System requirements changes

There have been several updates to the components and tools Pegasus uses, and the official releases for certain platform has changed accordingly:

  • The minimal required Android release is now 5.0 (Lollipop, released in 2015)
  • The desktop Linux release is now built against Ubuntu 18.04
  • The Raspberry releases are now built against Debian Buster (eg. RetroPie 4.6)

Of course, you can always build Pegasus from source to support your particular setup.

Updates for package maintainers:

  • Pegasus now requires at least Qt 5.15.0
  • Removed the INSTALL_DATADIR configuration option. It wasn't really used since Pegasus is a single executable, and for config files there are plenty of directories supported already.
  • Added support for installing the readme and license files, by specifying the INSTALL_DOCDIR configuration option. For a global installation on Linux, the XDG spec recommends setting it to /usr/share/doc/pegasus-frontend.
  • INSTALL_ICONDIR should now be set to the common directory of the different icon sizes, eg. /usr/share/icons/hicolor/
