v2.0.4
Release Highlights
Fixes: ROM set merging & splitting
@nottanumber continues to graciously help test edge cases in merging & splitting MAME sets, in lieu of proper MAME ListXML documentation existing on the internet.
Fix: non-fullnonmerged (nonmerged, split, merged) sets now include BIOS ROMs that don't exist in a BIOS set somewhere else. This would have affected machines such as aes that aren't marked as a device, have no parent, and yet specify some BIOS ROMs.
Fix: status="nodump" ROMs are now ignored as there is no chance of finding them, and DATs do not have checksum information for them. mame -verifyroms will report these games as "is best available."
Fix: don't infer parent/clone information for DATs that have some
@jmf626 brought up some cases where DAT parent/clone information should be trusted and parent/clone inference is dangerous, such as different series numberings in different regions (e.g. NES Black Bass, The (USA) is the same game as Black Bass II, The (Japan)).
Parent/clone inference will no longer be performed if a DAT has any parent/clone information.

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.
