PRE-RELEASE

GUI

• GUI now supports new upgrade functionality, making upgrades much faster, more reliable, and with fewer side-effects.
• GUI is now significantly faster, especially when loading.
• Autodetected pre-CKAN mods cannot be selected for uninstall or upgrade.
• Courageous users can no longer switch their KSP install to nothing

Command Line

• CmdLine waits for 'enter' after Y/N prompts, and now also works under Cygwin.
• Fixed instances of lines being double-spaced under Windows.

NetKAN

• NetKAN escapes URLs before writing download links.
• NetKAN no longer tries to write out empty homepages in resources.
• NetKAN can be passed an auth token for github API calls.

Notes

Unstable pre-release

Command Line

• ckan upgrade no longer tries to remove modules which depend upon the upgrading module.
• Upgrades can take a version number. Eg: ckan upgrade MyMod=1.25. This also allows downgrading or re-installing of existing mods.
• ckan list provides visual indications as to each module's status.

GUI

• Fixes to CKAN settings
• More flexibility in setting KSP start options
• Fixed a bug where the mod list columns wouldn't get resized properly on repo update
• Users are prompted to install suggested modules
• Errors are more consistently shown to users
• Download speeds are more accurately reported
• User can no longer inappropriately move to other tabs during installs
• Dialog windows disappear less frequently under Linux and OSX
• GameData is re-scanned when the user updates their mod-list

NetKAN

• NetKAN supports --cachefile= allowing the user to use an already downloaded file for inflation.
• Oops, we broke netkan.exe. Use v1.1.1 for now.

Internal

• CKAN cache is more compatible with external tools
• We more consistently ensure files are downloaded before starting installs.
• Preparation for adding additional free licenses to CKAN metadata.
• Preparation for adding support relationships to CKAN metadata.
• Preparation for targeted installs to GameData

First Official Unstable Release

All the features of v1.0.0 - Galaxy Rise, but with the following experimental features enabled:

• ckan.exe gui (or with no arguments) start starts the experimental GUI.
• ckan.exe upgrade ... upgrades one or more mods.

Galaxy Rise

First Official Stable Release

Changes since 1.0.0-RC1:

• Better error messages on file conflict.
• ckan available provides more information.

Penumbra

Exactly the same as v1.0.0-RC1, but with experimental features enabled, including the GUI.

First Light

This is a stable release candidate for v1.0.0. Stable releases have experimental features disabled and focus on bugfixes and stability. For v1.0.0, the GUI, and the upgrade command are considered experimental, and are not accessible.

Experimental features will continue to be available in our unstable branch, v1.1.x, that will be released simultaneously with the stable client.

Changes since v0.28:

• Less confusion about file paths if the KSP directory is moved.
• Missing certificates on Linux are better reported.
• Removing modules is less spammy.
• Less likely to suggest conflicting modules be installed.
• Less likely to think that a mods DLLs are installed after it's been removed.
• Fewer spelling mistakes in help text.
• The client will no longer abort an action if the user takes too long to respond to a prompt.
• Less complaints about suggested mods that aren't on the CKAN yet.
• Fixed a bug where we'd download modules, only to discover at install they actually conflict.
• Users can no longer attempt to remove non-existant mods.

Stromatolite

• Command-line users now get better feedback on download progress.
• Download bandwidth reports show changes more smoothly.
• Client will no longer try to process metadata from the future.
• Client will no longer be confused if you add an install by relative path on the command-line.
• Client now runs on any CPU architecture
• Client will no longer try to use broken/failed downloads from the cache.
• Installed .dll files are always located, regardless of their case.
• Version displays whether we're on a release (stable) or development (unstable) branch.

Abiogenesis

• Fixed a bug where files could not be installed to Ships
• The CKAN client will no longer needlessly download files multiple times in some circumstances.

Note: Previously cached files will no longer be read by this release (but it's harmless to have them around).
