Version 0.4

New features:

• Added a new instance system and format for storing and editing instances/entities/game objects.
• Added a special-purpose C++ parser for defining pvar data types.
• Added an overlay asset bank, mounted between the game and mods, for built-in pvar data types.
• Added an experimental memory card editor (mostly Deadlocked only).
• Occlusion data for a level can now be rebuilt on demand from the level editor.
• Packed ELF files and the level code overlays can now be unpacked to a regular ELF file.
• Tfrag meshes are now unpacked with quad faces (internally tfaces are recovered, but I'm yet to develop a solution to properly export that information).
• Overhauled the documentation.

Changes:

• Tfrag and collision assets are no longer duplicated in the unpacked asset files (they are now only stored inside Chunk assets, even in the case of R&C1).
• The underlay is no longer stored in its own zip file. This should make it more convenient to modify.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed some issues with unpacking certain builds.
• Improved handling of unicode in file paths on Windows.
• A lot more.

Linux users: Even after all this time, there are still no pre-built packages available. That said, building it from source on Linux should be fairly straightforward. Follow the instructions in the readme, but use the command git clone --recursive --branch v0.3 https://github.com/chaoticgd/wrench to clone the repository instead of the one provided.

Version 0.2

New features:

• Shrub models can now be unpacked, repacked and are now displayed in the editor.
• Sky models can now be unpacked and repacked.
• A command line option has been added to unpack loose built collision files.
• Unpacking and repacking of stashed textures (textures that are always present in GS memory) is now supported.
• Individual moby bangles (small supplementary models that can be turned on or off like destructible parts of an object) are now unpacked separately.

Bug fixes:

• Repacked builds of UYA and Deadlocked will no longer all crash on level load.
• An issue where the gameplay file was written out incorrectly for games other than R&C2 has been fixed.
• The region command line argument of wrenchbuild is now parsed correctly.
• The SYSTEM.CNF file is now written out correctly.
• Texture swizzling is now performed in more places for Deadlocked.
• The "New Mod" screen will now populate more fields of the generated gameinfo.txt file correctly.
• Improved the COLLADA parser.

Linux users: There are still no pre-built packages available, but building it from source on Linux should be fairly straightforward. Follow the instructions in the readme, but use the command git clone --recursive --branch v0.2 https://github.com/chaoticgd/wrench to clone the repository instead of the one provided.

Version 0.1

The first proper prerelease!

Linux users: No pre-built packages are available yet, but building it from source on Linux should be fairly straightforward. Follow the instructions in the readme, but use the command git clone --recursive --branch v0.1 https://github.com/chaoticgd/wrench to clone the repository instead of the one provided.
