What's new in MapTool 1.3 Build 86
Apr 28, 2011
- The focused was primarily on performance gains.In that regard, we have made some pretty significant gains but it appears that the Individual Fog option may still be too much work for many machines.
- If you are using Individual Views and Individual Fog and finding that you have a performance lag, please try starting your server without Individual Fog enabled. If that solves the problem you can run without Individual Fog in the future.
- That's the default mode that MapTool 1.3 has used in the past. (Individual Fog is a relatively new feature -- it's only been around for the last 6-8 builds, in various levels of completeness.)
- I would like to spend more time on the performance issue, but my RL schedule is going to preclude me working on MapTool in the manner I have for the last couple of months. So I need to get the source code locked down and checked into Git so that 1.4 can start.
- As always, bug reports related to this build should go here. More general problems -- things that have been out there for awhile -- should be posted first in the MapTool forum (and someone will move them to Bug Reports when they've been confirmed).
New in MapTool 1.3 Build 85 (Apr 7, 2011)
- This build has an updated Spanish translation, some tweaks to the way the Individual Fog feature works, and a few cleanups of the way hex grids work. There are no new features, just bug fixes.
New in MapTool 1.3 Build 84 (Feb 11, 2011)
- The bugs reported in the b83 announcement thread are fixed and here's the latest. As usual, the ChangeLog linked from the Main Page of the wiki has details about what was fixed in this build. Quite a few items for a 24-hour turn-around. ;)
New in MapTool 1.3 Build 81 (Jan 14, 2011)
- A new bugfix build of MapTool is available.

New in MapTool 1.3 Build 70 (Jun 22, 2010)
- Add trusted macro for Wiki: setOwner() (done by Craig in b69 but I don't think it was in the announcement)
- Rectangles drawn with zero width/height are removed and not added to the map (viewtopic.php?f=21&t=14793)
- Preferences dialog has clearer text describing how map defaults are only for new maps (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14797)
- Wiki: getPropertyNames() checked for the wrong number of parameters
- NPE due to stacked tokens on a map (not sure how an NPE happens though? viewtopic.php?f=21&t=14865)
- Drag/drop of filesystem objects (finished? viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14068&p=154991)
- Added help info for GM-only auras to the Abeille form for the Campaign Properties dialog
- Craig - fixed bug in Wiki: setPC() caused by me! (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14823)
- Craig - added Wiki: isVisible() and a "campaign" parameter for Wiki: getInfo() script function
- Rumble - select unowned tokens patch; cleanup
New in MapTool 1.3 Build 69 (Jun 14, 2010)
- When loading a campaign referenced assets are not found; now assets are not saved when the asset isn't there in the first place (should never happen, so log warnings have been added)
- Fixed bug with MacroButtonProperties when saving to the GlobalPanel as a Player connected to a server (viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14644&p=155439)
- Fixed bug displaying macro button dialog in situation similar to above
- change Random() to SecureRandom() because it provides better statistical spread across the value range
- Using Meta-Shift-O resets all fog so that only currently visible areas are exposed and everything else is hard fog (on Windows Meta=Ctrl, on OSX Meta=Cmd)
- Started work on localizing more text, mostly related to the token context menu
- Iain - Fix to allow code to compile on Eclipse when not running on OSX (viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14644&p=156024)
- Related to the above, when Apple library not found the dock bar is simply not updated
- Rumble - chat notifier moved to upper left corner of map (overlay color can be set in Preferences)
- Rumble - select-unowned-tokens fixes
New in MapTool 1.3 Build 68 (Jun 1, 2010)
- Change Wiki: resetProperty() so that the property is actually removed from the token
- A lot of token-related macro functions were cleaned up to ensure that they cause the token to be sent to other machines when modified. See viewtopic.php?f=21&t=14139 for example
- Add Preferences option that enables the map load/save menu options with the requisite "Are You Sure?" prompt when the checkbox is enabled.
- Finished the autosave code for the chat log
New in MapTool 1.3 Build 67 (May 28, 2010)
- This build adds a number of bug fixes and one or two new features.
New in MapTool 1.3 Build 66 (May 7, 2010)
- Another bug fix build has been uploaded.
- There were a number of incompabilities in b64/65 when loading old campaign files and/or tokens.
- This build corrects those issues. So far the posts to the announcement thread have been quite positive.
New in MapTool 1.3 Build 65 (May 6, 2010)
- Contains numerous small fixes and typos, and tries to correct some problems with importing and exporting maps to .rpmap files. However, it appears that there are already some issues reported against it (see the announcement thread, below).
New in MapTool 1.3 Build 64 (Apr 24, 2010)
- This release replaces 1.2b32 as the latest MapTool Release. There will still be the occasional bug fix or perhaps a small feature enhancement, but all major development will move to the 1.4 series.
