• Randovania should no longe create invalid ISOs when the game files are bigger than the maximum ISO size: an error is properly reported in that case.

[0.9.2] - 2018-07-10

• Added a version check. Once a day, the application will check GitHub if there's a new version.
• Preview feature: option to create item layouts, instead of searching for seeds. This is much more CPU friendly and faster than searching for seeds, but is currently experimental: generation is prone to errors and items concentrated in early locations. To use, open with randovania.exe gui --preview from a terminal. Even though there are many configuration options, only the Item Loss makes any difference.
