Improvements​

  • Log uploads now use Zaparoo's own service (logs.zaparoo.org) instead of termbin. It's a simple rustypaste instance for anyone curious
  • Media scanner lazy loading for faster resume on large libraries
  • MQTT publisher now retries connection in the background instead of blocking startup
  • Offline arcade game lookups on MiSTer first boot via an embedded ArcadeDB fallback
  • Playlist commands are no longer incorrectly treated as media launches, and now trigger a fail sound when something goes wrong
  • Structured GitHub issue forms for bug reports, feature requests, and questions (thanks Anime0t4ku)

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed MiSTer deadlock when displaying overlays while media was active, and added MGL reset tag support for cores like Jaguar
  • Fixed reader disconnects causing duplicate token scans
  • Fixed re-indexing a single system wiping tag associations
  • Fixed some settings and launcher config changes not taking effect until restart
  • Fixed scan_feedback=false being ignored
  • Custom sounds are now correctly detected from the assets folder
  • Fixed non-Steam games not detected due to inconsistent VDF key casing
  • Fixed Batocera scanning without a game running opening manufacturer menu
  • Fixed PN532 readers stuck in failed reconnection after disconnect
  • Fixed libnfc connection string corruption breaking PN532 I2C/UART readers
  • Fixed NTP clock sync falsely triggering reader reconnection on MiSTer boot
  • Fixed concurrent reader close operations crashing the service
  • Fixed exit delay timers losing sub-second precision
  • Fixed reinserting card during hold-mode countdown not cancelling exit
  • Fixed timer goroutine leaks when scans were interrupted
  • Fixed platform scanners (RetroBat, Kodi) accidentally wiping other launchers' indexed files
  • Fixed generic launchers intercepting launches meant for more specific launchers

As always, feedback and bug reports are welcome on our Discord or GitHub.
