(Bi-)Weekly update! (2020-05-18)

A large number of internal changes have landed, related to the memory management of how games are stored. There should be no visible changes, but if you run into any odd behaviour, feel free to report it! Other than that:

  • Theme API: All asset fields can now store multiple files (previously only videos and screenshots could do this). See also the documentation. screenshots and videos are now deprecated in favor of screenshotList and videoList -- they are still there for a while though, so no theme should break.
  • Metadata files: Added support for custom sorting order for Collections -- similarly to the sort_title of Games, Collections now have a sort_by field. sort_by is also available for Games as an alias for sort title, if you wish to make the two entry types look the same.
  • Theme API: Added a sortBy field to Collections and Games. sortTitle of Games is now deprecated (but not yet removed) in favor of this field.
  • LaunchBox: Fixed sort title not being set in some cases
  • LaunchBox: Fixed command line parameters not getting passed in certain cases
  • LaunchBox: Added support for images without numeric suffix (ie. other than SomeGame-01.jpg, SomeGame.jpg that older versions used also works)
  • Updated the documentation to follow last weeks' maintenance changes
  • Minor performance and memory usage improvements
