* Added a new button to the installer configuration window for verifying installs. This runs the same code as the verify CLI command, now it's in the UI for easier access. The output of this command
is written to a `.html` file and opened in the default browser.
* When a modlist install fails due to one or more missing non-nexus files, the installer will now write a `.html` file with all the links and instructions, and open it with the default browser. This data was
* Note: Hashes were added earlier, but the earlier version was not fully compatible due to Wabbajack extracting the BA2 archives incorrectly. This has been fixed.
* Fixed `--outputPath` not being used for the CLI `compile` (thanks to @majcosta for fixing that)
* Improved Log message for cases where low storage on the drive Wabbajack is installed on causes compiles to fail
* **To list authors still compiling on Wabbajack 3.0.5.0:**
This is what is causing your compiles with any newer Wabbajack version to fail.
The reason the compile works is that you already have a full cache for all your mods and BSAs with that version and WJ only needs to add a small amount of new files to that cache and needs less temporary drive space because of that. Any version higher than 3.0.5.0 needs a new cache that can't be converted and needs WJ to unpack every Archive (zip/rar/7z/BSA/BA2) and add the files inside to the new cache.
Finding ways to reduce the storage footprint when compiling huge lists for the first time (since any following compiles won't need that space requirement anymore) will be investigated.
* Wabbajack will now clean the `temp` folder when closed
* Add support for Cubemaps in BA2 files, if you have problems with BA2 recompression, be sure to delete your `GlobalVFSCache3.sqlite` from your AppData before the next compile
* Fixed slides not being shown during installation for lists compile with the 3.0 compiler
* Set the "While loading slide" debug message to be `Trace` level, set the default minimum log level to `Information`
* Added installation-step for marking archives that weren't used during the installation as hidden inside MO2, to avoid confusion caused by leftover files from failed attempts or other modlist or private downloads (They can be unhidden by users knowing what they are doing.)
* Don't rebuild BSAs that haven't changed (requires one more BSA build to cache the data)
* Added initial support for Dragons Dogma

* Fix crash caused by multiple downloads with the same SHA256
* Putting `WABBAJACK_ALWAYS_ENABLE` on a mod's notes/comments will cause it to always be included in the modlist, even if disabled
* All `.json`, `.ini`, and `.yaml` files that contain remappable paths are now inlined and remapped.
* If Wabbajack finds a file called `otherprofiles.txt` inside the compiled profile's folder. Then that file is assumed
to be a list of other profiles to be included in the install. This list should be the name of a profile, one name per line.
* Can now set the download folder both during compilation and installation.
* Any config files pointing to the download folder are remapped.
* Refuse to run inside `downloads` folders (anti-virus watches these files too closely and it can cause VFS issues)
* Refuse to run if MO2 is on the system installed in non-portable mode (otherwise broken installs may result)
* Config files that don't otherwise match a rule are inlined into the modlist
* Warn users before installing into an existing MO2 install folder (prevents unintentional data loss from overwriting existing data #24)
* Fix for read only folder deletion bug (#23)
* Include version numbers and SHAs in the install report
* Removed option to endorse mods, Nexus devs mentioned it was of questionable worth, I (halgari) agree
#### Version 0.8.1 - 8/29/2019
* Fixed a bug that was causing VFS temp folders not to be cleaned
* 7zip Extraction code now shows a progress bar
* Told 7zip not to ask for permission before overwriting a file (should fix the hanging installer problem)
* Fixed several places where we were using long-path incompatible file routines
* Changed the work queue from FIFO to LIFO which results in depth-first work instead of breadth-first
TLDR: We now fully analyze a single archive before moving on to the next.
#### Version 0.8 - 8/26/2019
* Mod folders that contain ESMs with names matching the Skyrim core ESMs are assumed to be cleaned versions of the core
game mods, and will be patched from the ESMs found in the game folder. **Note:** if you have also cleaned the files in the Skyrim
folder, this will result in a broken install. The ESMs in the game folder should be the original ESMs, the cleaned
ESMs should go into their own mod. These files currently only include:
*`Update.esm`
*`Dragonborn.esm`
*`HearthFires.esm`
*`Dawnguard.esm`
*`ModOrganizer.ini` is now interpreted and included as part of the install. As part of the install users will be asked
to point to their game folder, and then all the references to the MO2 folder or Game folder in `ModOrganizer.ini` will
be remapped to the new locations.
* Progress bars were added to several install/hashing and compilation instructions
* 7zip routines were rewritten to use subprocesses instead of a C# library. This will result in slower indexing and installation
but should have full compatability with all usable archive formats. It should also reduce total memory usage during extraction.
* Added the ability to endorse all used mods at the completion of an install
* Custom LOOT rules are now included in a special folder in MO2 after install. Users can use this to quickly import new LOOT rules.
* Moved the VFS cache from using BSON to a custom binary encoding. Much faster read/write times and greatly reduced memory usage.
**Note:** This means that modlist authors will have to re-index their archives with this version. This is automatic but the first
compilation will take quite some time while the cache reindexes.
