## v1.9
|
||||
## v2.0 - Stella Edition
|
||||
|
||||
This release adds a ton of new features, including ASTC and Godot textures,
|
||||
Commodore ROM cartridge images, and various performance improvements.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
This release is dedicated to my beagle, Stella, who sadly passed away on
|
||||
September 4, 2022.
|
||||
|
||||
The main change in this release is a refactoring of the commmon core code
|
||||
into a shared library (DLL) in order to reduce the total size of the shell
|
||||
extension. A new libromdata.so.1 (romdata-1.dll on Windows) library now
|
||||
contains most of the common code, separate from the UI frontends that handle
|
||||
each UI (rpcli, KDE, GTK, Windows).
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the libromdata ABI is *not* guaranteed to remain stable across
|
||||
releases, and it only exports symbols required for the UI frontends, not for
|
||||
general use with other programs. I will try to prevent major ABI breakages
|
||||
across releases, but if it happens, the SOVERSION will be incremented.
|
||||
|
||||
String tables have also been refactored to use less memory and reduce the
|
||||
number of relocations, which improves startup performance.
|
||||
|
||||
Aside from the low-level refactoring, there is now a GTK verson of rp-config
|
||||
for GTK desktops, Atari 7800 ROM header parsing, and assorted fixes for Lua,
|
||||
Nintendo 3DS, N64, and ELF, including fixes for big-endian systems.
|
||||

||||
Translators needed; file an issue if you'd like to get started on a new
|
||||
translation, or submit a Pull Request if you have a translation ready to go.
