DBGL

What is new in this release:

• Added support for both DOSBox 0.74-2 and 0.74-3; The Windows and MacOS builds now come with DOSBox 0.74-3.
• Fixed geting game and screenshot data from MobyGames.
• Removed TheGamesDB as a web data source (for the moment); their legacy API was recently taken down, and using their new API will require some work.
• Fixed sorting on column custom11..14 and exporting the data in those columns (hoarder).
• 0.90 is a major update! It's a partial rewrite of DBGL in an effort to make it more robust and future-proof. 32-bit Java support was dropped, and it requires Java 8 or newer to run. Furthurmore, some usability improvements got implemened, such as that DBGL will now display a list of all your changes when multi-editing profiles. Also, translation files can now be written directly in UTF-8 without the need for unicode/native2ascii. That being said, most of DBGL's user interface has remained the same.
• 0.90 also features improved database connection management which might prevent lockups when the database-file is temporarily unavailable (jtalbot).
• 0.90 adds more experimental DOSBox options: fullborderless, glfullsync, fmstrength, xsensitivity/ysensitivity, circularinput and deadzone. Added mame for oplemu and emsboard+emm386 for ems. Removed collapsemode (Ant_222) and fixed [midi]mt32.reverse.stereo, mt32.verbose, mt32.thread to use true/false instead of on/off.
• 0.90 features an option to override the default executable file for a DOSBox version, for example when using DOSBox-debug builds (RyanFialcowitz).

What is new in version 0.81:

• Added 4 new custom text-fields for profiles (RetroFAN).
• Always scale thumb to max dimensions fitting in the clientarea (display resolution), and auto center thumb dialog.
• Altered language dropdown in preferences dialog to also show the native language names.
• Show program version in about dialog (Giorgos).
• Added new XSL for profile-list export to HTML5 using a Vogons theme.
• Fix for setting 'fullresolution=desktop'; In some cases the 'fullresolution' dropdown in DBGL would not allow selection of the value 'desktop' (Jan-Peter).
• Fix for thumb/file order on Windows platform (marquisor).
• Fixed rare crash-bug when deleting thumb images (Neville).
• More accurately determine linux desktop folder for shortcuts (Giorgos).
• Fixed CSV profiles-list export column names (proper casing and proper custom labels).
• Fixed MobyGames profile reader for "Bong Bong" (no developer, no developer link in Credits section and no closing [add credits] link).
• Removed support for searching hotud.org now that the website is offline.
• Spanish translation update from Neville, French translation update by max buttjer.
• Updated SWT libs to 4.6.2.8, Jersey to 2.25.1, CommonsIO to 2.5, CommonsLang to 3.5 and JUnit to 4.12.

What is new in version 0.80:

• Added basic event logging and a new dialog (File->Log..) to view DBGL's log (history), sort it, filter it (right-click on a table field), enable or disable it, or clear the log.
• Implemented basic statistics for profiles, DOSBox versions and templates such as creation time, number of starts, etc.
• Fixed grabbing screenshots and cover-art from MobyGames.
• Many improvements for Linux and Mac users; Implemented alternative DOSBox startup mode for both platforms which should help when using for example YkhWong's DOSBox builds (Lewis). Also fixed the automatic creation of dosbox.conf for a newly added DOSBox version (Jan Baumann) and improved the logic for opening the associated application upon clicking a link.
• A workaround on Mac systems where browsing for the DOSBox executable inside a DOSBox.app wasn't very user-friendly. Now you should be able to simply point to your DOSBox.app (Jan Baumann).
• A few improvements for the Add Game Wizard: Allow for choosing the DOSBox version in the wizard when installing a game from source media, and fixed a weird error message when using CD cue+bin images located in the dosroot folder or below.
• Some minor GUI improvements here and there such as button sizes for high-dpi systems.
• Major cleanup of source code layout and the translation files. Updated SWT to 4.5.1 and commons-lang to 3.4.

What is new in version 0.79:

- Implemented DOSBox configuration sharing - share your DOSBox configurations with the community. A small database and HTTP RESTful service allows for submission and retrieval of configurations. The submissions are moderated by hand for the coming time. Once accepted, your submitted configurations become available to other DBGL users so that they can use them for setting up their game configuration. If you're a developer and are interested in using this public RESTful service, please contact me via Vogons or e-mail.
- Added support for the -fs and -size parameters when using the DOSBOx imgmount command. If you'd like to use the hdd image-mounting feature using an existing DBGL installation, you need to make a manual change in settings.conf. Please find the line for imgmount_type (around line 278) and add hdd, like so: imgmount_type=iso floppy hdd
- Added support for booting from a specific drive letter (for example 'boot hdd.img -l C').
- Fixed a regression (since version 0.75c) when using multiple booter images, on opening of the profile-editing dialog only the first image-file would be filled in.
- Refactored and improved boot/mount/imgmount command parsing.
- Improved opening links associated with a profile so that the correct external application is used (Jan Larres).
- Fixed importing GamePackArchives with very specific files on Windows systems (Neville).
- Fixed a couple of rare crash-issues, various minor interface improvements.
- Added a Greek translation by BraiNKilleR, a Slovenian translation from R33D3M33R, a Finnish translation from Joona Murtovaara and a Portugese-Brazillian translation by Odmar Miranda. Some translation improvements for Spanish and Polish done by Neville and ZeroX4.
- Upped the system requirements from Java 1.5 to Java 1.7.
- Updated launch4j, commons-io, commons-lang and Junit. A jersey-2.13 lib was added and SWT was updated to 4.4.2. On Linux systems, GTK2 is used in favor of GTK3, for the moment.
