R5.10 released!

This update (codenamed "Sous Vide Grande") contains a small, but substantial update: the upgrade to Halva 2. The new, overhauled version of Halva 2 brings performance and security improvements. Specifically, there are under the hood changes that improve compression and decompression performance, alongside improving security. Although it sounds like an update to the existing Halva system, the under the hood and file changes create new files. Hence, why this update has the R5.10 version.

If you are using a service like Steam to distribute your game, the patches to your users will end up bigger than anticipated. This is normal, as the packages are different despite carrying the same files. Updates that your release after that first build with this version should come back to normal.

Changelog:

• Updated Halva Package System to v2.
  • Overhauled internals and file architecture to improve performance and security.
  • Packages will carry the .halva2 file extension.
• Updated dependencies and .NET, bringing performance and stability improvements.
• The name used by the bootstrapper will now use the "Product Name" text in the project settings.
• Tweaked the Customization tab. If the option to compress the game files is turned on, the access to the options for the Splash screen and icon should available now.
