Launchbox 6.10 Change Log

[Lordmonkus]

Version 6.10 - Released September 28, 2016

- New Premium Feature: Big Box now has separate volume controls for videos, music, startup, navigate, select, back, and attract mode navigate; volumes are available under Options > Sound in Big Box.

- New Premium Feature: Big Box now supports proper sound packs! The LaunchBox\Sounds subfolder now contains folders for different sound packs and you can switch between them under Options > Sound in Big Box. Big thanks to Clavius for all the new sound packs. Additional sound packs can also be downloaded from the forums: http://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/category/3-big-box-sound-packs/

- New Premium Feature: Big Box now has a new Default Startup View setting under Options > Views. This will allow you to change what view comes up when you first start up Big Box.

- Improvement: The singular LaunchBox.xml file has been replaced with separate XML files in the Data subfolder; this allows for better performance for external integrations like RocketLauncher and LEDBlinky

- Improvement: The LaunchBox rendering, data population, and caching engines have been revamped to vastly improve performance

- Improvement: LaunchBox and Big Box startup time has been significantly reduced by delay loading certain metadata items

- Fixed: The back button in Big Box was not registering properly in some situations (such as after Attract Mode was running or while games were animating)

- Fixed: Several issues with the selected game getting out of sync when entering and backing out of filters in Big Box

- Fixed: Image types were not switching properly for CoverFlow views in Big Box

- Fixed: The emulator field was sometimes being reset back to empty when changing the platform or metadata in the Add/Edit window

- Fixed: Paths were not being saved relatively when importing games and copying or moving files

- Fixed: Games and platforms in the CoverFlow and wheel views in Big Box can now be selected with the mouse

I have 6.10 already and just launched LB. I got prompted about an official update. Can someone post if that is a Beta or not and what changes are there? I'd like to know before taking the plunge. Thanks!

It will say when it prompts you to update whether it's official or a beta. If it's official it'll say something like "A new official update is available" and if it's a beta it'll say something like a "A new beta update is available."

it says new official?? really? anyone know what's in there? i already have 6.10 installed.

Based on a few other posts, there seems to be a 6.11 version. Typically the only time you'll see a new official version released very quickly after a previous official version is for bug fixes. I'm not sure what the fixes are as I'm not home to see the log.

[ckp]

ok, then it sounds safe so i'll go ahead and take it.

change log only listed one thing which was related to resizing boxes in LB. that's it.
