Hello World!
With our month-long silence, you might be thinking that we have quite a lot of updates to share today… And you would be right about it ;)
The library itself saw a lot of improvements, and there is still a couple really nice things we’re working on right now:
2.8.2
* icon_extract_ico_from_exe: Suppress wrestool error output
* icon_get_resolution_from_file: Fix compatibility with scripts targeting
library version 2.7 or older in a more robust way than what has been done
in 2.8.1
* Fix typo in help(), that led to suboptimal wording when called on a script
with a single supported archive
2.8.1
* Fix icon_get_resolution_from_file and icons_linking_postinst compatibility
with scripts targeting library version 2.7 or older
* WINE: Do not remove links to $HOME for scripts targeting library version
2.7 or older
2.8.0
* Greatly reduce time taken by play.it meta-script to identify the correct
script for an archive, by using file name before falling back on MD5 hash
sum
* WINE: Remove most links pointing outside of the WINE prefix, to reduce
$HOME clutter
* Rework most icon-related code for easier understanding and maintenance
* Use ImageMagick to extract .png files from .ico containers
* Update dependencies automatic detection based on new icon extraction
methods
