Hello to all our English-speaking fellows whom we have been neglecting a bit lately!
So here are some late-breaking news about the progress of Recalbox 7.0!
To make a long story short, we're in the final stages of debugging and improvements.
There are a lot of new features in this version, a lot of bugs fixed, and a lot of small improvements here and there.
I invite you to read in detail the release note here, even if it's incomplete, since we've moved to a private Gitlab repository due to a beta leak: https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/-/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES.md
Don't worry, we're still working actively to stabilize this release!
For Recalbox 7.0 we wanted it to be as perfect as possible. So of course it's impossible, because a lot of things are not only up to us.
But we have made our best effort, both the development team and the 20 or so beta testers, to track down as many bugs and imperfections as possible and fix them.
Recalbox is a true major release:
- Perfect Pi4 compatibility
- New emulators (OpenBor, Solarus, Saturn, ...)
- New libretro cores
- Our EmulationStation has evolved to be faster, more fluid & ergonomic and more solid! It also integrates a lot of new features.
- A faster startup, and a more user-friendly installation!
- New update procedures, faster and more secure.
- Tons of nice new features that will simplify your life.
- Surprises that I can't talk about and that you'll discover the day of the release!
- ...
And despite all this, we still have a lot of things, some of them already in development, waiting for you in the next version!
Next version which should come much faster thanks to the new update procedure.
We still ask you to be patient, Recalbox 7.0 is in the last straight line!
