### Bug fixes

* Setting a really small font size in a theme would crash the application
* When scraping in interactive mode with "Auto-accept single game matches" enabled, the game name could not be refined if there were no games found
* When scraping in interactive mode, the game counter was not decreased when skipping games, making it impossible to skip the final games in the queue

* When scraping in interactive mode, any refining done using the "Y" button shortcut would not be shown when doing another refine using the "Refine search" button
* Fixed multiple minor rendering issues where graphics would be slightly cut off or incorrectly resized
* Under some circumstances ScrollableContainer (used for the game descriptions) would contain a partially rendered bottom line
* If the TextListComponent height was not evenly dividable by the font height + line spacing, a partial bottom row would get rendered
* The line spacing for TextListComponent was incorrectly calculated for some resolutions such as 2560x1440
* Fixed multiple issues with scaling of images which lead to various inconsistencies and sometimes cut-off graphics
* Removing games from custom collections did not remove their filter index entries
* Input consisting of only whitespace characters would get accepted by TextEditComponent which led to various strange behaviors
* Leading and trailing whitespace characters would not get trimmed from the collection name when creating a new custom collection
* Leading and trailing whitespace characters would get included in scraper search refines and TheGamesDB searches
* Game name (text) filters were matching the system names for collection systems if the "Show system names in collections" setting was enabled
* Brackets such as () and [] were filtered from game names in collection systems if the "Show system names in collections" setting was enabled
* Fixed multiple issues where ComponentGrid would display incorrect help prompts
* Help prompts were missing for the "Rating" and "Release date" fields in the metadata editor
* There was some strange behavior in DateTimeEditComponent when changing the date all the way down to 1970-01-01
* When navigating menus, the separator lines and menu components did not align properly and moved up and down slightly
* Under some circumstances and at some screen resolutions, the last menu separator line would not get rendered (still an issue at extreme resolutions like 320x240)
* When scrolling in menus, pressing other buttons than "Up" or "Down" did not stop the scrolling which caused all sorts of weird behavior
* With the menu scale-up effect enabled and entering a submenu before the parent menu was completely scaled up, the parent would get stuck at a semi-scaled size
* The custom collection deletion screen had incorrect row heights when running at lower resolutions such as 1280x720
* If there was an abbreviated full system name for the "Gamelist on startup" option, that abbreviation would also get displayed when opening the selector window
* Really long theme set names would not get abbreviated in the UI settings menu, leading to a garbled "Theme set" setting row
* Disabling a collection while its gamelist was displayed would lead to a slide transition from a black screen if a gamelist on startup had been set
* When marking a game to not be counted in the metadata editor and the game was part of a custom collection, no collection disabling notification was displayed
* SliderComponent did not properly align the knob and bar vertically
* Resizing in SwitchComponent did not reposition the image properly leading to a non-centered image

* The sizing of the metadata editor was strange, which was clearly visible when activating the Ctrl+G debug mode
* The "sortname" window header was incorrectly spelled when editing this type of entry in the metadata editor
* When the last row of a menu had its text color changed, this color was completely desaturated when navigating to a button below the list

## Version 1.1.0

**Release date:** 2021-08-10

### Release overview

The 1.1 release brings many large changes including a fullscreen media viewer, a game launch screen, a miximage generator, a new video player and a new controller API featuring automatic controller configuration and controller profiles.

A much better mechanism to find emulators and emulator cores has been implemented as well, which among other things removes the need to manually modify the Path variable on Windows to find RetroArch. It also eliminates the requirement for a separate Flatpak-specific es_systems.xml file on Linux.

There are also several changes under the hood, such as the addition of the CImg image processing library, automatic code formatting of the entire codebase using clang-format, change of language standard from C++11 to C++14 and lots of general code refactoring.

Apart from this, numerous small improvements and bug fixes are part of the release, as detailed below.

### Detailed list of changes

* Added a miximage generator that can be run automatically from the scraper and which includes comprehensive options, configurable from the menu
* Added an offline generator GUI for the miximage generator which can be used for bulk miximage generation without going via the scraper
* Added a fullscreen game media viewer
* Added a game launch screen that displays the marquee image, the game name and the system name
* Added a new video player based on FFmpeg
* Added a 60 FPS frame rate upscaler option to the video player which results in slightly smoother playback for low frame rate videos (e.g. 24 and 30 FPS)
* Implemented a new mechanism for locating emulators and cores, with configurable find rules (this eliminates some hacks such as the separate Flatpak es_systems.cfg file)
* Added a Windows-specific find rule that searches the Registry for the App Paths keys, which eliminates the need to modify the Path manually to find RetroArch
* Removed the deprecated %COREPATH% setting and corresponding menu entry
* The "Run in background (while game is launched)" option can now be enabled on all operating systems instead of only on Windows
* Added a workaround for a game launch issue on Windows when using AMD and Intel GPUs
* Moved to the SDL GameController API which gives numerous improvements to the controller handling
* Default controller configuration is now automatically applied, input configuration should rarely if ever be required any longer except for deliberate button customization
* Added support for selecting the controller type (Xbox, Xbox 360, PS4, PS5 and SNES), which changes the help icons, help text and the input configuration tool icons and text
* Added an option to limit the input in ES-DE to only the first controller (this does not affect the emulators)
* Switched the order of the "Back" and "Start" buttons (or equivalents) in the input configurator to align with the other button entries which go from left to right
* Added separate controller deadzone values for the triggers and thumbsticks
* Removed the startup notification regarding default keyboard mappings being in use, instead default mappings are now considered the recommended input configuration
* The controller input configuration is not automatically started any longer if there is no es_input.cfg file or if there are no applicable configuration entries in the file
* Increased the max allowed size for images when scraping, which should now only downscale files which really need it
* Changed the resampling algorithm for image downscaling for the scraper from bilinear to Lanczos which results in noticeably sharper images
* Added a configurable option to automatically retry scraping up to eight times in case of ScreenScraper TLS errors
* Changed the button for jumping to a random system or game and added a setting for enabling or disabling the functionality altogether
* The help text for the "A" button now shows "Enter" instead of "Launch" in the grouped custom collections view
* Added navigation sounds for some actions where it was missing, such as when attempting to add folders, placeholders or systems to custom collections
* Changed the custom collection "Jump to" navigation sound to the select sound instead of the scroll sound
* A notification is now displayed in the grouped custom collections view if a filter is applied to the selected collection
* Changed the default screensaver type from "dim" to "video" and made the fallback screensaver "dim" instead of "black"
* Moved the video screensaver audio setting to the sound settings menu
* Added support for the Nintendo Switch game system (using the Yuzu emulator)
* Added an option to use plain ASCII characters for the favorite, folder and tickmark symbols, which makes some themes with very pixelated fonts look coherent
* Created a new main menu entry for input device settings
* Moved the input device configuration tool to the input device settings menu
* Adjusted the size and position of the various menus to accomodate one additional entry on the screen
* The quit menu is now disabled by default, instead showing the "Quit EmulationStation" entry unless configured otherwise
* Removed the "Display game media from ROM directories" setting as it doesn't make sense to support this legacy functionality any longer
* Added support for using the %ESPATH% and %ROMPATH% variables in the slideshow screensaver custom image directory setting
* Improved scaling relative to the screen aspect ratio for various GUI components which enhances the layout on 4:3 displays and ultrawide monitors
* Removed the menu fade-in effect as it looked terrible
* Enabled the menu scale-up effect for the OpenGL ES renderer
* Renamed es_systems.cfg, es_settings.cfg and es_input.cfg to es_systems.xml, es_settings.xml and es_input.xml
* Changed the es_systems.xml logic so it loads from the program resources directory by default (a customized file can be placed in ~/.emulationstation/custom_systems)
* Added a %HIDEWINDOW% variable which can be used in the es_systems.xml file on Windows, primarily intended for hiding console windows when launching scripts
* Added support for using the %ESPATH% variable in the media directory setting
* Removed the marquee image from rbsimple-DE as it's now baked into the miximages
* Set the gamelist video scanline rendering option to disabled by default
* Changed the setting description for the favorites game toggling button
* Simplified and improved the setup of portable installations on Windows
* Converted all navigation sound files to stereo as previously it was a mix of mono and stereo files (done for rbsimple-DE and the fallback sounds)
* The themes and scripts directories are now automatically created during startup
* Cleaned up some application startup messages
* The application version is now saved to es_settings.xml, which can be used in the future to notify the user after upgrades to a newer release
* Added a DebugSkipInputLogging option which is intended primarily for development and needs to be manually set in es_settings.xml
* Added the CImg library as a Git subtree and created some utility functions for it (used by the miximage generator and the game launch screen)
* Added a function to ImageComponent to crop fully transparent areas around an image
* Added and clarified startup log warnings for missing or invalid es_systems.xml platform tags
* Added a CMake option to control whether the VLC video player should be built, and set this to off by default
* Made it possible to build on the Raspberry Pi 4 (tested on Raspberry Pi OS)
* Removed the deprecated VideoOmxComponent
* Removed the pointless APPLE_SKIP_INSTALL_LIBS CMake option
* Added a clang-format style configuration file to use for automatic code formatting
* Formatted the entire codebase using clang-format
* Integrated clang-tidy with CMake and made it possible to enable it via a flag
* Added the NanoSVG library as a proper Git subtree
* Changed the language standard from C++11 to C++14

### Bug fixes

* Marking all games as favorites for a system or folder or removing all favorite markings would sometimes crash the application
* Scraping new game media using the single-game scraper followed by a re-scrape that was aborted could crash the application
* The scraper search could be refined or skipped after the result was accepted which sometimes crashed the application
* Attempting to load a non-existent font file defined by the theme crashed the application instead of using the bundled font as fallback

## Version 1.0.1

**Release date:** 2021-05-01

### Release overview

v1.0 maintenance release.

### Detailed list of changes

* Added support for the new RetroArch v1.9.2 default core directory location on macOS

### Bug fixes

* Fixed high DPI display support on macOS

## Version 1.0.0

**Release date:** 2021-04-20

### Release overview

First release, a major update to the application compared to the RetroPie version on which it is based. This includes new gamelist sorting logic, new game media handling and an updated Windows port as well as a macOS port. The menu system has also been completely overhauled and the scraper has been expanded to support multiple media types as well as providing detailed scraping configuration options.

Full navigation sound support has been implemented, and the metadata editor has seen a lot of updates including color coding of all changes done by the user and by the scraper. Favorite games can now also be sorted on top of the gamelists and game collections.

OpenGL GLSL shader support has been added (not for the OpenGL ES renderer though) and there are multiple effects implemented such as scanlines for videos, blurred background when opening menus etc.

A new default theme rbsimple-DE (based on Recalbox Multi) is bundled with the application and is part of the installation package/installer. Theme sets created for the RetroPie EmulationStation fork will still work.

Many bugs have been fixed, and numerous features that were only partially implemented or broken have been updated to a fully working state. The application runs much faster as well due to lots of optimizations.

* The audio volume control did not detect if there was a new default audio device or if the audio volume had been changed outside ES-DE
* The scraper didn't handle error conditions correctly
* The metadata editor insisted that changes had been made although nothing was updated

* Fixed an annoying gamelist issue that caused the game images and data to be updated and rendered up to six times every time the list was scrolled
* Not all input events were logged when running with debug logging activated
* Unknown command line options were silently accepted instead of halting the application startup and logging an error
* Added a sanity check to the --resolution flag to keep the resolution within reason (and to avoid crashes when making a typo for this parameter)
* Deleting a game from the metadata editor did not delete the game media files or its entry in the gamelist.xml file
* Hidden files still showed up if they had a gamelist.xml entry
* Fixed multiple instances of misaligned GUI elements on high-resolution displays due to the use of fixed-pixel constants

## Known issues

**The issues below are relevant for ES-DE v1.1.0**

* There is an issue with launching games on Windows when using AMD and Intel GPUs. This causes the emulator to just output a blank screen. There is a workaround available for this which is enabled by default and that can be disabled via the menu option "AMD and Intel GPU game launch workaround". The drawback of this workaround is that a white instead of a black screen will be displayed when launching games. If using an Nvidia GPU, it should be safe to disable this option for a slightly better user experience. An alternative workaround is to enable the option "Run in background (while game is launched)".

* On Windows when using high DPI displays, if not running ES-DE on the primary monitor and the display where it runs does not have the same scaling percentage as the primary monitor, then the ES-DE resolution will not be properly set. The application will still work and if running in fullscreen mode it may not even be noticeable. This issue is caused by a bug in SDL where the primary display scaling is always used for calculating the display bounds and as such it needs to be fixed in that library. If using the same scaling percentage across all monitors, or if not using high DPI monitors at all, then this issue will not occur.
