    + +

    + + 2009-04-26 Version 2.04 is a small bugfix and feature enhancement release of + the client.

    + +

    + + 2009-01-15 First release in the new year, version 2.03 comes with a + many changes in the GUI. For example the auto pickup toggle has been + moved into a checkbox to the top of the main window. + The configuration is now saved automatically on exit. + Shimmering during smooth scroll has been reduced a lot and some displaying + bugs have been fixed in the inventory. More workarounds which make the + client more stable on broken OSes were also implemented. + +

    + +

    + + 2008-12-26 The Chrismas release of version 2.02: Hidden mapspaces are + marked visually by a question mark and are made as bright as the darkest + mapspaces. A crash has been fixed when the user clicks on the map during + login. New tips of the day have been introduced. And more minor stability and + visual fixes. + +

    + +

    + +

    + + 2008-12-05 Version 2.0: Last minor fixes round up the version 2.0 of our + client: The Log window can't be closed anymore by Alt+x, Also wont Alt+x or + other Message window operations crash the client anymore directly after startup. + Also the invisible/cached parts of the map are darkened even more, so that + invisibile parts can be distinguished from dark parts better. + +

    + + +

    + + 2008-11-09 Version 0.9978: Some minor fixes: + The healthbar is now correctly smoothly moved. Own text in NPC dialogues are + emphasized now. A crash bug in the macro dialogue has been fixed. The tooltips + in the Mesage Window tabs are updated correctly now. And Alt+x won't let + Message Window tabs disappear for ever anymore. + +

    + +

    + + 2008-09-29 Version 0.9977: A race condition has been fixed that could lead + to client freezes or crashes on login, especially on slower systems. The + smooth movement is no longer choppy. The default font for messages is now a + (hopefully nicer looking) proportional font. Text display has been tweaked. + The client no longer makes unnecessary screen refreshes and uses less CPU + time. + +

    + +

    + + 2008-09-05 Next version of the client: 0.9976 comes with many fixes for Mac OS X, + like some fixed keyboard issues on OS X. Improved the protocol with compression + and fragmentation, leading to more efficent bandwidth usage. Implemented crash + diagnostics, which are sent to the server, for easier debugging. Important fix + with the default resolution, which was too small. Added theming support, with some + basic themes. And some other minor fixes all over the place. + +

    + +

    + +

    + + 2008-05-23 Next release: 0.9972. The map cache has been extended a bit to store more + map changes (fixes some minor bugs). Fixed some crashbugs when the client is + logged out and some UI elements were used. The server XML format is now also + supportet in item tooltips. The keyrepeats are ignored now in some conditions. + And crashes when the map cache is corrupted are now prevented. Also the client + configuration is now stored in pretty printed JSON. + +

    + +

    + +

    + 2008-03-24 Release of version 0.9967 of the Client: A memory leak was fixed + where the messages in the message window were kept for ever and the client + consumed more and more memory. The highlighting of the chattabs is now red and + not blue. The history handling of the chat input will now not erase the + typed input if the down cursor key is pressed. A keyboard modifier display has + also been implemented, (for example to signal whether numlock is on, + which caused problems under windows).
