+******* HISTORY v2.* *******
+*******************************************************************************
+
+szs v2.00a r7754 - 2019-02-22
+
+ - Windows version only: Update to Cygwin DLL 3.0.0 / 2019-02-16.
+ - A binary KCL with different section order is accepted now (like KMP before).
+ - The new option --repair-magics[=MODE] controls the reparing of missing or
+ wrong magics of files and sub-files by analysing file path and file
+ extension. MODE is one of OFF, ANALYSE or REPAIR.
+ - Command FLOAT accepts '+' and '-' to print the nearest successor and
+ predecessor of the previous value.
+ - New command: wszst VR-CALC: Calculate a VR increment for each given delta
+ value (=VR_winner-VR_loser). Print results as table.
+ - New command: wszst VR-RACE: Print a table with VR calculations for a race.
+ Each VR is the current rating of a player.
+ - wstrt analyse StaticR.rel: Detect modifications of cannon parameters.
+ - wstrt: New option: --cannon=IDX,P1,P2,P3,P4: Define parameters of cannon
+ with index IDX (0..2).
+ - New mode for option --patch-bmg: 'REGEX=list', where LIST is a semicolon
+ separated list of "/REGEX/REPLACE/" expressions (POSIX Extended Regex).
+ See https://szs.wiimm.de/opt/patch-bmg for details.
+ - New command: wbmgt REGEXP: Test implementation of regular expressions.
+ - New tool: wlect: Manage the LE-CODE (Leserattes CT-CODE) extension.
+ TOOL IS EXPERIMENTAL AND CAN'T BE USED WITHOUT ADDITIONAL FILES!
+ - Tool wctct accept LE-BIN files (LE-CODE binaries) as input.
+ - Global option --le-code: Enable LE-CODE (Leserattes CT-CODE) support for all
+ tools. It includes option --ct-code.
+
+
+szs v2.01a r7798 - 2019-03-16
+
+ - Bug fix for BMG processing: Tools ran into endless loop, if an incorrect
+ 1A-escape tells a length of zero.
+ - BMG Filter option --msg renamed to the more meaningful name --filter-bmg.
+ The old name is still available.
+ - BMG Filter option --filter-bmg=modes supports more keywords now.
+ See https://szs.wiimm.de/opt/filter-bmg for details.
+ - Option --patch-bmg=mode[cond][=param]: The new optional condition COND is
+ either '?MID' or '!MID'. In case of '?MID', the patch is only applied if
+ the message id MID already exists. In case of '!MID', the patch is only
+ applied if the message id MID does not exists.
+ - New command: wszst NAME-REF: For each BRRES file or subfile, create a name
+ based cross reference and print the result as list in selectable order.
+ - Some minor bugs on arena name replication to CT/LE slots fixed.
+ - New option: --links: Support hardlinks if creating U8 and WU8 archives.
+ Keep hardlinks if normalizing U8 and WU8 archives. On extracting, search
+ hardlinks in every archive and try to create hardlinks at local file system.
+ - KMP object database updated by CT-Wiiki.
+ - LE-CODE support completed for the moment.
+ - Support for new file format LEX (LE-CODE extension).
+ Commands for tool wlect: CREATE, CAT, DECODE, ENCODE.
+ See http://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/LEX for LEX details.
+
+
+szs v2.01b r7802 - 2019-03-21
+
+ - Bug fix for v2.01a: The string support of the text parser had an memory
+ allocation bug. wctct uses the new string functions since v2.01 and
+ produces occasional (~25%) wrong CT-CODE files (strap files).
+
+
+szs v2.02a r7827 - 2019-05-04
+
+ - New option for wlect: --move1-tracks: Files with more than one hard link
+ are copied and removed and not moved to create an unique version of the
+ file.
+ - New assigning operator for BMG text files: "MID1 : MID2": Copy attributes
+ and text of message MID2 to message MID1. Forward and chained references
+ are allowed. Multi message ids like 'T12' are supported on both sides.
+ - New escape sequence for BMG text files: \m{a,b,...}: Each parameter is
+ interpreted as message id. If a message with given ID exists (must be
+ defined before and must not have an assigned value), then insert the text
+ of the message.
+ - New option for wszst EXTRACT: --basedir=DIRECTORY: Extract only files from
+ archives, that are below the DIRECTORY. Leading points and slashes and
+ trailing slahes are removed from the parameter. --bdir is short cut.
+ - New command: wszst XCOMMON: Scan archives and extract files from archives,
+ that are below directory 'common'. Command XCOMMON is a short cut for
+ EXTRACT --basedir=common.
+ - New command: wszst ANALYZE: Analyse track files and print resulta in
+ machine readable format.
+
+
+szs v2.03a r7854 - 2019-05-25
+ - Command wszst CHECK: Hints about special files in subdirectory ./Common/.
+ - Command wszst/wkmpt CHECK: Hints about special GOBJ settings, that are
+ recognized by LE-CODE only.
+ - Bug fix for wszst ANALYZE --json: Object names are enclosed by quotes now.
+ - New option: --macro-bmg=file: Load a BMG file and add or overwrite the
+ messages to the macro library. The macro library is accessed by escape
+ sequence \m{MID} as fallback.
+ - New escape sequence for BMG text files: \M{a,b,...}: Each parameter is
+ interpreted as message id. If a message with given ID is defined by the
+ macro library, then insert the text of the message.
+ - New command: wkmpt KTPT: Analyse the start positions (KMP:KTPT) and lap
+ counters (KMP:CKPT) and print a simple information list. Use enemy points
+ (KMP:ENPT) to find recommendations. This command is dedicated to LE-CODE,
+ which supports an alternative position for the finish line at the minimap.
+ - New patch option for wszst and wkmpt: --ktpt2=vector
+ Insert or replace a second KTPT. Use VECTOR as new position. Then find
+ nearest lap counter (CKPT with mode 0) and adjust position and direction.
+
+
+szs v2.04a r7864 - 2019-06-02
+
+ - New option for wszst and wimgt: --cmpr-default=rgb1[,rgb2]
+ Define 2 colors for the case, that all 16 pixels of a CMPR block are
+ transparent. The default is to calculate an average color of all
+ transparent pixels. Before v2.04 white was used.
+ - Command wszst DISTRIBUTION: Added battle arena support.
+ - Option --bmg-inline removed. It is deprecated since 2015.
+
+
+szs v2.05a r7879 - 2019-06-09
+
+ - Warnings for not supported versions and for wrong number of sections of
+ BRRES sub files (CHR, CLR, MDL, PAT, SCN, SHP, SRT and TEX) implemented.
+ Some of these invalid sub files will freeze the Wii:
+ - New command: wszst BRSUB: If no file is defined, print a table with
+ known BRRES sub files consisting of file format, version, number of
+ sections and warn message. Otherwise analyse the version number and
+ number of sections of each BRRES sub file of each source and print
+ warnings about invalid sub files. This is like command CHECK, but only
+ for BRRES sub files.
+ - Command wszst CHECK will check BRRES files now. For SZS files, all BRRES
+ sub files are checked. At the moment only valid version numbers and
+ number of sections are tested.
+ - Command wszst LIST: If displaying version numbers, invalid version
+ numbers for BRRES sub files will be marked by an appended "!" and
+ highlighted by magenta background if colors are activated.
+ - Bug fix for wszst DISTRIBUTION: Scanning of slot numbers failed.
+ - Option --ktpt2 accepts keyword AUTO now and calculates the position
+ automatically. The result is the recommendation of command wkmpt KTPT.
+
+
+szs v2.06a r7905 - 2019-07-01
+
+ - Bug fix for wszst CHECK: The summary will include BRRES error counters now.
+ A summary line is also printed, if a standalone BRRES file is checked.
+ - New command: wlect DL: Short cut for: wlect DUMP --long
+ - New command: wlect DLL: Short cut for: wlect DUMP --long --long
+ - Tool wlect: Option --perf-mon=FORCE enables performance counter for Dolphin.
+ - Command wlect DUMP --verbose: Slot usage map is colored now.
+ - Command wszst ANALYZE prints more details now.
+ - CT-CODE definition files: Added additional and optional field IDENTIFIER to
+ optimize track-to-cup references.
+ - Support for outdated LE-CODE phase 1 removed.
+ - Bug fix for option --ktpt2: KMP is marked as modified now, so that the
+ KMP of the source file is updated..
+ - Support of files ObjFlow.bin and GeoHitTable*.bin (binary and text).
+ - New commands: wszst BINARY and wszst TEXT: Both commands work like the
+ ENCODE and DECODE commands of the other tools. The main idea is to support
+ simple text-to-binary and binary-to-text conversions of new file formats by
+ tool wszst instead of creating own tools for every new file format.
+ - Command wszst BINARY: Read each source file (binary or text, but not an
+ archive) and write it as binary file.
+ - Command wszst TEXT: Read each source file (binary or text, but not an
+ archive) and write it as text file.
+ - Currently supported file formats are BMG, GEOHIT, KCL, KMP, LEX,
+ OBJFLOW, PAT and the related text formats.
+ - New option: wszst --delta: Print only modified records on text output.
+ Supported file formats until now: GEOHIT, OBJFLOW
+
+
+szs v2.07a r7960 - 2019-08-30
+
+ - New file formats to distinguish GeoHitTable*.bin (standard variant) from
+ GeoHitTable*Obj.bin ("Obj" variant).
+ - Command wszst TEXT for OBJFLOW and GEOHIT updated to support new file
+ formats and new features.
+ - If extracting an U8 or WU8 archive, then course.kcl.*, course.kmp.txt and
+ course.lex.txt are always added to the exclude list of control file
+ wszst-setup.txt. Files course.kcl, course.kmp and course.lex are added to
+ the encode list. Before the files were only added, if the binary file
+ exists and option --decode was set.
+ - Command wlect CREATE CANNON: Create a LEX text file with cannon section
+ only.
+ - Command wszst ANALYZE updated to support calculated attributes of tracks
+ for web site https://ct.wiimm.de/
+ - BMG section INF1: Maximum attribute length increased from 16 to 32 bytes.
+ - BMG: The tools support only BMG encoding #2 (UTF-16/be) fully. Encoding #1
+ (CP1252) can be read, but not be stored as binary BMG file. Error messages
+ are printed for unsupported encodings.
+ - BMG: Unknown parameters of sections INF1 and MID1 are scanned and written.
+ - New BMG option: --bmg-encoding=NAME: Force a BMG encoding. It is only
+ relevant if creating a BMG file. Accepted encoding names are: CP-1252,
+ UTF-16BE (or UTF-16), SHIFT-JIS, UTF-8 and AUTO for automatic detection
+ (default). Same keywords without minus signs are accepted too.
+ At the moment, only encodings CP-1252 and UTF-16BE are supported on reading
+ and only encoding UTF-16BE on writing a binary BMG. MKWii uses UTF-16BE.
+ - New command: wbmgt EXTRACT name source: Extract BMG section NAME of file
+ SOURCE and write the binary data to standard output. If NAME consists of
+ less than 4 characters, then the first section that starts with these
+ characters is dumped.
+ - New command: wbmgt SECTIONS source...: List all sections of each binary
+ BMG file. Print offset, size, magic and a short info. If known, print
+ number and size of elements too.
+
+
+szs v2.08a r7979 - 2019-09-05
+
+ - BMG: Encoding of types CP1252, UTF-16be, Shift-JIS and UTF-8 are fully
+ supported now.
+ - New command: wbmgt SLOTS source...: Print a slot ordered list with slot
+ number, message id, delta and attributes.
+ - BMG supports predifined slots now. These slot assignments are detected
+ automatically while reading binary BMG files. Slot assignments are saved to
+ and scanned from BMG text files.
+ - BMG text files: Each message ID can be followed by '@SLOT' to force a slot
+ number for the message.
+ - BMG: Unknown sections are stored as hex dumps into BMG text files. The hex
+ dumps can be edited and are scanned on reading. Each section is started by
+ parameter "@SECTION NAME".
+ - BMG section INF1: Maximum attribute length increased from 32 to 40 bytes.
+
+
+szs v2.09a r8000 - 2019-09-24
+
+ - BMG section "STR1" detected, but not supported. Metrics are displayed.

+ - Cygwin (Windows) version: Updated color support again.
+
+
+szs v2.11a r8074 - 2020-01-18
+
+ - wszst ANALYSE --sh --array: Output format fixed.
+ - New keywords for option --filter-bmg: ALLCODE, ALLCUPS, ALLTRACKS,
+ ALLARENAS and ALLREFS.
+ - The optional parameter of option --le-code (LE-CODE phase) is deprecated
+ and ignored. From now on, option --le-code always enables LE-CODE (phase 2)
+ and CT-CODE support.
+ - Deprecated and useless option --smart removed.
+ - KMP/GOBJ, ID: Support of objects flags in bits 10-15 (0xfc00) for LE-CODE.
+ - File course.lex: Support of new section TEST. It forces game modes like
+ "Online, 12 players, itemrain" to test them in standard offline versus.
+ - wlect CREATE: New keywords. Call the command without keyword to get a list.
+ - wszst+wlect: New options to create, modify or delete course.lex and/or LEX
+ section TEST: --lt-clear, --lt-online, --lt-n-players and --lt-game-mode.
+ So patching a track file to test special conditions becomes easy.
+ - General support of 'extended presence flags'.
+ - KMP/GOBJ: Detect definition-objects and references.
+ - New commands for KMP/GOBJ for easier handling: $DEFOBJ-RACE and

+ - Hints and warnings about extended objects.
+ - New command: wkmpt GAMEMODES: Analyze the presence flags combinations with
+ and without extension support and print a list.
+ - New command: wszst DUPLICATE: It reads a single track file and duplicates

+ and without extension support and creates one file for each relevant
+ scenario. A LEX section TEST will be inserted to force the execution mode
+ for offline tests.
+ - New option for commands wkmpt GAMEMODES and wszst DUPLICATE:
+ --gamemodes=list: Select game modes for the list.
+ - See http://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/Extension_of_Presence_Flags for details
+ about the new Extension of Presence Flags.

+ length of the file header.
+
+
+szs v2.11b r8079 - 2020-01-20
+

+ conditions created by previous v2.11a.
+ - Small text corrections in the new texts of the previous version.
+
+
+szs v2.12a r8129 - 2020-02-07
+
+ - Parser: Bug fix for shift-right operator if shifted value is an integer.
+ - If using --force or --kmp=force, the KMP scanner ignores the size stored in
+ the file header and uses the file size instead.
+ - New command: wkmpt diff: Compare the KMP of two or more sources (KMP,
+ KMP-text or SZS). Each KMP will be converted into the internal format,
+ fixed and patched controlled by options. The known sections are compared,
+ some of them sorted before.
+ - New option to support wkmpt diff: --diff=list: List of KMP sections names
+ that should be compared. Additional keywords possible.
+ - New option to support wkmpt diff: --epsilon=float: When comparing floating
+ point numbers, 2 numbers are considered identical if their difference is
+ less than or equal to epsilon.
+ - New option: --repair-xpflags: Load a KMP file and use it to repair the
+ settings of the extended presence flags, if they are destroyed by another
+ KMP tool. --repxpf is a short cut for this option.
+ - Option --auto-add was broken for objects, if flags (bits 10-12) were set.
+ Bit 12 is used by extended presence flags (XPF).
+ - Support of random selections of KMP/GOBJ objects:
+ - 6 random scenarios supported.
+ - New keyword for option --gamemodes: RANDOM.

+ valid object nor a definiton object for LE-CODE.
+ - wszst ANALYSE + Check KMP: Analysis of KTPT, ENPT and ITPT to find values
+ outside range +-131071 where items can not be used online. Additionally a
+ recommendation for using option --shift and/or LEX section SET1 is printed.
+
+
+szs v2.14a r8160 - 2020-02-29
+
+ - KMP text processor: Settings of definition objects are printed in hex now.
