Releases are automated with semantic-release. Pushing to main triggers a stable release; pushing to alpha or beta creates a prerelease.
Versions are determined from conventional commits:
fix:→ patch bump (0.1.0 → 0.1.1)feat:→ minor bump (0.1.0 → 0.2.0)BREAKING CHANGE:→ major bump (0.1.0 → 1.0.0)
The CI pipeline bumps versions across package.json, tauri.conf.json, and Cargo.toml, generates a changelog, tags the release, and builds macOS (ARM + Intel) and Windows installers.
QSave uses the following manifests to detect games and their save file locations:
- Ludusavi Manifest — primary game database, sourced from PCGamingWiki
- Ludusavi Extra Manifests — community-contributed games missing from the primary manifest
- Ludusavi Manifests (hvmzx) — additional save paths for existing games
The primary manifest data comes from PCGamingWiki. If you find missing or incorrect save locations, please contribute back to the wiki so improvements benefit everyone.
