Features

Editor

  • render screen editor in multiple palettes, higher resolution d7438d4f3  

    The screen editor can now render multiple screens in different palettes at the same time. It also renders at a much higher resolution. This makes the zoom out feature much better.

    In case there are any regressions, this can be disabled via in the View menu: just uncheck "High Quality Screen Rendering".

  • add history navigation for viewed screens 7b0e5333d  

    You can now navigate recently viewed screens by using the side buttons on the mouse, or configuring the "Go back/forward" hotkeys.

Bug Fixes

Editor

  • remove frame of lag when opening tiles dialog 92971ff29

Build

  • disable more warnings in third party code a47d09046

Refactors

  • remove old go/combeback gui code 63955eb41
  • greatly improve refresh_rgb_tables cache 1fc2a0490  

    Also moved this code to base, so not just zplayer can take advantage of the caching.

  • speed up bitmap rendering by removing branch 414723096
  • speed up draw_tile16_unified afc3b2ca0
  • simplify overtile16 a70962ee3
  • speed up puttile16 2cfde4579
  • speed up drawtile16_cs2 0fd5749b7
  • speed up overtile8 1709eef08
  • cache bitmap used in overtile16_scale d0cb70c42
  • use vsnprintf instead of uvszprintf for text rendering 16771d9f4  

    The Unicode-aware allegro function makes text rendering ~40% slower, but we don't need Unicode here.

  • move most CLI commands to separate files, improve switch parsing 197ad760e

Player

  • speed up getFFCAt 0621ee781

  • split file stuff out of ffscript.cpp 9c8e7a12b
  • split sram stuff out of ffscript.cpp b131192e5

Editor

ZScript

  • remove idEnd to get rid of noisy compiler warning 0fd05985c

Tests

  • make new cpp test runner more modular fe8ddbe73

CI

  • remove broken nightly behavior in changelog script 49a4bed9d  

    The changelog script attempted to make a changelog since last stable for nightly releases, but it was broken and caused retried publish jobs to fail. Remove it. Besides, this exact same behavior is implemented correctly in package.py for nightlies, and it hasn't been needed in the changelog script.
