New features:

  • rpcli, rp-stub, rp-thumbnailer-dbus: PNG images now have an sBIT chunk. Images without an alpha channel are now saved as RGB PNGs instead of ARGB, which usually results in a smaller file.
  • Some functions have been optimized using SSE2 and/or SSSE3.

New systems:

  • Sega PVR and GVR texture decoding.
  • Microsoft DirectDraw Surface decoding.
  • Nintendo Badge Arcade files.
  • Sega Dreamcast disc images. (Track 03 in ISO or BIN, and .GDI)
  • Sega Saturn disc images.
  • Atari Lynx ROM images. (Headered only)

See CHANGES.md for a full list of changes.

The Ubuntu packages have been moved from GitHub downloads to an Ubuntu Personal Package Archive. Builds are now available for Ubuntu 16.04 "Xenial" Xerus, Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty" Zappus, and Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful" Aardvark.

To add the PPA and install rom-properties, run the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gerbilsoft/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rom-properties-all

This will install all rom-properties frontends and executables. Individual frontends can be installed by installing the relevant rom-properties-* package.
