release 0.0.99
Bugfixes:
- configuration:
- fix the deprecated 'loop' option to work as described in the manpage:
'loop=2' selects range loop mode, not single loop mode
- build process:
- fix version number detection in GitHub CI builds
Enhancements:
- automatically build Windows binaries and add them to the GitHub
release page (marked experimental for now)

- loop mode can be changed interactively (use the 'l' key)
- display pause status when playback is paused
- display current loop mode
- add i18n
- configuration:
- deprecate 'loop' option in gbsplayrc in favor of new 'loop_mode'
with values 'none', 'range' and 'single'
- add 'play_mode' option to gbsplayrc with values 'linear', 'random'
and 'shuffle'
- support 'native', 'little' and 'big' values for 'endian' option in
gbsplayrc instead of just 'n', 'l' and 'b'

- add LICENCE to tarball

release version 0.0.97
Bugfixes:
- gbs core:
- fix noise channel LSFR for more faithful drumtracks in most ROMs
- fix generated MIDI files being ~1.5% too slow
- reset cartridge RAM on subsong change to prevent the state of a
subsong from influencing later subsongs
- gbsplay
- fix display of unknown version number (gbsplay -V)
Enhancements:
- build process
- display version number during configure
- automatically provide a .tar.gz on the GitHub release page that
contains proper version information like the old manual releases
release version 0.0.96
Bugfixes:
- build process:
- fix build errors of devdsp plugout on FreeBSD
Enhancements:
- gbsplay:
- add PipeWire plugout
- add application and filename to audio stream metadata
(currently works with PipeWire, PulseAudio and with SDL2 depending
on the configured audio backend)
- build process:
- add automated build pipeline for FreeBSD (arm64)

release version 0.0.95
Bugfixes:
- gbsplay:
- fix octaves in note display during playback
- fix segfaults on status display for files other than .gbs
- don't set up the terminal if stdout is redirected
- fix duplicate handling of keystrokes
- dsound plugout:
- fix buffer handling (fixes choppy and too fast playback)
- MIDI plugouts:
- fix notes getting out of sync from accumulated rounding errors
- fix 'sound off' (NR52) to affect all channels instead of channel 2 only
- fix octaves of exported notes (not perfect since wave data on channel 3
could contain repetitions resulting in higher octaves)
- stdout plugout:
- fix newline conversion of binary data on MINGW
- gbs core:
- fix envelope volume in channel retrigger
- fix off-by-one error in gbhw_io_peek (fixes verbose WAVE display)
- fix sign extension bug in byte swapping (fixes endian change via -E)
- fix small memory leak from impulse buffer
- fix missing sound with ROMs using ugetab's VBlank timing
- fix hex dump endianess in debug output
- fix possible duplicate free() on zlib compressed data
- always use 64 bits for cycle counter (fixes overflow issues on MINGW32)
- free ROM buffer on exit
- libgbs:
- install libgbs.h alongside the shared library to make it usable
- build process:
- don't run depend.sh before config.mk is included
- only enable i18n if it really works
- only build with -fstack-* protections if they really work
- fix Windows builds on MSYS2, MINGW32 and MINGW64
- fix library path detection on macOS
- fix SDL2 detection
- documentation:
- fix typos in manpage
Removals:
- gbsplay:
- remove unmaintained splint annotations
- remove regparm optimizations
- remove usleep() usage, use nanosleep() instead (it's more POSIX)
- gbsxmms:
- finally remove XMMS plugin sourcecode that has been declared broken in 2008
Enhancements:
- gbsplay:
- add SDL2 plugout
- remove unneeded dsound3d dependency from dsound plugin
- add WAV writer plugout
- add VGM writer plugout
- support channel mute in MIDI output plugins
- suppress unneeded endian changes between player routine and audio plugouts
- allow repetition of single subsongs (gbsplay -L)
- loop mode can be changed interactively (use the 'l' key)
- display pause status when playback is paused
- display '99:99' as remaining time when no subsong timeout is set
- enforce minimum subsong timeout when playing actual ROMS
(otherwise gbsplay might quit before the bootrom beep is played)
- gbs core:
- transparent decompression of gzip-compressed files
- basic VGM file playback support
- implement DIV register emulation
- add example ROM source using SDCC (see examples/sdcc)
- increase impulse data resolution
- support different cartridge types like MBC1 and MBC3 in ROM mapper
- don't limit rombank range in the gbs mapper
- remove home-grown extended header support for GBS files
- add support for dumped ROMs (no controls, first song only)
- libgbs:
- clean up libgbs (still ongoing, so no 1.0.0 yet)
- support reentrancy to render multiple files simultaneously
(test cases to prove this is working are still missing)
- generate pkg-config configuration
- install API documentation (needs doxygen)
- xgbsplay:
- add simple X11 frontend (configure --with-xgbsplay)
- and replace it by a better looking xcb/cairo frontend
(dig through the sources before commit 840f894 to
get the initial simple X11 frontend v1)
- gbs2gb:
- experimental tool to convert .gbs files to .gb ROMs
- build process:
- depend on bash 3.x for configure script
- add automated build pipelines for Linux, macOS and
Windows (MSYS2, MINGW32, MINGW64 and CygWin)
- test for successful builds
- test plugout configuration
- test some configure options
- test install and uninstall targets
- calculate code coverage
- use command -v instead of homegrown which replacement
- add tests to catch regressions in file writer plugouts
- add verbose build mode (configure --build-verbose)
- documentation:
- the mailing list is gone, please contact us on GitHub
- update INSTALL.md instructions and information
