EDMarketConnector/ChangeLog.md

This is the master changelog for Elite Dangerous Market Connector. Entries are in reverse chronological order (latest first).

Pre-Release 3.99.2.0

Consider this as 'beta2' for the following full '4.0.0.0' release.

• Added Swedish to the translated languages. Thanks to Gurra.
• Will throw an exception, rather than a Segmentation Fault, if run on Linux without DISPLAY properly set.
• Corrects setting of WinSparkle (updates checking) options to be under the new 'EDCD' Registry key.

Pre-Release 3.99.1.0

Consider this as 'beta1' for the following full '4.0.0.0' release.

• Actually include the new translations in the install: Serbian (Latin, Bosnia and Herzegovina) (175/175), Slovenian (Slovenia) (144/175).

• Fix a bug where if you copied a Journal file to the live location, resulting in a "Journal.YYMMDDHHMMss.XX - Copy.log" file, the application would pick it up as 'new' and potentially re-send duplicate data to all of EDDN, EDSM and Inara.

  Now the only files the application will take note of must:

  1. Start with Journal. or JournalBeta..
  2. Have the 12-digit date/timestamp, followed by a .
  3. Have the 2 digit serial number, followed by a .
  4. Nothing else before the trailing log.

• Fix the 'Release Note' URL in the 'About' popup to use the correct format.

• Fix the location of Registry keys for the update checker, WinSparkle, to be under EDMarketConnector instead of EDMarketConnector.py.

Pre-Release 3.99.0.0

Consider this as 'beta0' for the following full '4.0.0.0' release.

• This release is based on Python 3.7, not 2.7, so a user might find some of their plugins stop working. If you have any that do not have the proper support you'll see a popup about this, at most once every 24 hours, when you start the program. As directed on that popup you can check the status of your plugins on 'File' > 'Settings' > 'Plugins' in the new 'Plugins Without Python 3.x Support:' section.

  If the popup gets annoying then follow the directions to Disable a plugin.

  For any plugins without Python 3.x support you should first ensure you're using the latest version of that plugin. If that hasn't been updated then you might want to contact the plugin developer to see if they'll update the plugin. For some plugins check this list.

• Translations updated:

  • New languages: Serbian (Latin, Bosnia and Herzegovina) (175/175), Slovenian (Slovenia) (144/175).

  • New phrases were added and the only 100% translated languages are now: French, German, Ukrainian, Spanish, Russian, Czech, Japanese, Serbian (Latin), Portugese (Portugal), Serbian (Latin, Bosnia and Herzegovina).

    Please do contribute on the OneSkyApp project if you are able to.

• Fixes a bug where certain combinations of 'Output' and 'EDDN' options would lead to both reverting to their defaults.

• EDDB plugin now uses a system's SystemAddress to construct the URL to view the system on eddb.io. This removes the need for the systems.p file. That file will be removed in a future version, plugin authors should not be relying on its presence.

• EDDB plugin now uses a station's MarketID to construct a URL to view the station on eddb.io. This removes the need for stations.p. That file will be removed in a future version, plugin authors should not be relying on its presence.

  NB: It's now using the system's "Population" data from Journal messages to determine if the system has stations or not. This allows for the × as station name to be clickable to open the eddb.io page for system when you're not docked. It's known that some systems with stations have a Population of "0" and thus won't allow this functionality. This is Frontier's issue, not EDMC's. If you logged out in a populated system, run EDMC afresh, and use the 'Update' button you won't see the × until you login fully to the game.

• New 'Help' > 'About E:D Market Connector' menu item to show the currently running version. Includes a link to the release notes.

Release 3.46

This should be the final release of EDMC based on Python 2.7. The next release after this, assuming this one doesn't introduce new bugs, will be based on Python 3.7. Any plugins that users have installed will need to have been updated to work under Python 3.7 by the time that next version of EDMC is released. During EDMC startup, at most once per day, you might see a popup with the text:

One or more of your enabled plugins do not yet have support for Python 3.x. Please see the list on the 'Plugins' tab of 'File' > 'Settings'. You should check if there is an updated version available, else alert the developer that they will need to update the code when EDMC moves to Python 3.x

A small bug means that popup will never appear, but you can still check "File" > "Settings" > "Plugins" tab and see what plugins are listed in the section with the text "Plugins Without Python 3.x Support".

If any of your plugins are listed in that section then they will need updating, by you or the original developer, to work with Python 3.7. See Migrating To Python 3.7 for more information.

Changes in this version:

• The CAPI CLIENT_ID has been changed to one under Athanasius' account, so when users are asked to (re-)authenticate with Frontier they'll see "Elite Dangerous Market Connector (EDCD/Athanasius)" as the application asking for permission. There's been no change to the use of the data Frontier then gives access to.
• Updated translations (as of 2019-09-26 in general and 2019-11-04 for Polish).
• Linux: Should now appear on task bar whilst in dark mode theme.
• INARA: Send correct opponentName for Interdicted and Interdiction events.<.li>
• Send SAASignalsFound events to EDDN.
• Add Agronomic Treatment introduced for a community goal.
• Fix Detailed Surface Scanner rating.
• Fix for the "Inara 400 The reputation value exceeds the valid range" error.
• Minimum interval between checks for a new version of EDMC has been reduced from 47 hours to 8 hours.
• There is a new option, within the 'Configuration' tab, 'Disable Automatic Application Updates Check when in-game' which when active should prevent update checks from showing a popup whilst you're in-game. You can still use "Help" > "Check for updates" to trigger a manual check.
• Support added for the journal 'CarrierJump' event, triggered when you're docked on a Fleet Carrier as it performs a jump. This is now sent to: EDDN, Inara, EDSM. NB: EDSM doesn't yet support this event at the time of writing, so will still not track such Carrier Jumps in your Flight Log or current location. Generally when EDSM is updated to handle such new events it will back-process stored unrecognised events.

Release 3.45

There was no real 3.45, it was 'burned' testing that updates from 3.44 would work with the new update_feed URL.

Release 3.44

CHANGE OF MAINTAINER

Due to a lack of time to give the project the attention it needs Marginal has handed over ownership of the EDMarketConnector GitHub repository to the EDCD (Elite Dangerous Community Developers) organisation.

Initially Athanasius will now be responsible for maintaining the code, including addressing any Pull Requests and Issues, and making releases. Unfortunately he has no access to hardware running MacOS so can't easily generate builds for that platform or test them. So for the time being releases will be for Windows 10 only. MacOS users are advised to look into running from source (see the github README).

Going forwards the intention is to move to the python 3.7 code as soon as possible. To facilitate this there will be one more python 2.7 release in addition to this one, with the main aim of that being to add code to alert the user about any plugins they use that have apparently not been updated to run under python 3.7.

See the project GitHub repository's README.md for further information.
