Changelog

Nothing. I accidentally uploaded the 0.3.2 bleeding edge artifacts to Thunderstore and the GitHub release, instead of the 0.4.0 artifacts 😅.
The artifacts below (and the resulting release on Thunderstore) will be 0.4.1.

v0.3.0

⚠️ This is a breaking update. If you are not a developer, please wait to update so that developers have enough time to update their mods. ⚠️

---

When upgrading from v0.2, please fully remove the BepInEx/plugins/Deli and BepInEx/patchers/Deli directories before copying Deli into your game folder.

Changelog

This is the abridged version because the project has been rewritten from scratch.

Also, we have a developer website now! This should (hopefully) help more than the previous wiki pages, and is more organized.

Features:

• [#15] Virtual file system (VFS)
• Individual stage types (used to be static classes and members)
• [#14] Included JSON library (Deli.Newtonsoft.Json)
• New stage: runtime (the old "runtime" is now setup)
• More globs
  • [abc]
  • [!abc]
  • [a-z]
  • [!a-z]

Fixes

• A manifest.json in root will now be ignored, and a warning will be logged
• [#17] Zip directories without trailing slashes are now supported (backslash are still not)
• Globstar (**) now works on directories only (like it is supposed to)

v0.2.5

This release addresses the issues found in the previous 0.2.x releases, making it the first usable one.
For a list of changes since v0.1, refer to this release here: https://github.com/Deli-Counter/Deli/releases/tag/v0.2.0

IMPORTANT:

• Deli v0.2 changes some things and makes mods built against v0.1 incompatible. See the release linked above the those changes.
• When upgrading to Deli v0.2.5 from v0.1 please fully remove the BepInEx/plugins/Deli/ directory before copying Deli into your game folder.

Deli first release
