This is the master changelog for Elite Dangerous Market Connector. Entries are in reverse chronological order (latest first).
---
Pre-Release 4.2.0-beta3
Release 4.2.0
===
* Allow `--force-localserver-for-auth` to actually work. See [#891
`--force-localserver-for-auth` fails due to JounalLock being imported from
monitor.py](https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/issues/891)
*This release increases the Minor version due to the major change in how
multiple-instance checking is done.*
Pre-Release 4.2.0-beta2
===
This release actually includes the commits to enable Steam and Epic
authentication.
**NB: The correct form for the runas command is as follows:**
`runas /user:<USER> "\"c:\Program Files (x86)\EDMarketConnector\EDMarketConnector.exe\" --force-localserver-for-auth"`
If anything has messed with the backslash characters there then know that you
need to have " (double-quote) around the entire command (path to program .exe
*and* any extra arguments), and as a result need to place a backslash before
any double-quote characters in the command (such as around the space-including
path to the program).
I've verified it renders correctly [on GitHub](https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/blob/Release/4.2.0-beta2/ChangeLog.md).
Pre-Release 4.2.0-beta1
===
*NB: This contains further work on top of 4.1.7-rc1. Due to the major change
in how multiple-instance checking is done we felt the need to bump the minor
version.*
There is a major change in this release with respect to how the main
application checks if there is already another instance running.
For most users things will operate no differently, although note that the
multiple instance check does now apply to platforms other than Windows.
For anyone wanting to run multiple instances of the program this is now
possible via:
`runas /user:OTHERUSER <path to>EDMarketConnector.exe --force-localserver-for-auth`
The old check was based solely on there being a window present with the title
we expect. This prevented using `runas /user:SOMEUSER ...` to run a second
copy of the application, as the resulting window would still be within the
same desktop environment and thus be found in the check.
The new method does assume that the Journals directory is writable by the
user we're running as. This might not be true in the case of sharing the
file system to another host in a read-only manner. If we fail to open the
lock file read-write then the application aborts the checks and will simply
continue running as normal.
Note that any single instance of EDMarketConnector.exe will still only monitor
and act upon the *latest* Journal file in the configured location. If you run
Elite Dangerous for another Commander then the application will want to start
monitoring that separate Commander. See [wiki:Troubleshooting#i-run-two-instances-of-ed-simultaneously-but-i-cant-run-two-instances-of-edmc](https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/wiki/Troubleshooting#i-run-two-instances-of-ed-simultaneously-but-i-cant-run-two-instances-of-edmc>)
which will be updated when this change is in a full release.
* Adds Steam and Epic to the list of "audiences" in the Frontier Auth callout
so that you can authorise using those accounts, rather than their associated
Frontier Account details.
* Changes the "is there another process already running?" check to be based on
a lockfile in the configured Journals directory. The name of this file is

The lock will be released and applied to the new directory if you change it
via Settings > Configuration. If the new location is already locked you'll
get a 'Retry/Ignore?' pop-up.

which will be updated when this change is in a full release.
* Adds the command-line argument `--force-localserver-for-auth`. This forces
using a local webserver for the Frontier Auth callback. This should be used
when running multiple instances of the application **for all instances**
else there's no guarantee of the `edmc://` protocol callback reaching the
correct process and Frontier Auth will fail.
* Adds Steam and Epic to the list of "audiences" in the Frontier Auth callout
so that you can authorise using those accounts, rather than their associated
Frontier Account details.
* Adds the command-line argument `--suppress-dupe-process-popup` to exit
without showing the warning popup in the case that EDMarketConnector found
another process already running.
