There are only two significant things about this release.

  1. I no longer consider this to be alpha software. Minor features are still missing, and polish is still needed all around, but it's beta now, baby!
  2. The old, 16-byte-header-based ROM format is gone forever. In its place is a higan-style Game Folder system. If you like your ROMs old-style, zip the Game Folder and voila. If you prefer the higan way, unzip instead. Meanwhile, any ARS game can take advantage of the flexible new manifest.bml. Hurray!

This second thing means that compatibility with all existing ROM images is broken. As far as I know, everyone who has produced any ARS software was prepared for this. (That's not exactly a long list.)
