Revision history for Perl extension Deliantra::Client

TODO: add help to completer, add close tab to completer, do stuff to complete
TODO: find out how to create namespaces on cpan and create Deliantra::Client :/

        - use keysym not unicode symbol, maybe that helps with some of those keyboard
          issues on OS X.
        - fix tab tooltip listing key shortcut off by one.
        - disable texture compression with apple software renderer. if you want to get
          something that works, apple is for you. not.

0.9975 Wed Aug 27 22:16:27 CEST 2008
        - use biggest video mode <= 1024x768 by default now (previous releases had a bug
          that caused them to select the smallest vdieo mode available).
        - ported to the rather horridly broken apple os x platform,
          using macports (the only non-broken part of the whole thing).
        - clarify/fix weight/value autopickup option with a tooltip and a server change.

0.9974 Fri Aug  1 15:45:59 CEST 2008
        - implement smooth scrolling for the player.
        - try a different workaround to maybe register Deliantra::Client.
        - support switching off of alpha framebuffers, to work around
          possible fallback-to-software-renderer problems.
        - allow video modes <800x600 to be selectable.
        - decode player from map1ax.
        - made libsdl1.2.10+ a requirement.
        - improve the slider widget.
        - use AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
        - upgrade to BDB 1.7.
        - properly clear mapcells in all cases, also try a heuristic to avoid
          player ghost images.

0.9973 Mon Jul  7 09:27:59 CEST 2008
        - added a dummy "package Deliantra::Client" to bin/deliantra, as
          cpan stupidly cannot install distributions by name.
        - convert to new non-blocking API.
        - support IPv6 server connections.
        - the chat tabs now have tooltips again.

0.9972 Thu May 22 22:45:01 CEST 2008
        - save all map changes in map cache, not just the current map (this fixes
          the problem of map border "black out" in the minimap).
        - use an even more compact format for minimap data.
        - use an uncompressed cache for minimap data, increases memory requirements
          (~1mb) but saves compression.
        - close container, clear inventory, floorbox etc. to avoid a crash when
          clicking on them after logging out.
        - support xml formatting in ex replies (item tooltips, requires server
          2.54+).
        - try to ignore repeated keypress-events for movement, as
          these are usually keyrepeats.
        - added default (0) for the shift_fire_stop setting
        - write client.cf in pretty-printed-json.
        - avoid crashes if map cache is corrupted.

0.9971 Mon May  5 21:37:33 CEST 2008
        - reverse order of items in floorbox.
        - sort right side of inventory by floor order.
        - make messages window always visible.
        - fix stat tooltips by not lowercasing keywords in pod2wiki.
        - fix longstanding bug where the stats tab would be removed during chargen.
        - fix menu alignment.
        - change podwiki format to be slightly more generic.
        - ignore pseudo-items in floorbox, only show in inventory.

0.9970 Sun Mar 30 13:30:47 CEST 2008
        - fix a bug in tile id allocation, the effect of this bug
          was effectively disabling the tile cache, upgrade is highly
          recommended.
        - fix npc dialog.
        - upgrade the database schema (i.e. nuke it...).
        - only open the database before forking the bg server.
        - PRECOMPILED BINARY: use packaged libdb4.6 instead of libdb4.4.
        - use newer BDB module (might fix the filename encoding issue under win32).
        - use a real bdb sequence for the faceid, for better performance.

0.9968 Tue Mar 25 20:28:16 CET 2008
        - reduce documentation memory usage.
        - fix the stat gauge tooltips that have gone missing since 0.9966.

0.9967 Mon Mar 24 01:24:07 CET 2008
        - implement keyboard modifier display (mostly because of the numlock
          problems under windows).
        - work around a bug on windows where the layout font is being ignored.

0.9966 Sat Mar 22 14:26:05 CET 2008
        - when the message window is hidden and the input is activated, it will
          become visible again.
        - the max number of paragraphs in the chattabs were not limited,
          leading to a naughty memory leak
        - the highlighting of the chattabs were deep blue where they should have been
          deep red :-)
        - fixed a small inconvenience in the history handling of chat tab entries
          (hitting cursor-up or cursor-down won't erase what you typed by accident
          anymore).

0.9965 Sat Jan 19 05:51:39 CET 2008
        - work around a database race condition by using single-threaded
          database access.

0.9964 Fri Jan 18 06:30:13 CET 2008
        - fixed a bug where the message fontsize wasn't set correctly
        - do not call glTexSubimage2D on 0x0 bitmaps, as this
          crashes newer nvidia drivers.
        - fix chatbox label padding.
        - further rename database directory.
        - further "branding" of cfplus => deliantra.

0.9963 Sun Jan  6 18:27:02 CET 2008
        - rework of the messsage window to support 'undocked' windows.
        - ignore keyboard modifiers we are never interested in.
        - improve interactivity by using a prepare, not an idle watcher,
          for screen refreshes.
        - limit the time spent in database handling, so we refresh the screen
          even during ongoing heavy texture loading.
        - load tile map at startup, not at connect time.
        - tweak database accesses.
        - widget protocol version 2, supports ui templates.
        - increase horizontal padding for buttons a bit.
        - preallocate texture name when switching video modes and the
          texture can only be loaded in the background to avoid
          something else taking over.
        - increase padding for all text entries.
        - work around a bugfix in pango that no longer is necessary
          (but causes a bug with new pango versions, argh.)
        - use supposedly faster readonly pango functions wherever possible.
        - Canvas widget properly restores line and point widths.
        - fix padding calculation.
        - change semantics for align/valign in labels to behave like other
          alignment values.

        - fixed unneccessary repetition when firing in a direction
          when 'only shift-up stops fire' is off.
        - do not render some glyphs twice. doh.
        - fix two problems that would cause endless
          refreshes even when idle (up to 60Hz).
        - optimise refresh strategy to not refresh more often than 60hz,
          even if it means to delay updates up to 1/60th of a second.
        - updated the dejavu fonts to version 2.22.
        - switch from Crossfire to Deliantra module.
        - switch from ~/.crossfire to ~/.deliantra,
          move database from cf to deliantra at startup.
        - fix some opengl races that could freeze deliantra during shutdowns.
        - moved client-specific modules into a private subdirectory.
        - moved client-specific resources into a private subdirectory.

0.9961 Tue Dec 25 20:22:51 CET 2007
        - fix texture-reload problems when changing resolutions
          by forcing the reuse of the same texture name.
        - save and restore glyph cache textures when changing resolutions.
