Ubuntu packages are available from an Ubuntu PPA for Ubuntu 16.04 "Xenial" Xerus, Ubuntu 18.04 "Bionic" Beaver, and Ubuntu 20.04 "Focal" Fossa.

v1.5 - Lots of Assorted Stuff

Major changes:

• New parsers: Leapster Didj textures, PowerVR 3.0.0 textures, Pokémon Mini ROM images, Khronos KTX2 textures.
• Improved support for FreeBSD and DragonFly BSD.
• KDE, GTK+ UIs: Preliminary drag & drop support for icons in the properties dialog.
• Downloading functionality has been split out into a separate executable, rp-download, for security purposes.
• More security enhancements:
  • Linux: Use seccomp() and AppArmor in some places.
  • OpenBSD: Use pledge().
  • Windows: Run rp-download as a low-integrity process.

NOTE: The AppArmor profile for rpcli is not included in the Ubuntu packages at the moment.
NOTE 2: The seccomp() settings may need adjustments. They've been tested on several Linux environments (including both 32-bit and 64-bit), but it's entirely possible that some system library may be adjusted to use a syscall that hasn't been whitelisted, which will break rp-download and rpcli. If you encounter a SIGSYS error, please report this as a bug, along with info about what distro and version you're using.

Ubuntu PPA builds are not available due to a bug discovered in the Dreamcast parser. This will be fixed in v1.4.3.

v1.4.1

• New parser features:

  • amiibo: Updated the internal database to be current as of 2019/08/18.

• Bug fixes:

  • In some cases, the SCSI handlers for both Linux and Windows weren't working properly. In particular, on Linux, attempting to read "too much" data at once resulted in getting nothing, and on both systems, in some cases, passing a buffer larger than the number of requested sectors results in the sectors being loaded at the end of the buffer, not the beginning.
  • rp-config: If keys were imported from a supported key database file and settings saved, those keys wouldn't actually be saved, since the import function did not set the "changed" flag. As a workaround, modifying any key manually before saving would set the "changed" flag.
