==MapTool ChangeLog (for the source code)==
Note: This ChangeLog is for the 1.3 versions of MapTool. MapTool source code is now housed on GitHub. Newer versions of MapTool and their associated changelogs can be found on the [https://github.com/RPTools/maptool GitHub MapTool Page].


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. :)

Since the RPTools team has not been using the SourceForge bug tracker for 1.3 there hasn't been a comprehensive list of bugs/features being worked on (long story, but we '''will''' be using the Mantis bug tracker for 1.4).  I have provided a list of [[Things I'd Like to See Fixed]] for 1.3 but there is no guarantee expressed or implied that any of them will come to fruition!

Patchlevel 02:
 
* MRU campaign list wasn't being updated on OSX (flawed handling of special characters in campaign filenames fixed for all platforms).
* Players dropping a token with a duplicate name now refuses to add the token at all (message to chat window).
* Changed drag/drop handling again; split if-else into a series of IF statements.
* Modified the token movement validation code to make debugging easier.
* Added README to the '''.maptool/resource''' directory to warn users not to put their own files there!
* Add warning when running MapTool on Java 5.  http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18045&p=190751#p190751
* Revert call to String constructor that requires Java 6 (trying to keep MapTool as Java 5 compatible as possible).
* Fix NPE when dragging tokens on hex map.
* Added two Unix scripts to extract all possible logging objects directly from the source code (not directly useful for users).
* Fixed some screenshot issues.  However, no 100% fix is possible.  http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=17984#p191059
* Make '''StackOverflow''' messages look nicer and give the user a hint to solving it.  http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=18089&p=191313#p191313
* ConnectToServer reports error when the external address is used on the ''Direct'' tab.  http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12270&p=191318#p191318

* '''Edit>Clear Drawings''' was always working on the Token layer instead of the currently selected layer; message box changed to report the layer to the user.  http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18151&p=192216#p192216
* Loading a campaign now releases all drawables when only eraser drawables still remain after optimization.
* Exporting campaign properties didn't properly save table images, so loading them later caused FileNotFound errors.  Exported tables work fine.  Related to this report? http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=15452&p=165978#p165955
* Better handling of FileNotFound errors in general.
* Fix for asset directory disappearing or not being accessible.
* Add support for platform-specific image filetypes using conditional Java 6 code.  On pre-Java 6 the list of filename extensions remains hard-coded to '''gif''', '''jpg''', '''jpeg''', '''bmp''', and '''png''' but Java 6 systems may have additional formats ('''tiff''' and '''wbmp''' are common).
* Modified how performance data is reported by '''Tools>Collect Performance Data'''.
* Renamed ''README'' to ''README.wri'' so it opens in Wordpad on Windows (it's still just an ordinary text file).

* Allow development version to have any client version connect to it (primarily for developer use).
* Renamed PDF of documentation to match '''MapToolLauncher.exe'''.
* Some fog performance issues cleaned up; hopefully less lag.
* non-SnapToGrid tokens on hex map no longer snap to grid.
* Add a comment to the chat window (and via popup) when fog toolbar is used the first time with no server running (a warning about using IF features with no server).
* Add yes/no confirmation to clear fog when importing a map.
* Holding down Shift when mousing over a token prevents stat sheet from being displayed (see window's statusbar help message).
* Fixed how duplicate maps are named on import.
* jay - InitiativePanel was not being handled properly during campaign load, causing the panel to be cleared sometimes.
* jfrazierjr - updates to how fog is broken down into "global" vs. "token" and how they are merged for display purposes; small amount of other fog-related cleanup.
* CoveredInFish - found a Java bug with the drag/drop support; not going to be fixed in 1.3.  Drag the image to your desktop first, then from there to MapTool.
* patoace - Spanish translation updated.
 
====1.3 Final p01 (1.3.b84; released 2011-02-09)====
 
Patchlevel 01:
 
* Fixed NPE when dragging a token on a gridless map (and certain conditions are met).
* Updated documentation on Campaign Properties dialog '''Light''' tab.

====1.3 Final (1.3.b83; released 2011-02-08)====
 
* Removed binary '''Abeille''' forms from SVN (not a user-visible change).
* The ''MapExplorer'' was showing players too much information.
* Resizing a rotated object image will ignore the Shift key (which constrains the size); I recommend setting the size first, then rotating.
* Changing the token's image via the ''EditTokenDialog'' didn't update the token's native width/height.
* Fixed "you are not the GM" dialog popping up during {{func|copyToken}} in a trusted function.
* Fix bug in handling of non-existent images dropped onto a map (race condition).
* Adding logging in ''HTMLPane'' to try to locate why mouseClick events are lost in frames.
* Updated display of credits in the '''About MapTool''' dialog.
* Added lots of comments to English translation file to describe how to do translations.
* New Japanese translation added (based on SVN revision 5623 so very current).
* Cause light sources and auras to be sorted alphabetically on the right-click menu.
* Changed the algorithm that determines if a token may move into a particular location.  Only works for square grids.  New maps are constrained to a grid size of at least 9 pixels to support the new algorithm.
* As part of the previous item, code has been refactored to make it easier to write similar algorithms for gridless and hex maps.
* Added error trapping for corrupted campaign files to give users a better message.
* Added data from the '''Collect Performance Data''' window to '''log.txt''' (must be enabled in the XML files that are part of the ZIP download).
* Changed typing notification window status so it doesn't interfere with the mouse pointer shape when drawing VBL or templates.
* Fix a couple of exceptions: IllegalStateException and add comment re: ConcurrentModificationException - http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17651&p=187874#p187860
* Added Meta-Shift-L as '''Lock Player Movement''' shortcut.
* Fix token labels not appearing when moving a token in some cases.
 
====1.3b82-RC5 (released 2011-01-22)====
 
* Fixed NPE when working with gridless maps and using the middle mouse button http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17340&start=30#p184966
* Changed the token editor dialog so that the ''Size'' dropdown field has the correct first entry (either {{code|Native Size}} or {{code|Free Size}} depending on whether the token is on the Token layer or another layer)
* Fixed bug where the token editor dialog was only initializing the ''Size'' field once and populating it with the sizes for the grid type on that map so changing maps to a different grid type showed the wrong sizes!
* Added the ability to double-click on the ''Layout'' panel image (on the token editor dialog's '''Config''' tab) to reset the position and zoom
* Added a status bar message when the mouse enters the ''Layout'' panel
* Fixed {{func|currentToken}} when multiple tokens with identical names are selected and a macro is executed that has ApplyToSelected active http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17442&p=185550#p185550
* Fixed bug in table handling that could cause an existing table to be deleted if it were to be renamed and had a syntax error in the range field, then the user '''Cancel'''-ed the dialog
* Fixed text labels not appearing to players although they show up fine for the GM
* Fixed MapExplorer showing NPC information that it didn't previously
* Added support for the VisibleToOwnerOnly flag for drag/drop between CharacterTool and MapTool (implemented in MapTool only)
* Removed small dot drawn at (0,0) by the RadiusTemplate (this bug goes back to at least 1.3b34!)
* Token movement now occurs below fog so it's not visible to players unless the fog has been exposed
* Data from "export screenshot" saved correctly in campaign file (previous fix was incomplete)
* Fixed drag/drop of files from desktop onto map on Linux/OSX (now allows multiple files to be dropped at once)
* Fix NPE when selected token is deleted by macro then moved by user without unselecting and re-selecting
* Fix NPE when Impersonation panel tries to refresh without a map visible
* Fix NPE when loading campaign from 1.3b45 (bug in macro button handling)
* Change {{func|getInfo}} so the light source information is more detailed when {{code|campaign}} is the topic being queried (should add {{code|preferences}} somewhere as well)
* Fix fog-of-war not being updated when a token was copy/pasted from another map
* Entries in '''i18n.properties''' for slash commands now use the same key format as menu items (not a user-visible change)
* All forms converted from '''.jfrm''' to '''.xml''' (not a user-visible change, but please report any display problems with dialog boxes)
* Fix copy/paste of tokens so that relative offsets between tokens are preserved; works whether source or destination maps are gridless
* Added audio feedback: '''Copy''' and '''Cut''' beep when no (owned) tokens are selected and '''Paste''' beeps if no tokens have yet been copied or cut
* Change to allow token editor dialog's '''Properties''' tab to resize with the dialog window; this is a Java6-only change!  We need a Java5-compatible method of doing this before '''1.3 Final'''
* Halo colors are updated to the same list as button and font colors
* aku - ''huge'' number of strings have been localized and now appear in the '''i18n.properties''' translation file

MapTool ChangeLog (for the source code)

Note: This ChangeLog is for the 1.3 versions of MapTool. MapTool source code is now housed on GitHub. Newer versions of MapTool and their associated changelogs can be found on the GitHub MapTool Page.

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 an "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. :)

Since the RPTools team has not been using the SourceForge bug tracker for 1.3 there hasn't been a comprehensive list of bugs/features being worked on (long story, but we will be using the Mantis bug tracker for 1.4). I have provided a list of Things I'd Like to See Fixed for 1.3 but there is no guarantee expressed or implied that any of them will come to fruition!

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.

  • Better handling of FileNotFound errors in general.
  • Fix for asset directory disappearing or not being accessible.
  • Add support for platform-specific image filetypes using conditional Java 6 code. On pre-Java 6 the list of filename extensions remains hard-coded to gif, jpg, jpeg, bmp, and png but Java 6 systems may have additional formats (tiff and wbmp are common).
  • Modified how performance data is reported by Tools>Collect Performance Data.
  • Renamed README to README.wri so it opens in Wordpad on Windows (it's still just an ordinary text file).

  • Some URLs still don't open properly when dropped on the map -- JRE bug?
  • Allow development version to have any client version connect to it (primarily for developer use).
  • Renamed PDF of documentation to match MapToolLauncher.exe.
  • Some fog performance issues cleaned up; hopefully less lag.
  • non-SnapToGrid tokens on hex map no longer snap to grid.
  • Add a comment to the chat window (and via popup) when fog toolbar is used the first time with no server running (a warning about using IF features with no server).
  • Add yes/no confirmation to clear fog when importing a map.
  • Holding down Shift when mousing over a token prevents stat sheet from being displayed (see window's statusbar help message).
  • Fixed how duplicate maps are named on import.
  • jay - InitiativePanel was not being handled properly during campaign load, causing the panel to be cleared sometimes.
  • jfrazierjr - updates to how fog is broken down into "global" vs. "token" and how they are merged for display purposes; small amount of other fog-related cleanup.
  • CoveredInFish - found a Java bug with the drag/drop support; not going to be fixed in 1.3. Drag the image to your desktop first, then from there to MapTool.
  • patoace - Spanish translation updated.

1.3 Final p01 (1.3.b84; released 2011-02-09)

Patchlevel 01:

  • Fixed NPE when dragging a token on a gridless map (and certain conditions are met).
  • Updated documentation on Campaign Properties dialog Light tab.
  • Fixed NPE in setting token name regarding calling isTrusted().
  • Fix rendering of token names/labels on mouseover.
  • Removed dock badge from icon on OSX.
  • Fix bug with profiling window trying to open before main frame is open.
  • Fix NPE bug with moving token on gridless map.
  • Updated French translation (see credits)

1.3 Final (1.3.b83; released 2011-02-08)

  • Removed binary Abeille forms from SVN (not a user-visible change).
  • The MapExplorer was showing players too much information.
  • Resizing a rotated object image will ignore the Shift key (which constrains the size); I recommend setting the size first, then rotating.
  • Changing the token's image via the EditTokenDialog didn't update the token's native width/height.
  • Fixed "you are not the GM" dialog popping up during copyToken() in a trusted function.
  • Fix bug in handling of non-existent images dropped onto a map (race condition).
  • Adding logging in HTMLPane to try to locate why mouseClick events are lost in frames.
  • Updated display of credits in the About MapTool dialog.
  • Added lots of comments to English translation file to describe how to do translations.
  • New Japanese translation added (based on SVN revision 5623 so very current).
  • Cause light sources and auras to be sorted alphabetically on the right-click menu.
  • Changed the algorithm that determines if a token may move into a particular location. Only works for square grids. New maps are constrained to a grid size of at least 9 pixels to support the new algorithm.
  • As part of the previous item, code has been refactored to make it easier to write similar algorithms for gridless and hex maps.
  • Added error trapping for corrupted campaign files to give users a better message.
  • Added data from the Collect Performance Data window to log.txt (must be enabled in the XML files that are part of the ZIP download).
  • Changed typing notification window status so it doesn't interfere with the mouse pointer shape when drawing VBL or templates.
  • Fix a couple of exceptions: IllegalStateException and add comment re: ConcurrentModificationException - http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17651&p=187874#p187860
  • Added Meta-Shift-L as Lock Player Movement shortcut.
  • Fix token labels not appearing when moving a token in some cases.

1.3b82-RC5 (released 2011-01-22)

  • Fixed NPE when working with gridless maps and using the middle mouse button http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17340&start=30#p184966
  • Changed the token editor dialog so that the Size dropdown field has the correct first entry (either Native Size or Free Size depending on whether the token is on the Token layer or another layer)
  • Fixed bug where the token editor dialog was only initializing the Size field once and populating it with the sizes for the grid type on that map so changing maps to a different grid type showed the wrong sizes!
  • Added the ability to double-click on the Layout panel image (on the token editor dialog's Config tab) to reset the position and zoom
  • Added a status bar message when the mouse enters the Layout panel

  • Fixed bug in table handling that could cause an existing table to be deleted if it were to be renamed and had a syntax error in the range field, then the user Cancel-ed the dialog
  • Fixed text labels not appearing to players although they show up fine for the GM
  • Fixed MapExplorer showing NPC information that it didn't previously
  • Added support for the VisibleToOwnerOnly flag for drag/drop between CharacterTool and MapTool (implemented in MapTool only)

  • Token movement now occurs below fog so it's not visible to players unless the fog has been exposed
  • Data from "export screenshot" saved correctly in campaign file (previous fix was incomplete)

  • Fix NPE when Impersonation panel tries to refresh without a map visible
  • Fix NPE when loading campaign from 1.3b45 (bug in macro button handling)
  • Change getInfo() so the light source information is more detailed when campaign is the topic being queried (should add preferences somewhere as well)
  • Fix fog-of-war not being updated when a token was copy/pasted from another map
  • Entries in i18n.properties for slash commands now use the same key format as menu items (not a user-visible change)
  • All forms converted from .jfrm to .xml (not a user-visible change, but please report any display problems with dialog boxes)

  • Start cleanup of copyToken() code for hex grids by reverting meaning of useDistance so that old macros work again (sigh). We need regression tests written in MTscript!!
  • Fix token's (x,y) coords when snapToGrid is turned on (x,y coords were not being constrained to grid cell when snapToGrid was enabled). Hex grids appear to not snap correctly and never have; work-in-progress http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=16604&p=183236#p183223
  • Fix token.readResolve() so that pre-1.3b66 tokens (those without a CaseInsensitiveHashMap) can be read properly (warning: ugly backward compatibility code!)
  • Updated getInitiativeList() (and wiki) so that it checks for trusted context; includes small performance optimization
  • Fixed NPE in InitiativeListCellRenderer.java (line 174) so that the init panel doesn't try to render a token that doesn't exist
  • Menu option Lock Zoom didn't stop the -/= keys from zooming, only the mouse wheel http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=17192&p=183222#p183222

  • The "Test Connection" button has been replaced with the "Network Help" button
  • The long-standing bug where the border around a selected token is drawn outside the map window is fixed!

  • jfrazierjr - patch for ownerVisibleOnly setting on tokens

  • jfrazierjr - added Lock Token Movement to the server policy(internal to the code) so that newly connected clients will get the value of the server's menu item checkbox.
  • jfrazierjr - added new move function: getMoveCount(). This gets the last movement count in units using the movement metric defined by the server(see above for new server setting)
  • jfrazierjr - fixed path not showing to players when Use Individual Views is selected for tokens they do not own. http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16451
  • CoveredInFish - patch to add timeInMs and timeDate to the getInfo() MTscript function
  • CoveredInFish - patch for disabling macroLink tooltips in chat
  • Rumble - Selection Panel no longer repaints itself if it is not visible (performance improvement)
  • Rumble - building on the previous one, a new internal event was added that only fires on macro change which also speeds things up

  • URLs should include the colon as valid in the path component (already fixed? MessagePanel.java)
  • Fix b71 bug by finishing rewrite of zip file I/O to handle localizations correctly (last set of fixes I hope!)
  • Fixed potential race condition with an autosave occurring while loading a campaign
  • When a campaign is loaded, set the map to the one that was current when the campaign was saved (bug was in AppActions.loadCampaign(); does this work on clients now also?)
  • Add check for campaign file version number and alerts user when the version number is greater than the version of MT (ModelVersionManager.java for version number checks)
  • Found a few spots where Java I/O streams were not being closed immediately; could lead to inaccessible files on (broken) operating systems :)
  • Using the experimental "map import" feature could cause the initiative panel for the map to fail repeatedly; importing a map now correctly clears the initiative panel entirely

  • Problem with importing a token macro with accented characters in it (http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14322&p=151741#p151609; fix required restructuring PackedFile.putFile() methods)

  • Patch for preventing token names from being empty (Rumble)
  • Token stacks allow access to incorrect token (reported by aliasmask; fixed by Rumble)
  • Selection of unowned tokens is always allowed, even when Strict Token Ownership is enabled on the Start Server dialog (Rumble; http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14547) this patch didn't make it into b67 :(

  • 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
