v2.2.1 is a bugfix release for v2.2. Major changes include:
Major changes in v2.3 include:

* Handle JPEG images using Exif containers. A good number of boxarts from the
PS1/PS2 section of RPDB use Exif containers, so this ensures they can be
loaded properly.
* xattrs tab on Linux now shows XFS attributes.

* Windows: Fix weird thumbnail aspect ratios for non-square images on current
Windows versions.
* rpcli now supports extracting mipmap levels from most supported texture formats.
* Mipmaps are now supported for DirectDrawSurface and KhronosKTX.

* KDE: Fix metadata extraction.
* Windows: Dark Mode is now supported on Windows 10 1809 and later in the
installation program and rp-config.
* Dark Mode is also partially supported in the properties pages when using
tools such as StartAllBack, though it has some issues right now.

* Preliminary support for Windows on ARM. The Windows distribution includes
DLLs compiled for ARM, ARM64, and ARM64EC, and svrplus has been updated
to register these DLLs if an ARM system is detected. Note that svrplus
has *not* been tested on any ARM systems yet.
* Sparse disc images, e.g. CISO and GCZ, are now handled by the RomDataFactory
class instead of requiring each RomData subclass to handle it. This means
that all supported sparse disc images can be used for any console.
* This was originally implemented to support ZISO and PSP CISO for PS2 disc
images, but it also allows unusual combinations like DAX and JISO for
GameCube disc images.

Major changes in v2.2 include:
* Windows Image files (.wim) are now supported. Contributed by @ecumber.

* PlayStation 1 and 2 cover art images using RPDB, mirrored from the following
GitHub repositories:
* https://github.com/xlenore/psx-covers
* https://github.com/xlenore/ps2-covers
* Game Boy now has special handling MMC01 and MBC1M multicarts. The main header
is now detected correctly and used for the thumbnail image. All games in the
multicart are now shown as individual tabs.

* Extended attribute viewer tab. Supports viewing MS-DOS and (on Linux)
EXT2 attributes on supported file systems, plus POSIX extended attributes.
* On Windows, alternate data streams are displayed as extended attributes.
* Windows xattr functionality currently does not work on Windows XP.
* Commodore DOS disk images (e.g. for Commodore 1541) are now supported,
including icons for GEOS files. File formats supported currently include
D64, D71, D80, D82, D81, G64, and G71.

* GodotSTEX: Update v4 support for changes in the final version of Godot 4.

* New RomHeaderTest unit test to verify `rpcli` output against a set of known
ROM headers and reference text and JSON output.
* New translations: Romanian and Italian

Translators wanted; if you can translate rom-properties from English to another

(If you would like to translate to a language not currently listed on the
Crowdin project page, file an issue here on GitHub with the requested
language.)
