QMC2 0.1.b10 released

Front End for Linux systems

 

20-JUL-2007 - QMC2 0.1.b10 released

This is release 0.1.b10 of QMC2, which we proudly present to the public!

 

Included in this release there are many new features such as image- and sample-checkers, individual ROM checks, more sort criteria (year + manufacturer) and game icon support. Also, there have been some major improvements to the build system to allow for distribution-dependent configuration and to make it easier to use Qt libraries supplied by distributions.

 

QMC2 0.1.b10 now also supports Qt 4.3! However, please note that with Qt 4.3 it takes a few seconds for QMC2 to exit. Be patient, it WILL exit gracefully, and therefor we don't see it as a real bug. Nevertheless we will try to "fix" it as soon as we find a clue to what could cause this ...
