New Features

Missing games admin page

There’s a new tag under the Library Management section of the admin panel that displays all ROMs present in the database but missing from the file system. You can choose to delete single games, groups of games using multi-select, or simply purge (cleanup) all missing games from the database with a single click.

https://github.com/rommapp/romm/pull/2172

Smart collections

Create smart, self-updating collections for a selection of search terms and filters! On the search page, change the search term and/or filters, and a new button will appear in the top bar. The dialog will display which filters will be set and allow you to give this smart collection a name and description.

Note: the list of games will only update when you view the contents of the collection
