Release Highlights

This release had a fairly large refactor of how "candidates" (input files that have been matched to a game+ROMs) are handled. Please report any issues you experience.

Feature: new CLI logo!

The ASCII art logo has been updated to match Igir's logo on web:

Optimization: don't test renamed files

When Igir moves files around on the same hard drive, it uses a low-level OS operation such as rename(2), which can't result in invalid file contents. File renames either fully succeed, where the output file is guaranteed to be the same, or it fully fails and doesn't produce any output. In these instances, it isn't necessary to test the written file, which could result in some large time savings.

Fix: symlink absolute paths

@HeroponRikiBestest found a regression introduced in v3.1.0 that broke symlink absolute paths. This has been fixed.
