ARL Change Log

NOTE: Always remove the folder for old versions and install a fresh copy when upgrading.

Version 1.1.0 Beta 2

Changes to the recipe list panel:

• Removed the "sorting type" dropdown menu - it has been replaced by three "view mode" tabs at the bottom of the panel; "Acquisition", "Location", and "Recipe".
• The three view modes can be viewed in either ascending or descending order, and either by recipe name or by skill level.
• A toggle has been added for displaying recipes which have been put into the exclusion list.
• The "Filter" and "Reset" buttons are now the same size.
• The search entry box has been lengthened.
• The "Search" and "X" (clear search) buttons have been removed - they are now unnecessary due to improved entry box behavior.
• The expand/contract All button has had its appearance altered to be a better aesthetic fit with the rest of the panel.
• Tooltips generated by buttons and other panel widgets will now appear to the top-right of their source instead of the default tooltip location.
• Recipes which require specific profession specializations will now show that fact in their tooltip.
• The tooltip text for the "Specialty" filter in the General Filters section now more accurately describes its function.

Miscellaneous changes:

• A large number of recipes which are sold in limited quantities will now display this fact, and the number available, both in the recipe tooltip and in the expanded list entry.
• More recipes have had World Drop locations added to them.
• Under the "Display Options" section of the configuration panel, it is now possible to turn off the "hint text" for recipe acquire tooltips.
• Most recipes which are acquired via a trainer will now be displayed as being Common quality.

Bug Fixes.

Version 1.1.0 Beta 1

Changes to the recipe list panel:

• The behavior of Location sorting has been fundamentally changed. The list will now contain location names which can be expanded to show all recipes which can be obtained in that location.
• The behavior of Acquisition sorting has been fundamentally changed. The list will now contain the names of acquire types such as "World Drop", "Trainer", and "Vendor", which can be expanded to show all recipes which can be obtained in that manner.
• Recipe sorting types in the dropdown selector are now localized.
• Typing in the search entry box will now yield results immediately.
• The search entry box now has a ten-line history buffer. To store a line in the history, press the enter key of click the Search button. To recall a line, use the up or down arrow keys while the cursor is in the entry box.
• Added support for searching by location name and by acquire type.
• The status bar at the bottom of the list panel will now show the number of list entries in parenthesis.
• World Drop recipes now show which continent or zone they may be found in as well as a level range for the mobs which drop them.
• List entries are now colored according to their quality, instead of by skill level. Skill levels are still colored as before.
• All obtain types (Trainer, Vendor, Reputation, etc.) have new color schemes.
• Faction vendors are now colored by their reaction type: Red for opposing faction, green for same faction, and yellow for neutral vendors.
• It is now possible to scroll with the mouse wheel while the mouse pointer is over the scrollbar.

Changes to recipe filters:

• A new filter category has been added which allows selective filtering based on the quality of the recipe item.
• The icons for the Reputation and Obtain filter categories have been changed.
• Reputation filters now behave identically to Class filters - every flag must be toggled off for the recipe to not show in the list.
• The General filter category now has a "Retired" checkbox which allows for filtering recipes which have been removed from the game.

Miscellaneous changes:

• The Display configuration section now has a toggle for showing unknown recipes in the tooltip for trainers, vendors, and mobs.
• The textdump facility now has a cleaner CSV output and added support for BBCode output and Name output.
• An enormous amount of effort was put into making the database much more accurate in all areas.
• ARL's memory footprint has been reduced by roughly 40%.

Bug Fixes.

• The skill level of recipes which involve reputation are now correctly colored as red.
• Changes to a character's reputation levels will now be correctly reflected in the list.
