CHDSharp v1.5.0 — What's New

Released: 2026-10-16 · Full changelog · NuGet

CHDSharp v1.5.0 is the first release produced end-to-end by the GitHub Actions pipeline:
one tag push builds the six platform bundles, creates the GitHub release, publishes the
NuGet package, and updates the wiki and
the documentation site.

Download (CLI)

Platform Bundle
Windows x64 CHDSharp_win-x64_v1.5.0.zip
Windows ARM64 CHDSharp_win-arm64_v1.5.0.zip
Linux x64 CHDSharp_linux-x64_v1.5.0.zip
Linux ARM64 CHDSharp_linux-arm64_v1.5.0.zip
macOS Intel CHDSharp_osx-x64_v1.5.0.zip
macOS Apple Silicon CHDSharp_osx-arm64_v1.5.0.zip

Every bundle contains a framework-dependent single-file CHDSharp / CHDSharp.exe
build (the .NET runtime is not embedded) plus LICENSE.txt, README.md, README.txt
and this document. The .NET 10 runtime
is required. On Linux/macOS run chmod +x CHDSharp if the binary is not executable after
unzipping.

Fixed: built-in update check

The CLI's "a new version is available" notice now links directly to the download for
your platform. The bundle the release ships (CHDSharp_<os>-<arch>_v<version>.zip) is
exactly the name the update check looks up; previously it searched for the wrong asset
name built from the currently running version, so the direct link never resolved and
users were sent to the releases page instead.

Release engineering

  • One tag, one release — Release workflow: bundles (win/linux/osx × x64/arm64),
    GitHub release, NuGet push, wiki sync, Pages rebuild. The workflow refuses to run if
    the tag does not match Directory.Build.props.
  • NuGet publishing is idempotent — re-running the workflow skips a version that is
    already on nuget.org.
  • GitHub releases now ship only the CLI — the WPF Tester remains source-only.

Also in this release

  • Wiki + documentation site in sync — the docs/ folder is deployed twice from CI:
    as the documentation site and as the
    GitHub wiki, both with the same side menu.
  • Dark theme by default on the documentation site (with a persisted light/dark toggle).
  • Test harness hardening — test-spawned CLI runs set CHDSHARP_NO_BUG_REPORTS=1 /
    CHDSHARP_NO_TELEMETRY=1, so local full-suite runs no longer file bug reports.
  • Badges on every README (CI, release, NuGet, platform, parity, license).

Upgrading from v1.4.3 (or earlier)

v1.5.0 rolls up everything from v1.4.4 and v1.4.5:

  • Multisession cue parity — ports MAME's REM SESSION / REM LEAD-IN / REM LEAD-OUT
    / session-pregap layout rules (IsoBuster/ImgBurn single-bin trim with zero-filled
    inter-session gaps, Redump/DiscImageCreator synthesized lead-in/out, .img heuristic).
    Multisession cues now encode byte-identically to chdman createcd.
  • Redump multi-cue Dreamcast GD-ROM parity — cues with REM SINGLE-DENSITY AREA /
    REM HIGH-DENSITY AREA markers get the full is_gdicue layout (split pregap regions,
    LBA-45000 padding, CHGD metadata); verified byte-identical on a real 1.19 GB Redump
    multi-cue with a byte-perfect chdman extractcd round-trip.
  • cdrdao TOC START parity — a bare START line (cdrdao's documented form) is
    accepted as "no pregap", matching MAME 0.289's parse_toc exactly.

NuGet

dotnet add package CHDSharp --version 1.5.0

Targets net8.0, net9.0 and net10.0 — pure C#, zero native dependencies. Every
codec (zlib, lzma, huffman, flac, zstd, AVHuff and the CD variants) is implemented
in-repo and ships inside the package.
