Version 0.13

• convert-all-flts now deletes the tiny, useless FLT files generated by BMS with the -acmi flag in 2D.
• convert-all-flts deletes *.flt.cnt files.

Known Issues

• flt2vhs continues to use very crappy heuristics to see if it should merge files. To avoid accidentally merging multiple flights into the same VHS file, run convert-all-flts after each flight, or run flt2vhs directly. (You can drag & drop FLT files onto flt2vhs!)
• convert-all-flts can fail if BMS is running (especially with -acmi). Please close BMS before running it.

Add support for BMS 4.35 Update 3

Version 0.11

• Handle an apparent BMS bug where unique ID's... aren't unique and get shared by an entity (moving thing) and feature (static thing).

• Minor: Speed up logging

• Minor: Improve error reporting on VHS write failure

Version 0.10

• Add BMS 4.35U2 support to patch-bms-novhs

• .flt files are now converted in sorted order - this should make
  merging more reliable.

Version 0.9

VHS files are now memory-mapped and written in parallel.
Speedup depends heavily on disk performance, but saving is now about 30%
faster (several seconds for a 1+ GB replay) on my SSD setup.

Version 0.8

• Experimental feature: flt2vhs now merges adjacent FLT files!
  Tacview sometimes struggles to merge files, leaving "ghost" planes
  hanging in the air where one file ended and the next began.
  flt2vhs now takes a crack at merging files itself. The merge
  algorithm is simplistic - find the closest object in the next file
  that's the same type as the object in the previous one - but it works
  well in initial tests.

• convert-all-flts now calls flt2vhs on all FLT files at once and exits.
  It no longer waits for files BMS is writing - use patch-bms-novhs to
  disable BMS's slow conversion.

• Reduce VHS output size by changing object IDs to make the callsign
  table as dense as possible.

• Experiment: Use a faster hash.

Version 0.7

• Rename flt-mover to convert-all-flts. "FLT mover" was a crappy
  name to start with, and the new name conveys its main purpose now that
  you don't need it running in the background to stop BMS from its pokey
  ways.

• convert-all-flts: Always base VHS name on the FLT's creation time.

• flt2vhs: Be more careful not to overwrite files with corrupted junk.

• Minor other improvements, e.g., nicer error printing.

Version 0.6

• Add patch-bms-novhs, a program that patches Falcon BMS.exe
  so that it doesn't convert FLT files to VHS files, removing the need
  for flt-mover. After running it, just:

  • Record your flight normally to an acmi1234.flt file

  • BMS should no longer stop to convert the file before showing the
    debrief screen.

  • At your leisure, convert the FLT to VHS.
    (You can even drag and drop the FLT onto flt2vhs!)

• Move FLT deletion to flt2vhs

Version 0.5

• Extend tracer time of flight from 2.5 to 5 seconds.
  Tracers in a BMS recording are just an initial position,
  velocity, and the time they have to exist. At 2.5 seconds,
  they often disappear from TacView before passing their target.

• Stop warning about feature events with no feature.
  It's weird, but users can't do anything about it.

• Add --color <always/auto/never> option to control whether output is
  colored. Defaults to auto.

Version 0.4

• Previous builds were built with target-cpu=native by mistake (doh!), causing crashes for users with older CPUs that lacked AVX2.

• Minor flt2vhs UI improvements (print file sizes, etc.)

• Smaller binaries (built without DWARF debug info, which isn't useful unless users have a way of providing crash dumps)
