Version 0.22a r3166
- The KMP encoder is now a 2 pass compiler and the whole source is scanned
twice. In pass 1 only names are defined and warnings are suppressed. In
pass 2 all objects are defined.
- KMP logging: The job info line is now printed before warnings.
- Some new CAME+POTI variables are defined automatically as help for
calculated parameters, e.g. came.time or viewpt.len.
- If decoding or encoding a KMP, a plausibility check is done. This should
help to find KMP errors. Option --no-check disables this check. You can
find a detailed list of all checks on the tools website:
* http://szs.wiimm.de/cmd/wkmpt/check#desc
- New command: wkmpt CHECK: Run a KMP check and return 'DIFFER' on exit
status if any KMP error found.
- New command: wkmpt OBJECTS: Search objects in the internal object database
using the entered keywords and print infos about each found object.
Options --brief and --long control the verbosity of output. A online query
is also available: http://szs.wiimm.de/cgi/mkw/object
- Internal object database updated.
- KMP compiler/POTI: New command '$COPY': Copy some or all points from
previous defined routes.
- KMP compiler/POTI: New commands @shift-route, @hrotate-route, @scale-route:
These commands transform all points of a route.

Version 0.21a r3142
- Windows version only: Update to Cygwin DLL 1.7.9-1
- Bug fix: If creating a TEX from multiple PNG files, sometimes not all
PNG sources were used.
- Bug fix: If extracting BRRES files, the informative file '.string-pool.txt'
was sometimes empty.
- The KMP/CAME text output contains now comments about camera, zoom and view
point durations. This helps to find out a good camera setup.
- KMP/CAME scanning: If zoom or view point speed is set to value -1, then the
value is calculated so that the time coincides with the camera running time.
- Internal object database updated.
- The following points improve the diagnostic and analysis features:
- New wszst command: ILIST (or IL): List all images of an archive. To view
all sub archives recursivley, set option --all. Command ILL and ILLL are
short cuts for 'ILIST --long' and 'ILIST --long --long'.
- New option for tool wszst: --sort (-S): Define a sorting method for the
output of commands LIST and ILIST.
- New wszst command: MEMORY: Print a (recursive) memory map of all sources.
- New option --cut for "wszst LIST" and "wszst MEMORY": Cut different non
archive files into peaces (headers, groups, sections, ...) and list these
peaces as single sub files for a more detailed analysis.
Supported file types: BMG, BREFT-IMG, KMP, TEX, TPL and BRRES sub files.

Version 0.21a.beta1 r3092
- New wszst commands: XDECODE (=XD) as short cut for "EXTRACT --decode" and
XALL (=XA) as short cut for "EXTRACT --all".
- KMP encoder: Support of names for route points (section POTI).
- Mipmap support improved:
- If reading a TEX or BREFT, all mipmaps are scanned and internal stored.
- If reading a TPL file, all images are scanned internal stored.
- If reading a PNG, the tools search mipmap files.
- If storing a PNG, one PNG file is created for each image.
- If saving a format, all images are saved. The mipmaps of TEX and BREFT
are resized to have the correct size (half of the previos image).
- Option --no-mipmaps disables mipmap support.
- Option --n-mipmaps=NUM force the number of mipmaps. If needed, the
missing mipmaps are created from the existing images.
