Version 0.13.1
- Improved performance when large numbers of sprites were being drawn.
- Added more configuration options.

- Improved stability / fixed access violations.
- Fixed slowdown near volcano (regression).
- Fixed offset texture issue with PyTK.

Version 0.13.0-Beta.2
- Normalized all path-strings to use '\' instead of '/'.
- Removed some old, unused config options.
- Made it easier to define the outdated config version.
- Added more sliced texture overrides.
- Added some more explicit gradient textures to the resampling blacklist. Once gradient support is in, these can be removed.
- Made the blacklist support regular expressions (start the expression with '@')
- Added a high-memory texture cache function. Needs more work, mainly that SMAPI needs to be patched so we know what textures are being invalidated so we can flush the instances, otherwise it's slower.
- Renamed 'SafeName' to 'NormalizedName'.
- Made the config file support multiple comments per option.
- Improved the resource/asset debug dumper.
- Added a dependency on Nito.Collections.Deque (used by the warp point calculator for Dijkstra's).
- Added a name to the Cache Trim Thread ("Cache Trim Thread").
- Added a forced garbage collection for generations 0 and 1, every N ticks (TransientGCTickCount, defaults to 150).

- Made Harmonize honor 'critical' when an assembly could not be found (discovered in new mod-specific patch).
- Fixed a critical bug in the TextureCache, where the 'stream' argument was being passed as a FileStream instead of a Stream. This caused rather annoying crashes.
- Improved the performance and capabilities of the TextureCache.
- Began marking all Harmonized methods as 'public', as they are indeed root methods.
- Fixed a bug where one or both of the source axes were negative; they were being stretched instead of being offset by the inverse of the value. This resulted in character portraits with the "UIInfoSuite2" during their birthdays being stretched downwards.
- Marked lighting sprites as needing linear wrapping instead of point wrapping. This resolves a vanilla bug which causes weird semi-moiré patterns due to different-sized point-sampled art being overlaid at fractional intervals.
- Added an 'ExtentI' type which represents a value between two points (or a line, or whatever). Added properties to Bounds to get extents for both axes.

- [EXTRA] Added some code to optimize the game's engine task runner (Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Threading.actions).
- [EXTRA] Added additional options to the snow renderer.
- [EXTRA] Made the snow renderer reference a new reference (my) screen area, so the snow density is uniform.
- [EXTRA] Regenerate the snow buffer when the screen is resized.
- [EXTRA] Added puffersnow (disabled by default).
- [EXTRA] Added a patch to improve load performance with the mod 'CustomNPCFixes'. Disabled by default as it requires a ContentPatcher PR.

- Added more code to try to prevent InternalTexture2Ds from inadvertently creating metadata structures.
- Added the ability to query for texture metadata without creating it.
- Significant improvements to Texture2DMeta and SpriteMap.

SpriteMaster - Stardew Valley Mod (SMAPI / Harmony)

Stardew Valley mod that resamples all sprites using the xBRZ resizing algorithm.

Compatible with almost any content-modifying mod.

Also smooths lines (such as the fishing line) and reimplements snowstorm drawing so it looks much better as well as improves runtime and load performance.

All options are togglable, including resampling/smoothing.

The mod also incorporates patches for the game, for SMAPI, and for various mods to improve performance and the user's experience:

Various patches to game and SMAPI methods to improve both load-time and runtime performance.
Reworked snowstorm effect that isn't blinding or repetitive.
Completely reworked pathfinding to improve load times.
Supports both xBRZ and EPX resampling algorithms.

Compatible with Windows, Linux, and MacOS!
