<h2>Release 5.3.0</h2>
<p>As has sadly become routine now, please read
<a href="https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/wiki/Troubleshooting#installer-and-or-executables-flagged-as-malicious-viruses">our statement about malware false positives</a>
affecting our installers and/or the files they contain. We are as confident
as we can be, without detailed auditing of python.org's releases and all
the py2exe source and releases, that there is no malware in the files we make
available.</p>
<p>This release is primarily aimed at fixing some more egregious bugs,
shortcomings and annoyances with the application. It also adds support for
two additional
<a href="https://github.com/EDCD/EDDN/blob/live/README.md">EDDN</a>
schemas.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>We now test and build using Python 3.10.2. We do not <em>yet</em> make use of any
features specific to Python 3.10 (or 3.9). Let us restate that we
absolutely reserve the right to commence doing so.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>We now set a custom User-Agent header in all web requests, i.e. to EDDN,
EDSM and the like. This is of the form:</p>
<p><code>EDCD-EDMarketConnector-&lt;version&gt;</code></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>"File" -&gt; "Status" will now show the new Odyssey ranks, both the new
categories and the new 'prestige' ranks, e.g. 'Elite I'.</p>
<p><strong>NB: Due to an oversight there are currently no translations for these.</strong></p>
<p>Closes <a href="https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/issues/1369">#1369</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Running <code>EDMarketConnector.exe --reset-ui</code> will now also reset any changes to
the application "UI Scale" or geometry (position and size).</p>
<p>Closes <a href="https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/issues/1155">#1155</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>We now use UTC-based timestamps in the application's log files. Prior to
this change it was the "local time", but without any indication of the
applied timezone. Each line's timestamp has <code> UTC</code> as a suffix now. We
are assuming that your local clock is correct <em>and</em> the timezone is set
correctly, such that Python's <code>time.gmtime()</code> yields UTC times.</p>
<p>This should make it easier to correlate application logfiles with in-game
time and/or third-party service timestamps.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The process used to build the Windows installers should now always pick up
all the necessary files automatically. Prior to this we used a manual
process to update the installer configuration which was prone to both user
error and neglecting to update it as necessary.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If the application fails to load valid data from the <code>NavRoute.json</code> file
when processing a Journal <code>NavRoute</code> event, it will attempt to retry this
operation a number of times as it processes subsequent Journal events.</p>
<p>This should hopefully work around a race condition where the game might
not have yet updated <code>NavRoute.json</code> at all, or has truncated it to empty,
when we first attempt this.</p>
<p>We will also now <em>NOT</em> attempt to load <code>NavRoute.json</code> during the startup
'Journal catch-up' mode, which only sets internal state.</p>
<p>Closes <a href="https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/issues/1155">#1348</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Inara: Use the <code>&lt;journal log&gt;-&gt;Statistics-&gt;Bank_Account-&gt;Current_Wealth</code>
value when sending a <code>setCommanderCredits</code> message to Inara to set
<code>commanderAssets</code>.</p>
<p>In addition, a <code>setCommanderCredits</code> message at game login <strong>will now only
ever be sent at game login</strong>. Yes, you will <strong>NEED</strong> to relog to send an
updated balance. This is the only way in which to sanely keep the
'Total Assets' value on Inara from bouncing around.</p>
<p>Refer to <a href="https://inara.cz/inara-api-docs/#event-1" rel="nofollow">Inara:API:docs:setCommanderCredits</a>.</p>
<p>Closes <a href="https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/issues/1401">#1401</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Inara: Send a <code>setCommanderRankPilot</code> message when the player logs in to the
game on-foot. Previously you would <em>HAVE</em> to be in a ship at login time
for this to be sent.</p>
<p>Thus, you can now relog on-foot in order to update Inara with any Rank up
or progress since the session started.</p>
<p>Closes <a href="https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/issues/1378">#1378</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Inara: Fix for always sending a Rank Progress of 0%.</p>
<p>Closes <a href="https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/issues/1378">#1378</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Inara: You should once more see updates for any materials used in
Engineering. The bug was in our more general Journal event processing
code pertaining to <code>EngineerCraft</code> events, such that the state passed to
the Inara plugin hadn't been updated.</p>
<p>Such updates should happen 'immediately', but take into account that there
can be a delay of up to 35 seconds for any data sent to Inara, due to how
we avoid breaking the "2 messages a minute" limit on the Inara API.</p>
<p>Closes <a href="https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/issues/1395">#1395</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>EDDN: Implement new <a href="https://github.com/EDCD/EDDN/blob/live/schemas/approachsettlement-README.md">approachsettlement/1</a>
schema.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>EDDN: Implement new <a href="https://github.com/EDCD/EDDN/blob/live/schemas/fssallbodiesfound-README.md">fssallbodiesfound/1</a>
schema.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>EDDN: We now compress all outgoing messages. This might help get some
particularly large <code>navroute</code> messages go through.</p>
<p>If any message is now rejected as 'too large' we will drop it, and thus
not retry it later. The application logs will reflect this.</p>
<p>NB: The EDDN Gateway was updated to allow messages up to 1 MiB in size
anyway. The old limit was 100 KiB.</p>
<p>Closes <a href="https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/issues/1390">#1390</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>EDDN: In an attempt to diagnose some errors observed on the EDDN Gateway
with respect to messages sent from this application some additional checks
and logging have been added.</p>
<p><strong>NB: After some thorough investigation it was concluded that these EDDN
errors were likely the result of long-delayed messages due to use of
the "Delay sending until docked" option.</strong></p>
<p>There should be no functional changes for users. But if you see any of
the following in this application's log files <strong>PLEASE OPEN
<a href="https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/issues/new?assignees=&amp;labels=bug%2C+unconfirmed&amp;template=bug_report.md&amp;title=">AN ISSUE ON GITHUB</a>
with all the requested information</strong>, so that we can correct the relevant
code:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>No system name in entry, and system_name was not set either! entry: ...</code></li>
<li><code>BodyName was present but not a string! ...</code></li>
<li><code>post-processing entry contains entry ...</code></li>
<li><code>this.body_id was not set properly: ...</code></li>
<li><code>system is falsey, can't add StarSystem</code></li>
<li><code>this.coordinates is falsey, can't add StarPos</code></li>
<li><code>this.systemaddress is falsey, can't add SystemAddress</code></li>
<li><code>this.status_body_name was not set properly: ...</code></li>
</ul>
<p>You might also see any of the following in the application status text
(bottom of the window):</p>
<ul>
<li><code>passed-in system_name is empty, can't add System</code></li>
<li><code>CodexEntry had empty string, PLEASE ALERT THE EDMC DEVELOPERS</code></li>
<li><code>system is falsey, can't add StarSystem</code></li>
<li><code>this.coordinates is falsey, can't add StarPos</code></li>
<li><code>this.systemaddress is falsey, can't add SystemAddress</code></li>

<a id="user-content-translations" class="anchor" href="#translations" aria-hidden="true"><span aria-hidden="true" class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>Translations</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Use a different workaround for OneSky (translations website) using "zh-Hans"
for Chinese (Simplified), whereas Windows will call this "zh-CN". This is
in-code and documented with a comment, as opposed to some 'magic' in the
Windows Installer configuration that had no such documentation. It's less
fragile than relying on that, or developers using a script/documented
process to rename the file.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>As noted above we forgot to upload to
<a href="https://marginal.oneskyapp.com/collaboration/project/52710" rel="nofollow">OneSky</a>
after adding the Odyssey new ranks/categories. This has now been done,
and some new phrases await translation.</p>

</ul>
<h2>Release 5.2.4</h2>
<p>This is a <em>very</em> minor update that simply imports the latest versions of
data files so that some niche functionality works properly.</p>
