Changelog:
- added support for ruby shader folders (place in "Video Shaders/")
- higan now also looks in your shared folder for configuration files and
system media folders
- added CFBundleExecutable key to OS X Info.plist
Shared folder locations:
- Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\higan
- Windows 7: C:\ProgramData\higan
- OS X: /Library/Application Support/higan
- Linux: /etc/higan
Evaluation order:
- look for item in binary folder: if found, use this folder
- look for item in user folder: if found, use this folder
- look for item in shared folder: if found, use this folder
- create item in user folder
For people repackaging higan for other distros: you should chmod 777
/etc/higan. Failure to do so could result in higan breaking. No, I will
not copy the files from the shared path to the user path.

This is the first release with full support for OS X, although it's
certainly still very buggy.
Known issues:
- window status bars are still unsupported (they just don't show up)
- you get the bad keypress chime when you use the keyboard
- window geometry and font metrics aren't perfect (bit of clipping here
and there)
- list view headers that aren't auto-sized are sometimes too short (file
browser)
- input assignment is really rough (assigning a key also moves around in
the list or beeps at you)
Custom OS X integration support so far:
- 512x512 ICNS application icon: will look razor-sharp even on a retina
display
- basic Info.plist added to application bundle
- program menu about, preferences, quit all connected
- Settings->Configuration removed (use higan->Preferences instead)
- global menubar
To compile and use this, you'll need:
- Xz Utils (to extract .tar.xz)
- Xcode 4.6
- Lion 10.7.4 or newer
mkdir higan_v092r04
tar -xJf higan_v092r04.tar.xz -C higan_v092r04
cd higan_v092r04
make -j 2
ananke is missing, and I haven't updated purify yet, so you'll have to
move game folders from Windows or Linux over, or make them by hand (a
not so enjoyable experience, to say the least.)
