2.1.1 - 2011/02/18

  • When the interpreter needs to scale an image, it can now use bilinear
    filtering. This results in smoother images (without filtering, scaled
    images can appear pixelated or have other scaling artifacts). However, the
    configuration dialog provides an option to disable filtering, since it also
    makes scaled images appear less sharp.

  • The "Game Information" metadata viewer now supports and displays cover art
    images (as specified by the Treaty of Babel.) Also, the list of recognized
    names and values (like "Genre", "Headline", "Forgiveness", etc) should now
    be complete.

  • The list of recently played games now behaves a bit smarter; it will use
    the actual name from the game's meta data (if available) rather than the
    path/filename, and will also try to avoid duplicate entries (which can
    happen when symbolic links are used in the path and/or filename.)

  • Fixed a bug that resulted in games using the wrong font in some places.
    "Six Stories" is one example; it would previously use a wrong font for
    input, titles and statusbar.

  • It is now possible to use the main game font as input font through a new
    option found in the configuration dialog.

  • The file I/O safety level feature of the VM is now configurable through the
    configuration dialog.

  • The interpreter now correctly responds to game queries about whether
    graphics, audio and hyperlinks are currently enabled or disabled.
    Previously, the interpreter would always report that these features are
    enabled, making it impossible for games to adapt their behavior (for
    example "Six Stories" alters its behavior according to whether graphics and
    sound are enabled in the interpreter preferences.)

  • Fades and crossfades are now correctly advertised as being supported.
    Previously, the interpreter wrongly responded with "not supported" when a
    game was querying about it.

  • Fixed a rare crash that occured while entering non-latin characters.
