About Games
===========
Games is a GNOME 3 application to browse your video games library and
to easily pick and play a game from it.
News
====
* The way the games collection is built has been completely reworked to
replace the GameSource types generating Game objects from any way of
the implementation's choice by the trio of UriSource, UriGameFactory
and GameCollection. UriSource generate URIs from any way of the
implementation's choice, UriGameFactory generate Game objects from
URIs and GameCollection acting as a glue between the two. This new
flexibility in the creation of the games collection helped to simplify
the way many game types were defined and helped to introduce new game
sources to the collection.
* Game URIs can now be passed as command line arguments, allowing your
game files to be opened with Games from your file manager. The game
will be automatically started by doing so.
* Add a "Add game files" button to the collection view, allowing you to
add game files from the collection view to the collection.
* Game resources passed via the command line or the "Add game files"
button are stored in a database and restored when starting the
application. This allows Games to see your games even if its game
resources detection mechanisms failed.
* Introduction of RetroSimpleType to replace many very similar plugins
by this simple and easier to maintain generic implementation of the
Libretro based game types.
* Supported games:
- Add support for Atari Lynx, MS-DOS, WonderSwan and WonderSwan Color
games.
- Improve the detection of PlayStation discs by parsing them as an
emulator would instead of using lucky guessing the location of the
required information in the disc.
- Don't display desktop games setting the NoDisplay or Hidden keys.
* Gamepad:
- Port the gamepad handling system from Vala to C to avoid using Vala's
preprocessor as it is poorly handled by the autotools, resulting in
broken tarballs.
- Make gamepads send events similar to GdkEvent.
- Replace the custom input types by the Linux event codes.
* UI:
- Use the more appropriate GtkMessageDialog instead of GtkDialog for
most of the existing custom dialogs.
- Refine the look of MediaSelector, using checkmarks to denote the
currently used media.
- Use theme relative colors for the games collection.
- Drop a useless sorting invalidation in CollectionIconView, which
makes the game collection loads a bit faster.
* Improved logging of the Libretro cores by using the Core.log() signal
with the retro_g_log() function which have been introduced in
retro-gtk recently. This will log messages from the Libretro core with
the core's name as the log domain instead of GNOME Games.
* Improve the parameters passed to the grep command to avoid injections.
* Bump retro-gtk to 0.12.
* Bump tracker-sparql to 2.0.
* Bugs fixed:
