PRE-RELEASE

This stable pre-release contains everything in our Puffy Planet release, plus:

GUI

• Linux and Mac users are better reminded to update their SSL certificates when required.
• The GUI no longer forgets sort and filtering options after downloading new metadata.
• Unhandled exceptions are better displayed to the user.
• Columns are more likely to remain the size you set them to be.
• We no longer invite users to upgrade mods with no upgrade available.
• Mod descriptions have better word-wrapping.
• Mods with "provide" functionality are better displayed.
• A shiny new CKAN icon.

Command Line

• Less terrible errors when downloads fail.
• ckan remove can take a space separated list of modules.

CKAN Metadata

• WTFPL is now recognised as a valid license.
• Mods may specify a sub-directory under GameData.

Internal

Special thanks go to @Ippo343, @mgsdk, @RichardLake, @AlexanderDzhoganov, and @Felger, all who made substantial contributions to this release.

Notes

• NetKAN is a tool used by meta-data authors. Regular users do not require it.

Unstable pre-release

Command Line

• ckan upgrade no longer tries to remove modules which depend upon the upgrading module.

• 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.

Contact Light

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.
