🚀 GBA Video Studio v1.1.0 — Incremental Builds & Smart Bundling

This release introduces major quality-of-life improvements, absolute portability, and a powerful incremental compilation system to speed up your workflow significantly.

✨ What's New

⚡ Smart Incremental Build System

  • Context-Aware Encoding: The core engine now tracks exactly what you change.
  • Modifying only video parameters? The encoder re-runs video quantization and reuses your previously compiled audio.
  • Modifying only audio tracks? It reuses the existing video assets.
  • Changing the source file, duration, or segment tags will still safely trigger a full rebuild from scratch.

🧰 Workflow & Automation

  • Zero-Setup Dependency Management: We have completely replaced the external FFmpeg dependency with an internal imageio-ffmpeg engine bundled directly in the package. You no longer need to manually install FFmpeg or configure system PATH variables.
  • Post-Processing Choices: Added "Open the Build Folder" and "Open the ROM" automation shortcuts to the existing post-export action matrix.
  • Custom Naming & UI Feed: Full support for naming your custom ROM outputs on the fly, alongside precise live percentage progress displays for every atomic conversion phase in the GUI.
  • Menu Architecture: Accessible File > Build ROM shortcut integration mapped cleanly to matching visual workspace configurations.

🛡️ Hardware Safeguards & Persistence

  • 32MB VRAM Warning: A smart dialog box prompt now halts execution to warn users (Proceed / Cancel) whenever the estimated compiled payload exceeds the real hardware cartridge limitation of 32MB.
  • Safer File Management: Output architecture assets in the output/ ecosystem are now safely preserved if a devkitPro path installation mismatch triggers on Windows, avoiding accidental artifact data wipeout.
  • Enhanced Session Memory: The runtime logic now persistently tracking the last visited system paths even if global "Remember File Path" parameters are toggled off.

📦 Distribution Change

  • Portable Package Available: Alongside standard installer configurations, we are now officially distributing a standalone Portable Edition that runs instantly without machine configuration or administrator overhead.

🔧 Bug Fixes & Refinements

  • Localization Fix: Fully patched missing select_output_folder translation strings across all 18 supported language configuration dictionaries.
  • Executable Build Linkage: Standardized runtime environments to guarantee total architecture compatibility between the native distributable Windows executable (.exe) and the compiled ROM payloads.
  • Logic Traps Resolved: Corrected incremental build detection validation arrays to prevent faulty change-detection triggers on overlapping edge cases.
