Release 5.3.0

+

As has sadly become routine now, please read +our statement about malware false positives +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.

+

This release is primarily aimed at fixing some more egregious bugs, +shortcomings and annoyances with the application. It also adds support for +two additional +EDDN +schemas.

+
    +
  • +

    We now test and build using Python 3.10.2. We do not yet 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.

    +
    • +
  • +

    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:

    +

    EDCD-EDMarketConnector-<version>

    +
    • +
  • +

    "File" -> "Status" will now show the new Odyssey ranks, both the new +categories and the new 'prestige' ranks, e.g. 'Elite I'.

    +

    NB: Due to an oversight there are currently no translations for these.

    +

    Closes #1369.

    +
    • +
  • +

    Running EDMarketConnector.exe --reset-ui will now also reset any changes to +the application "UI Scale" or geometry (position and size).

    +

    Closes #1155.

    +
    • +
  • +

    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 UTC as a suffix now. We +are assuming that your local clock is correct and the timezone is set +correctly, such that Python's time.gmtime() yields UTC times.

    +

    This should make it easier to correlate application logfiles with in-game +time and/or third-party service timestamps.

    +
    • +
  • +

    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.

    +
    • +
  • +

    If the application fails to load valid data from the NavRoute.json file +when processing a Journal NavRoute event, it will attempt to retry this +operation a number of times as it processes subsequent Journal events.

    +

    This should hopefully work around a race condition where the game might +not have yet updated NavRoute.json at all, or has truncated it to empty, +when we first attempt this.

    +

    We will also now NOT attempt to load NavRoute.json during the startup +'Journal catch-up' mode, which only sets internal state.

    +

    Closes #1348.

    +
    • +
  • +

    Inara: Use the <journal log>->Statistics->Bank_Account->Current_Wealth +value when sending a setCommanderCredits message to Inara to set +commanderAssets.

    +

    In addition, a setCommanderCredits message at game login will now only +ever be sent at game login. Yes, you will NEED 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.

    +

    Refer to Inara:API:docs:setCommanderCredits.

    +

    Closes #1401.

    +
    • +
  • +

    Inara: Send a setCommanderRankPilot message when the player logs in to the +game on-foot. Previously you would HAVE to be in a ship at login time +for this to be sent.

    +

    Thus, you can now relog on-foot in order to update Inara with any Rank up +or progress since the session started.

    +

    Closes #1378.

    +
    • +
  • +

    Inara: Fix for always sending a Rank Progress of 0%.

    +

    Closes #1378.

    +
    • +
  • +

    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 EngineerCraft events, such that the state passed to +the Inara plugin hadn't been updated.

    +

    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.

    +

    Closes #1395.

    +
    • +
  • +

    EDDN: Implement new approachsettlement/1 +schema.

    +
    • +
  • +

    EDDN: Implement new fssallbodiesfound/1 +schema.

    +
    • +
  • +

    EDDN: We now compress all outgoing messages. This might help get some +particularly large navroute messages go through.

    +

    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.

    +

    NB: The EDDN Gateway was updated to allow messages up to 1 MiB in size +anyway. The old limit was 100 KiB.

    +

    Closes #1390.

    +
    • +
  • +

    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.

    +

    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.

    +

    There should be no functional changes for users. But if you see any of +the following in this application's log files PLEASE OPEN +AN ISSUE ON GITHUB +with all the requested information, so that we can correct the relevant +code:

    +
      +
    • No system name in entry, and system_name was not set either! entry: ...
      • +
    • BodyName was present but not a string! ...
      • +
    • post-processing entry contains entry ...
      • +
    • this.body_id was not set properly: ...
      • +
    • system is falsey, can't add StarSystem
      • +
    • this.coordinates is falsey, can't add StarPos
      • +
    • this.systemaddress is falsey, can't add SystemAddress
      • +
    • this.status_body_name was not set properly: ...
      • +
    +

    You might also see any of the following in the application status text +(bottom of the window):

    +
      +
    • passed-in system_name is empty, can't add System
      • +
    • CodexEntry had empty string, PLEASE ALERT THE EDMC DEVELOPERS
      • +
    • system is falsey, can't add StarSystem
      • +
    • this.coordinates is falsey, can't add StarPos
      • +
    • this.systemaddress is falsey, can't add SystemAddress

+Translations

    +
  • +

    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.

    +
    • +
  • +

    As noted above we forgot to upload to +OneSky +after adding the Odyssey new ranks/categories. This has now been done, +and some new phrases await translation.

Release 5.2.4

This is a very minor update that simply imports the latest versions of data files so that some niche functionality works properly.
