v0.3.1

• Several saves: pick which save to play with on the Play screen. New save… starts the game from the beginning without touching your other saves. Window and control settings are shared by all of them.
• Saves in the launcher: each save's slots and play time, backups you can restore, export or delete, and an automatic backup each time you press Play. Import a save from there too; files the game cannot read are refused.
• Config menu: switching tabs after scrolling the PC tab no longer leaves the other tabs scrolled down.

Downloads: Windows OpenCatbox-Setup.exe. Linux OpenCatbox-x86_64.AppImage, OpenCatbox-amd64.deb or OpenCatbox-x86_64.rpm, and macOS OpenCatbox-macOS.dmg, are added a few minutes after publishing. How to install each: see the README.

v0.3.0

• Linux and macOS: the game and the launcher run there too. Linux: an AppImage, a .deb and an .rpm, with movies through GStreamer. macOS 11 or later (Apple Silicon and Intel): a .dmg, with movies through VideoToolbox; the app is not signed by Apple, so it needs allowing once in System Settings (see the README).
• Please note: Linux and macOS should work, but have not been tested as thoroughly as Windows, and the macOS version has not been tried on a real Mac at all yet. Problems are welcome as issues.
• A movie that has ended keeps its last frame on screen, as on the Switch, instead of going blank.
• Random screen shakes move independently left-right and up-down again, instead of along a diagonal.
• Wipes start on the frame they are called, as on the Switch, instead of one frame later.
• Skipping no longer waits for movies to play out, as on the Switch.
• A computer without a working sound output plays silently instead of the game stopping at the start.
• When the system cannot decode the movies, they are skipped instead of the game stopping.
• Website, and issue forms for bugs, differences from the Switch version and ideas.

Downloads: Windows OpenCatbox-Setup.exe. Linux OpenCatbox-x86_64.AppImage, OpenCatbox-amd64.deb or OpenCatbox-x86_64.rpm, and macOS OpenCatbox-macOS.dmg, are added a few minutes after publishing. How to install each: see the README.

v0.2.7

• Launcher music player: tracks no longer loop forever, and it has shuffle, repeat (list, one track or off) and playlists.
• The music player has its own settings in Settings �� Music: how many times a track loops, the fade-out at its end, and whether it keeps playing when the game starts.

v0.2.6

• System menu: long scene titles wrap between words instead of mid-word.
• Down advances the story, as on the Switch.
• A damaged or unreadable save file is now explained on the title screen instead of only in the log.
• Play time also counts on the title and in the galleries.
• With the Confirm button set to Bottom, the "skip this event" hint shows the right button.
• The speaker's name box is the right width again.
• In Tips, Config and the backlog, text fades out under the window's edge as on the Switch.
• The mouse cursor hides after 3 seconds without moving.
• Launcher music player: a search box, a seek bar, and crossfades between tracks (set the length in Settings).
• The launcher checks for updates while it stays open, and Version history has a Check for updates button.

v0.2.5

• Launcher: a music playlist beside Play, with the game's soundtrack from your game files. Hide it any time.
• Picture Box: button help for Zoom, Hide UI and Previous, and L goes back to a picture's previous version.

Install: download OpenCatbox-Setup.exe and run it. Already installed? The launcher updates itself.

v0.2.4

• Story swipes, as on the Switch: right opens the menu, down hides the text box, left shows the touch buttons (auto, skip, backlog, previous and next chapter).
• Overwriting a save updates its picture right away.

Install: download OpenCatbox-Setup.exe and run it. Already installed? The launcher updates itself.

v0.2.3

• Lip-sync fixed: mouths open fully when speaking and close when silent, as in the original.

Install: download OpenCatbox-Setup.exe and run it. Already installed? The launcher updates itself.

v0.2.2

• Exit in the title menu.
• The PC tab and Controls screen now match the game's lettering.
• Launcher: import a save file from Settings.
• Launcher: "The game is starting…" no longer stays on screen.

Install: download OpenCatbox-Setup.exe and run it. Already installed? The launcher updates itself.

v0.2.1

• The launcher keeps everything in its own folder: settings, game data and saves. Your existing setup moves in automatically.
• Setup can use a game folder you already have.
• Shorter, clearer text in the launcher.
• Release notes display properly.

Install: download OpenCatbox-Setup.exe and run it. Already installed? The launcher updates itself.

Open Catbox v0.2.0

• The launcher is now its own installer: one OpenCatbox-Setup.exe installs it for your user (no administrator
  rights), with Start-menu and desktop shortcuts and an entry in Installed apps, and it uninstalls the same way.
  Updates swap it in place. Launchers from v0.1.0 update to it on their own.
• A new PC tab in Config: window mode (windowed, borderless, fullscreen), window size, V-Sync, a frame-rate
  cap, supersampling (1.5x / 2x for smoother edges), button prompts and which controller button confirms.
• Controls: rebind every action for keyboard, mouse and controller (Config > PC > Controls).
• Button prompts follow what you play with: Xbox, PlayStation and Switch controllers, or the keyboard.
• Save from the galleries: pictures as full-size PNG, music tracks as WAV, movies as MP4 and character sprites
  as transparent PNG, into your Pictures, Music and Videos folders.
• The game runs the same at any refresh rate: 120 and 144 Hz screens no longer speed anything up.
• Accuracy against the original, measured at the Switch's own resolution: 99.7 %.

Install or update (Windows)

• New: download and run OpenCatbox-Setup.exe. It installs for your user (no administrator rights); then point it at your own dump and prod.keys, pick a language and press Play.
• From v0.1.0: the launcher offers the update by itself. Your game data, languages and saves are kept.

You need to own the game; no game data, keys or translation files are in this release. The English patches are downloaded from their authors when you choose them: Catbox English by &Olga and contributors, and Catbox X by Foxdear.

latest.json and the .sig file are for the launcher's auto-updater. Windows SmartScreen may warn about the Setup because it is not code-signed with a certificate yet.
