Here is the first unstable version of 5.5 series: 5.5.0 Beta !

So what's new?

• Mostly behind the scene changes, this version is still entirely compiled with Borland Delphi 7, but with few modifications it should already work quite fine compiled under Lazarus\Freepascal.
• HypeRipper 5.6 Beta 1: Merged plugin into the core and removed plugin support!
• Removed use of JCL & JVCL libraries (now using standard VCL ones)
• Many bug fixes and usability enhancements.
• New games file formats supported:
  • The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (with some limitations) .XTC and .XWC
  • F1 Manager 2000 .RFC/.RFD/.RFH (partial support)
  • The Fifth Element .MRC
  • Prototype .RCF
  • Scarface .RCF
  • Vietcong .CBF (full support: decrypt & decompress thanks to Luigi Auriemma)

Now for 5.5/5.6, I will be working into migrating the project to Lazarus/FreePascal (from Delphi 7). This should bring some cool stuff (native Linux support?).

Here is the preview feature! Finally!! Version 5 is getting really close to be on par with the features of version 4.

I tested it as much as I could, it was working very fine (and fast) but I will let you judge!

What's in this new version:

• Preview feature
• Added support for AGON series .SFL (without folders, I will try to figure out how they work) thanks to XentaX Wiki.
• Fixed HyperRipper bug (missing some entries) --> Thanks to Psych0phobiA for the patch.
• Added Truevision Targa TGA support to HyperRipper --> Thanks to Psych0phobiA for the patch.

Plus many small fixes and enhancements. Enjoy!
