MapTool ChangeLog (by build version)

MapTool ChangeLog (for the source code)

This page will attempt to document the on-going changes to the MapTool source code by those individuals who have Commit authority to the Subversion repository on Sourceforge.net.

Ideally I'd like to see an actual ChangeLog for each build of MapTool as well as a "in my queue right now" list, but the latter is unlikely to be kept up to date (even by me!) so I'll settle for just a ChangeLog. :)

Where to find more information

For information about how to download (a.k.a. checkout) the source code, please see the thread on our forum that discusses that topic: How to get RPTools source via Eclipse and subversion. Another topic worth reviewing is a stream of consciousness thread by Azhrei regarding notes on how to build the application using Eclipse: MapTool build notes for Eclipse.

1.3b68

• Change Wiki: resetProperty() so that the property is actually removed from the token

1.3b67

• Patch for preventing token names from being empty (Rumble)
• Token stacks allow access to incorrect token (reported by aliasmask; fixed by Rumble)

• Chat notifiers -- messages that indicate someone else is typing (Rumble; http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14355&start=45#p152754)
• Four different opacity levels on Preferences dialog (halo, aura, light, fog). This effectively allows removal of soft fog by specifying a value of 255 for "fog".

• Updated Spanish translation (patoace)

1.3b66

• Deal with 64-bit vs. 32-bit JVMs

• Add getPropertyNamesRaw new macro script function which returns mixed case variable names
• Cleaned up all parameter checking in all of the macro token property functions (new translations needed).
• Assets in RPToks are no longer being written out as MIME64 encoded text; instead they are binary images. Need lots of testing on this one for backward-compatibility
• Don't merge old assets from PackedFile into new PackedFile. This should fix RPTOKs growing larger each time they're saved.
• Remove the Macro tab and all references to macros on the token editor dialog
• Disable the rest of the UI while the Test Connection is doing its thing
• Change ImagePanel vertical scrollbar so that the BlockIncrement moves by an entire page height/width, minus one row; UnitIncrement is exactly one row

• Added tooltips to every label on all four tabs of the Preferences dialog
• fixed the problem with the fog of war paint getting reset back to black when a server is started (cheesethulu)
