[NEWS] WiiFlow 2.2 r379- Forum

- 356:
* Cache fixes:
- Fixed loading/saving cache
- On startup the game folder is scanned for changes from outside wiiflow and
cache will be rebuilded if necessary
* Fixed "return to" function for pop

- 357:
* Added WiiTDB and ZipFile classes by dimok (thanx)
* Added callback to find a title of an installed game instead of reading the
first bytes from disc. Should speed up first time loading
* Changed WiiTDB implementation

- 358:
[No log message]

- 359:
* Fixed issue only recognizing one game on a wbfs partition
* Temporarily disabled callback to get custom names/id's from titles.ini. It
caused a lot of other issue (no titles in cover view, corrupted titles, sort
problems)

- 360:
* Fixed typo in WiiTDB.cpp (sorry)

- 361:
* Looking up base IOS fixed by xabby666 (thanx).

- 362:
* Updated source to use libogc 1.8.7 (YOU SHOULD ALL UPDATE LIBOGC NOW)
* Changed titles.ini and custom_titles.ini to a DEFINE in defines.h
* Removed iosDestroyHeap, since tantric says we can't use it anymore
- Beautified mload.c

- 363:
* Missed a diropen, changed it to opendir.

- 364:
* Compiled portlibs with r23 (DKP)
* Added fatfile_frag.h header to frag.c

- 365:
* Fixed a bug with the new opendir, readdir, closedir stuff (S_ISDIR cannot be
used anymore).
* Fixed compile warnings in list.cpp

- 366:
* Added another scan to the cache to speed up loading for users with invalid
entries
* Replaced callback. Cache now uses new WiiTDB code for getting titles
* Some minnor fixes

- 367:
Goodbye titles.ini
* Title and case color info are all stored in cache and discHdr
* Titles.ini isn't used anymore

- 368:
* Updated Makefile to always include alt_ios_gen.c
* Changed default font to DejaVu (Russian glyphs are removed for now!)
* Changed list to include a lookup in custom_titles
* Fixed problem with gamesound when exiting submenus like synopsis or settings

- 369:
* Fixed a small bug that forced a cache update on every launch
* Added lost code for custom titles and wiitdb titles for wbfs partition users

- 370:
* Updated FAT/NTFS/WBFS for 4k sectors (thanks dimok and oggzee)

- 371:
* Fixed sector size in devicemounter, which made an assumption (thnx Miigotu, for
the hint)

- 372:
*Don't walk the directory to verify the cache, stat'ing mass files it becomes
slower and slower with more files.
*Fix gameid in synopsis (r-win)
*Only load wiiTDB when we need to, the instance being open all of the time
creates memory problems since we are near the wall.

- 373:
*Give wait message thread it's own smartbuff'd stack, which is freed once the
thread is done and is now joined. Also made it static. Cleared m_waitMessages in
the hide method instead of the show method to free the memory when its not
showing. (time-memory tradeoff)
*Removed the u32* count stuff from the cache, use m_gamelist.size() or whatever
the tag is instead. gotta love vectors.
*Disabled caching of music file paths since sizeof(std::string) doesn't know the
length of the string which caused alot of pooping (thx r-win for finding my
fudge)
*Clean up switch partition and language switch code in the menu
*Update the cache when switching language (to get the correct title language)
*Leave 1MB more unallocated space in mem1. TODO: Verify it helps and that it is
still necessary.
*Some cleanup.

- 374:
* Added back more character sets in the DejaVu fonts, including cyrillic and
baltic.

- 375:
*Fixed _picloader threading and renamed it to _coverLoader, renamed
stop/startPicLoader to stopCoverLoader and startCoverLoader
*Seems to fix crash when booting a game too quickly after playing game sound.
*Seems to fix bug where _picloader would not end on exitting/booting a game
given the perfect timing to screw it up.
*b+reload still hanging on blitting wait screen after 3 reloads, looking
elsewhere.

- 376:
*Use GX mem2.cpp
*Remove source/data/
*Move images, sounds, and fonts from resources to trunk/data
*Change makefile to use bin2s on most normal file types
*Remove rvl.ld and that stupid .cdat section
*Cover_* memory functions all now use malloc, which will allocate into mem2
automatically if >0x40 in size, can do something later if this isn't acceptable.
*No need for different freeing functions based on srccall in smartbuf, free
finds the right call to make based on pointer address.
*Some thread or somehting still freezes on 3rd b+reload, leaving the wait screen
scrolling. Orphan?

- 377:
* Use the default Wii font instead of a custom font. The font is extracted from
the NAND at runtime (thank you, giantpune, for your help with the hashes and the
filenames, etc.)
* Extract u8 archive methods to seperate file
* Added support for watchdog in d2x v7 alpha 2 (thnx daveboal)
* Fixed a small bug in coverflow and threading (Miigotu)
* Added font weight to FreeTypeGX and themes (_weight setting)
* Added support for multiple font faces in a font file (needed for the wii font)
* Borked Wii Movie (should be fixed later, don't use it for now)
* Prevent WDM to be loaded if on d2x
* Cleanup more resources before IOS Reloading (should fix dump when using ios
reload)
* Added more checks in soundhandling (null buffers, etc.)
* Removed threading from gamercard functionality (untested atm)

- 378:
Fix build error on CI server.

- 379:
*Force cache update when installing or removing a game from inside wiiflow.
*Add-on to r-win's change in gui_sound.cpp so that null allocations don't happen
with LZ77 compressed sounds as well.
