Announcements / Version 2.4 sneaking in!
« on: July 18, 2018, 12:04:33 AM »
Hello there!  The team is please to announce the release of version 2.4 of Attract-Mode, available now from the download link on attractmode.org!  We even think we've got the Mac OS X bundle building again (fingers crossed)!

There are lots of great new features and bug fixes with this release, we hope you enjoy.   There are also a couple of potential wrinkles we want to warn you about:

With this release, Attract-Mode is now looking for game overview information in a different place then previously, so if you are upgrading an existing installation you will likely need to re-scrape the artwork or regenerate a romlist for a given emulator before the frontend will be able to find any game overview information related to that emulator again.

There has also been a change to how the the "zorder" attribute works in layouts, by popular request.  The new way makes much more sense and hopefully will not adversely affect existing layouts.  If you are seeing overlapping images and/or texts no longer drawing in the correct order in your favourite layout after your upgrade, this is likely the cause and the layout script will have to be adjusted to fix how it is setting zorders.

cheers!

By popular demand (!?) and hot on the heels of 2.0, we have ourselves a new release of the Attract-Mode frontend!

Version 2.1.0 freshens things up a bit and adds some new features we think are kind of cool: support for using unlimited key/button/joystick combos to trigger commands and improved menu navigation controls....

NOTE FOR UPGRADERS: If you are upgrading from a previous version, chances are you will have to redo your joystick-based control mappings.
