ClrMamePro 4.011

misc: full unicode build
misc: full support for UTF8 characters in file/folder names, files within archives (7z/rar/zip) and datfiles (XML and old format) The default encoding of xml datfiles is UTF8. The default storing method in archives is UTF8 (for zip, with no extra field usage). Current versions of Winrar, Winzip, 7z (just to name a few) support UF8 stored names. There might be other 3rd party tools (which some people use to rezip/share ) which might fail (they only work with local page encoding). Tough luck... All textfiles in the clrmamepro environment are now saved as UTF8. You can use your old setup, since it loads them in ASCII and saves them as UTF8. XML files are stored without a BOM (byte ordered mark), non-xml files with a BOM. You should not use newly written files with old versions of clrmamepro. I recommend a good texteditor to work with UF8 datfiles, e.g. notepad++, available here http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
misc: completely switched to latest ziparchive library for all zip related operations. This includes reading, in-place renaming and no-recompress copy. This results in a faster rebuilder (no recompress) and faster rename operations (scanner). Actual scanning speed is roughly the same.
added: devices support, devices and device_ref elements are parsed, exported, an own system default path for devices can be added, select sets supports filtering by devices and device_refs
removed: included doucmentation, switching to online pdf docs soon
removed: Settings->Compressor->Zip, obsolete due to ziparchive usage
removed: Settings->Compressor->Oem/Ansi conversion, obsolete due to UTF8 switch
removed: Scanner->Advanced-> detect sets in wrong sysdefpaths; move sets to correct sysdefpath; chd use sysdefault assignments; use sysdefault paths for fix missing; Such options are automatically enabled internally now if sysdefpaths are setup. The first two ones require an unneeded check+fix though.
misc: aligned "allow not separated bios sets" & "split bios sets"
misc: directly jump to profiler or settings instead of prompting
fixed: xml parser doesn't handle multiple comments on the same line correctly
fixed: dat resource tag export for non-xml datfiles is broken

* added: Font selector (popupmenu->View->Select Font) for scanner tree and setinfo tree/list
* added: profiler option to support inverted crc32 for baddumps method (default = off)
* fixed: missing device path/system initialization randomly keeps devices unchecked
* fixed: circular renames inside zips don't work
* fixed: saving/loading of standard/mech/device path clones names when only 1 is setup
* misc: limit list of not setup sysdefpaths to avoid too big prompt
* misc: don't allow profiler reset on exe based dat
* тremoved: setinformation title flyover (obsolete and flickers)

* removed: scanner advanced option: check for dupes (it's enabled by default now)
* removed: scanner advanced option: use optimized rompath scan (it's enabled by default now)
* added: scanner info line besides setinformation button to indicate not enabled sets/systems/chd regions
* added: unbind all button for system picker window
* misc: optimized time needed for sysdefpath autodetection (roughly 10x faster)
* misc: changed file attribute routines to win32 api to avoid assertions on illegal dates
* fixed: system picker's last entries can't be edited
* fixed: deprecated dat loader did not force utf8 encoding

* fixed: scanner crash when using "mark disabled sets as unneeded"
* fixed: lib assertion when removing files from zip with double listed indexes
* fixed: cmpro crashes within uneeded scan when you let it add rompaths for not existing systems
* fixed: rebuilder does not rebuild software lists when they got identical files in non-softlists
* fixed: old deprecated dat format is broken
* fixed: identical set names can fool cmpro's set check (MAME software lists)
* fixed: zip rename can rarely create double entries (you may now run into some not-fixed renames in such cases)
* fixed: system's unbind all only fully works after restart
* misc: added workaround for a possible MAME/MESS -listsoftware specific output error which leads to wrong rom sizes
* misc: slightly changed the text for the softwarelist import prompt and system auto detect button
* misc: changed the way how active systems are read from config

* added: profiler options option to prompt for software lists import during MAME/MESS import
* added: chdman settings option to optionally show version mismatches during scan
* misc: auto expand not fixed items in tree control
* misc: improved scanner matching for identical named sets / softwarelists (with BIOS roms)
* misc: updated to latest ziparchive lib
* misc: updated to latest unrar lib
* misc: scanner adv option to remove not renamed sets to backup now also applies to roms
* misc: removed border from tree scan output (minor cosmetics)
* fixed: warning about missing sysdefpaths rarely shows only "..." instead of list
* fixed: batch rebuilding doesn't care about forcepacking attributes in dats

* misc: reset profile to not scanned in case scan was skipped
* misc: changed the error message for .7z files which aren't 7z archives
* misc: made the three settings/compressor/general options list archive files with comments, +rsh, double names global options. You need to reset them if you used them before
* misc: download failure messages are shown in the warnings window instead of a prompt
* misc: show file and rom names in progress dialog for rom uneeded check/rom if set is not compressed
* misc: general speed up for fix-missing decompressed files
* added: CMPro_TempFolder and CMPro_TempFolder_Clean settings to cmpro.ini to let you select the cmpro folder and optionally clean it on startup. Default value is the cmpro temp folder and data gets initially removed. You need to start/quit cmpro once to see this setting
* added: logging warnings window entries to cmpro.log (cleared on startup)
* added: set information boxes to include devices and/or bios automatically
* fixed: chdman verify check fails for rompaths with spaces
* fixed: newly created exe profiles can falsely takeover system default settings from loaded profile
* fixed: chdversion check for merged sets can hide the result
* fixed: xml parser failure when hitting an ending and starting xml comment in one line
* fixed: falsely show full set as missing in case of removing unneeded files from decompressed sets

fixed: 7z working with filenames starting with an "@" fails if the filename also contains a space
fixed: header support: possible infinite loop when file is too short
fixed: header support: wrong hash calculation (in file and memfile) when file is too short
fixed: detection of prefered archive type falsely failed for unpacked sets causing creation of zips
misc: unneeded check also detects obsolete chd folders
misc: explicity test folder for no entries to avoid possible deletion of NTFS junctions
misc: check if file really exist in 7z/rar archives before trying to remove them. Gives a small speed gain

misc: updated to latest ziparchive library
misc: rebuilder log shows more info for 'Exists' and 'Skipped'
fixed: runtime error with 0 sized packed files and header support
fixed: software lists of a previous loaded datfile stay when no xml datfile is loaded afterwards
fixed: batchrun uses previous scan data sometimes incorrectly
fixed: rebuilder destprestring function does not pick clone or bios set when file belongs to them only (issues with e.g. %a)
fixed: 7z/rar removal of unneeded files in archive subfolders does not work
fixed: chds and samples with extensions loose extensions
fixed: xml file header parser can (by mistake) detect a mess -listxml output as a mess software list output
fixed: xml parser crash when xml file is wrongly detected as mess software list ouput (above)
