2.9.0 Release

New Feature

• Now you will be prompted with an option for how you want the updater to handle new cores. Automatically accept them, automatically skip them, or prompt you if there's new cores whenever you run the app.
• This setting can be updated by running the core selector

Special thanks to @LoneBoco for this one

2.8.1 bug fix release

when you run the core selector in 2.8.0 you need to quit the app and run it again for the choices to take effect.
this is fixed in 2.8.1

2.8.0 Release

New features

• Added a menu to make it easier to choose what option you want to run. this was long overdue. i'm lazy
• Added an option to download available image packs
• Added a new cli parameter to skip the menu and just run the update process, the way it used to work. -u

2.7.0 Release

New Feature

• Uninstall all skipped cores. Keep your openFPGA menu clean by removing unwanted cores. Setting is on by default. Can be disabled by setting config.delete_skipped_cores to false

2.6.2 Patch Release

Bug Fix: Core selector works with pram0d's cores, now.

2.6.1 Release

Last release accidentally contained something unfinished that caused it to not download some asset files. Should be fixed, now
who needs qa? just release it broken, and then release a patch the next day

2.6.0 Release

• MacOS build is now a universal binary. Please let me know if this causes any issues for anyone.

• First step toward supporting cores hosted in a single repository, without using releases. It's kind of a hack and inelegant right now, but whatever i dont care

Translation: The pram0d cores are supported now (snow bros 2 and garegga)

2.5.0 release

Moved to v1 of the openFPGA Cores API
This will cut down on github api usage, significantly. and pretty much avoid all rate limit issues so you won't need to worry about setting up a github token, anymore

Thats it really. sorry, boring update

2.4.0 release

Minor updates

• config.preserve_images is now config.preserve_platforms_folder. you can delete the old setting if you want, it won't do anything. Now it preserves the entire Platforms directory instead of just the images directory inside it
• Core allow prerelease flag is set to false by default

2.3.0 release

mostly doing this to test my automated build script

but there's 1 new feature:

Preserve Images Folder

go into the settings json file and set config.preserve_images to true and the updater won't overwrite the Platforms/_images directory with updates, so you can keep your custom images
It can also be set by using -i as a cli parameter
