1 Revision history for Perl extension Deliantra::Client
2
3 TODO: add help to completer, add close tab to completer, do stuff to complete
4 TODO: warn about sofwtare renderers
5 TODO: [num] indicator malfunctioning
6 TODO: cfplus_ext => 2 is sometimes not beign negotiated! (hack in place, need better protocol)
7
8 TODO: BDB releasen.
9 - verify databases if we are the first process to register, to
10 detect corruption as is common on windows (but not limited to
11 windows, unfortunately).
12 - rely on AnyEvent to work around totally broken windows vista
13 tcp/ip subsystem once more (where getpeername returns fantasy
14 ports).
15 - use newer BDB version that works around windows vista tcp/ip
16 breakage.
17 - initialise the default resolver during startup, as windows vista
18 forces us back to the desktop when doing this later(!).
19
20 2.02 Wed Dec 24 06:02:53 CET 2008
21 - mark hidden mapspaces visually with a question mark.
22 - make hidden spaces as light as the darkest normal spaces.
23 - don't lie about the window size anymore in fear of crashing
24 the server (as we are dealing with deliantra servers only these days).
25 - correctly draw the speech bubbles and other overlays even when the
26 topmost face isn't visible.
27 - fix swirly tile draw offset.
28 - fix a crash when the user clicks on the map during log-in.
29 - incorporate tips of the day by botz (former madness).
30 - handle failure to load a music face more gracefully (still
31 log the error, but do not crash, instead, ignore the failure).
32 - try to log, instead of crash, on the "cannot call update method"
33 problem.
34
35 2.01 - (Mon Dec 15 00:41:33 CET 2008)
36 - rewrote the client tutorial which can be found via the 'Help!' button.
37 - fixed the mostly random switching of message window tabs when
38 new tabs were added.
39 - small typo fix in tooltip on the Skills page in the playerbook.
40 - avoid accessing potentially undefined memory when drawing the map.
41 - fixed speech bubbles which were drawn below some objects sometimes.
42
43 2.0 Fri Dec 5 15:42:51 CET 2008
44 - the Log window can't be close anymore by alt+x
45 - pressing return or alt+x directly after start won't crash the client
46 anymore.
47 - the Log window is displayed correctly now after start.
48 - darken the invisible/cached parts of the map further.
49
50 0.9978 Sun Nov 9 14:35:41 CET 2008
51 - correctly smooth-move the healthbar as well.
52 - own text is emphasized in the NPC dialogues now.
53 - fixed a crash bug in the macro dialogue.
54 - fixed updating of tooltips of the tabs in the message window.
55 - closing tabs with Alt-x won't let them disappear for every anymore.
56
57 0.9977 Tue Sep 30 09:27:29 CEST 2008
58 - require newer BDB version to avoid possible database corruption or crashes
59 on login.
60 - fixed the often choppy smooth movement.
61 - switch to proportional font in log view.
62 - improve the paragraph indent hack to align characters better.
63 - tweak server message output.
64 - optimise visibility handing in multiplexers (only put the current tab
65 into visible state).
66 - reduce the number of unneecssary refreshes.
67 - allow empty multiplexers.
68 - fixed clearing issue in the inventory upon logout.
69 - use the same workarounds for pango for gnu/linux binaries as we use for osx,
70 but additionally patch the pango library because stupid braindead idiotic
71 debian maintainers of course apply custom patches that completely break it.
72
73 0.9976 Fri Sep 5 17:28:30 CEST 2008
74 - use keysym not unicode symbol, maybe that helps with some of those keyboard
75 issues on OS X.
76 - treat meta like alt for built-ins, for OS X.
77 - fix tab tooltip listing key shortcut off by one.
78 - disable texture compression with apple software renderer. if you want to get
79 something that works, apple is for you. not.
80 - fix text encoding for item description tooltips.
81 - enlarge window borders considerably.
82 - support lzf-compressed packets.
83 - support fragmented packets.
84 - send crash and opengl vendor information to server for better debugging.
85 - fix crash when displaying the tutorial with the precompiled os x
86 binary: libjpeg collided with libJPEG - long live case-insensitivity :/
87 - cater for the incompatible changes in berkeley db 4.7.
88 - enable highest-resolution video mode again.
89 - add some preliminary theme support and two demo themes, "plain" and "blue".
90 - avoid a crash when the minimap is reduced to zero size.
91 - work around a bug in perl 5.8 perls (Bareword "Socket::AF_UNIX"...).
92
93 0.9975 Wed Aug 27 22:16:27 CEST 2008
94 - use biggest video mode <= 1024x768 by default now (previous releases had a bug
95 that caused them to select the smallest vdieo mode available).
96 - ported to the rather horridly broken apple os x platform,
97 using macports (the only non-broken part of the whole thing).
98 - clarify/fix weight/value autopickup option with a tooltip and a server change.
99
100 0.9974 Fri Aug 1 15:45:59 CEST 2008
101 - implement smooth scrolling for the player.
102 - try a different workaround to maybe register Deliantra::Client.
103 - support switching off of alpha framebuffers, to work around
104 possible fallback-to-software-renderer problems.
105 - allow video modes <800x600 to be selectable.
106 - decode player from map1ax.
107 - made libsdl1.2.10+ a requirement.
108 - improve the slider widget.
109 - use AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
110 - upgrade to BDB 1.7.
111 - properly clear mapcells in all cases, also try a heuristic to avoid
112 player ghost images.
113
114 0.9973 Mon Jul 7 09:27:59 CEST 2008
115 - added a dummy "package Deliantra::Client" to bin/deliantra, as
116 cpan stupidly cannot install distributions by name.
117 - convert to new non-blocking API.
118 - support IPv6 server connections.
119 - the chat tabs now have tooltips again.
120
121 0.9972 Thu May 22 22:45:01 CEST 2008
122 - save all map changes in map cache, not just the current map (this fixes
123 the problem of map border "black out" in the minimap).
124 - use an even more compact format for minimap data.
125 - use an uncompressed cache for minimap data, increases memory requirements
126 (~1mb) but saves compression.
127 - close container, clear inventory, floorbox etc. to avoid a crash when
128 clicking on them after logging out.
129 - support xml formatting in ex replies (item tooltips, requires server
130 2.54+).
131 - try to ignore repeated keypress-events for movement, as
132 these are usually keyrepeats.
133 - added default (0) for the shift_fire_stop setting
134 - write client.cf in pretty-printed-json.
135 - avoid crashes if map cache is corrupted.
136
137 0.9971 Mon May 5 21:37:33 CEST 2008
138 - reverse order of items in floorbox.
139 - sort right side of inventory by floor order.
140 - make messages window always visible.
141 - fix stat tooltips by not lowercasing keywords in pod2wiki.
142 - fix longstanding bug where the stats tab would be removed during chargen.
143 - fix menu alignment.
144 - change podwiki format to be slightly more generic.
145 - ignore pseudo-items in floorbox, only show in inventory.
146
147 0.9970 Sun Mar 30 13:30:47 CEST 2008
148 - fix a bug in tile id allocation, the effect of this bug
149 was effectively disabling the tile cache, upgrade is highly
150 recommended.
151 - fix npc dialog.
152 - upgrade the database schema (i.e. nuke it...).
153 - only open the database before forking the bg server.
154 - PRECOMPILED BINARY: use packaged libdb4.6 instead of libdb4.4.
155 - use newer BDB module (might fix the filename encoding issue under win32).
156 - use a real bdb sequence for the faceid, for better performance.
157
158 0.9968 Tue Mar 25 20:28:16 CET 2008
159 - reduce documentation memory usage.
160 - fix the stat gauge tooltips that have gone missing since 0.9966.
161
162 0.9967 Mon Mar 24 01:24:07 CET 2008
163 - implement keyboard modifier display (mostly because of the numlock
164 problems under windows).
165 - work around a bug on windows where the layout font is being ignored.
166
167 0.9966 Sat Mar 22 14:26:05 CET 2008
168 - when the message window is hidden and the input is activated, it will
169 become visible again.
170 - the max number of paragraphs in the chattabs were not limited,
171 leading to a naughty memory leak
172 - the highlighting of the chattabs were deep blue where they should have been
173 deep red :-)
174 - fixed a small inconvenience in the history handling of chat tab entries
175 (hitting cursor-up or cursor-down won't erase what you typed by accident
176 anymore).
177
178 0.9965 Sat Jan 19 05:51:39 CET 2008
179 - work around a database race condition by using single-threaded
180 database access.
181
182 0.9964 Fri Jan 18 06:30:13 CET 2008
183 - fixed a bug where the message fontsize wasn't set correctly

188 - further "branding" of cfplus => deliantra.
189
190 0.9963 Sun Jan 6 18:27:02 CET 2008
191 - rework of the messsage window to support 'undocked' windows.
192 - ignore keyboard modifiers we are never interested in.
193 - improve interactivity by using a prepare, not an idle watcher,
194 for screen refreshes.
195 - limit the time spent in database handling, so we refresh the screen
196 even during ongoing heavy texture loading.
197 - load tile map at startup, not at connect time.
198 - tweak database accesses.
199 - widget protocol version 2, supports ui templates.
200 - increase horizontal padding for buttons a bit.
201 - preallocate texture name when switching video modes and the
202 texture can only be loaded in the background to avoid
203 something else taking over.
204 - increase padding for all text entries.
205 - work around a bugfix in pango that no longer is necessary
206 (but causes a bug with new pango versions, argh.)
207 - use supposedly faster readonly pango functions wherever possible.
208 - Canvas widget properly restores line and point widths.
209 - fix padding calculation.
210 - change semantics for align/valign in labels to behave like other
211 alignment values.

218 - do not render some glyphs twice. doh.
219 - fix two problems that would cause endless
220 refreshes even when idle (up to 60Hz).

222 even if it means to delay updates up to 1/60th of a second.
223 - updated the dejavu fonts to version 2.22.
224 - switch from Crossfire to Deliantra module.
225 - switch from ~/.crossfire to ~/.deliantra,
