Release Thread - 0.99p - Updated version 2010-04-03
Posted: 03 Apr 2010, 18:34
So I've made some changes to the 0.99p release without breaking compatibility, so the version number doesn't need to change. (changing the version causes people to no longer be able to play each other on the server when they have different versions).
1.) The progam no longer starts maximized by default. You can change this by adding the parameter '-max' to the shortcut (without the ' )
2.) The Chat Line is hide able via the View menu.
3.) Improved the cards data file to include Ae cards again, the fix for the server having duplicates in the booster will be in the next server release. Also fixed some issues with the updater, it should be working properly now.
4.) You can now set the starting player for Solitaire Mode and also allow for automatic rotation of beginning player for each Game (via Reset)
5.) Dice graphics changed to be more basic. It's a rounded square. Also added a popup menu to the dice for right clicks.
6.) There was a bug with printing P/T on the highlight card. It didn't use the settings properly, this is now fixed.
7.) I have removed the yellow-splash-bar-loader-thingy. It may be the cause of the crashes, so let me know if they still exists without this loader thingy. You will not see what's going on at the moment, but if this fixed the crash issue, I will create an old-school loader window.
8.) I did not create a life points control for each player, because this would only apply to solitaire mode. I did create new functionality to the player panels to support changing life totals for other players in solitaire mode. By clicking the life icon, you can de/increase the life total by 1, by holding the Ctrl key by 3, by holding the Shift key by 5 and by holding both Ctrl and Shift, you are asked to enter a new value for the life total. Decrease by left mouse click, increase by right mouse click.
