Unreleased Release

"Rise from the Grave..."

I haven't played in a while, but multiple people politely mailed to ask for this over the past few months, so here it is.

(Download zip below for Windows)

• Qt libraries updated to 5.15.
• Fixed map links to use HTTPS.
• Updated APIs to retrieve pilot info/photos correctly.
• Misc minor fixes.

The next version (1.0?) will be a full 64-bit release. I built this one on the old 32-bit Win7 VM that I had used for previous versions. As usual, there's been no testing of the Windows build as I only run Linux.

Pseudoneurotic Decapitation

• Fixed following pilots, after more log breakage from CCP. As long as you've jumped systems in the last day or so, the pilot should show up. I'll be looking into ESI soon in order to implement a better, permanent, fix.

• Updated Qt5Core.dll in Windows build.

• Now properly saves the last/current map on exit.

• Fixed bug where pilot may be added to pilots list twice when using some desktop managers.

• Added Settings|Options|Advanced|Audio toggle to disable music on About/Info dialog.

YALF

• Found another function that assumed the last 20 characters of file name was the only non-channel-name portion. Updated it to call the new common utility routine that regex's the name out instead.

Third Time's Chard'r

• Found yet another place in the code that didn't work with the new/bugged log-name format. Consolidated all the name handling in one place so as to not go through three times if they ever change the format again.

• Incidentally found a logic bug that may have prevented it from detecting all log changes for people playing multiple accounts at the same time, especially if they had been logged in for a long duration.

Second Time's the Charred

• Fix for CCP's broken log names. CCP seems to now sometimes throw the number of users into the channel name... sometimes not.

Relatively Sane Clown Posse

• Fix: Small adjustment to handle CCP's new log naming format.

Fool Mental Cookie Crisp

Small bugfix update while I get back into the swing of things. Life's finally calmed down enough that I can look at implementing some more features soon.

• Fixed playing a sound at double volume (actually playing it twice overlapping) when you have two chars in local seeing the same alert.

• Fixed misparsing of questions that included 'clear' in them, such as "Is KBP clr?". BTW, KBP is never clear. Ever.

• Fixed "DEBUGGING" entries accidentally inserted in channel list.

• Updated Windows build to use the newer Qt 5.10.1 libraries.

[Windows download is imp-0.9.7.2.zip, above.]

v0.9.7 - Black Exoplanet

• Changed log watching logic to further work around the post-Vista behavior where NTFS does not update file modification times until the handle is closed. Hopefully this fixes the problems where updates would not be seen if additional characters were logged on/off or if IMP were left open for extended periods.

• Updated Qt libraries in Windows build to v5.9.2.

SFML OpenAL FML

• This version implements a new audio path via SFML, which on most systems will end up using OpenAL. A Qt audio path is still available and can be selected via the Advanced tab of the Options|Settings menu.

v0.9.6 - Russian Cookie Monster

• Fixes following for users of the German-language client.

• Fix KOS check bug for some corps where there are partial matches on the corp name.

• Added the ability to set custom system graphics per theme. This requires specially formatted SVGs with specific shape group names. Documentation, plus some examples of how to create them will be added in a release in the near future. Opacity, scaling, and position attributes are also customizable.
