v2.3.0

Release Highlights

Feature: --dir-letter letter count & grouping options

Two new options have been added to further customize the --dir-letter option's behavior:

• --dir-letter-count lets you control how many letters to use for the subdirectory (with the default still being one letter)
• --dir-letter-group lets you create ranges of letters, with the existing --dir-letter-limit controlling how many files end up in each subdirectory

A new output path options docs page has been added to detail these new options and some existing options that didn't have proper documentation.

Thank you @ddcruver for the feature request!

Fix: ROMs of MAME BIOS machines should always be considered a BIOS ROM

@Nikoh77 found an issue with libretro's FinalBurn Neo DATs where ROMs of BIOS machines weren't being considered as BIOS files, which caused issues with ROM set merging & splitting. This has been fixed.

igir, and other open-source projects like it, are a labor of love. They wouldn't be nearly as meaningful without the community supporting them. Constructive feedback and general positivity will always be welcome. Be kind to others, and be kind to yourselves.
