Alpha 1.0.5.5

Changes since last release:

• Fixes for DB Builder/Rule Editor - remove time data from SteamDB
• Improvements for DB Builder & Rule Editor. Empty nested dictionaries are now purged, as well as the Steam update data not being populated by DB Builder. Next release will have more feature to improve that function of RimSort.
• This release is more intended as a test of the updater now that it is fixed on Windows. Please test updating from 1.0.5.4 -> 1.0.5.5 with RimSort "Check for updates" button especially if you are on Windows!

Alpha 1.0.5.5 (Linux Wayland hotfix)

Here is a release for people on Linux having issues running RimSort on Wayland. I will keep this in mind in my future builds.

  • RimSort will load these rules from external metadata if configured

Alpha v1.0.4

Changes since last release:

• Changes to distribute.py
  • If you want to build Steamworks with distribute.py (recommended) you need to manually remove the commented function call in distribute.py
  • Nuitka is still the default "freeze" utility, however, we are going to not use --onefile by default anymore. This will result in faster startup times, even though the payloads will no longer be compressed - basically, faster, but larger file size

  • Properly escape ANSI sequences in any applications run using the RunnerPanel
