      @Rookervik Since there have been several requests now for a more accessible changelog of EmulationStation, I am going to attempt to create and maintain one. My current plan is to go back as far as when video support was added. That was around the time that I first got involved here and appears to be when development really picked up. I will also try to update the wiki/docs with tutorials on how to use the newer theme features, but those will take a bit of time to write.

      @herb_fargus Are you OK with this being on the RetroPie-Setup wiki/docs or would you prefer it to be in the forums?

        @jdrassa yeah that would be much appreciated. there are some generalised readmes in the emulationstation GitHub that @pjft has added some to, it would be good to have those completed at some point but I think it would also be good to have something in the docs as that's generally where most people go

        @mattrixk did a good job with his basic theme tutorial but perhaps it's worth having a emulationstation theming page that just lays out the features and/or variables.

        I'm sure whatever you come up with will be lovely

        If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

        Also if you want a solution to your problems read this first: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

          Small request: add option to change the menu controls info bar buttons to different ones. It now uses the default ABXY-system, but would be nice to have Playstation-buttons on it as well.

          My soul rests, when I hear the PS1 boot music

            @herb_fargus I want to go back and redo the tutorial with all the new stuff, but there's been so much new stuff that I've fallen behind. I can't guide others in how to do something if I don't know how to do it myself... I'm not management material.

              Forgot to post this early, but I have created a changelog page for EmulationStation on the wiki. I will do my best to keep this updated as changes are added. I am also working on adding documentation/tutorials for some of the newer theme features.

                @jdrassa you're the best! I'm actually surprised about how many features have been added from which I thought have always been there. :D
                Time to do some reading and try all the theme enhancements.
                I found a broken link under point 2.1.3, it shows a 404 page.

                Edit: That also reminds me, didn't you set up a method to get the latest build for Windows?
