Release v7.1.0

This is an interim release now that the ld-decode-tools have been removed to their own repo. The release mechanism now produces installation packages for Linux (flatpak), Windows (msi) and Mac OS (dmg). Note that these are unsigned installations (so you will need to provide additional permissions to use).

Full Changelog: v0.3.2...v7.1.0

rev5.0

The original rev5 release. Supports efm/digital sound among other things!

rev4.0

release notes here https://www.domesday86.com/?p=2670

rev3.0.1

There were a couple of minor JSON-saving changes since rev3.0, so I'll tag it before bringing rev4 to master.

rev3.0 "JSON and the Argonauts"

This is a rather major upgrade with Simon Inn's ld-decode-tools integrated (tools/ directory), JSON metadata, and quality improvements (especially for PAL) Enjoy!

v0.4.0rc1 "Seaking"

This version includes the -S option (not fully refined yet), the -c option for cutting, and rough MTF compensation.

v0.3.2 "combi" final

About to merge in Seaking, and I fixed a couple of things in comb-ntsc, so one more v0.3.x release.
