections. As of writing, RomM does not have any mass ROM sorting functionality, so igir is a great choice to help organize RomM collections.

Feature: added "cracked" game type.

A new "cracked" game type has been added that will affect the {gameType} output token. Games considered "cracked" have had some copy protection removed, and by definition are not retail, so they will also be excluded by the --only-retail option. Thank you @MrNoOneRed for the feature suggestion!

Fix: "Famicom" and "Super Famicom" DATs.

"Nintendo Entertainment System" and "Super Nintendo Entertainment System" have been supported for a long time, but @kerobaros pointed out that "Famicom" and "Super Famicom" were not. This has been fixed.
