Release Highlights
Feature: cache ROM header & file signature detection
This will be an important performance boost ahead of various compressed disc support coming in v3. Thank you @dch82 for the suggestion!
Fixes: various performance bugs
- Checksums for files in the output directory are no longer calculated when not testing.
- Files being written to the same location (when the input and output directories are the same) are now skipped again, skipping expensive checksum calculations when testing.
Fixes: reducing concurrent file actions
- The concurrent filesize reading limit has been lowered to reduce disk thrash.
- Hashing of archive files when raw-copying now respects concurrent filesize read limits.

igir, and other open-source projects like it, are a labor of love. They wouldn't be nearly as meaningful without the community supporting them. Constructive feedback and general positivity will always be welcome. Be kind to others, and be kind to yourselves.
