Update Steamback to 1.0.0

[geeksville]

Steamback

Steamback takes 'save game' snapshots every time a supported (Steam Cloud backup enabled) game exits. This allows users to rollback to previous save games as they wish. This is particularly useful for games that only have one current save and don't normally provide an option to roll-back to saves from 10mins or yesterday etc... It is also useful for games that have bugs that can corrupt save games. (Full readme/docs here)

Changes in this release

This release (the first in six months) has a major improvement which should extend coverage to 100% of Steam Cloud Backup enabled games. It was fixed based on a report by @FScot indicating that the "Dark Souls" game was no longer working with Steamback. In the process of debugging this bug, I bit the bullet and added support for multiple autobackup directories (which this game now uses)

This release also includes updates to use the global version of DFL rather than the older approach of the version linked into the project.

btw Decky Testers thank you for your hard work.

hi ya'll,

Is there any particular reason this change hasn't been reviewed yet? (no pressure - but I'm just trying to cross things off of my todo list. If it would help I'm happy to do code reviews of other plugins if you wanna trade off)

@PartyWumpus per our chat on discord, would you mind blessing this for appearing in the testing store? I've had a few users asking for it and I think the "here's a zip file try installing it" might not work for most of them.

This release improves the python code a bit but doesn't change the JS code at all (vs the previous blessed release).

I already put it on the testing store

Tried in a few games, on Steam OS 3.5 (preview channel) and haven't had any problems.

@outerwinnie thanks so much!

Anything else I need to do for this to be blessed for stable? I haven't been checking this GitHub much.

I currently just tell users to use the testing store.

None that I can see. Been busy with work stuff so my capabilities to review plugins has sharply decreased. Looks good to go from what I can tell.
