Decker recaps versions 1.61 through 1.71
What happened
On October 20, Hacker News' front page featured Decker's annual recap of versions 1.61 through 1.71, headlined "Four Years in Review." The releases add gamepad input support while keeping keyboard controls as a fallback. A new IMG3 image encoder reuses the GIF codec's LZW implementation and shrinks many deck files by 2 to 4 times; if the new encoding brings no gain, it falls back to the old one. The Lil scripting language gains APIs including sys.z, app.kiosk and danger.open[], and mixed-type comparison operators were fixed.
