0.2.0-beta.2

Includes the latest developments from master:

• Support new file format for official metadata database
• Support metadata in "enriched" binary format (to avoid loosing too much data when transferring back from device)

0.1.17

• Support new file format for official metadata database
• Support metadata in "enriched" binary format (to avoid loosing too much data when transferring back from device)

0.1.16

• Supports latest official Luniistore driver (released on may 19th), hopefully for the last time before the custom driver takes over
• Fix home transition when saving story nodes with disabled home, which could create issue when converting back from binary to archive format (#100)

LUNII LIBRARIES MUST BE UPDATED TO USE THIS VERSION

0.2.0-beta.1

This beta version is the first version using a homegrown USB driver! 🎉

No more depending on the official driver is a big step for the project! At first, there will probably be a setback, as unavoidably bugs will be introduced. But I believe this is a necessary phase and a critical step for the project to thrive. As much as using the official driver was a great help to start the project, I believe it is now a burden, for a few reasons:

• the official driver is not a public API, and as such it is frequently subject to changes which can break STUdio
• for the same reason, using this driver is suboptimal and requires to jump through hoops
• finally, using this driver outside Luniistore may be frowned upon

Using our own driver means taking back the control, which means:

• no more breaking changes (as long as the device does not change its USB protocol, which seems highly unlikely, to say the least)
• cleaner code
• the possibility to fine-tune the driver over time
  As a matter of fact, I was able to use the async API of libusb to write this driver, which should already put less strain on the rest of the (server-side) application during USB communication. It should also be possible to implement a (lengthy, but still useful) defragmentation routine.

However, before I push this driver into the official release, I'll ask for your feedback. The driver will have to be tested against a variety of devices, especially with different firmware versions, to tackle the remaining corner cases. I you're willing to help, please let me know in issue #97.

Other improvements is this release:

• Automatically open browser when the app starts (unless instructed otherwise with a system property)

• Other tiny fixes

0.1.13

• Fix locked model when editing a node title (#37)
• More robust image conversion (#42)
• Fix character encoding (#29)
• Fix transfer from device to library (avoid reordering at the same time)
• Improved logs
• In-browser bug report from error toasts
• Improved scripts

0.1.11

Fix an issue with when saving pack in editor

0.1.10
