What's new?

Version 2.5

Plug-in changes:

Added support for opening CIFTREE.DAT files in Nancy Drew #14: Danger By Design and older.
Added support for opening CAL files external to a CIF Tree in Nancy Drew games.
Added a game viewer for Nancy Drew #14: Danger By Design
Renamed "Theora" file type to "Ogg Theora".

Ravioli Scanner changes:

Added a new function to recombine extracted files. This enables modification of items and putting them back together when finished.
Using this function requires that all parts of the file, including all unknown parts, have been extracted before.

Modified items must have the same size than the original items. If a modified item is smaller than the original item, the program can enlarge the file up to the original size automatically. If a modified item is larger, the program does not resize the file automatically and combining will not be allowed.
Added a "Please wait" window shown for longer operations, such as extracting or combining.
Enhanced log output. If nothing was found at a specific position, but log outputs have been created by a detector, a separator is now inserted in the log.

Audio
MPEG Layer 1 Audio	.mp1	At least 10 frames of MPEG audio data are required in succession to accept MPEG audio data as such. This is to prevent false positives, but also means that small files with less than 10 frames will not be detected. Supports ID3v1, ID3v2, Lyrics3 and Lyrics3v2 tags. If any of these tags is found, it is saved along with the audio data. If there is a tag stored before the audio data, like ID3v2, the audio data must follow immediately after the end of the tag. The 10 frame audio data minimum also still applies here. If there is a tag stored after the audio data, like ID3v1, and the audio data does not end exactly at the end of a frame, the tag contents might be truncated.
MPEG Layer 2 Audio	.mp2
MPEG Layer 3 Audio	.mp3
Ogg Vorbis	.ogg
Wave	.wav	Supports little-endian (Windows) and big-endian (Xbox 360) variants.

The following format tags are used to detect whether an audio stream is a WMA audio stream (Windows Media Audio codec IDs / format tags): 0x161 = Windows Media Audio (v7-v9 Series) 0x162 = Windows Media Audio 9 Professional (v9 Series) 0x163 = Windows Media Audio 9 Lossless (v9 Series)
XMA	.xma	The native sound format of the Xbox 360 console. Supports XMA v1 and XMA2 (format tags 0x165 and 0x166). Supports little-endian (Windows) and big-endian (Xbox 360) variants.
