v0.99.8 rev3788 (21 Jan 2019)

- Updated Spanish translation (still many thanks to Víctor
  González, Sergi Medina)
- Updated Japanese translation (still using Google translate)
- More thorough searching for content in input files (indexing is
  slower)
- Index format changed, indexes need to be regenerated
- Better description about the difference between saving a File
  item as "normal" vs "raw"
- Default uncompressed video saving quality is now "high"
- Updated manual with lots of useful information
- Generally improved all GUI, command-line and logging messages
- Generally improved error handling
x Remove volume slider from audio saving GUI
Replacing content:
- Can now replace audio used in many Square games
- When modding/replacing content, all changes wait until the end
  before actually being applied
x Remove ability to replace Tim images with a normal image
  Tim images can now only be replaced with another Tim image
x Audio replacing now requires the new audio to be of exact same
  length as the existing audio
Bug fixes:
- Audio filename not being updated when changing selection in the GUI
- Items sorted wrong in some cases
- 0 sized File items had a sector length of -1
- Video disc speed not properly detected when there are multiple
  parallel audio streams
- Opening a file that is too small to be identifiable caused an error
- Video sectors being corrupted when trying to replace AC3 and
  Dredd frames
- save.log file name not localized
- Bad error handling when there were errors in the input file's
  filesystem
- Empty audio packets written to AVI when saving audio streams from
  some Square games
- Other small bug fixes
Internal:
- Added ability to override default logging settings using standard
Java logging features
- New processing pipeline and a massive restructuring of system
  makes it possible to add support for more types of videos
- In progress support for SPU audio and 'VAG' files
- Frame numbering redesign
Known issues:
- Video playback on Linux may still not work right
- Videos with variable frames rates saved as AVI do not play right
  in the default video players found in some Windows versions.
  Use a more reliable player such VLC media player.
