* Add GLM library dependency for matrix and vector operations, decommissioning the built-in functions
* Move to SDL2 GameController API
* Improve full-screen support, remove the temporary full screen hacks
* Better shader support (more adaptive to screen resolution, higher performance, cleaner code)
* Decals highlighting things like favorite games, completed games etc. (will require theme support)
* Mix image generation based on screenshots, 3D boxes and marquee files (as in Skyscraper)
* Improve full-screen support, remove the temporary full screen hacks
* Proper game launching screen
* On-screen keyboard
* Web proxy support for the scraper
* Checksum support for the scraper to verify each file before accepting/saving it
* Requests per minute limitation setting for the scraper
* Different button graphics applied depending on controller type (Xbox, PlayStation and SNES style)
* Ability to show game media in full screen from the gamelist view
* Preload all built-in resources and never clear them from the cache
* Improve text and font functions, e.g. faster and cleaner line wrapping code
* Checksum support for the scraper to verify each file before accepting/saving it
* Move to the SDL2 GameController API
#### v1.2
* Decals highlighting things like favorite games, completed games etc. (will require theme support)
* On-screen keyboard
* Different button graphics and names applied depending on controller type (Xbox, PlayStation and SNES style)
* Web proxy support for the scraper
* Support for pre-defined alternative emulators and cores (configured in es_systems.cfg)

* Add to Linux repositories, BSD ports collections etc.
#### v1.3
* Internationalization/multi-language support
* Complete overhaul of the grid view style
* A nice and useful grid view implementation in rbsimple-DE

* Support for pre-defined alternative emulators and cores (configured in es_systems.cfg)
* Support for additional scraper services (if feasible?)
* Authoring tools to clean up orphaned gamelist entries, media files etc.
