# Changelog
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0),
and this project roughly adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
Bugfixes and minor improvements will increment the patch version.
New features will increment the minor version.
Breaking changes (**except for savestates**) will increment the major version;
a design goal is to avoid a 2.x release for as long as possible.
## [Unreleased]
### Changed
- Updated melonDS to commit [824eb37](https://github.com/melonDS-emu/melonDS/tree/824eb37).
- **BREAKING:** The savestate format has changed.
Savestates from previous versions are incompatible with this one.
Please save your progress in-game before updating.
### Fixed

[#205](https://github.com/JesseTG/melonds-ds/issues/205)
## [1.1.5] - 2024-07-25
### Fixed
- Fixed system files from other cores
being incorrectly treated as NDS firmware images,
which resulted in strange behavior when such a file was chosen.
[#183](https://github.com/JesseTG/melonds-ds/issues/183)
## [1.1.4] - 2024-07-08
### Changed
- Updated the "DSi NAND Path" core option description to clarify the role of the no$gba footer.
### Fixed
- Fixed some log entries not being output with a newline.
- Fixed a crash when using a hybrid screen layout with a screen ratio of 3:1.
- Fixed DSi NAND images not being recognized if they lacked a no$gba footer
despite having equivalent data at offset 0xFF800. [#195](https://github.com/JesseTG/melonds-ds/issues/195)
- Fixed the screen being rendered when using the OpenGL renderer while the emulated lid is closed,
which caused flickering in some games. [#214](https://github.com/JesseTG/melonds-ds/issues/214)
## [1.1.3] - 2024-06-14
### Fixed
- Fixed a crash that would occur when attempting to use the OpenGL renderer on some GPUs. [#203](https://github.com/JesseTG/melonds-ds/issues/203)
## [1.1.2] - 2024-06-12
### Fixed
- Fixed a bug where native BIOS images would be used
when the core was supposed to fall back to built-in system files.
- Fixed a bug where GBA SRAM wouldn't be loaded.
- Fixed a bug where the core would crash when trying to load the error screen
while using the OpenGL renderer.
## [1.1.1] - 2024-02-29
### Fixed
- Fixed a bug where the core would crash
when RetroArch autosaves after a reset.
## [1.1.0] - 2024-02-13
### Added
- Added a subsystem for loading a GBA ROM without save data.
- Added options to configure the emulated console's starting time.
The starting time can be the local time (possibly with an offset) or an absolute time.
- Added the ability to synchronize the emulated console's time with the host system's time.
### Fixed
- Fixed an issue where some homebrew would be incorrectly detected as DSiWare,
resulting in a crash.
- Fixed an issue where trying to load an NDS ROM and a GBA ROM
without GBA save data would fail.
## [1.0.3] - 2024-01-30
### Fixed
- Fixed an issue where most screen gap sizes would not be honored.
- Fixed an issue where usernames with non-ASCII characters would crash the core
or be improperly truncated.
Such names are now properly converted to UCS-2 if possible,
or else the default username is used instead.
## [1.0.2] - 2024-01-19
### Changed
- Add support for screen gaps between 0 and 126 pixels, inclusive.
128-pixel gaps are no longer available due to
libretro limits on how many core option values can be defined.
### Fixed
- Fixed an issue where the emulated console could not connect to the network.
## [1.0.1] - 2024-01-12
### Fixed

First stable release.
### Fixed
- Rename the Android build artifact to `melondsds_libretro_android.so`
to adhere to libretro's naming conventions.
If you installed it manually, be sure to remove the older release.
- Fixed an issue where the version number would be displayed incorrectly
in the core information menu.
