R5.07 released!
This update (codenamed Sparrow 2), is focussing on streamlining the build process and be more flexible (useful for future features down the pipeline).
- Added the option to generate a manifest for the itch.io app.
- This tells the app which executable to launch, alongside installing the latest version of DirectX.
- This also addresses the issue for games that don't use compression, where the app asks which executable to launch.
- If the package.json file is missing the required details, a window to fill them in will show up.
- Re-tooled the Halva's package management to be more flexible.
- Slightly re-tooled the file catalog loading mechanism.
- The option for the strict cache checking is opt-in now.
- Fixed an error, where the "Verifying cache..." text is shown on the bootstrap window briefly, when it's not necessary.
